Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is not only the conclusion of Disney's new trilogy, but also designed to be a culmination of the entire franchise in much the same way that Avengers: Endgame capped off a decade of Marvel storytelling - there will undoubtedly be more Star Wars stories, but the Skywalker Saga is officially at an end. So it's fitting that, in the film's climactic showdown between Rey and a resurrected Emperor Palpatine, Rey channels the strength of every Jedi who came before her ("a thousand generations," as Luke Skywalker tells her) in order to defeat Palpatine and the power of every Sith that is imbued in him.
In that emotional moment, we hear the voices of many iconic past Jedi encouraging Rey, with several Star Wars actors from the movies, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and Star Wars Rebels reprising their roles and lending their voices for Rey's Force-fuelled pep-talk. Check out a list of all the returning Jedi voice actors who cameoed in The Rise of Skywalker in the gallery below, and read our explainer on Force healing in the Star Wars universe.
All the Voices of Jedi Past Rey Hears (and the Voice Actors Who Play Them)
Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen)
The Chosen One who was prophesied to bring balance in the Force knew plenty about going toe to toe with the Emperor. Although he fell to the Dark Side in Revenge of the Sith and became Palpatine’s deadly apprentice, Darth Vader, Anakin was redeemed by his son Luke before his death in Return of the Jedi. He was last seen taking his place alongside Yoda and his former Master and friend, Obi-Wan Kenobi, as a Force Ghost at the end of Return of the Jedi.
Luminara Unduli (voiced by Olivia D’abo in The Clone Wars)
A skilled Mirialan Jedi Master who lived during the waning days of the Republic, Luminara fought many battles during the Clone Wars alongside her Padawan, Barriss Offee, commanding the 41st Elite Corps in the Grand Army of the Republic. She was captured by the Empire after the issue of Order 66 and was secretly executed in Imperial custody. To add insult to injury, her likeness was used as a trap to lure in other Jedi survivors who believed she had survived Order 66, until Kanan Jarrus and his band of rebels uncovered the Empire’s scheme and finally laid her memory to rest. She was portrayed in Attack of the Clones by Mary Oyaya.
Ahsoka Tano (Ashley Eckstein)
Anakin Skywalker’s Padawan, a Torgruta, earned her stripes in the trenches of the Clone Wars fighting alongside Anakin and Obi-Wan, but found her faith in the Jedi Order tested during the conflict, after she was framed for a crime she didn’t commit. After her name was cleared, she chose not to rejoin the Jedi, striking out on her own path and eventually becoming an invaluable rebel asset after the rise of the Empire and the destruction of the Jedi Order. She was last seen alive in Star Wars Rebels, around the time of the Battle of Endor - although her fate after that point is unclear - but if she’s speaking to Rey through the Force, it seems safe to assume Ahsoka died at some point between the events of Rebels and The Rise of Skywalker. Maybe we'll see her fate play out in The Mandalorian?
Aayla Secura (voiced by Jennifer Hale in The Clone Wars)
A Twi'lek Jedi Master who served as a commander in the Clone Wars, Aayla fought on many fronts while leading the 327th Star Corps and their clone commander Bly, who turned on her and shot her in the back after the announcement of Order 66. Her death was shown onscreen in Revenge of the Sith, where she was played by Amy Allen.
Mace Windu (Samuel L. Jackson)
Between his distinctive purple lightsaber and aggressive combat style, Mace Windu was one of the most formidable Jedi Masters of his generation, but his trust in Anakin Skywalker proved to be his undoing. After growing suspicious of Chancellor Palpatine, Mace chose to confront the Sith Lord himself, attempting to kill him. When Anakin intervened on Palpatine’s behalf, Darth Sidious turned his Force lightning on Mace and knocked him from a window, killing him. This attack allowed the Chancellor to declare the Jedi as traitors and enact Order 66, leading to their demise.
Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor and Alec Guinness)
Obi-Wan arguably provided Rey with her first real Force encounter - it was his voice she heard when she first picked up Luke’s lightsaber in The Force Awakens, telling her “these are your first steps.” (Those words are mirrored here by his observation, "these are your final steps, Rey - rise and take them.") The noble Jedi Master became one with the Force back in A New Hope during a duel with Darth Vader, offering enough of a distraction to allow Luke, Han, and Leia to escape the Death Star. Still, he remained a constant fixture throughout the Original Trilogy, providing Luke with guidance and wisdom as a Force Ghost. Oddly, The Rise of Skywalker uses both Ewan McGregor and Alec Guinness’ voices in this scene, despite the fact that they’re the same person and Rey didn’t meet Obi-Wan in either his young or old guise - we’re guessing it’s just a way to pay homage to Guinness’s beloved role in addition to McGregor’s, but plot-wise, it doesn’t make much sense.
Yoda (Frank Oz)
Adi Gallia (voiced by Angelique Perrin in The Clone Wars)
A member of the Jedi High Council, Adi Gallia was a Tholothian Jedi Master who also served as a general in the Clone Wars, notably fighting alongside Obi-Wan in his hunt for Darth Maul. She was killed by Maul’s brother, Savage Opress, during the conflict. She was played by Gin Clarke in live-action for The Phantom Menace.
Kanan Jarrus (Freddie Prinze Jr.)
One of the few Jedi who survived Order 66, Kanan went into hiding following the destruction of the Jedi Order, choosing to use a blaster and keep his lightsaber disassembled to avoid revealing his true identity - at least until he encountered a Force-sensitive orphan kid, Ezra Bridger, and chose to train him as his Padawan. Kanan led a band of rebels against the Empire for years following the fall of the Republic, winning many victories despite suffering many losses (including his sight). He died sacrificing his life to save his fellow rebels, and became part of the Cosmic Force, manifesting himself as a loth-wolf to Ezra following his death.
Qui-Gon Jinn (Liam Neeson)
Obi-Wan’s master was something of a maverick in his lifetime, pushing the Jedi to train Anakin Skywalker despite his age and inability to control his emotions. Qui-Gon died in a duel with Darth Maul, but was avenged by Obi-Wan, who cut the Sith apprentice in half (but, as we later discovered, wouldn’t succeed in killing Maul until years later). Qui-Gon taught Yoda, and later Obi-Wan, how to retain their identities and manifest themselves as a Force Ghost after death, communing with Obi-Wan during his years in exile on Tatooine.
Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill)
This one's a no-brainer, since Luke appeared earlier in the film, but we figured we'd include him anyway. Rey’s mentor and the hero of the Original Trilogy became one with the Force in The Last Jedi following his impressive Force-projection showdown with Kylo Ren. He appeared to his protege in her hour of need in The Rise of Skywalker, urging her not to go into hiding on Ahch-To as he did, but to embrace her destiny and take on Emperor Palpatine. Both Luke and Leia were aware of Rey’s lineage as Palpatine’s granddaughter, and chose to train her in the ways of the Force regardless, knowing that her inherent goodness was more than a match for her questionable bloodline - which made her choice to take on their family name as her own at the end of the film all the more poignant.
