Historical influences

edit

Characters in Star Wars Rebels have taken influence from Biblical, Hebrew, and Greco-Roman mythological names. Star Wars writers have often used biblical names for Jedi while giving galactic Imperial characters Roman names. In 2015 an interview was conducted with Dave Filoni and Simon Kinberg where Kinsberg stated that they wanted to connect to the original films by using the biblical naming scheme seen in the films.[106]Both Caleb and Ezra are historically Hebrew names, with Ezra translating to "helper".[106]Characters with Roman names include Clone Captain Rex which translates to "King" in Latin (although that character was created forThe Clone Wars) along with Sabine Wren, Admiral Brom Titus and Admiral Kassius Konstantine.[107]
