After the ending of
Star Wars Rebels, fans have been wondering about the fates of many characters from the series. While there was a definitive ending, the show also set up future stories as Sabine Wren and Ahsoka Tano set off to find the missing Ezra Bridger many years in the future, after the events of
Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. The voice actors behind Ezra and Sabine recently revealed that they are hopeful that they'll be returning to the galaxy far, far away.
Speaking with Hidden Remote, Taylor Gray (Ezra) looked back at some of his favorite moments, while also sharing his thoughts on Ezra's fate. And like fans of the show, Gray is also keeping his fingers crossed for the character to return.
I think it was a great sacrificial ending and it wrapped up the story; Lothal is safe and Ezra became whole as a Jedi and learned the way of the Jedi through selflessness. I have high hopes for him to return – he’s grown into a formidable Jedi and we know he’s out there somewhere amongst the Purrgil in deep space.
Ezra's displacement is one of the burning questions the finale left us with, and with EP Dave Filoni confiming that both Ezra and Thrawn survived their jump into hyperspace, it seems like an easy springboard to launch another animated Star Wars series, which Filoni has also hinted at.
A similarly obvious springboard would be a show centred around Sabine and Ahsoka's mission to find their lost friend, which Sabine's voice actor is certainly on-board for. Whist taking part in an "Ask Me Anything" thread on Reddit; Tiya Sircar (Sabine), gave her thoughts on the finale and the posibilty of a show lead by two out of three of Rebels' badass female heroes:
I was so intrigued by that ending! I have no idea what's in store for Sabine but man, I would love it if we got to see her and Ahsoka fulfill their mission to find Ezra. How cool to have a series led by two kick-ass female warriors on a mission to find and rescue their friend?!
What are you thoughts on the actors' comments? Would you like to see their characters return to the Star Wars universe? If so, in what way?
