Star Wars: The Clone Wars introduced one of the most complex and defining characters of the Disney Star Wars era: Saw Gerrera. Gerrera, originally introduced in Star Wars: The Clone Wars season 5, episode 2, “A War on Two Fronts,” now has a violent, prideful, yet undeniably vital legacy within Star Wars’ storytelling, especially where the Rebellion and the history of the Galactic Civil War are concerned.
Later, Clone Force 99 would run into Saw again during one of his more dangerous missions, which indirectly resulted in the death of Clone Force 99 member Tech. That’s the thing about Saw, though – collateral damage was just that to him: collateral damage. He believed that fighting the fight was more important than anything and that in war, casualties were inevitable.
As the Rebel Alliance grew, so too did Saw Gerrera’s ambition. His plans became wilder, and his regard for the safety of others became less important. Is there a massive kyber crystal to destroy? Who cares if a few civilians die in the process? Is the Empire building new weaponry on Geonosis? Who cares if they decimate the last member of a near-extinct species?
Through Saw, We See The Extreme Side Of The Rebellion Saw’s ruthless drive is what makes him such an interesting character, a character that has allowed Disney's Star Wars to be so much more compelling. So much of the Rebel Alliance’s story is rooted in unlikely heroes saving the day with nothing but their wits, compassion, and a desire to do good.
Saw Was Right About The Empire, But Wrong About The Means In many ways, Saw was right about the Empire. It couldn’t be reasoned with – it needed to know that the Rebel Alliance was willing to stand up to its tyranny and not cower beneath its might. His understanding of the Empire didn’t give him the right to decide who lives and who dies during the fight, however.
