“It was such an honor to be involved in the 10th anniversary for Rebels. Having recently revisited the adventures of the Spectres in preparation for Ahsoka, this opportunity was perfect timing,” Wijngaard tells StarWars.com. “We’ve been absolutely spoiled with Rebels content these last few weeks and I’m glad I could be a part of it in some way.”

Star Wars Rebels told the story of the Ghost crew — a small band of rebels including pilot Hera Syndulla, Jedi-in-hiding Kanan Jarrus, Mandalorian warrior and artist Sabine Wren, the big and big-hearted Lasat named Zeb Orrelios, grump astromech Chopper, and orphan-turned-Padawan Ezra Bridger — as they fought the tyranny of the Empire. Our heroes would encounter the Grand Inquisitor, Darth Vader, and Grand Admiral Thrawn, and become allies with Ahsoka Tano. Star Wars Rebels built a devoted following, and its story continues today in Ahsoka, now streaming on Disney+.
