10 Star Wars Mistakes Confirmed By The Creators

Set between the events of Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith, with the final four episodes showing the execution of Order 66 from Ahsoka Tano’s point of view, The Clone Wars allowed for a far deeper exploration of previously unseen characters and unheard stories across the galaxy.

One such character was Saw Gerrera, already created from the mind of George Lucas. The man behind the entire Star Wars franchise also brought to life Steela Gerrera, a sister to Saw who would help develop the character and also act as something of a thorn in Ahsoka’s side when it came to her relationship with Lux.

While Saw would go on to appear in The Bad Batch, after his live-action debut in Rogue One, Steela died during the Battle of Onderon in the same story arc in which she was introduced. This is something that Dave Filoni has admitted he deeply regrets.

With Steela, Filoni felt that the series had a character that they could bring back later in a different capacity. She was a popular character in the writers’ room, her design and characterisation were excellent, as well as a fantastic vocal performance by Dawn-Lyen Gardner, but she still didn’t make it. An incredible death scene, but one that ended this character’s journey too soon.
