Behind the Scenes at #StarWarsRebelsEvent with Vanessa Marshall

#StarWarsRebelsEvent – An Epic Star Wars Experience with Vanessa Marshall

Go behind the scenes at #StarWarsRebelsEvent with Vanessa Marshall and droids Chopper and R2D2. An unforgettable Star Wars Rebels experience!

The #StarWarsRebelsEvent was the one my children were the most excited for me to attend! From the Hilton Garden Inn, we met in the lobby and walked one block to the Loews Hollywood Hotel.

I didn’t know what to expect. After taking the elevator to the restaurant level, we wound our way to Preston’s Restaurant. Standing in front of etched glass doors, we were suddenly transported to a galaxy far, far away when they opened—greeted by Stormtroopers!

Inside, we met everyone’s favorite droid—R2D2!

And with him was the newest droid on the block: Chopper. Known for his sass and unique personality, Chopper plays a vital role in the Ghost crew on the new Star Wars animated series. He may be made of repurposed parts, but his spirit is pure rebellion.

But the true star of the event? Vanessa Marshall, the voice behind Hera.

Meet Vanessa Marshall

Vanessa is energetic, kind, and a captivating storyteller. You might recognize her voice from shows like Ben 10, Johnny Bravo, and What’s New, Scooby-Doo?. Daughter of John Marshall (news reporter) and Joan Van Ark (of Knots Landing fame), Vanessa shared amusing stories about growing up with her iconic mom.

She co-founded Marsh-Kish Production with ex-husband Andrew Kishino, also a voice actor. Fun fact: both Vanessa and Joan Van Ark voiced lead roles in The Spectacular Spider-Man series!
