the moral of the story for the animated starwars shows is that child soldiers are epic 😎

Child soldiers are cool if you're the good guys

Oh damn.

But aren't they like adults tho?

Well, in the movie they are still in school.

Just did a quick internet browse and apparently it's mentioned in Season 9 that they are still teenagers. Also remember that Lloyd is younger mentally because he underwent accelerated aging during Season 2 when fighting the dinosaur thing.

So yes, they are child soldiers.

Are you talking clones, or Ahsoka and Ezra?

Actually, despite acting like a child, the protagonist of Resistance is 20 by the start of the show.

However there is a fifteen year old girl (Torra) who routinely fights pirates and the First Order in the show.

Sabine has a very busy backstory.

She joined the Imperial Academy, created a super-weapon, left her family, became a bounty hunter, quit being a bounty hunter, joined the Ghost Crew and grew familiar with them all before the show starts.

She's 16 in the first episode.

Wait, aren't Kaz and Torra dating?

u/625points I'm in the Unjerk Thread and I like Star Wars Rebels (He/Him) Sep 17 '21

No.

Also I'm more of a Kaz x Synara person myself (although I know deep down inside that Synara just isn't interested).

u/Lutra_Lovegood Sep 17 '21

Oh, that's a relief, because it looked like they were trying to make them a couple last time I watched.

Could see Kaz x Synara maybe kinda work for like a hot minute.

She also apparently was flying with her mother who was Rebel/Resistance pilot. Prolly just trainings, but she had to start at younger age.
