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."
