Main characters

A 14-year-old human street urchin and con-artist with Force abilities, whose parents were imprisoned by Imperial forces. He arms himself with an energy slingshot and later a lightsaber with a built-in stun blaster, though the latter is eventually destroyed by Darth Vader. On his character, Gray stated: "He's a pickpocket, he's a little thief. But he's doing it all because he needs to survive". Executive producer Greg Weisman said: "We see this whole series very much through Ezra's eyes. As his eyes get opened to what the Empire's capable of, his eyes are opened to the fact that there are people who care, who are trying to fight the good fight, and he becomes one of them."[1] In the second season episode "Legacy", he discovers the fate of his parents. In "Twilight of the Apprentice" Ezra is drawn towards the dark side by the former Sith Lord Maul, something that has been feared by his master Kanan for some time.
A human Jedi survivor of Order 66, former student of Depa Billaba, and the de facto leader of the Ghost crew, armed with a two-piece dual-phase lightsaber and DL-18 blaster. His real name is Caleb Dume. Executive producer Dave Filoni describes the character as a "cowboy Jedi". Animation supervisor Keith Kellogg said: "He is a Jedi but he's not a Jedi in the traditional sense that we've had before on the show. He's a little more rough around the edges. He's kept his lightsaber locked away, so he hasn't used it in a long time."[2] In "Legacy", it is revealed that Kanan never knew his parents. In "Shroud of Darkness", Kanan was promoted to the rank of Jedi Knight. In "Twilight of the Apprentice", Kanan is blinded in a battle with Maul on the planet Malachor.
The Twi'lek owner and pilot of the Ghost. Filoni said: "She is a very strong-minded character, kind of the heart of the group, keeps everyone together when they would otherwise fall apart".[3] She is the daughter of Cham Syndulla, who appeared in Star Wars: The Clone Wars.[4] She and Kanan share a strong connection. In "Wings of the Master", Hera was promoted to Captain of the Phoenix Squadron by Kanan's recommendation.
A 16-year-old Mandalorian graffiti artist, Imperial Academy dropout and former bounty hunter with expert knowledge of weapons and explosives. CG supervisor of lighting and FX Joel Aron said, "She's adding something that we haven't really seen before in the Star Wars universe. You have a character that is expressively creative through art—whether it's the color of her hair or what she's done to her armor." In "The Protector of Concord Dawn", she is revealed to come from House Visla, thus leading her to be related with Death Watch, a Mandalorian terrorist group in The Clone Wars.[5]
A Lasat honor guard, whose people were one of the first species to rise up against the Empire in its early days, which responded by massacre at the hands of Agent Kallus. This near-extinction has left him with a gruff demeanor, but he has remained loyal to the struggle against the Empire, eventually to discover that his fellow Lasat still exist as a culture, in the episode Legends of the Lasat. His physical appearance is based on Ralph McQuarrie's original conceptual artwork for Chewbacca. Art director Kilian Plunkett said: "Zeb actually is very articulate and witty and funny, and that's sort of juxtaposed with what he looks like, makes for an interesting character".[6]
  • C1-10P ("Chopper") as "Himself":
An irritable and irascible astromech droid built and owned by Hera, who recovered it after "Chopper" crashed on Ryloth during the Clone Wars. Choppers' design is heavily modeled on the original conceptual artwork for R2-D2. Describing the character, Filoni said, "He likes to do things the way that he wants, not necessarily the way the crew wants or as fast as the crew would like, but he gets the job done. He's incredibly loyal". Chopper is also summarized as, "If R2-D2 is your favorite dog, Chopper is the cat".[7]

Recurring characters

Antagonists

The Empire

Senior civil government and military high command
The Emperor of the Galactic Empire and Darth Vader's Sith Master.[8] After learning from Vader that Ahsoka Tano is among the rebel forces, Palpatine orders Vader to capture her, intending to use her to uncover more surviving Jedi.
The Imperial army's cyborg Sith commander and a former Jedi corrupted by Emperor Palpatine. He first appeared in the extended cold opening scene that was added to ABC's broadcast of Spark of Rebellion on October 26, 2014, where he orders the Grand Inquisitor through a communications hologram to hunt down the remaining Jedi and try to lure any Force-sensitive children they take as their Padawans. Filoni stated: "We wanted to do something special for the ABC broadcast. We've added a scene which gives audiences insight into the Inquisitor and includes a cameo by Darth Vader, voiced by the distinguished actor James Earl Jones."[9][10] Vader later appears in "Fire Across the Galaxy" where he appears before Grand Moff Tarkin and Agent Kallus sometime after the Grand Inquisitor's death. He appears in the Season 2 premiere movie The Siege of Lothal, after Tarkin requests assistance. Vader then wipes out most of the rebel cell in the Lothal system, injures half the Ghost crew, destroys Ezra's home and a community of displaced people on Lothal, and has Minister Tua murdered with the rebels blamed for the crime. After learning Ahsoka Tano - his former Jedi apprentice - is among the rebels, Vader is ordered by the Emperor to dispatch another Inquistor to go after her in hopes of using her to find the remaining Jedi. Ahsoka later learns of Vader's identity through a vision in a Jedi temple on Lothal, which Vader arrives at after it is claimed by the Inquisitors. He then journeys to Malachor and attempts to claim the ancient Sith weapon there, only to face Ahsoka in battle after claiming to have destroyed Anakin. He later emerges alone from the ruins.
Imperial Government
The Imperial Governor of the Outer Rim Territories, within which Lothal is located. When Kanan and his group become too powerful for Kallus and the Grand Inquisitor to control, he comes to Lothal to personally take charge, eventually bringing in Darth Vader after the Grand Inquisitor is killed.
An exiled Senator who has the courage to speak out publicly against the Empire[11] by occasionally hacking into holonet news broadcasts. In "Vision of Hope," it was revealed that he was actually in league with the Empire and he attempted to lure the Ghost crew into a trap. In the same episode, it was revealed that Gall Trayvis knew Ezra's parents.
A Lothal native and minister for the Galactic Empire. She was a graduate of the Imperial Academy. With Planetary Governor Pryce frequently absent conducting business on Coruscant itself, Minister Tua is in charge of the Imperial bureaucracy which runs the day-to-day government on Lothal. Her major tasks include the ongoing efforts to centralize commerce and production on the planet under Imperial control and promoting development of the planet's new TIE fighter factory, to meet the economic goals set by Tarkin's Five Year Plan. After Kanan's escape from Tarkin at Mustafar during the Season 1 finale, Minister Tua fears she will be blamed for failing to apprehend the other Lothal rebels and tries to defect to the Rebel forces. She is killed when Agent Kallus blows up her shuttle on the orders of Darth Vader, who then frames the Rebels for her death to turn the population of Lothal against them.
Imperial Military
A high-ranking agent of the Imperial Security Bureau and skilled rebel hunter serving under Darth Vader and working with the Inquisitors. More often than not, he is able to recognize rebel traps and set his own, which nearly succeed in capturing the Lothal rebels. Kallus was present when the Empire massacred the Lasat homeworld of Lasan (Zeb's species) and even personally gave the order to use soon-after banned disruptor weapons in the assault. It is later revealed that his hatred of Lasats stems from a harrowing encounter with a Lasat mercenary in his early ISB years, and was the sole survivor of his unit. Despite his dislike for the Lasats, Kallus respects them as warriors and bears a degree of remorse over the fact that genocide was used to conquer Lasan. He is also a highly trained hand-to-hand combatant and carries a rare Lasat bo-rifle which was given to him by a Lasat Honor Guard he defeated in single combat when their homeworld fell to the Galactic Empire.[12][13] Kallus becomes one of Vader's enforcers in Season 2 and was the one who set up Minister Maketh Tua's murder on Vader's orders by rigging her shuttle to explode.
An Imperial Commandant and Taskmaster, respectively, that are stationed on the planet Lothal. In "Call to Action", the Grand Inquisitor beheaded them off-screen under the orders of Grand Moff Tarkin, for their persistent failures to capture the Lothal rebels.[14]
An Imperial Navy officer in charge of the Imperial blockade on Lothal and later assisting in the Empire's rebellion pursuit.
An Imperial officer stationed on Lothal as Imperial Supply Master of Capital City.[14]
Imperial Inquisitors

The Imperial Inquisitors are Force-sensitive hunters of the Galactic Empire, who are sanctioned by and answer only to Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine. Highly skilled in assassination, espionage, interrogation and target acquisition, their task is to hunt down the remaining Jedi, as well as any children with Force potential. All of the Inquisitors are armed with gyroscopic double-bladed lightsabers, based on an unused concept from The Force Unleashed video game.[15]

A Pau'an Inquisitor. He first appeared in the extended cold opening of "Spark of Rebellion", where he is ordered by Darth Vader to hunt down any Jedi who survived Order 66 and try to either lure any Force-sensitive children the Jedi in question take as their Padawans to the dark side or destroy them if they refuse. The Grand Inquisitor saw the opportunity to do so when called by Agent Kallus to help him hunt down the rebels when Kanan is revealed to be a Jedi. After being defeated by Kanan in "Fire Across the Galaxy," he committed suicide by falling into an exploding reactor core; it is later stated by Dave Filoni that he did this because he was more afraid of facing Vader's punishment for his failure. As The Seventh Sister revealed in "Always Two There Are", the Grand Inquisitor's death has left an opening for the other Inquistors to compete with each other to take his place. In "Shroud of Darkness," it is revealed that he was once a member of the Temple Guard and thus, a fallen Jedi Knight, when his spirit appears to Kanan in the temple on Lothal. After testing Kanan and helping him realize that he cannot protect Ezra from everything, he reveals that he was a former Jedi and dubs Kanan a Jedi Knight before calling upon other illusory Temple Guards to delay the Fifth Brother and Seventh Sister in their pursuit of Kanan, Ezra, and Ahsoka.
An Inquisitor of an unknown species and the partner of the Seventh Sister. After "The Siege of Lothal", he is sent by Darth Vader under Emperor Palpatine's orders to hunt the rebels down after Ahsoka is discovered among them. He first appeared in "Relics of the Old Republic", where he meets with Admiral Konstantine telling him that he will finish the job that Admiral Konstantine and Agent Kallus had failed at. In "Always Two There Are", The Fifth Brother and The Seventh Sister attack Ezra, Sabine, Zeb, and Chopper during their visit to an old base that was used during the Clone Wars. In "Twilight of the Apprentice," the Fifth Brother later accompanies the Seventh Sister and the Eighth Brother into following Ezra, Kanan, and Ahsoka to Malachor. He is later killed by Maul.
A Mirialan Inquisitor in a metal mask that covers her entire face-though the faceplate can be retracted-and the partner of the Fifth Brother, accompanied by miniature Probe Droids. She first appeared in "Always Two There Are", acting on her own to capture the crew of the Ghost with The Fifth Brother assisting her. In "Twilight of the Apprentice," the Seventh Sister accompanies the Fifth Brother and the Eighth Brother into following Ezra, Kanan, and Ahsoka to Malachor. She is later killed by Maul.
The fourth Inquisitor introduced in the series, a masked Terellian Jango Jumper who trailed the former Sith Lord Darth Maul to the planet Malachor. After briefly engaging Ahsoka Tano and Kanan Jarrus, he was captured but managed to signal the Fifth Brother and Seventh Sister, who came to his aid only for all three to be driven off when Maul teamed up with the Jedi. The three later attacked the Jedi and Maul again during their bid to reach the top of a Sith temple with a Holocron that would activate its superweapon mode, with the Eight Brother demonstrating a new saw feature built into the Inquisitor lightsaber. However, the Eighth Brother's lightsaber was damaged during his battle with the Jedi. During his attempt to escape by using it like helicopter rotors, it failed and he fell to his apparent death.

Supporting

Alliance to Restore the Republic

Senior civil government and military high command
The Togruta Padawan of Anakin Skywalker. She appeared several times during Season 1 using the codename "Fulcrum", as a secret informant on Imperial activities and supplies. Her real identity was revealed to the Lothal rebels (and the audience) in the Season 1 finale "Fire Across the Galaxy". Though she left the Jedi Order, she still commands the Force and carries a pair of white lightsabers. Her rebel cell—Phoenix Squadron—is nearly extinguished by Darth Vader in "The Siege of Lothal"; whereafter she and her remaining followers join the Ghost. In "Shroud of Darkness", she is forced to accept Darth Vader is her corrupted former master. In "Twilight of the Apprentice", Ahsoka takes Ezra and Kanan to Malachor to search for Sith knowledge. She later sacrifices herself to buy Ezra and Kanan some time to get away from Darth Vader, forcing him to fight her as a temple collapses on top of them. She is seen stumbling through the ruins of the temple after the collapse.
The Senator of planet Alderaan and current owner of C-3PO and R2-D2, and secretly one of the leaders organizing the Rebel Alliance. After discreetly using the droids to inspect the Lothal rebel cell in the first episode "Droids in Distress", he sends a small fleet of frigates to aid the escape of the Lothal rebels in the Season 1 finale.
Alliance soldiers
A Clone trooper captain who served under Anakin in the Clone Wars.

The leader of the Phoenix Squadron rebel cell.
  • Dee Bradley Baker as Commander Wolffe (CC-3636):
A clone commando who aids the Rebel forces. Served under Jedi Master Plo-Koon during the Clone Wars, Wolffe is physically notable for his maimed right eye.

A clone commando who aids the Rebel forces; a survivor of the Foxtrot Group, who was promoted to commander after his near-death ordeal on Abafar while helping Meebur Gascon on his mission. Sometime after the Clone Wars, Gregor suffered brain damage and suffers from brief moments of mild insanity.

Civilians

A Devaronian crime lord who the Ghost crew occasionally runs errands and smuggles goods for in exchange for credits and information.
A Jablogian crime lord and business partner of Vizago's. In his first appearance in "Idiot's Array", he was tricked by Lando Calrissian into giving the entrepreneur a mining-purposed puffer pig and trading it for Hera, who then outsmarted Azmorigan and escaped from his ship, the Merchant One, to Calrissian and the Ghost crew. Azmorigan cornered them at Vizago's mining estate, but was defeated there.

A journalist working as a broadcaster on HoloNet News on Lothal.[14]
The 800 year old Jedi Master, who went into exile on the Dagobah following the Jedi Purge. Appears only as a disembodied voice in "Path of the Jedi". Filoni stated: "I felt personally to keep Yoda as this disembodied thing it would confuse the audience less. I didn't want you to think Yoda could be teleporting from planet to planet". In "Shroud of Darkness," Yoda appears before Ezra in a vision of a starfield and instructs him to find Malachor.

Guest characters

Darth Vader's former Jedi Master, who broadcast a message declaring the fall of the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order after Order 66. Kenobi broadcasts this warning off-screen in Revenge of the Sith, but it is shown in the first episode of Rebels. A holocron bearing Kenobi's message is amongst Kanan's possessions; getting the holocron to work is used by Kanan as a test for Ezra's Force potential in "Spark of Rebellion".

A Weequay who led the Onaka Gang (a group of space pirates that operated on the Outer Rim) during the Clone Wars until he lost his crew to the Galactic Empire. Ezra and Chopper met Hondo in "Brothers of the Broken Horn" when they answered his distress signal and learned that he had won Cikatro Vizago's ship. Following a fight with Azmorigan, Ezra learned that Hondo actually took over Vizago's ship and locked him up aboard it. After Vizago is freed, Hondo escaped from Vizago's ship only to fly back to the Ghost. Hondo allows the crew of the Ghost to keep the generators that Commander Sato needed and takes his leave.
A Mon Calamari engineer living on the planet Shantipole. He built the prototype B-wing, the Blade Wing, which was gifted to Hera in "Wings of the Master", and later oversaw the secret construction of more B-wings for the Rebel Alliance at Senator Organa's request. He is named after Star Wars concept artist Ralph McQuarrie.[16]
A Mandalorian Bounty Hunter who is an old friend of Sabine Wren. She and Sabine broke out of the Imperial academy on Mandalore together. But when Ketsu left Sabine for dead, she joined the Black Sun while Sabine joined the crew of the Ghost.

Ketsu later assisted the rebels in "The Forgotten Droid" when it comes to finding a star system that isn't occupied by the Galactic Empire.
The former Governor of Lothal and a family friend to Ephraim and Mira Bridger. He secretly assisted them in their campaign against the Galactic Empire. Ryder escaped prison, but his friends did not and assumed that they perished during his first encounter with Ezra and Kanan.
The princess of the planet Alderaan: Bail Organa's adopted daughter and Darth Vader's biological daughter. Filoni stated: "One of the complex challenges of depicting Leia in Rebels is that we have to remind the audience that at this point she is part of the Empire. She doesn’t believe in the Empire, but she is acting the part, almost a double agent."[17]
The hero of the Clone Wars, Ahsoka's former Jedi master, and the true identity of Darth Vader. He appears as his former self in "Shroud of Darkness" as both a vision to Ahsoka and a holographic recording providing lightsaber instructions, found within Kanan's holocron. Skywalker's voice is also heard briefly in a duel between Vader and Ahsoka in "Twilight of the Apprentice" after Ahsoka slices Vader's helmet open.
  • Stephen Stanton as AP-5:
A former analyst droid during the Clone Wars who was reduced to being an inventory droid on Cargo Transport 241. He sides with the Rebels and assists them in finding a suitable base, developing an unlikely friendship with Chopper.
A former Sith Lord who encounters Ezra as they both explore the ruins of a Sith temple deep beneath the surface of the planet Malachor and was being hunted by the Eighth Brother.[18] Hating the Sith for the pain they have caused him throughout his life yet still practicing their teachings, Maul hates the Empire and is willing to fight alongside the Jedi to help bring them down. However, he eventually reveals that his intentions are to use the temple to take revenge on his enemies and to make Ezra his new apprentice. Maul was responsible for beheading the Seventh Sister, cutting down the Fifth Brother and blinding Kanan Jarrus before being knocked off the temple by Kanan in the resulting battle. He ultimately escapes Malachor in one of the Inquisitor's TIE Fighters after the temple is destroyed.
The Presence is housed inside a Sith Holocron used to gain access to an Ancient Sith Temple found on Malachor. The voice of the holocron tries to convince Ezra to use the Temple to gain absolute power to use against his enemies. During Ahsoka's battle with Vader, Kanan and Ezra work together to remove the holocron from its base, destabilizing the entire temple in the process as the collected energy releases explosively and collapses the structure. The holocron housing the Presence was last seen on board the Ghost.
