    Garazeb "Zeb" Orrelios

    Meet the muscle of the Ghost team. Garazeb "Zeb" Orrelios was a cunning Lasat honor guard who adopted the cause of rebellion against the Empire. Despite his hulking frame, Zeb was actually highly-educated and articulate. Still, he loved beating up stormtroopers, who he nicknamed “bucket heads.”

History

Zeb Orrelios fighting two Stormtroopers

The hulking Zeb Orrelios served Hera Syndulla’s rebel crew as a one-Lasat wrecking crew, gleefully crunching bucketheads and anyone else who threatened his friends. But Zeb’s wisecracking demeanor hid a painful past – the Empire had brutally subjugated his homeworld of Lasan, leaving Zeb as one of the few surviving members of his species.

Zeb Orrelios wielding his bo-rifle in the cockpit of the Ghost

Thanks to a tip from Hondo Ohnaka, the Ghost crew came to rescue -- much to Zeb’s shock -- two Lasat survivors. They were Gron, a former member of the Honor Guard who served under Zeb, and Chava, an elder mystic. Both believed in a prophecy that would reveal the location of Lira San, the original and future home of the Lasat. Zeb, hardened through his experience with the Empire and the loss of his people, however, thought this to be a foolish idea. Through Chava’s teachings, Zeb came to believe. He took part in a Lasat ritual, culminating with an ancient use of his bo-rifle, that led the Ghost to Lira San. The prophecy and the planet were real, and the Lasat had a homeworld once more.

Zeb Orrelios and Agent Kallus surviving together on Bahryn

On mission to investigate a construction module near Geonosis, Zeb and the rebels soon found they’d walked into a trap. Agent Kallus and his men were waiting, and in the ensuing chaos, Zeb and Kallus, his hated enemy -- who led the razing of Lasan -- found themselves together in an escape pod. They crash landed on a nearby moon -- freezing and desolate, with the exception of massive bonzami. While Zeb and Kallus’ hatred for each other boiled to the surface, they had to put their differences aside in order to survive. Through the experience, they learned unexpected truths. Kallus did not claim his Lasat bo-rifle as a trophy; it was gifted to him by an Honor Guard that he bested in battle. He also, in his first deployment, witnessed a Lasat murder his squad in cold blood. When the Ghost answered their transponder signal and came to rescue the unlikely duo, Kallus remained on the moon, waiting for the Empire. But both Imperial and rebel had a newfound respect and understanding for each other.

  • Zeb didn’t exactly warm to Ezra Bridger after the young orphan joined Hera’s rebel cell. In a bid to rescue Wookiee slaves, the rebels sought out an Imperial cruiser, trying to convince the Imperials that Zeb was a rare hairless Wookiee. It didn’t work, and Zeb began battering stormtroopers. But the rebels were trapped, and in making his escape Zeb left Ezra behind – to Hera’s displeasure. The crew voted to return and save Ezra from Imperial captivity.

  • On a mission to steal Imperial weapons on Garel, the rebels discovered the Empire was transporting T-Z ion disruptors – which had been used to devastating effect during the conquest of Lasan. An enraged Zeb implored Kanan to destroy the weapons rather than selling them. He was nearly killed in a showdown with Agent Kallus, but Ezra saved him with the Force.

  • It was bad enough that Zeb had to share a cabin aboard the Ghost with Ezra, but now he owed the orphan his life. That debt kept Zeb from battering Ezra when Chopper launched an electric charge at Ezra that missed its intended target and hit the sleeping Lasat. But the battle was on when Ezra’s bunk collapsed on Zeb, courtesy of Chopper having removed its bolts. Tired of their bickering, Hera sent Zeb and Ezra to the market in Capital City to find meiloorun. They couldn’t buy any of the fruits, so they decided to steal a crate from the Empire.

  • The attempted theft left Zeb and Ezra running from the Empire. Zeb leapt on a TIE fighter and hurled the pilot out of the cockpit, then rescued Ezra in return for the boy’s promise that they were now even. But the two of them struggled with the fighter’s controls, careening through the market and across the Lothal grasslands.

  • At Old Jho’s Pit Stop, Zeb was so certain that he had a winning sabacc hand that he bet Chopper, only to lose the hand and the droid. Chopper’s new owner, the smooth-talking smuggler Lando Calrissian, offered to return the droid and pay Hera’s crew if they helped him move cargo past Lothal’s Imperial blockade.

  • During the rebels’ raid on Lothal’s Imperial communications tower, Zeb took the controls of a turbolaser emplacement, delightedly using the powerful weapon to blast stormtroopers and gunships.

  • After the Empire captured Kanan, Zeb joined the mission to rescue him from a Star Destroyer in the Mustafar system. The big Lasat had rarely if ever found crunching bucketheads so satisfying.

    Lasat

    The Lasat are a humanoid alien species, notable for their impressive height, strength, and agility, that tragically fell victim to the tyranny of the Empire. Imperials devastated the planet of Lasan and nearly destroyed all its people, using deadly T-7 ion disruptors on the Lasat. Zeb Orrelios, one of the massacre's few survivors, was a member of the Honor Guard of Lasan: highly trained, highly intelligent warriors and masters of the bo-rifle.

    Lasan Honor Guard AB-75 Bo-Rifle

    The AB-75 bo-rifle was the weapon of the Lasan Honor Guard, featuring a blaster barrel, bayonet, and electromagnetic pulse-generator tip. It required a great degree of skill to wield; Agent Kallus of the Imperial Security Bureau took an AB-75 from a fallen Lasat Honor Guard he defeated in battle. While a bo-rifle was a powerful weapon, its uses stemmed beyond combat. Zeb, the Lasat rebel, used his bo-rifle to complete an ancient ritual: the blaster-staff, shooting beams of yellow energy, led the Ghost through an anomaly and directly to Lirasan, the fabled Lasat homeworld.

    Ezra Bridger

    One of the few to be trained as a Jedi after the fall of the Republic, Ezra Bridger grew up an orphan on the streets of Lothal during the age of the Empire. Although he had learned to be wary of strangers, his introduction to the Ghost crew, a small band of rebels fighting back against the Imperial regime, changed his outlook and his future. Training in the ways of the Force under the mentorship of Kanan Jarrus, Ezra became a Jedi Padawan and a part of the emerging rebellion. He also grew close to Hera Syndulla, Zeb, Chopper, and Sabine Wren, who was like a sister in his new found family. After several years together, Bridger vanished during the Battle of Lothal, disappearing into parts unknown in a hyperspace jump that pulled Ezra and Grand Admiral Thrawn into deep space.

    Kanan Jarrus / Caleb Dume

    Not every Jedi perished in Order 66. Once known by the name Caleb Dume, Kanan Jarrus survived the Emperor’s purge, going underground for years and hiding the truth about who he really was. To keep his past a secret, Kanan carried a blaster -- an uncommon practice for a Jedi -- and used a lightsaber that had to be assembled. In the years leading up to the galactic civil war, he was a leader among the Ghost crew, a small group of rebels looking to strike back against the Empire, and with the emergence of the Force-sensitive Ezra, once again embraced his identity as a Jedi Knight.

    Sabine Wren is a Mandalorian warrior and graffiti artist with a creative and rebellious spirit. Independent by nature, during the age of the Empire a young Sabine defected from the Imperial Academy of Mandalore and joined a small rebel cell operating out of the Ghost and led by Hera Syndulla and the Jedi Knight Kanan Jarrus. With a gift for colorful explosives and uniquely-painted beskar, Sabine’s signature starbird — a mark she left to sign her street art and other handiwork — inspired what would become the symbol for the Rebel Alliance.
