When Star Wars Rebels debuted in 2014, it quietly launched a new era of Star Wars canon. While The Force Awakens would continue the mainline saga after Return of the Jedi, the aim of Rebels was to tell new stories well after The Clone Wars and before A New Hope. These days, that time period is fairly crowded (Solo, Andor, et al.), but at the time, the Rebellion’s early heroes were brand new. Many of the Rebels crew have appeared in live-action since then, most notably in Ahsoka Season 1. And now, after making a brief live-action debut in The Mandalorian Season 3, one fan-favorite Rebels character is finally getting to kick ass the way we always imagined.
The first full scene from The Mandalorian and Grogu has been released, and regardless of what the fandom thinks of it as a whole, it does show us what Zeb will look like in the movie. If you’re a fan of Rebels, this is a huge win. Here’s why.
