Crew of the Ghost

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. He arms himself with an energy slingshot. 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. In the second-season episode "Legacy", he discovers the fate of his parents. In Twilight of the Apprentice Ezra is drawn towards the dark side by the former Sith Lord Maul, something that has been feared by his master Kanan for some time, his first ligthsaber is also destroyed by Darth Vader. In the season 3 premiere episode Steps into Shadow; Ezra replaces it, with a green bladed lightsaber, similar to the one used by Luke Skywalker in Return of the Jedi. 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 blindness preventing him from fully assuming the role. The episodes Shroud of Darkness and Holocrons of Fate reveal, Ezra's main motivation is in his own words, is to "find the key to destroying the Sith".

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."^[2]

Kanan Jarrus

Kanan Jarrus (voiced by Freddie Prinze, Jr.), whose real name is Caleb Dume. The episode Legacy, reveals 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 who is the Jedi Padawan student of Jedi Master Depa Billaba, until the Order 66 made the clone troopers, betray and kill the Jedi Order, killing Kanan's Master in the process, leaving him as one of the few Jedi survivors.^[3] 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^[4] which also explains how he meet Hera Syndula a few years before the events in Rebels. Armed with a two-piece dual-phase lightsaber and DL-18 blaster. 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 difficult to trust in Captain Rex, due to having experienced Order 66.^[5] 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 planet Malachor, Kanan is blinded by Maul, while still part of the missions, his blindness forces him 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."^[6] After being blinded, Kanan has been compared to the Star Wars Legends character Ram Khota from Star Wars: The Force Unleashed because Ram was also a Jedi who got blinded,^[7] which led Pablo Hidalgo from the Star Wars story group to say on Twitter, that both characters were inspired by Zaitochi.^[8]

Hera Syndulla

Hera Syndulla (voiced by Vanessa Marshall) is a Twi'lek 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.

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".^[9] She is the daughter of Cham Syndulla, who appeared in Star Wars: The Clone Wars.^[10]

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 mom is sided with the Empire, although her identity remains unknown.^[11] The episode The Antilles Extraction reveals she was the one who helped pilot Wedge Antilles defect from the Empire and join the Rebellion.^[12]

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."^[13]

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 massacre at the hands of Agent Kallus. 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. 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".^[14]

Chopper

C1-10P ("Chopper") (voiced by "Himself") is an irritable and irascible astromech droid built and owned by Hera, who recovered it after "Chopper" crashed on Ryloth during the Clone Wars.

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".^[15]

Recurring characters

The Galactic Empire

The following are members of the Galactic Empire:

High-ranking members

• Emperor Palpatine (voiced by Sam Witwer) - The Emperor of the Galactic Empire and Darth Vader's Sith Master.^[16] 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 (voiced by James Earl Jones as Darth Vader, Matt Lanter as Anakin Skywalker) - 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."^[17][18] 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. The hero of the Clone Wars, Anakin Skywalker is Ahsoka's former Jedi master, and the true identity of Darth Vader. In "Shroud of Darkness," he appears as his former self 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 (voiced by Lars Mikkelsen) - 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 1990's 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,^[19] as well as a new stand-alone novel titled Thrawn that is slated to be released in 2017.^[20] 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.^[21]

Imperial Government

• Grand Moff Tarkin (voiced by Stephen Stanton) - 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 (voiced by Brent Spiner) - An exiled Senator who has the courage to speak out publicly against the Empire^[22] 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 (voiced by Kath Soucie) - A Lothal native and 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.
• Arihnda Pryce (voiced by Mary Elizabeth McGlynn) - The Governor of Lothal. She first appears in Season 3. After repeated successes by the rebels against the Empire, Pryce was summoned by Grand Moff Wilhuff 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.

Imperial Military

• Agent Kallus (voiced by David Oyelowo) - A 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 was present when the Empire massacred the Lasat homeworld of Lasan (Zeb's species) and even personally gave 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, and was the sole survivor of his unit. Despite his dislike 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.^[23][24] Kallus was the one who set up Minister Maketh Tua's murder on Vader's orders by rigging her shuttle to explode. After he and Zeb crash-land on an icy moon, they are forced to work together to survive until they are rescued, leading Kallus to develop a friendship with Zeb and beginning to side 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 was revealed to be Fulcrum.
• Cumberlayne Aresko and Myles Grint (both voiced by David Shaughnessy) - An Imperial Commandant and Taskmaster respectively that are stationed on the planet Lothal. In "Call to Action", the Grand Inquisitor beheaded them off-screen under the orders of Grand Moff Tarkin, for their persistent failures to capture the Lothal rebels.^[25]
• Admiral Kassius Konstantine (voiced by Dee Bradley Baker) - A dismissive Imperial Navy officer in charge of the Imperial blockade on Lothal and later assisting in the Empire's rebellion pursuit in Season 2.

• Yogar Lyste (voiced by Liam O'Brien) - An Imperial officer stationed on Lothal as Imperial Supply Master of Capital City. In Season 2, he is promoted Lieutenant. In Season 3, he is under Thrawn's orders when he comes on Lothal^[25]

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.^[26]

• The Grand Inquisitor (voiced by Jason Isaacs) - 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 (voiced by Philip Anthony-Rodriguez) - An Inquisitor of an unknown species and the partner of the Seventh Sister. 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 (voiced by Sarah Michelle Gellar) - 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 killed by Maul.
• The Eighth Brother (voiced by Robbie Daymond) - 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 seen stumbling through the ruins of the temple after the collapse.
• Senator Bail Organa (voiced by Phil LaMarr) - The Senator of planet Alderaan and the current owner of C-3PO and R2-D2, and secretly one of the leaders organizing the Rebel Alliance.

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."^[27]
• Wedge Antilles (voiced by Nathan Kress) - A Rebel pilot who would go on to help destroy Death Star I, fight in the Battle of Hoth, and help destroy the Death Star II.

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.

• Obi-Wan Kenobi (voiced by James Arnold Taylor) - Darth Vader's former Jedi Master who broadcasts a message declaring the fall of the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order after Order 66 while warning any surviving Jedi to lay low.

He ultimately escapes Malachor in one of the Inquisitors' TIE Fighters after the temple is destroyed.
• The Presence (voiced by Nika Futterman) - The Presence is housed inside a Sith Holocron used to gain access to an Ancient Sith Temple found on Malachor.
