Saw Gerrera is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise. He was introduced in a 2012 episode of the animated series The Clone Wars, in which he is voiced by Andrew Kishino. He is played by Forest Whitaker in the live-action film Rogue One (2016) and the live-action television series Andor (2022). Whitaker voices Saw in the animated series Star Wars Rebels and the video game Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Saw also appears in The Bad Batch, with Kishino reprising his role.
In The Clone Wars, Saw is introduced as the brother of Steela Gerrera, the leader of the Onderon rebels. The siblings work together to free Onderon from the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Saw is mentored in military combat by Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Ahsoka Tano, as well as the clone trooper Captain Rex. In Rogue One, Saw is the foster parent and mentor of Jyn Erso, as well as the leader of the Partisans, an anarchist rebel cell unaffiliated with the Rebel Alliance. The missions of the Partisans are explored in Star Wars Rebels.[3]
