Star Wars Zero Company brought a sizable portion of its voice cast to San Diego Comic-Con 2026, giving fans a closer look at the characters leading Bit Reactor’s new tactical adventure through the Clone Wars. The ensemble combines performers already closely associated with Star Wars animation with actors taking on entirely new roles in the galaxy.
Among the familiar voices are Dee Bradley Baker, returning to clone duty as Trick, and Matt Lanter, once again playing Anakin Skywalker. They are joined by Jonathan Freeman and Erica Luttrell as the two voice options for customizable protagonist Hawks, along with Rekha Sharma, Vic Michaelis, JB Blanc, Judy Alice Lee, Alex McKenna and a larger supporting cast.
The July 25 Comic-Con panel went beyond announcing who was playing whom. Baker, Freeman, Michaelis and Sharma joined members of the creative team to discuss how their characters fit into Zero Company, providing an early look at the personalities behind a squad operating in a less familiar corner of the Clone Wars.
Dee Bradley Baker Returns to the Clone Wars
Few performers are as closely connected with the Clone Wars era as Dee Bradley Baker. Across Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars: The Bad Batch, Baker voiced an enormous number of clone troopers while finding subtle ways to make genetically identical soldiers feel like distinct characters.
In Zero Company, he returns as Trick, a clone trooper who becomes part of Hawks’ unconventional team. During the Comic-Con panel, Baker offered some insight into the process he continues to use when approaching an individual clone.
Rather than beginning with a radically different voice, Baker looks at the character’s age, experience, attitude and perspective. From there, he can identify one or two defining characteristics that help separate that clone from the others. The technique allows the clones to retain the vocal connection that comes from their shared origin without becoming interchangeable performances.
Trick is particularly interesting because Zero Company puts its characters at the center of a tactical game where relationships within the squad matter. Operatives develop as they complete missions together, and combinations of characters can unlock new combat synergies. That makes establishing Trick as an individual personality important beyond simply distinguishing him from the other clones appearing in the game.
Baker is not the only performer returning from The Clone Wars. Matt Lanter reprises his role as Anakin Skywalker, extending a performance that has followed the character through animated series, games and other Star Wars projects. His appearance provides another direct connection between Zero Company and the era in which its original story takes place.
Hawks Leads a Very Different Kind of Star Wars Team
At the center of the game is Hawks, a disgraced former Republic officer who has left the Republic behind and formed Zero Company, an independent organization specializing in covert investigations and tactical operations. Players can customize Hawks, including choosing between two voice performances.
Jonathan Freeman provides the masculine voice option, while Erica Luttrell provides the feminine voice.
During the SDCC panel, Freeman described Hawks as someone who had once committed himself completely to a cause, only to take the blame for something that was not his fault. By the time Zero Company begins, he has become a gun for hire who would rather earn credits than become emotionally invested in another cause.
The story continually challenges that position. As Hawks assembles Zero Company and confronts the Infinite Coil, he is given opportunities to reconnect with other people and once again fight for something larger than himself. That character arc puts considerable emphasis on the protagonist’s relationships with the rest of the ensemble rather than treating Hawks solely as a customizable avatar.
One of the most important people surrounding him is Runa Blask, voiced by Vic Michaelis. Runa handles the practical side of keeping Zero Company operating, but she is also a Separatist working alongside a group whose members do not necessarily share her allegiances.
Michaelis said at Comic-Con that they are particularly drawn to characters who see themselves one way while actually behaving another way. Runa fits that description. She may disagree with Hawks and the organization’s broader mission, but she also has her own reasons for wanting the Infinite Coil stopped. That contradiction gives her an uneasy position within the team.
Rekha Sharma Gives Zero Company Its Main Threat
The central enemy facing the group is Kundri Fathom, voiced by Rekha Sharma. Fathom leads the Infinite Coil, a Separatist-aligned paramilitary organization attempting to spread a deadly plague across the galaxy.
Sharma’s approach to the character is closely connected to the period in which the game takes place. She described the Clone Wars as the environment capable of producing someone like Fathom. Years of conflict and personal hardship have left the character exhausted with the existing order and prepared to pursue her own path.
That gives Zero Company an antagonist shaped by the same conflict that has affected its protagonists. The game takes place during the twilight of the Clone Wars, but instead of following another traditional Republic-versus-Separatist campaign, its story operates around an independent group caught among competing interests.
The broader cast reflects that mixture. Zero Company includes clones, mercenaries, a Jedi, scoundrels, droids and characters with competing political loyalties. It gives the actors an ensemble in which disagreements and relationships can become as important to the story as the tactical missions themselves.
The Star Wars Zero Company Voice Cast
The confirmed cast brings together performers from animation, games, television and previous Star Wars projects:
- Jonathan Freeman — Hawks, masculine voice
- Erica Luttrell — Hawks, feminine voice
- Dee Bradley Baker — Trick
- Matt Lanter — Anakin Skywalker
- Rekha Sharma — Kundri Fathom
- Vic Michaelis — Runa Blask
- JB Blanc — Kabb Uppercut
- Judy Alice Lee — Jae Mordant
- Alex McKenna — Cly Kullervo
- Nicole Rainteau — Tel-Rea
- Leo Howard — Bennic Halloren
- Dylan Kenin — Visser
- Jim Pirri — Neesh Renark
- D.C. Douglas — M-3VO, also known as Meevo
- Hunter Smith — Typhon
The lineup gives Zero Company a mixture of established franchise continuity and new voices. Baker and Lanter immediately connect the game with animated Clone Wars storytelling, while performers including Luttrell, Michaelis, Sharma, Blanc, Lee and McKenna help establish characters created specifically for this part of the Star Wars universe.
That balance was particularly evident at Comic-Con. Rather than relying entirely on recognizable characters from elsewhere in the franchise, the panel concentrated heavily on Hawks, Trick, Runa and Fathom and the personal motivations that bring them into the same conflict.
Zero Company Expands the Clone Wars From the Shadows
Developed by Bit Reactor in collaboration with Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games, Star Wars Zero Company is a single-player, turn-based tactical game built around assembling and commanding a squad. Players operate from a customizable base known as the Den, recruit operatives and make decisions that can affect how missions and relationships develop.
The game arrived on August 27 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. A final trailer released shortly before launch put greater emphasis on the threat posed by Fathom and the Infinite Coil, while showing more of the unconventional team players command against them.
For its voice cast, however, the Comic-Con presentation demonstrated how much of Zero Company depends on making that team feel like more than a collection of tactical units. Baker’s method of finding individuality within the clones, Freeman’s description of Hawks rediscovering a reason to fight, Michaelis’ conflicted Runa and Sharma’s war-weary antagonist all point toward characters shaped differently by the same conflict.
The Clone Wars may provide the familiar backdrop, and the returns of Baker and Lanter strengthen that connection, but Zero Company is ultimately using a large new voice ensemble to tell its story from another corner of the galaxy.
