Dave Filoni, executive producer of Star Wars Rebels and head of Lucasfilm animation, has been filling the summer of late with little insights into Rebels and the moments we haven’t seen on screen. Of course the show can’t depict every second of these characters’ lives, but Filoni and the Star Wars Story Group know more than we’ve seen on screen.

After revealing a bombshell of a conversation between Ahsoka Tano and Bendu, the mysterious Force creature on the series a couple of weeks ago, this week Filoni explored a more straightforward relationship and chat, between Ahsoka and Kanan Jarrus.

First, Filoni revealed that “YES, Kanan and Ahsoka knew each other, had met while they were younglings at the Jedi Temple.” The pair of young Jedi-to-be “did not know each other well,” he cautioned, but said they very specifically had done one part of training together: saber training. A neat touch, since Kanan then has to teach lightsaber use to both Ezra and Sabine, and Ahsoka is one of the best lightsaber fighters in Star Wars.

When next they met, years later in the events of Rebels, Filoni said they had a conversation wherein Ahsoka tried to assess whether Kanan was truly ready for what’s to come. Here is Filoni’s script for that scene, a truly touching exchange between the pair.
