Star Wars Battlefront 2 Actor hinting at possible Inferno Squad story set during the time of The Mandalorian?

[Ryan.]

She's @ing the writers of the Battlefront 2 and Squadrons campaigns.




Her and the actor for Del Meeko posted on Twitter late last year about being back in mo cap.

I hope it's just a standalone game, I don't really need it to be Battlefront 3. Would rather them focus on just showing that story and make it good. BF2 was lacking a bit

I'm sure he still helped write whatever they're doing now!

Looking it up he doesn't seem to be full time at WB, and even then he would still be aware of other projects and potentially contributed to them

I love me some Iden Versio. By the time of Mandalorian she'd already defected to the New Republic. I'd totally be down for facing down and out stormtroopers.

 

[BlackheartVinyl]

I need Battlefront 3 real bad.

 

[Salarians]

yes please

not a huge fan of the BF2 campaign but I liked her character

 

[Rimpim]

Battlefront III please :)

This time with the vehicles on the map, not that spawning stuff. Otherwise we are golden.

Edit. Also playable Din Djarin

Yeah, what's up in the Idenverse, yo?

 

[Siggy-P]

We weren't expecting spin-off forces.

This corroborates the voice actor and mo-cap sessions in LA that have been happening

Summary
Janina Gavankar (Iden Versio), Anthony Skordi (Admiral Garrick Versio) and T.J Ramini (Del Meeko) were all in Los Angeles in November 2020 - at least from the 9th to the 22nd of November. All cast members posted photos of themselves either in a voice recording booth or holding a motion-capture suit. Ramini and Skordi confirmed in December 2020 that they were recently working together on a yet-to-be-announced project. The only likely project that they could all be working on together is something to do with Inferno Squad, such as a Battlefront game.

Longer form and details:

Some Twitter accounts of the cast of the Battlefront 2 campaign were making mention of doing some motion-capture work - these tweets are all dated and mainly from November/December 2020. The three actors that have been working together seem to be: Janina Gavankar (Iden Versio); Anthony Skordi (Admiral Versio); T.J Ramini (Del Meeko.) Full summary at bottom of post.

Janina:

• Janina's first mention of mocap work comes from this tweet on the 19th of November 2020. It shows a photo of a motion-capture suit labeled with her initials and a shushing emoji as the caption.
• Her next mention comes on the 21st of November 2020 (or 20th depending on your timezone.) Here's the tweet. It's again a photo of a motion-capture suit, this time with the caption:
  

  Diff day, diff suit. This is one of the coolest weeks of my life.

• There's also a photo from the 17th of November 2020 in what looks to be a motion-capture studio. The critical thing here is that the location is tagged as Los Angeles. This will be relevant later.

By itself, these tweets are actually pretty normal and the type of thing that any actor would tweet when they're working on a new project that they can't talk about. But then in the same timespan we have these next tweets:

Anthony:

• Mr Skordi's first hint of mocap/voice acting comes from a tweet on the 7th of November 2020. Here's a link. It's a basic photo of himself in a voice recording booth. His replies and likes on this tweet are where things get interesting - when asked "What're you doing there?", he responds with a basic shushing emoji. One of the replies to this tweet also asked "Star Wars?", which he then Liked.
• Anthony also posted a photo of a motion-capture studio in the same week that Janina Gavankar did, however that tweet has since been deleted by the looks of it so I can't prove that claim and it lies in the realm of "source(s): dude trust me."
• On the 21st/22nd of November 2020, Anthony uploaded a photo of a Christmas tree. This tweet has a location-tag of "The Grove", a shopping centre in Los Angeles. You can also see the words "Los Angeles" in a sign in the photo. So far we can confirm that Janina and Mr Skordi were in Los Angeles at the same time.
• On a lesser note, Anthony's pinned tweet is discussing Admiral Versio and talking about whether or the character should have gone down with his ship. Highly likely to just be some fun discussion and not a hint that this character did survive, but worth mentioning.

T.J Ramini:

• T.J uploaded a picture of a motion-capture suit on the 13th/14th of November 2020. (Again, the date depends on your timezone.) This is in the same week that Janina uploaded her motion-capture photo. It has the caption:
  

  Hello, old friend

• On the 17th of November 2020, T.J posted a tweet with the caption:
  

  Aaaand now it's 80 degrees again... #LosAngeles

  Thanks to that Los Angeles hastag, we can now confirm that Janina, Anthony and T.J were all in Los Angeles during the same time period.

Anthony and T.J:

• On the 19th of December 2020, Anthony posted a tweet with a clip of Del Meeko. The tweet is captioned
  

  @TJRamini is such a wonderful actor and an amazing human being.

  To which Ramini then responds with:
  

  Right back atcha, mate. So lovely seeing and working with you again. On what, we shan't reveal, of course

Ryan. feel free to add this to the OP

Played the BF2 campaign last week and it was... strange. Very much a series of arenas built to introduce the player to the characters and mechanics of the base game. With a narrative stitched through it.

I did like her character, I just think she turned on the Empire too easily and too suddenly to be remotely plausible. The whole thing just felt like fan service, rather than something interesting and worthy of merit.

Mitch is freelance. He talked on the MinnMax podcast/show about leaving Motive to go freelance.

 

[KDC720]

I know having the characters looking like the actors that play them is common practice nowadays, but for Star Wars especially I think it paves the way for the characters to appear in live action stuff and not be jarring.

This is obviously just mocap stuff for now. But I wouldn't be surprised if characters like Iden or Cal show up in one of the live action shows at some point.

 

[Mathieran]

Yea I would like that. I just played the campaign and I thought it was good, and she was great.

 

[Duane]

I think she should be IN Mando S3, too. I hope they'll use her anywhere Cara Dune would've been used, if possible.

 

[Deleted member 13101]

Would love to see more from them. BFII was great seeing actors of Indian, Greek, and Jordanian descent getting the spotlights, and of course more Lando. Yeah, they should be given more to do gameplay-wise than "here's how you order an orbital strike", but the campaign was still fun overall. Shout out to Shriv.

 

[Man Called Aerodynamics]

I'm into this. I didn't care for the Battlefront 2 campaign at all but Iden's character and performance were a bright spot.

 

[Schlorgan]

They should replace Cara Dune with Iden Versio

 

[Fonst]

I heard a small shooter is coming by EA. Is this it? $30 mini-campaign?

 

[SunBroDave]

Mando is basically just Star Wars Fan Service: The Show, so sure why not

 

[Rassilon]
