Saw Gerrera to Make his Debut on Star Wars: Rebels!

A new poster found on Toys R Us reveal what we all have been expecting. Rebels extremist Saw Gerrera will make his debut on the third season of Star Wars: Rebels, making the connection between Rebels and Rogue One even more seamless. Read on for the details…

 

 

Twitter member Rebels Reactions uncovered the following cool Rebels poster in one of the Toys R Us stores in the US (via Nick Vargas):

 


 

Saw Gerrera, who first appeared in The Clone Wars, has a cruscial role in the new live action Star Wars spin-off movie. The inclusion of the Ghost ship during the battle over Scarif in Rogue One suggested that there will be a much bigger connection between the animation TV series and Rogue One, especially considering the time span when they both take place.

 

We can’t wait to see what other connections we will get between these two.

    Ghost can also be seen on Yavin IV when they are leaving for Jedha. Overhead shot on the upper left. General Syndulla was also paged to the briefing room on Yavin IV.

      Could be Hera or her dad.

      Chopper’s there, too – you can see him just before the radio controller tells Mon Mothma about the Scarif operation. The droid’s presence suggests that the Syndulla there is most likely Hera.

        Excellent catch. Look forward to seeing him on my next viewing!

    Saw was the one of the more interesting characters in Rogue One. Dude’s been in the shit. Has the thousand yard stare and all. Would like to see much more of him and his merry band of aliens in some kind of future spin-off movie.

    Well. Looks like we have another Clone Wars character returning to making yet another appearance in Rebels pre-Rogue One; very exciting. ^_^

    He’s got like 2 years to grow that hair out to look like Rogue One version, right? I know it’s stylized in the fact he doesn’t have blue eyes in R1

    shouldnt he look older?

      he must have gone grey overnight. 😉

      Rebels is still two years behind Rogue One in the canonical chronology.

        So it’s several years ahead of the Saw we saw in the flashback at the start of the movie where he looks 20 years older and 40 pounds heavier than he does in this design.

    Not surprising but most welcome. How long before Rogue One characters like Cassian Andor make an appearance?

      I expect the rebel cell they team up with on Geonosis is Saw’s. He will probably do something terrible and get kicked out of the rebellion to set up his appearance in Rogue One.

    Is into me or did anyone else not understand what the hell Saw was saying in Rogue One?

      Saw was just spouting herobabble. “You will bring us together” “Only you can save us” bla bla fuckin’ bla. If I’m wrong, I’m sorry, but I tuned out around that point.

      (I was also recovering from a… certain scene featuring Saw’s troops and the Imperial convoy.)

      He definitely had a strong accent. When he said “Liar!” it was hard to make out.

    doesn’t look much like forrest or the clone wars version, but i don’t care. that’s a totally badass design.

    I expect Cassian to make an appearance

    I hoped this to happen before Rogue One came out.certainly bridges the two versions of Saw, but Forrest still hasn’t got green eyes…

      Blue —> green —> brown, maybe? Green is essentially partway between blue and brown when it comes to the amount of pigmentation from what I understand, so I think it makes sense.

        Stylized animation takes liberties. These aren’t straight renders of actors heads. Look at how the Vader helmet is shaped on there.

          Shapes are different from colors. Saw goes from bright blue yes to somewhat green eyes, to brown eyes.

        uh, he hadgreen eyes in Clone Wars… well, acqua-green…

          Wookieepedia has it as blue, but I see what you’re saying. Taking another look at him in TCW, the Rebels one is actually pretty close to that.

            yeah well the rebels one bridges between the TCW and the R1 versions, sure. but still they could’ve given green/blue contact lenses to whittaker…

            For sure, I don’t know why they didn’t.

      Saw was wearing stylized contacts when he was younger, b/c that was the current trend. He discarded them as he became consumed with war.

      Not really, but see how easy that was?

        XD yeah.

    This is great, I’m excited for this. His character was very interesting in Rogue One, and left me wanting to see more. I’m also digging the look, it’s kind of like a blend between his appearances in TCW and Rogue One

    Still didn’t buy Forrest as Saw. Not a knock on his acting, He just looks like the character less than I do even while young. He should have been an original one imo.

      I really hated that arc in TCW though so I’m probably biased.

        Yeah you probably are.
