StarWars animated series like The Clone Wars and Rebels have an undeniable influence on the Disney+ TV shows like TheMandalorian that makes them better.
I’m pretty nerdy about a lot of things: turntables, vinyl records, barbecue, Game of Thrones, and yes, Star Wars. To a fault, I can be hard to shut up once my string is pulled, and lately, much of my blathering has been focused around a couple of Star Wars TV series — The Mandalorian and the upcoming Ahsoka, the latter of which I am super-excited for. But I’ve had a few conversations about these shows with friends recently that have been driving me nuts.
After 14 years in hiding, avoiding Vader’s inquisitors, and coming to terms with Anakin’s turning, Ahsoka would emerge to make her appearance on Star Wars: Rebels, which takes place in the five years leading up to Star Wars: A New Hope. Ahsoka, no longer aligned with the Jedi ways , gets involved with the burgeoning Rebel Alliance, more specifically the Rebel cell known as the Ghost Team that the show centers on.
The onetime-princess of Mandalore, former member of the extremist group Death Watch , and for a time, the wielder of the legendary Darksaber, Bo-Katan has a history that is dark and winding. With a proud warrior family name, she believed in the traditional fighting ways of the Mandalorian, while her sister, and Mandalorian ruler, Duchess Satine Kryze, favored a more pacifist way forward.
After Order 66, the Jedi run for their lives, and the Emperor , knowing he’ll never be able to rein in Mandalore, orders its destruction in what would later become The Great Purge of Mandalore, aka The Night of a Thousand Tears. The surface of the planet was carpeted with fusion bombs, cities were destroyed, the beskar mines and the Great Forge laid to ruin, and the Mandalorian people scattered throughout the galaxy.
The Ghost Team Now we’re getting deeper into Star Wars: Rebels territory, which will help lay some groundwork for the upcoming Ahsoka Tano series. Rebels starts to show the building blocks of the Rebel Alliance, with many small cells acting independently to fight the Empire. Rebels follows one of those cells, known as the Ghost Team, which was named after their ship.
Ezra’s abilities to communicate with the strange, whale-like creatures known as the Purrgil would prove instrumental, as the young Jedi called on them for help, and in the process Ezra and Thrawn were jettisoned across the galaxy in hyperspace, seemingly lost forever. Thrawn and Ezra’s whereabouts is one of the biggest burning questions of the Rebels series.
