Epic Star Wars Rebels Season 3 Teaser!" http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Tar_Vizsla Apart from the whole Darksaber and a "mandalorian becoming Jedi" matter (which I have to say, I find questionable), does this mean that Shae Vizsla has now become a canon figure seeing she'll obviously have to be the ancestor of this Tar Vizsla? Thoughts? EDIT: In the eventuality of mistakes, please note I do not watch the SW Rebels series.. merely created this thread to get some perspective on the matter.

Shae will only become canon if she is mentioned in anything that is produced going forward. That could be in Rebels or another tv show, in a comic or novel. The family lineage could easily be changed with no mention of her at all, leaving her LEGENDS . Hopefully they do mention her and make her part of the canon universe, time will tell.

SteveTheCynic Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Shae Vizsla has now become a canon figure seeing she'll obviously have to be the ancestor of this Tar Vizsla? Thoughts? My thought is that the fact that a historical figure and a modern-day figure have the same family name DOES NOT mean that they are related in any way. So perhaps it was Shae's brother who is the ancestor of Tar. Or perhaps it's a different Vizsla family. (You know, like that not every person called Smith today has Adam Smith as an ancestor, not least because he never had any children.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(You know, like that not every person called Smith today has Adam Smith as an ancestor, not least because he never had any children.) Naturally, that makes sense. But in Star Wars lore, whenever we meet a character sharing a certain family name... the odds are pretty good we're talking about a direct descendant, judging from the past movie/game sources. Seeing there is a House Vizsla now however, your reasonings is logical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SithKoriandr Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 My thoughts on this, is they should have said more than 1000 years Seriously, as a RPer, it's not like people aren't already saying they have a Mandalorian turned Jedi or even just a Mandalorian with force abilities. Now they give a firm date as to it being 1000 years before Rebels, which means it's like 2000 years after TOR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthDymond Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 (edited) I think Clone Wars already covered this ground when the Darksaber was first introduced - Pre Vizsla specifically says that his (unnamed) ancestor stole it from the Jedi Temple. That it was also built by an earlier Vizsla is new, but the idea that Shae stole it during the Sacking of Coruscant has been around for a few years. If nothing else, it continues to be a nice nod and wink to Shae and SWTOR. (That being said, I'm looking forward to some Sabine-focused episodes, especially if they dig into her past and affiliation with Clan Vizsla - I'm hoping for confirmation that she's Bo-Katan's daughter, since I doubt they'll go full soap opera and have her be Satine's secret child. Though if she were that'd certainly add an interesting new element to the showdown being teased for the end of the season.)

Antilleses tend to disagree, I would say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
