As much as I would love Sir Patrick Stewart OBE to voice Star Swirl with the Shakespearean flair that has made him famous, I also like to know that actors are doing things that they enjoy. Stewart is known for portraying heroic leaders and captains, it's true, but I also know that he enjoys doing fun comical roles as well (like voicing the poop emoji ) so for him to voice the legendary Star Swirl to me would need to be his prerogative.

I preamble with that statement simply to say that, though he would be my first choice for the role of Star Swirl, if he were not available obviously I would need to pick someone else. Having to choose a Star Trek actor, I would then choose Dwight Schultz. Though he is probably best known for playing lunatics or stammering social misfits, I've also heard him do some impressive voice work in which I never would have known it was him had I not seen the credits. So I think Schultz could give us a Star Swirl that sounds noble and powerful yet with a slight touch of eccentricity that one might expect from a wizardly character. Thus I think he would be perfect for the role.
