This article contains spoilers for The Mandalorian season 3, episode 5.Star Wars has finally revealed what happened to Garazeb "Zeb" Orrelios after Star Wars Rebels. Lucasfilm's animated Star Wars Rebels TV show introduced viewers to a rebel cell based on the planet Lothal, who gradually became absorbed into the wider Rebel Alliance. Things were never going to end well for the group, given they were operating before the first Death Star – before the first rebel victory. One of their number, the Jedi Kanan Jarrus, sacrificed his life; his student, Ezra Bridger, was lost in the Unknown Regions. Other members of the rebel cell continued working in the Rebel Alliance, with their leader Hera Syndulla even taking part in the battle of Endor.
One character has been largely a mystery, however; Garazeb "Zeb" Orrelios, a Lasat rebel who played a key role in opposing the Empire on Lothal. He was a highly trained combatant, and he had cultivated a fierce hatred of the Empire given their attempted genocide of his people. That meant nobody ever expected Zeb to sit out the rest of the Galactic Civil War – and Star Wars is finally confirming his role in the galaxy after the end of Star Wars Rebels.
