Saw Gerrera was a human male from the jungle world of Onderon, a resistance fighter whose decades-long struggle against tyranny made him one of the most notorious and divisive figures of his era.
With his sister Steela, Gerrera helped liberate their homeworld from the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars. After the rise of the Galactic Empire he continued the fight, leading a militant cell known as the Partisans whose extreme tactics set him at odds with mainstream Alliance leaders such as Bail Organa and Mon Mothma.
He is also remembered for sheltering the Erso family and raising Jyn Erso as his own. Regarded by the Empire, the Alliance, and the later New Republic alike as an extremist, Gerrera's role in specific campaigns is detailed in the Timeline tab.
