Star Wars Rebels wrapped up earlier this year after its fourth season came to an end. The animated series carved out its own place in the Star Wars universe and turned original characters like Ezra, Hera and Kanan into fan favorites. At an early stage of development, however, the show could have hued a lot closer to the Original Trilogy.
Speaking to ComicBook.com, showrunner Dave Filoni explained that the production team initially discussed having the crew of The Ghost set about going after the plans for the Death Star, in order to tie into A New Hope. However, when Rogue One came out and covered the same area, Filoni decided that he wanted Rebels to tell its own complete story and not just be one piece in a bigger jigsaw puzzle.
“There were some really early on conversations with Rebels about it being it about them finding the Death Star plans.
