Dave Filoni Confirms That Sabine’s Loth-cat, Murley, Is Alive and Well

A few months ago, the Ahsoka live-action series premiered on Disney Plus, and fans of Star Wars: Rebels got to see the continuing adventures of some of their favorite characters. Sabine Wren in particular had quite a bit of screen time, but fans were also interested in another newly-introduced aspect of the Mandalorian warrior's life: her pet Loth-cat Murley.



Unfortunately, Murley was abruptly left behind when our heroes left Lothal soon into the season, and some fans worried about his wellbeing. Series creator and writer Dave Filoni was recently on Entertainment Weekly's Dagobah Dispatch podcast, and he put fans' minds at ease when the topic of Murley was broached.

Murley made his debut in Ahsoka's first episode, and it quickly became apparent that he and Sabine had developed a close friendship. However, Sabine had to leave Murley on Lothal shortly thereafter so she could go in search of her lost friend Ezra, and the Loth-cat wasn't seen or mentioned again in the series after that point. Understandably, the pet-loving viewers in the audience began to wonder what happened to Murley after his owner's departure. Some feared the worst: that perhaps the faithful feline had perished in Sabine's absence. Thankfully, we can all rest easy now that Filoni has confirmed that Murley is alive, well, and not entirely dependent upon Sabine.



Filoni also took a moment to elaborate upon Sabine and Murley's relationship:

Obviously, it's doubtful that such a documentary will be produced, but Ahsoka may yet earn a second season, so who knows? Maybe we'll see more of Murley then.



Stay tuned for more news and speculation on Ahsoka, including Katee Sackhoff's opinions on whether or not we will see a reunion between Bo-Katan and Ahsoka, and more.
