Speaking in a recent episode of The Playlist’s Bingeworthy podcast, Timothy Olyphant was asked if he was in the upcoming Dave Filoni Star Wars film, previously announced at Star Wars Celebration, and whilst he was coy with his response, he admitted to being keen to return to the role of Cobb Vanth.
In response to that question, Olyphant playfully said, “If I had [talks with Filoni], I wouldn’t tell you.”
But if given his choice, Olyphant would love to see Cobb Vanth show up in the film or any future “Star Wars” projects.
“Honestly, I can tell you that I’ve been very, very lucky with those guys. I’ve only done two episodes and to have only done those two episodes and feel like you’re part of a world and they created such a memorable character,” said the actor. “I mean, you know, I’m getting away with something here. I did two episodes and I’ve got like four toys out there. It’s ridiculous, and I know it because all of a sudden there’s people at the airport with toys. That’s new. But, it was a ball working on those things and those guys know if they call me I’d show up. I don’t care if it’s a big giant thing or just to show up for an afternoon. It’s a fun gig.”
Hopefully we will see the character back on the small screen, or big screen, in the future.
