VIDEO : 'Star Wars Rebels' Producer Struggled With Character's Death

'Star Wars Rebels' returned with a fatal blow to a member of the Ghost crew.

Executive producer Dave Filoni shared the challenges on bringing the sequence to life.

An explosion traps Kanan and the team, but he used the Force to hold back the explosion.

But he could only protect them for so long, and was consumed by the explosion after his friends got to safety.

When I was drawing that scene, it was getting depressing...It was a challenging thing to do, and I didn?t take it lightly.
Dave Filoni

'Star Wars Rebels' airs Mondays at 9:00 PM ET on Disney XD.
