Read more about Saw Gerrera at: Wikipedia Official Site: Lucasfilm Saw Gerrera is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise. Saw was originally introduced in the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars, where he was voiced by Andrew Kishino. He was subsequently played by Forest Whitaker in the film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story as well as voiced by him in the animated series Star Wars Rebels and the video game Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. In The Clone Wars, he is the brother of the leader of the Onderon rebels, Steela Gererra, with whom he helps free Onderon from the Confederacy of Independent Systems, and is mentored in military combat by the Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker (along with his Padawan Ahsoka Tano) and clone trooper Captain Rex. In Rogue One, Saw is a close friend of Galen Erso, the foster parent and mentor in military combat of Jyn Erso, as well as the leader of an extremist rebel cell called the Partisans unaffiliated with the Rebel Alliance due to Saw's violent military tactics. Though Saw appeared in animated form in The Clone Wars, that was not the original plan for him. Appearing on The Star Wars Show, Pablo Hidalgo of Lucasfilm’s Story Group revealed the character’s origin; "He started off before that. George Lucas had him in mind for his live-action TV series that was in development, which ultimately never happened, but he found a place to put Saw into a story in Clone Wars." Supervising director of The Clone Wars Dave Filoni stated: "We wanted a brother/sister duo on Onderon, and the character Saw was a character that George had already created, and he just wanted to involve and tell a little more about that character. So in the course of that we created Steela [to be Saw's sister], who would act as a natural foil to Ahsoka."
Saw Gerrera has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
