Saw Gerrera is a character in the Star Wars franchise who was first introduced in the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Saw was a leader of a group of rebels fighting against the separatist movement during the Clone Wars. He later became a key player in the fight against the Galactic Empire after the fall of the Republic. Saw is known for his extreme tactics and willingness to do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, even if it means sacrificing innocent lives.
Saw Gerrera’s Injuries
During one of his missions, Saw was caught in a blast that caused significant injuries to his body, including the loss of his legs and impact on his lungs. To survive, he had to undergo extensive modifications and enhancements to his body, including the use of prosthetic legs and a breathing apparatus. These modifications not only allowed Saw to survive his injuries, but also gave him enhanced physical abilities, making him a formidable fighter.
The Toll of the Modifications
The modifications that Saw underwent to survive his injuries took a toll on his body and mind. Over time, he became increasingly unstable and paranoid, seeing threats everywhere and resorting to extreme measures to counter them. This was further exacerbated by the trauma he experienced as a result of his experiences fighting against the Empire.
Saw Gerrera’s Legacy
Despite his flaws and extremist tendencies, Saw Gerrera was a hero to many in the Star Wars universe. His willingness to fight for what he believed in, no matter the cost, inspired many others to join the fight against the Empire. His modified appearance and abilities are a reflection of the sacrifices he made in service of his cause, as well as the physical and psychological toll that fighting against the Empire took on him. Saw’s legacy can be seen in the actions of characters like Jyn Erso, who was inspired by his bravery and sacrifice to fight against the Empire in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
