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.
