Aside from being a sound editor, Matt Wood has voiced a number of characters across Star Wars media. Most recently, he’s played the likes of General Grievous in titles such as LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Wood stopped by the Star Wars Celebration this past weekend for an official interview. At one point, he spoke about the many projects planned for the franchise in 2019, and seemed to let loose some interesting information. Wood referenced a “LEGO Star Wars game we’re working on”, but didn’t share any further information.
