END LIKE IT DID MEANS SO
MUCH MORE FOR AHSOKA
AND REX TO COME BACK.”
The Clone Wars to end like it did, kind of on a cliffhanger
and not knowing where these characters ended up, it
means so much for them to come back in Rebels because
we need more. We need more of their storylines, we
need to know where they went and what they’ve been
doing, what happened to them.
Rex and Ahsoka have quite a history. What kind of
relationship do they have now?
They have a bond like family. They really spent so much
time side-by-side fi ghting in Clone Wars. I think Ahsoka
has such a special bond with Rex because he was kind of
like a mentor in a way, along with Anakin—even though
she said in the show, “So, if you are a captain and I’m a
Jedi, then technically I outrank you, right?” Rex quickly
put her in her place and said, “Well, experience outranks
everything,” and I think she respected him from day one
for that and admired that she had to earn his respect.
I think along with Anakin and the rest of the gang, it’s
like an older brother and a family member. So they
have a really, really tight bond and we don’t know what
happened between them after she walked away from the
Clone Wars, but we do know that they’re both still alive,
and hopefully we’ll get to find out more about what
they’ve been doing since.
