Dave Filoni Teases The Return of A Major Mandalorian in Star Wars Rebels


With the departure of one certain Mandalorian in Star Wars Rebels comes the possibility of the return of another.

Though the Ghost Crew lost their Mandalorian warrior because of her decision to stay in Mandalore to help free her planet and her father, Sabine's words to Fenn Rau at the end of the Mandalorian arc inStar Wars Rebels open the possibility of the return of another popular Mandalorian from The Clone Wars, Bo-Katan kryze. Now, the series showrunner Dave Filoni teases in an interview with Comicbook the return of the sister of Obi-Wan's former love interest, Satine Kryze.

"Yeah, possibly. I don't know why they would [be thinking about Bo-Katan]," he said with a laugh. "But yeah, it's great. What's fun for me is that a lot of these references, and even these situations, they all stem from characters that have been created on our animated series, both Clone Wars and Rebels. The fan-base really surprises me more and more as they are so aware of it all."

Filoni also praised fans, saying:

"As those kids that watched Clone Wars have grown up, they have a really vast vocabulary and knowledge of that show. It being on Netflix hasn't hurt it at all either that way. So Bo-Katan, it's probably more a foreign character to the older fans, but it definitely speaks to a lot of groups of younger fans of people that are into Star Wars," said Filoni.

For those who aren't familiar with Bo-Katan, the character is a Mandalorian from Star Wars: The Clone Wars, a warrior with ties to Mandalore's ruling families and with natural leadership skills. It isn't uncommon for the Star Wars franchise to have popular characters make a return – remember Saw Gerrera who made it to Rogue One and Rebels? Bo-Katan has a chance of returning as well.

Star Wars Rebels season 3 airs every Saturday on Disney XD at 8:30 pm ET/PT.
