This page lists the characters that appear in Star Wars Rebels.

Crew of the Ghost

From left to right: Sabine Wren, Hera Syndulla, Ezra Bridger, Garazeb "Zeb" Orrelios, and Kanan Jarrus as they appear in season one.

Ezra Bridger

Ezra Bridger (voiced by Taylor Gray) is a 15-year-old human street urchin and con-artist with Force abilities, whose parents were imprisoned by Imperial forces. The episode "Empire Day" reveals he was born the same day Palpatine officiated the Galactic Empire.[1] At the start of the series, his main motivation is find his parents. In the pilot episode the Jedi padawan Kanan Jarrus decides to take him as his apprentice. In Path of the Jedi, Ezra is formally inducted into the Jedi Order, when Yoda's voice helps him to find a kyber crystal to create his first lightsaber, which after being constructed, is blue and features a built-in stun blaster patterned after his street urchin trademark weapon, an energy slingshot. In the second-season episode Legacy, he discovers that his parents were killed in a prison revolt. In Shroud of Darkness it is revealed Kanan fears Ezra might turn to the dark-side, which partially happens when the former Sith Lord Maul draws him closer towards the dark-side in Twilight of the Apprentice and in further episodes also, keeps calling him apprentice, showing interest in taking him as an apprentice,[2] his first lightsaber is also destroyed by Darth Vader. In the season 3 premiere episode Steps into Shadow, Ezra replaces it with a green-bladed lightsaber. In the same episode, Ezra is promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Commander of the Phoenix Squadron, and also assumes permanent leadership of the Ghost crew, due to Kanan's blindness preventing him from fully assuming the role. However, due to his reckless leadership at the time, he was suspended from command until further notice. The episodes Shroud of Darkness, Holocrons of Fate and Twin Suns reveal Ezra's main motivation of the third season, to "find the key to destroying the Sith", who he interprets as the exiled Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. During the season 3 finale, by taking command of a squad during the battle against Thrawn's fleet, it shows that at this point, Ezra's status as Lieutenant Commander has been fully restored.

On his character, Gray stated: "He's a pickpocket, he's a little thief. But he's doing it all because he needs to survive". Executive producer Greg Weisman said: "We see this whole series very much through Ezra's eyes. As his eyes get opened to what the Empire's capable of, his eyes are opened to the fact that there are people who care, who are trying to fight the good fight, and he becomes one of them."[3]

Kanan Jarrus

Kanan Jarrus (voiced by Freddie Prinze, Jr.), whose real name is Caleb Dume, is one of the last surviving Jedi of the fallen Republic. The episode Legacy reveals that Kanan entered the Jedi Order before getting to know his parents. The comic Kanan: The Last Padawan explores how before the events of Rebels, Caleb Dume is a human Jedi Padawan student of Jedi Master Depa Billaba, until Order 66 made the clone troopers betray and kill the Jedi Order, including Kanan's Master.[4] During the Dark Times, Caleb is forced to take the identity of Kanan instead of his real name, in order to hide his Jedi heritage to survive, as explored in the book Star Wars: A New Dawn[5] which also explains how he met Hera Syndulla a few years before the events in Rebels. At the beginning of Rebels Kanan is the de facto leader of the Ghost crew. Despite Kanan having not finished his own Jedi training himself, after seeing potential in Ezra Bridger, he decides to take him as his Jedi Padawan. In The Lost Commanders he initially finds it difficult to trust Captain Rex, due to having experienced Order 66.[6] In "Shroud of Darkness", Kanan was promoted to the rank of Jedi Knight by a vision within a Jedi Temple on the planet Lothal. In the episode "Twilight of the Apprentice" after visiting the planet Malachor, Kanan is blinded by Maul. While still part of the missions and his Force abilities compensating for his acquired handicap, he is from then on forced to take a less active role as a leader.

Executive producer Dave Filoni describes the character as a "cowboy Jedi". Animation supervisor Keith Kellogg said: "He is a Jedi but he's not a Jedi in the traditional sense that we've had before on the show. He's a little more rough around the edges. He's kept his lightsaber locked away, so he hasn't used it in a long time."[7] After being blinded, Kanan has been compared to the Star Wars Legends character Rahm Kota from Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, another Jedi who was blinded,[8] which led Pablo Hidalgo from the Lucasfilm story group to say on Twitter, that both characters were inspired by Zatoichi.[9]

Hera Syndulla

Hera Syndulla (voiced by Vanessa Marshall) is a Twi'lek from the planet Ryloth who is the owner and pilot of the Ghost. She and Kanan share a strong connection. In Wings of the Master, Hera was promoted to Captain of the Phoenix Squadron by Kanan's recommendation. She is the daughter of Cham Syndulla, her father appeared in the Liberty over Ryloth of Star Wars: The Clone Wars before reappearing on Rebels.[10] In the film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story a voice is heard asking General Syndulla to report to a meeting in the Rebel Base of Yavin IV, confirming her rise to the rank of General. The Ghost is among the ships seen during the dogfight over the atmosphere of Scarif, but it is unknown if Hera was piloting her ship during such events, as Dave Filoni said: "I can imagine doing that entire [Scarif] battle from their point of view, whoever is on the Ghost at that point."[11] An upcoming Forces of Destiny animated short will feature Hera teaming up with Princess Leia, Han Solo and Ewoks, while on the forest moon of Endor confirming Hera survived at least until the events of Return of the Jedi.[12]

Hera stars in Star Wars Forces of Destiny.[13]

Filoni said: "She is a very strong-minded character, kind of the heart of the group, keeps everyone together when they would otherwise fall apart".[14]

Sabine Wren

Sabine Wren (voiced by Tiya Sircar) is a 16-year-old Mandalorian graffiti artist, Imperial Academy dropout and a former bounty hunter with expert knowledge of weapons and explosives. In "The Protector of Concord Dawn", she is revealed to come from House Vizsla, thus leading her to be related with Death Watch, a Mandalorian terrorist group in The Clone Wars. The episode Imperial Super Commandos reveals her mother, Ursa Wren, is sided with the Empire.[15] The episode The Antilles Extraction reveals she was the one who helped pilot Wedge Antilles defect from the Empire and join the Rebellion. In Visions and Voices, Sabine acquires the Dark Saber, a weapon used by Death Watch and also by Darth Maul during the Clone Wars. In Trials of the Darksaber, Sabine's past is fully revealed, and Kanan trains Sabine in ligthsaber combat. (Sabine does not use The Force).[16] By the next episode, Sabine decides to stay with her family in order to help unite the clans against the Empire.[15]

Sabine stars in Star Wars Forces of Destiny.[13]

CG supervisor of lighting and FX Joel Aron said, "She's adding something that we haven't really seen before in the Star Wars universe. You have a character that is expressively creative through art—whether it's the color of her hair or what she's done to her armor."[17]

Garazeb "Zeb" Orrelios

Garazeb "Zeb" Orrelios (voiced by Steven Blum) is a Lasat honor guard, whose people were one of the first species to rise up against the Empire in its early days, which responded by committing a genocide campaign against them. This near-extinction has left him with a gruff demeanor, but he has remained loyal to the struggle against the Empire, eventually to discover that his fellow Lasat still exist as a culture, in the episode Legends of the Lasat.

In the series, Zeb is known for the frequent use of the Lasat swear word "Karabast!" used as an expression of surprise or frustration.[18] His physical appearance is based on Ralph McQuarrie's original conceptual artwork for Chewbacca. Art director Kilian Plunkett said: "Zeb actually is very articulate and witty and funny, and that's sort of juxtaposed with what he looks like, makes for an interesting character".[19]

C1-10P "Chopper"

C1-10P ("Chopper") (voiced by "Himself") is an irritable and irascible astromech droid built and owned by Hera, who recovered the droid, and nicknamed it "Chopper", after it crashed on Ryloth during the Clone Wars. In the film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story the character has a brief cameo moving around the Rebel Base on Yavin IV, confirming his survival until at least that point.[20]

Choppers' design is heavily modeled on the original conceptual artwork for R2-D2. Describing the character, Filoni said, "He likes to do things the way that he wants, not necessarily the way the crew wants or as fast as the crew would like, but he gets the job done. He's incredibly loyal". Chopper is also summarized as, "If R2-D2 is your favorite dog, Chopper is the cat".[21] For Chopper's live action cameo, Matt Martin, a member of Lucasfilm Story Group, served as the on-set operator of Chopper.

Recurring characters

The Galactic Empire

The following characters are members of the Galactic Empire:

Emperor Sheev Palpatine

Sheev Palpatine (voiced by Sam Witwer) is the Emperor of the Galactic Empire and Darth Vader's Sith Master.[22] After learning from Vader that Ahsoka Tano is among the rebel forces, Palpatine orders Vader to capture her, intending to use her to uncover more surviving Jedi, and to send another Inquisitor after the Rebels.

Darth Vader

Darth Vader (voiced by James Earl Jones as Darth Vader, Matt Lanter as Anakin Skywalker) is the Imperial army's cyborg Sith commander and a former Jedi corrupted by Emperor Palpatine. He first appeared in the extended cold opening scene that was added to ABC's broadcast of Spark of Rebellion on October 26, 2014, where he orders the Grand Inquisitor through a communications hologram to hunt down the remaining Jedi and try to lure any Force-sensitive children they take as their Padawans. Filoni stated: "We wanted to do something special for the ABC broadcast. We've added a scene which gives audiences insight into the Inquisitor and includes a cameo by Darth Vader, voiced by the distinguished actor James Earl Jones."[23][24] Vader later appears in "Fire Across the Galaxy" where he appears before Grand Moff Tarkin and Agent Kallus sometime after the Grand Inquisitor's death. He appears in Season 2 premiere movie The Siege of Lothal, after Tarkin requests assistance against the Jedi presence in the rebels. Vader then wipes out most of the rebel cell in the Lothal system, injures half the Ghost crew, destroys Ezra's home and a community of displaced people on Lothal and has Minister Tua murdered with the rebels blamed for the crime. After learning Ahsoka Tano – his former Jedi apprentice – is among the rebels, Vader is ordered by the Emperor to dispatch another Inquistor to go after her in hopes of using her to find the remaining Jedi. Ahsoka later learns of Vader's identity through a vision in a Jedi temple on Lothal, which Vader arrives at after it is claimed by the Inquisitors. He then journeys to Malachor and attempts to claim the ancient Sith weapon there, only to face Ahsoka in battle after claiming to have destroyed Anakin. He later emerges alone from the ruins. In "Shroud of Darkness," he appears as his former self - Anakin Skywalker, hero of the Clone Wars and Ahsoka's former Jedi master - as both a vision to Ahsoka and a holographic recording providing lightsaber instructions, found within Kanan's holocron. Skywalker's voice is also heard briefly in a duel between Vader and Ahsoka in "Twilight of the Apprentice" after Ahsoka slices Vader's helmet open.

Grand Admiral Thrawn

Grand Admiral Thrawn (voiced by Lars Mikkelsen) is a high-ranking official in the Imperial Military and one of the few non-humans of notable station in the Empire, born to a species known as the Chiss – a humanoid race defined by blue skin and hair with red eyes.

He was originally introduced in Timothy Zahn's 1990s novel series the Thrawn Trilogy for the expanded universe and re-inaugurated into the rebooted timeline with the announcement of his involvement in the third season of Rebels,[25] as well as a new stand-alone novel titled Thrawn that is slated to be released in 2017.[26] Filoni stated: “You couldn’t have grown up a Star Wars fan without encountering Thrawn in Heir to the Empire. It was a dark time when there weren’t any more movies, and it blew our minds that there could be more" when illustrating how important the character was for the expanded universe and the impact of bringing the character back into canon.[27]

Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin

Wilhuff Tarkin (voiced by Stephen Stanton) is an Imperial Grand Moff and the Imperial Governor of the Outer Rim Territories, within which Lothal is located. When Kanan and his group become too powerful for Kallus and the Grand Inquisitor to control, he comes to Lothal to personally take charge, lost his Star Destroyer, the "Sovereign" against Ghost's Crew, and eventually bringing in Darth Vader after the Grand Inquisitor is killed. In the Season 3, he asks to Governor Pryce a solution to destroy the Rebellion. She replies him that the solution is "someone who saw a bigger picture": the Grand Admiral Thrawn.

Senator Gall Trayvis

Senator Gall Trayvis (voiced by Brent Spiner) is an exiled Senator who has the courage to speak out publicly against the Empire[28] by occasionally hacking into holonet news broadcasts. In "Vision of Hope," it was revealed that he was actually in league with the Empire and he attempted to lure the Ghost crew into a trap. In the same episode, it was revealed that Gall Trayvis knew Ezra's parents.

Minister Maketh Tua

Maketh Tua (voiced by Kath Soucie) is Lothal native and a minister for the Galactic Empire. She was a graduate of the Imperial Academy. With Planetary Governor Pryce frequently absent conducting business on Coruscant itself, Minister Tua is in charge of the Imperial bureaucracy which runs the day-to-day government on Lothal. Her major tasks include the ongoing efforts to centralize commerce and production on the planet under Imperial control and promoting development of the planet's new TIE fighter factory, to meet the economic goals set by Tarkin's Five Year Plan. After Kanan's escape from Tarkin at Mustafar during the Season 1 finale, Minister Tua fears she will be blamed for failing to apprehend the other Lothal rebels and tries to defect to the Rebel forces. She is killed when Agent Kallus blows up her shuttle on the orders of Darth Vader, who then frames the Rebels for her death to turn the population of Lothal against them.

Governor Arihnda Pryce

Arihnda Pryce (voiced by Mary Elizabeth McGlynn) is the Governor of the Lothal sector that works for the Galactic Empire. She first appears in Season 3. After repeated successes by the rebels against the Empire, Pryce was summoned by Grand Moff Tarkin who asked just how she intended to solve this persistent problem. Pryce responded that she needed "someone who saw a bigger picture" who turned out to be none other than the feared Grand Admiral Thrawn. After arriving to wipe out the rebels stealing Y-wings, Thrawn orders Pryce to let them escape after realizing the task force was not the entire rebel fleet. Pryce later ventures to Skystrike Academy to find defecting pilots. After the defectors attempt a botched escape led by rebel Sabine Wren, Pryce interrogates and fights Sabine, only to be electrocuted and the defectors escape. Pryce arrives on Lothal with Thrawn to investigate the rebels sabotaging Imperial equipment. After Thrawn uncovers and kills one of the rebels, Morad Sumar, Pryce and the staff put the factory on lockdown, only for the Jedi rebels, Ezra Bridger and Kanan Jarrus to escape with info about a new TIE fighter project with the help of the rebel spy, Agent Kallus, who later frames her as the Rebel Spy and leading Lyste to shun her.

Agent Kallus

Agent Kallus (voiced by David Oyelowo) is a former high-ranking agent of the Imperial Security Bureau and skilled rebel hunter, serving under Darth Vader and working with the Inquisitors. More often than not, he is able to recognize rebel traps and set his own, which nearly succeed in capturing the Lothal rebels. Kallus is present when the Empire massacred the Lasat homeworld of Lasan (Zeb's species) and personally gives the order to use soon-after banned disruptor weapons in the assault. It is later revealed that his hatred of Lasats stems from a harrowing encounter with a Lasat mercenary in his early ISB years, where he was the sole survivor of his unit. Despite his antipathy for the Lasats, Kallus respects them as warriors and in fact bears a degree of remorse over the fact that genocide was used to conquer Lasan. He is also a highly trained hand-to-hand combatant and carries a rare Lasat bo-rifle which was given to him by a Lasat Honor Guard he defeated in single combat when their homeworld fell to the Galactic Empire.[29][30]

On Vader's orders, Kallus sets up Minister Maketh Tua's murder by rigging her shuttle to explode. After he and Zeb crash-land on an ice moon in Geonosis' orbit, they are forced to work together to survive until they are rescued, leading Kallus to develop a friendship with Zeb and beginning to sympathize with the rebels. In Season 3, he continues to chase the rebels under Governor Pryce and Grand Admiral Thrawn. In the episode "An Inside Man," he is revealed to be spying for the rebels as the latest person to use the alias of Fulcrum;[31] however, his secret is eventually discovered by Thrawn in "Through Imperial Eyes".[32] After escaping Thrawn, Kallus defects to the rebel side.[33]

Captain Brunson

Brunson (voiced by Leslie L. Miller) is a captain who appears in Season 3 in the episode "Ghost of Geonosis" Part 2, piloting a Light Cruiser and trying to capture Ghost's Crew to gain a promotion for her and her crew.

In "Double Agent Droid", he gain control of Chopper to try and discover their hidden base. After failing to eject the Ghost Crew into space, they stop Chopper before he can transfer the information. As payback for what he did to her droid, Hera sends in overwhelming data that destroys his ship along with him.

Imperial Inquisitors

The Imperial Inquisitors are Force-sensitive "Dark Side Adepts" of the Galactic Empire, who are sanctioned by and answer only to Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine. Highly skilled in assassination, espionage, interrogation, and target acquisition, their task is to hunt down the remaining Jedi, as well as any children with Force potential. All of the Inquisitors are armed with gyroscopic double-bladed lightsabers, based on an unused concept from The Force Unleashed video game.[35]

The Grand Inquisitor

The Grand Inquisitor (voiced by Jason Isaacs) is a Pau'an Inquisitor. He first appeared in the extended cold opening of "Spark of Rebellion", where he is ordered by Darth Vader to hunt down any Jedi who survived Order 66 and lure to the dark side any Force-sensitive children the Jedi may have taken as Padawans or destroy them if they refuse. The Grand Inquisitor saw the opportunity to do so when called by Agent Kallus to help him hunt down the rebels after Kanan is revealed to be a Jedi. After being defeated by Kanan in "Fire Across the Galaxy", he committed suicide by falling into an exploding reactor core—it is later stated by Dave Filoni that he did this because he was more afraid of facing Vader's punishment for his failure. As the Seventh Sister revealed in "Always Two There Are", the Grand Inquisitor's death left an opening for the other Inquisitors to compete to take his place. In "Shroud of Darkness", his spirit appears to Kanan in the temple on Lothal and reveals that he was once a member of the Temple Guard and thus, a fallen Jedi Knight. After testing Kanan and helping him realize that he cannot protect Ezra from everything, he dubs Kanan a Jedi Knight before calling upon other illusory Temple Guards to delay the Fifth Brother and Seventh Sister in their pursuit of Kanan, Ezra, and Ahsoka.

The Fifth Brother

After "The Siege of Lothal", he is sent by Darth Vader under Emperor Palpatine's orders to hunt the rebels down after Ahsoka is discovered among them. He first appeared in "Relics of the Old Republic", where he meets with Admiral Konstantine telling him that he will finish the job that Admiral Konstantine and Agent Kallus had failed. In "Always Two There Are", the Fifth Brother and the Seventh Sister attack Ezra, Sabine, Zeb, and Chopper during their visit to an old base that was used during the Clone Wars. In "Twilight of the Apprentice", the Fifth Brother accompanies the Seventh Sister and the Eighth Brother as they follow Ezra, Kanan, and Ahsoka to Malachor. He is later killed by Maul.

The Seventh Sister

The Seventh Sister (voiced by Sarah Michelle Gellar) is a Mirialan Inquisitor in a metal mask that covers her entire face-though the faceplate can be retracted-and the partner of the Fifth Brother, accompanied by miniature Probe Droids. She first appeared in "Always Two There Are", acting on her own to capture the crew of the Ghost with The Fifth Brother assisting her. In "Twilight of the Apprentice", the Seventh Sister accompanies the Fifth Brother and the Eighth Brother as they follow Ezra, Kanan, and Ahsoka to Malachor. She is later sliced in half by Maul.

The Eighth Brother

The Eighth Brother (voiced by Robbie Daymond) is the fourth Inquisitor introduced in the series, a masked Terellian Jango Jumper who trailed the former Sith Lord Darth Maul to the planet Malachor. After briefly engaging Ahsoka and Kanan he was captured but managed to signal the Fifth Brother and Seventh Sister, who came to his aid only for all three to be driven off when Maul teamed up with the Jedi. The three later attacked the Jedi and Maul again during their bid to reach the top of a Sith temple containing a Holocron that would activate its superweapon mode, with the Eighth Brother demonstrating a new saw feature built into the Inquisitor lightsaber. However, the Eighth Brother's lightsaber was damaged during his battle with Kanan. He attempted to escape by spinning the lightsaber blades like helicopter rotors, but it failed and he fell to his death on the surface far below.

Though she left the Jedi Order, she still commands the Force and carries a pair of white lightsabers. Her rebel cell—Phoenix Squadron—is nearly extinguished by Darth Vader in "The Siege of Lothal"; whereafter she and her remaining followers join the Ghost. In "Shroud of Darkness", she is forced to accept Darth Vader is her corrupted former master. In "Twilight of the Apprentice", Ahsoka takes Ezra and Kanan to Malachor to search for Sith knowledge. She later sacrifices herself to buy Ezra and Kanan some time to get away from Darth Vader, forcing him to fight her as a temple collapses on top of them. She is last seen descending into the temple after its collapse, leaving her fate ambiguous.

Mon Mothma

Mon Mothma (voiced by Genevieve O'Reilly) is the former Senator of Chandrila in the Republic and later Imperial Senates. In "Secret Cargo" she defects from the Empire and is pursued by Imperial forces with the Ghost crew and Gold Squadron providing an escort as she formally gathers the Rebel Alliance at Dantooine. She later speaks with Ezra in "Zero Hour" in which she informs him that they are unable to send reinforcements to Atollon, as doing so would play into Grand Admiral Thrawn's hands.

Ezra and Chopper met Hondo in Brothers of the Broken Horn when they answered his distress signal and learned he had won Cikatro Vizago's ship. Following a fight with Azmorigan, Ezra learned that Hondo actually took over Vizago's ship and locked him up aboard it. After Vizago is freed, Hondo escaped from Vizago's ship only to fly back to the Ghost. Hondo allows the crew of the Ghost to keep the generators that Commander Sato needed and takes his leave.

He reappeared in Legends of Lasat where he gave intel to the crew of the Ghost on where to find other Lasat survivors, halfway through the episode he was captured by the Empire.

In "Steps into Shadow," Ezra, Sabine, Zeb and Chooper rescue him from an Imperial prison in exchange for information on where the Rebellion can steal Y-wings. He joins them on the mission, but escapes midway by stolen Imperial shuttle with a new crew of Ugnaughts.

Hondo later returns in The Wynkahthu Job having formed an alliance with Azmorigan, with the two of them attacking an Imperial cargo ship only to have it become caught in the storms of a nearby planet, forcing them to call upon the Ghost crew for help.

After discovering that the Protectors of Concord Dawn had allowed rebel ships to pass through their system, he led a squad in annihilating them in order to lure Fenn Rau back to the system. Upon confronting Sabine Wren, he informed her that her family had sided with him and the Empire, but was defeated in battle by her. Saxon would later offer her mother Ursa Wren Sabine's safety in exchange for turning over Kanan and Ezra, only to go back on his word and attempt to wipe out Clan Wren. Having acquired the Darksaber from Ursa, he engaged Sabine in a duel and was defeated; Ursa then shot and killed him after he attempted to shoot Sabine in the back.

Ursa Wren

Countess Ursa Wren (voiced by Sharmila Devar) is Sabine Wren's mother and the current leader of Clan Wren. A former member of the Mandalorian group known as Death Watch, she was later forced to side with the Empire after Sabine created a weapon that the Empire then turned on their own people. Sabine, Kanan, and Ezra travel to her system to straighten things out with her, although she dislikes having Jedi in her headquarters. Concerned primarily with the safety of her family and clan, she made a deal with Gar Saxon in which she will hand over Kanan and Ezra if he promises to leave Sabine alone, only to be betrayed. Ursa would then kill Gar Saxon after he was defeated by Sabine and attempted to shoot her in the back, and then lead Clan Wren in the ensuing Mandalorian Civil War.

Tristan Wren

Tristan Wren (voiced by Ritesh Rajan) is Sabine's brother and the son of Ursa Wren. After Sabine was thought to have betrayed the people of Mandalore, their father was made a captive of Gar Saxon's regime. Seeking to preserve his father's life and restore some measure of standing to Clan Wren, Tristan joined the Imperial Super Commandos, an all Mandalorian Imperial unit under Gar Saxon's command. However, he would later side with his family when Gar Saxon threatened to wipe them out, and later joined Sabine in going to the aid of the rebels on Atollon when Thrawn attacked the planet.

Recurring civilians

Lothal citizens

Other civilians

The Presence

The Presence (voiced by Nika Futterman) is housed inside a Sith Holocron used to gain access to an Ancient Sith Temple found on Malachor. The voice of the holocron tries to convince Ezra to use the Temple to gain absolute power to use against his enemies. During Ahsoka's battle with Vader, Kanan and Ezra work together to remove the holocron from its base, destabilizing the entire temple in the process as the collected energy releases explosively and collapses the structure. Ezra later opens the Holocron and learns dark side secrets from the Presence, before the Holocron is taken by Kanan and entrusted to the Bendu. Ezra and Kanan later recover it and brought it to a meeting with Maul. The merging of this Holocron and Kanan's Jedi Holocron allow Ezra and Maul to see a vision, but the encounter is disrupted, causing both Holocrons to shatter and presumably destroying the Presence.

The Bendu

The Bendu (voiced by Tom Baker) – Bendu debuted in the season 3 episode, "Steps Into Shadow". Bendu was a Force-sensitive individual who resided on the remote planet of Atollon and represented the "center" of the Force, between the light side and the dark side. "Jedi and Sith wield the Ashla and Bogan. The light and the dark. I'm the one in the middle. The Bendu..." stated Bendu. The term "Bendu" first appears in the original script for Star Wars as the name of the Jedi Knights, the "Jedi-Bendu".[37][38][39][40] In his first appearance, he teaches Kanan how to get along with the spiders that roam the planet without sight and the Sith Holocron is entrusted to him afterwards. In "The Holocrons of Fate", Ezra and Kanan return to retrieve it from him in order to save their friends from Darth Maul, in which he warns them that combining the Sith and Jedi Holocrons is dangerous. In the two-part episode "Zero Hour", Bendu tells Kanan that he will not help him upon Grand Admiral Thrawn bringing war to Atollon since he is neutral. He later creates a storm to attack the Imperials and Rebels to force them off the planet, which buys the Ghost crew some time to get away, before he is shot down by AT-AT fire. Before he disappears while being shot at by Grand Admiral Thrawn, he predicts that Grand Admiral Thrawn will be defeated in one of his upcoming fights with the Rebel Alliance.

Star Wars alumni

Outside of the known members of the Galactic Empire, the following Star Wars characters appear in this show:

Obi-Wan Kenobi

Obi-Wan Kenobi (voiced by James Arnold Taylor as a young man, Stephen Stanton impersonating Alec Guinness as an old man) is a former General of the Clone Wars and the original Jedi Master of Darth Vader. A younger version of Obi-Wan broadcasts a holographic message declaring the fall of the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order after Order 66 while warning any surviving Jedi to lay low. Kenobi broadcasts this warning off-screen in Revenge of the Sith, but it is shown in the first episode of Rebels. A holocron bearing Kenobi's message is among Kanan's possessions. Getting the holocron to work is used by Kanan as a test for Ezra's Force potential in "Spark of Rebellion". In the episode "Holocrons of Fate" while Ezra is studying the Holocrons to determine how to destroy the Sith, Maul sees in the Holocrons that Obi-Wan survived the Jedi Purge and escaped.

In the episode "Visions and Voices", Maul and Ezra both discover that Obi-Wan Kenobi is in hiding on a desert planet with twin suns. In "Twin Suns", Maul has traveled to Tatooine with hopes of killing Obi-Wan, luring Ezra to the planet in an attempt to draw out Obi-Wan. After rescuing Ezra from the planet's harsh desert conditions, Obi-Wan Kenobi gives the young rebel advice regarding his true mission. Obi-Wan then guides Ezra off the planet before engaging and killing Maul in a duel. Before Maul dies, Obi-Wan confirms to him that his purpose on Tatooine is to protect the "Chosen One". The threat now eliminated, Obi-Wan continues his secret mission of watching over a young Luke Skywalker (the biological son of Darth Vader) whom he believes to be the "Chosen One" that will bring balance to the Force and defeat the Sith.[41]

R2-D2 & C-3PO

R2-D2 (voiced by "Himself") is an astromech droid and C-3PO (voiced by Anthony Daniels) is a protocol droid built by Anakin Skywalker. During the series, both droids are owned by Bail Organa who has tasked R2-D2 with secret missions to undermine Imperial activities. Prior to the rise of the Empire, both droids were owned by the deceased close friend of Bail Organa, Padmé Amidala.

Lando Calrissian

Lando Calrissian (voiced by Billy Dee Williams) is a gambling smuggler who wins Chopper in a game of Sabacc against Zeb. He returns him when the Ghost crew smuggled him and his puffer pig past the Imperial blockade. Lando later aids the Ghost crew in their escape from Darth Vader's forces on Lothal in exchange for stolen Imperial goods.

Yoda

Yoda (voiced by Frank Oz) is the 900 year old Jedi Master, who went into exile on Dagobah following the Jedi Purge. He appears only as a disembodied voice in "Path of the Jedi" where he guides Ezra through the Jedi Temple. In "Shroud of Darkness," Yoda appears before Ezra in a vision of a starfield and instructs him to find Malachor.

Filoni stated: "I felt personally to keep Yoda as this disembodied thing it would confuse the audience less. I didn't want you to think Yoda could be teleporting from planet to planet".

Princess Leia Organa

Princess Leia Organa (voiced by Julie Dolan) is the princess of the planet Alderaan, Bail Organa's adopted daughter, and (unbeknownst to both herself and the majority of the galaxy) Darth Vader's biological daughter.

Filoni stated: "One of the complex challenges of depicting Leia in Rebels is that we have to remind the audience that at this point she is part of the Empire. She doesn’t believe in the Empire, but she is acting the part, almost a double agent."[42]

Maul

Maul (voiced by Sam Witwer) is a former Sith Lord and apprentice to Emperor Palpatine, having lost his position when Obi-Wan Kenobi defeated him on Naboo, Maul resurfaced during the Clone Wars and attempted to set up a criminal empire before Palpatine personally dealt with him. Ending up on the run, his race no more with the Night Sisters' slaughter by the Separatists, Maul ends up on the planet Malachor where he meets Ezra while seeking an underground Sith temple.[43] Despite having a mutual enemy in the Inquistors, killing the Fifth Brother and the Seventh Sister, Maul reveals his true intentions and desire to take Ezra as an apprentice. After Maul blinds Kanan during the resulting scuffle, he ultimately escapes Malachor in one of the Inquisitors' TIE Fighters after the temple is destroyed.

He would later return in the third season to claim both the Jedi and Sith Holocrons to peer into the future, escaping once more with only an faint image of one person he had assumed dead: Obi-Wan.

After talking Ezra into a using a Nightsister ritual to access the other's mind for the rest of the vision in "Visions and Voices," Maul's only clue of finding Obi-Wan is on a desert planet with twin suns. Although he succeeds in finding his old rival, he is ultimately cut down after a short duel. Maul dies after learning Obi-Wan is protecting "the Chosen One", stating that "he will avenge us".

Wedge Antilles

Wedge Antilles (voiced by Nathan Kress) is a Rebel pilot who appears throughout the original film trilogy.

He encounters an undercover Sabine at the Imperial Pilot Academy and later defects along with his friend Hobbie to the Rebel Alliance.

Saw Gerrera

Saw Gerrera (voiced by Forest Whitaker) is the leader of the Onderon rebels and helped lead the resistance movement to victory over the Confederacy of Independent Systems on the planet Onderon alongside the Jedi Ahsoka Tano, Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi and Clone Capitan Rex.

In the two-part episode "Ghosts of Geonosis", Saw is sent with a squad to Geonosis by the Rebellion. He is rescued by the Ghost crew after they lost contact with him and his team.
