WhileStar Wars Rebelsmay have ended six years ago, more and moreRebelscharacters are being introduced into live-action, and one upcoming show can bring yet another beloved character to live-action as well.Rebelsconnected with a lot of viewers because it had a bit of everything. There was an ensemble cast that made it easy to find a character to connect with. However,Rebelsalso held very serious storylines that dealt with death, torture, and familial trauma.
Rebelsmade it so that anyone who boarded theGhostfelt like they were instantly part of this found family, one that has certainly grown over time. Recently, someRebelscharacters have made their live-action debut, withHera Syndulla, Sabine Wren, and Ezra Bridger appearing for the first time inAhsokaseason 1. Meanwhile, the droid C1-10P appeared inRogue One: A Star Wars Story, andZeb Orrelios appeared inThe Mandalorianseason 3. However, there’s a keyRebelscharacter audiences have not seen in live-action yet, and there are a few places where this could happen.
Star Wars Rebels Voice Cast - What The Actors Look Like In Real Life
Star Wars Rebels features an amazing cast of live-action and voice-acting all-stars, each who bring an added edge to Star Wars.
The Mandalorian & Grogu Could Bring Back Kallus
His Connection With Zeb Makes This A Possibility
Former ISB Agent Alexsandr Kallus was a staple throughout all four seasons ofRebels.While initially being introduced as an antagonist who worked for the Empire, Kallus worked as a spy for theRebel Alliancebeginning inRebelsseason 3.Over the course ofRebels, Kallus formed a close bond with Zeb Orrelios after the two had been stranded on an ice planet together. Zeb had inadvertently recruited Kallus to the Rebellion and became close friends following Kallus’ official defection in theRebelsseason 3 finale.
Many audiences believe that Zeb and Kallus had formed a romantic relationship at one point, though it’s never been confirmed whether that’s true. Because of their close bond, romantic or otherwise, viewers believe that Kallus will make his live-action debut in the upcomingThe Mandalorian & Grogumovie, considering Zeb has already appeared in teaser footage shown at Disney’s D23. If audiences get to see more of the Adelphi base where Zeb is stationed, Kallus may be there too. It would be an easy and fun way to bring back one belovedRebelscharacter.
Kallus Would Be Better Suited To Appear In Andor Season 2
And Would Serve as a Great Link Between Rebels and Andor
Despite how much sense it would make for Kallus to appear inThe Mandalorian & Grogu,Andorseason 2is a much better place for the ex-Imperial to appear. It’s known that following Kallus’ defection, he was stationed on Yavin 4 withMon Mothma, and was even seen working closely with her inRebels. Seeing as Mon Mothma’s defection and escape from the Empire will likely be seen inAndorseason 2, which will lead directly into the events ofRogue One: A Star Wars Story, it seems natural that one of Mon Mothma’s advisors will make an appearance.
It’s possible that otherRebelscharacters like Hera, Ezra, or Zeb could appear, but Kallus would fit well with the gritty and strategy-based action that has been seen inAndorpreviously.
BecauseRebelsestablished Kallus already being on Yavin 4 and working with Mon Mothma, he would serve as an excellent link between the two shows without taking away from the overall title. It’s possible that otherRebelscharacters like Hera, Ezra, or Zeb could appear, but Kallus would fit well with the gritty and strategy-based action that has been seen inAndorpreviously.Kallus’ expertise on the Empire combined with his time as an ISB agent would make him an invaluable asset to the higher-ups in the Rebel Allianceand is worthy of being shown onscreen.
Kallus is also one of only three others to operate under the code name “Fulcrum,” and Cassian is another, which further links the two characters.
Andor Cast & Character Guide
The cast of Andor, Star Wars' latest Disney+ series, is filled with faces both familiar and new. Here are all the characters & their actors explained.
Andor
Cast
Andor is a Star Wars prequel series set before the events of Rogue One, following Cassian Andor as he navigates a world of danger and deception. The series delves into his transformation into a pivotal figure in the struggle against the Galactic Empire.
There’s So Much More To See of Kallus
And Andor Would Allow His Character to Shine
There isn’t much else audiences know about Kallus that wasn’t shown inRebels,so refusing to flesh out a character that already has such a compelling story would be a missed opportunity. While getting flashbacks of Kallus might not be called for inAndor, seeing what he did after the events of the Liberation of Lothal in theRebelsseries finalewould be important to complete his story.Audiences seldom got to see Kallus while he was a full-fledged rebel, so getting to highlight this part of Kallus’ life seems like an opportunityStar Warsshould jump on.
Andoris notorious for not featuring other establishedStar Warscharacters, with only a handful returning from other projects. However,bringing in someone like Kallus would help connect toRebels,which was taking place at much of the same time asAndor.Additionally, bringing in someone like Kallus wouldn’t distract from much of the story, as there isn’t too much backstory audiences have to know about his character to understand him.Star Warshas done a great job so far bringing characters fromStar WarsRebelsto live-action, but it’s time for other characters like Kallus to shine inAndor.
Star Wars Rebels
