Biography[]

On February 29, 2012, Dave Filoni, supervising director of Star Wars: The Clone Wars announced via his official Facebook page that Pegg would be voicing the original trilogy character of Dengar in Bounty, an episode of the series' fourth season.[2]

Pegg provided the voice of C-3PO and Candace's commanding officer in Phineas and Ferb: Star Wars, a non-canon crossover with the Disney cartoon Phineas and Ferb.[3]

In Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens, he played Unkar Plutt and also advised Abrams to rely more on practical effects, explaining when his three-year old daughter had watched The Empire Strikes Back with him, she had exclaimed "Daddy, [Yoda] he's real!" While visiting during filming, a technician approached him and said, "Hey, you're the guy whose daughter saved Star Wars!"[4]
