According to IB Times, Julie Dolan will now play as the young Leia. Dolan also voices the same character in the franchise's mobile game "Star Wars: Uprising".
On the other hand, executive producer Dave Filoni revealed to TV Insider on what fans should expect on the challenges of Princess Leia in "Star Wars Rebels" Season 2.
Filoni stated, "We thought we had an opportunity to show her learning to be a leader, experimenting with the personality that becomes the stronger more resolute character you see in a New Hope.
One of the complex challenges of depicting Leia in Rebels is that we have to remind the audience that at this point she is part of the Empire. She doesn't believe in the Empire, but she is acting the part, almost a double agent."
As for the official plot synopsis for episode 10, Yahoo! News UK details that Princess Leia Organa of Alderaan will be destined to planet Lothal to supply ships for the rebel fleet. Suddenly, the Empire establishes a lockdown which will throw her plan in danger.
"Star Wars Rebels" Season 2 Episode 10 is entitled as "A Princess on Lothal". The forthcoming episode is slated to premiere this Wednesday, January 20, 2016 at 9:00 p.m. exclusively on Disney XD.
