Garazeb Orrelios

"Zeb is the muscle of the group. He's great at smashing things, including things he doesn't mean to smash."

- Ezra Bridger

Garazeb Orrelios, commonly known as Zeb, was a Lasat rebel who manned the starship Ghost. He was a trained warrior on his homeworld and did not get along with the starship's repair droid, Chopper.

Biography
Early in his life, Zeb was a member of the Honor Guard of Lasan, in which he received combat and military training. All that came to an end when the Galactic Empire devastated Lasan and utterly wiped nearly all of the people. By the age of 39, he then joined the rebels of Lothal in fight for freedom against the Empire.

Behind the scenes
Garazeb Orrelios was first revealed as a character from the forthcoming animated series Star Wars Rebels at the January 2014 Nuremberg International Toy Fair. Zeb is mentioned on the packaging for the LEGO Star Wars Rebels Ghost model, which encourages players to put Zeb on patrol in the Ghost 360-degree rotating cockpit. The Nuremburg box named the character as "Zeb Orretios," but images of the finalized set boxes updated his name to Orrelios.

In the series, he is to be voiced by veteran actor Steve Blum. In Orrelios's introduction video, Orrelios was stated to be a new species based off of Ralph McQuarrie's concept art for the Wookiee Chewbacca. However, the concept art had already been used as the basis for the Lasat species, and the Launch Pad department of Star Wars Insider 148 correctly identified him as a Lasat.
