The voice-actors for Star Wars Rebels have shared their emotional reaction to learning of the death of Freddie Prinze Jr.'s Kanan Jarrus. A spiritual successor to Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Star Wars Rebels is set toward the end of the Dark Times of the Emperor's reign. It featured Freddie Prinze Jr. as the voice of Kanan Jarrus, a Jedi who survived Order 66 – and it was immediately clear Kanan's days were numbered. After all, viewers reasoned, the character isn't around during the original trilogy to train Luke Skywalker. As expected, Kanan died in Star Wars Rebels season 4, sacrificing his life to save his loved ones.
