We discovered who Fulcrum is, but what is the significance of her code name?Ī fulcrum is the pivot point for a lever. Thankfully, we were not kept waiting for long (like a season-ending cliffhanger), but Fulcrum was revealed at the conclusion of the season finale, “Fire across the Galaxy,” when we saw the return of Ahsoka to the screen as she descended the ladder, revealing herself as Fulcrum.
However, these clues were certainly pointing us in her direction.Īs the season progressed, the makers of Rebels actively focused on turning our attention from my favorite Togrutan by showing previews of holographic images of a hooded Fulcrum s peaking to Hera - a hooded form that was distinctly different from the familiar scenes of a hooded Ahsoka from The Clone Wars which clearly showed Ahsoka’s montrals and lekku. Some fans put together the clues and believed Fulcrum was none other than Ahsoka Tano (though I was a believer, I wanted to argue all the angles, just to challenge my own first impression). In the same episode, we heard Fulcrum’s voice, albeit altered to disguise the voice. When Sabine and Hera go to an outpost to pick up supplies from Fulcrum, Hera specifies which crate she will move to the Phantom, based on a mark on the outside of the container. I think people would be disappointed if there wasn’t some connection…” On the official site, during a video entitled, “The Lost Missions Q&A Rebels”, he admitted, “It would almost be crazy for there not to be anything that is related to a show I loved so much in a new show I’m doing.” These statements, combined with my admitted bias for Ahsoka, convinced me that we would indeed be seeing her return at some point in the series.ĭuring the fifth episode, “Out of Darkness”, we heard about Hera’s mysterious contact, Fulcrum. Empire Online asked him about tie-ins to The Clone Wars to which he responded, “It’s possible, I’ll just say that. Most importantly, would our favorite characters from The Clone Wars be seen in Rebels (specifically, Ahsoka Tano)?Īnticipating the upcoming series, I was diligent to seek out all information regarding Star Wars Rebels prior to its release - especially interviews with Dave Filoni. Would the audience be left hanging (again) by a premature, inconclusive end to the series? Star Wars fans are still wanting an appropriate conclusion for The Clone Wars and the aforementioned TRON: Uprising came to an abrupt halt on a cliffhanger.

We had questions, some of which remain unanswered: Would Disney give this new series a fair chance to attract an audience? After all, the ever-changing and inconsistent scheduling of TRON: Uprising (a Disney property) led to viewers wondering when it would air. However, we were also cautiously curious about this new series. Many of us were frustrated that one of Disney’s first moves after purchasing Lucasfilm was not only to cancel The Clone Wars but to halt production on many several episodes which had been planned, written, recorded, and in various stages of production, from animatics to final rendering. For those of us who loved Star Wars: The Clone Wars from its outset to its premature end, the announcement of a new Star Wars animated series on Disney XD resulted in mixed emotions.
