Star Wars Rebels Dave Filoni Talks About The Relevance Of The Loth-Wolves


Star Wars Rebels has given more prominence to the mysterious Force-sensitive loth-wolves in the Star Wars series' fourth and final season on Disney XD. Not only did the wolves save Ezra and Sabine's life during the start of the season, but they've also helped Kanan on his mission as well.

Now, as the series prepares to return from its midseason break, producer Dave Filoni has decided to talk a little bit more about the Loth-Wolves.

Sitting down to speak in an interview with Nerdist, Filoni admits that he has a personal reason for featuring the wolves in the series.

"One of my purposes was having wolves as the avatar for this Force type character was to give kids another positive image of a wolf. There are so many negatives around the wolf," the producer explained. "So this is just another positive, I hope, representation of the animal while still respecting that there is a duality there, as all things in nature have."

Filoni also promises that there's more to the loth-wolves, saying that "more will be revealed as the series goes on.

"More will be revealed about that as we go. I think the key for me with the wolves is that they are something that is to be respected, and they can be dangerous or they can be beneficial, and our heroes have to figure out what that means," Filoni revealed. "But I think given the power of them, as an animal and an archetype, there needs to be a feeling of respect and a feeling of thought behind them."

We wonder what Filoni has in store for the Ghost crew and the Loth wolves during the second half of the fourth season of Rebels. Everything's going to come together soon enough.

Star Wars Rebels is set to return for its final set of episodes on February 24, 2018.
