Welcome to our newest Star Wars Rebels character, Kanan.
Executive producer Dave Filoni describes Kanan as a “cowboy Jedi.” And unlike the stoic knights of his order in the Star Wars mythos, his banter is as sharp as his blue lightsaber strokes.
There is some melancholy, too. Kanan lived through the attempted extinction of an entire culture when Order 66 came down during his formative years, and he’s massively affected by it, says Prinze.
“He definitely has seen more than what a young man should see. And what he had to see was pretty much the worst thing you would have to witness.”
