Star Wars Black Series Rebels Figures — Complete Guide

The Rebels faction is the spine of the Star Wars Black Series. It covers every character who fought against the Empire — from the core Original Trilogy cast to the ragged partisans of Rogue One, the spies of Andor, the ghost crew of Rebels, and the scattered veterans of Solo. If you’re building a display that tells the story of the Galactic Civil War, this is the faction you’re working with.

What the Rebels Faction Covers

The faction label is broad by design. In collecting terms, “Rebels” captures anyone on the side of the Rebellion or its affiliated networks — regardless of which film, show, or era they come from.

The Original Trilogy core is here: Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, and Chewbacca all have double-digit releases, with Han holding the Rebels record at 17 figures. R2-D2, C-3PO, and Lando round out the classic lineup. Rebel soldiers, Hoth troopers, and fleet crew fill out the background.

The prequel and anthology era contributes heavily too. Rogue One brought Jyn Erso, Cassian Andor, K-2SO, Baze Malbus, Chirrut Imwe, and Bodhi Rook. The Andor series expanded Cassian’s story significantly — he’s now the most-released Andor character with six figures across different outfits and missions. Solo added Qi’Ra, Val, Tobias Beckett, Rio Durant, and L3-37. Star Wars Rebels gave us Hera Syndulla, Sabine Wren, Garazeb Orrelios, and Chopper — all originally exclusive to the Fan Channel. Doctor Aphra and her comic run added a morally complicated archaeologist and her droid companions BT-1 and 0-0-0. The sequel era adds Cara Dune, Migs Mayfeld, and a handful of Resistance-adjacent characters.

It’s a sprawling, evolving faction — and that’s part of what makes it interesting to collect.

The Original Trilogy Core

The OT Rebels are where the faction begins and where the most significant figures live. The 40th Anniversary waves produced the most complete treatment of the core lineup, with every major character covered in both A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back configurations. The Galaxy Collection era then did it again — the ANH collection gave us fresh, current-tooling versions of Luke, Han, Leia, and Chewbacca with improved articulation and Photo Real paint.

The result is that for some collectors, the choice isn’t “do I have Han Solo?” but “which Han Solo?” The Blue Wave version, the multiple 40th Anniversary variants, the Archive repacks, and the current ANH collection all occupy the same shelf space. If you’re building a focused display of the Death Star escape or the Battle of Hoth, you want the most recent tooling — generally the ANH collection figures for the Yavin-era characters, and the 40th ESB figures for Hoth.

For army building, the Rebel Fleet Trooper, Rebel Trooper (Hoth), and Rebel Commando (Endor Deluxe) give you background soldiers for diorama work. None of these have been refreshed with current tooling, so they’re older sculpts — but they hold up well enough for rank-and-file display.

Rogue One and the Andor Era

The Rogue One faction refresh in 2021 was one of the more satisfying waves of the Galaxy Collection era — it finally gave the Rogue One team modern figures to replace scattered older releases. Jyn Erso, Cassian, K-2SO, Baze Malbus, Chirrut Imwe, Bodhi Rook, Saw Gerrera, and General Merrick arrived together, giving collectors a near-complete Scarif lineup for the first time.

Cassian Andor then became one of the most thoroughly covered characters in the entire line thanks to the Andor collection. His appearances across the Aldhani Mission, multiple mainline releases, and the Sienar Test Pilot exclusive mean he’s genuinely one of the more version-rich characters in the faction. Senator Mon Mothma, Bix Caleen, Luthen Rael, and Vel Sartha filled out the Andor supporting cast in a way the show deserved. K-2SO got a dedicated Andor-era release alongside them.

The challenge with Rogue One and Andor figures is sourcing — much of the Andor wave was retail-era or limited, and some exclusives like the Aldhani Mission Cassian (Walmart) can be harder to find at retail price. The mainline figures are generally the easiest to track down.

Star Wars Rebels Characters

The Rebels animated series cast arrived mainly through Fan Channel exclusives in 2020 — Hera, Sabine, Kanan, Ezra, Chopper, and Zeb all in one go. This was excellent for completists but created the usual Fan Channel sourcing headaches. Most have since become more available through repacks and reissues.

Hera Syndulla received a second figure via the live-action Ahsoka series. Sabine Wren similarly got a major update in the Ahsoka collection with her new live-action look, removable helmet, and lightsaber — a significant upgrade from the original animated version. Ezra Bridger has two Ahsoka-era figures on top of the original Rebels release. Chopper has three total releases including the 2023 mainline repack that made him much more accessible.

For collectors building a Ghost crew display, the combination of the original 2020 Fan Channel figures and the Ahsoka-era live-action versions gives you interesting options — you can display the animated aesthetic or the live-action look depending on your preference. The original figures are animated-style sculpts; the newer ones match the show’s realistic rendering.

Display Strategy

The Rebels faction is too large to display all at once unless you have serious dedicated shelf space. The natural approach is to break it into sub-groups by era or scene, then curate within each.

The OT core assembles naturally: Luke, Han, Leia, Chewie, R2-D2, C-3PO, and a handful of Rebel soldiers tell the story of the Galactic Civil War very efficiently. If you want to push the display further, adding Wedge Antilles, a Rebel Fleet Trooper, an X-Wing Pilot, and Lando fleshes out the command structure.

Rogue One displays particularly well as a standalone squad. The full Rogue One team — Jyn, Cassian, K-2SO, Baze, Chirrut, Bodhi, and Saw — creates a tighter, darker aesthetic than the classic Rebel lineup. Cassian and K-2SO can also anchor a separate Andor display alongside Mon Mothma and Luthen Rael for collectors who want to represent the pre-Yavin intelligence network specifically.

The Ghost crew works as its own display unit. Hera, Sabine, Kanan, Ezra, Zeb, and Chopper are a coherent team — though mixing animated-style and live-action figures on the same shelf is a personal preference call.

For shelf placement generally, the OT figures tend to read as the centrepiece and the anthology and animated characters orbit them well. Taller figures like Chewbacca, K-2SO, and Zeb create natural height variation without much effort.

Key Figures to Prioritise

The Galaxy Collection ANH series (ANH 09 Luke, ANH 10 Han, ANH 08 Leia, ANH 11 Chewbacca) represents the current state-of-the-art for the core cast and is the recommended starting point. For ESB, the 40th Anniversary Wave 3 lineup — Boba Fett, Darth Vader, Luke Bespin, Han Bespin, Leia Hoth, Chewbacca, Snowtrooper — is comprehensive and well-executed.

For Rogue One, the 2021 Galaxy Collection wave is the complete toolkit. For Andor, the mainline Cassian, Mon Mothma, Bix, Luthen, Vel, and K-2SO are all worth having. Doctor Aphra (Comic Set) is one of the more distinctive figures in the entire Rebels faction — she comes packaged with BT-1 and 0-0-0, making it effectively three figures for one purchase.

Some figures in this faction are genuinely harder to find at reasonable prices — the original Fan Channel Rebels cast (Hera, Sabine, Zeb, Chopper, Kanan) in particular. If you see them at fair prices, they’re worth securing.
