Behold, Star Wars Rebels: The Visual Guide (2014).

Lo, the early evidence of our ship on a page dedicated to Sabine Wren and her brightly colored designs (which includes her colorful hair and armor).

Note that Sabine thinks of Zeb as a brother, not Ezra. In the first season of Rebels, Sabine was aware of Ezra’s crush on her, but she deliberately chose to ignore his awkward attraction to her. Could it be his lack of maturity? Clearly, she knew that he did not think of her as a sister. 😏

This volume is based on season 1 of Rebels, and it describes Ezra as “almost 15” and gives Sabine’s age as 16 years old. They both had a lot of growing up to do before an “awkward attraction” could grow into something more.

Ezra is described as a “lone wolf.” Do you know who else described himself as being at least part wolf?

I present to you the creator himself, Dave Filoni, pictured here with his wife, who likes to dye her hair bright colors. (Who else likes to do that?). 👀

It is no secret that Luke Skywalker is George Lucas’s alter-ego in the Star Wars universe.

And you should also note that cameos aren’t the same thing as alter egos.

I have presented some evidence that Ezra Bridger just might be Dave Filoni’s Star Wars alter-ego.

The real question is, does the hero get the girl this time?

It’s fun to speculate, isn’t it?

Dank Ferrik!

Trapper Wolf wears the Wolfpack emblem on his helmet.

I didn’t notice this when I was watching The Mandalorian; I just scrolled past the information in Wookiepedia, and then had to go check for myself, and there it is:

Now, I know this is probably something like “Dave Filoni loves wolves, he’s playing Trapper Wolf, Wolfpack callback, yeah put it on the helmet,” and maybe even in-universe it was something like this Rebel pilot finding the emblem and thinking “Oh that looks cool and matches my name,” and maybe someone else knows more and could tell me, but.

Where did Wolf come across it? Did he know them? Did the Wolfpack save someone who memorized their emblem and passed it along? Did Rex tell his brothers’ stories while he was with the Rebellion? Are other squads or troopers memorialized elsewhere, like Numa wearing clone armor with Boil’s name on it?

I’m living for the idea that the clones have legacies like this.

That their names and symbols--the ones they created--their stories and memories, could have been inspiring and are still around even post-Rebellion and not something that was swallowed by the Empire and its stormtroopers.
