Yes, that’s Alexander Siddig in Star Wars: The Bad Batch

By  | 

If you watched the latest episode of Star Wars: The Bad Batch on Disney+, then you heard a very familiar voice: Alexander Siddig plays Senator Avi Singh!

Episode 10 of The Bad Batch, titled “Common Ground”, has clones rescuing a separatist – Sen. Singh – from their mutual Imperial enemies. Not only does the plot have two unlikely allies working together, having a Star Trek alumnus on a Star Wars show is also a nod to two sci-fi fandoms that have a history of feuding.

Mel started a fan site for Siddig in 1996, as a way to learn HTML and to promote his charitable endeavors. In 1998, he proposed that it become his official fan site; she quickly agreed and a long-distance friendship was born. You can reach Mel at mel[at]sidcity[dot]net.
