Yeah I know I think that Mark Hamill is a great choice for the Dark Master or Malefor. That's his real name.

The same guy (Mark Hamill) who voices the Dark Master also voices Fire Lord Ozai in Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Despite being from the same company, I really don't think Crash has anything to do with Spyro. And I always though Crash was their main dude while Spyro was second. Oh well, anyway...... Are you guys looking forward to play as Cynder. I am, but personally I'd rather play as just Spyro (since the series focuses on him), but Cynder shows alot of promise.

Yeah Dragon King, That would be an awesome mach! You are right of course about Spyro having future games, They will never end such a famous franchise! I can't wait to see what 2009 and beyond hold! Could they possibly be better than the Spyro we are currently anticipating? I hpoe so! I agree with you too, sails_the_fox, Spyro should live on forever!

Dragon King is right. Spyro will keep on going till crash is over and he is still on his main trilogy and kept goin for 12 years. 2009 is holding something for us Spyro fans and its not just the movie. Tell ya da truth I hope both the series does not end. Just roll on forever, but im afraid they're both goin to end soon.
