Star Wars Fulcrum

Star Wars Fulcrum is an animated television series that was picked up as a pilot for Wiki Channel on April 30th, 2016. It is part of the Star Wars franchise, focusing on Ahsoka Tano from Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels. The series is being produced by Wiki Channel co-founder Nutter Butter.

Series Overview
The series focuses on Ahsoka Tano, who was introduced in the Star Wars cartoon Star Wars: The Clone Wars as the padawan of Anakin Skywalker. After her departure from the series in its next-to-last season, Ahsoka later returned in Star Wars Rebels.

Nutter Butter, a longtime fan of Star Wars and Star Wars Rebels, decided to pitch the idea of a Star Wars series starring Ahsoka following the end of her arc on Rebels, feeling that there was a lot of potential plots that could be placed either before The Clone Wars and Rebels or after Rebels. Eventually, it was decided that the series would pick up shortly after Order 66, and would eventually reach post-Rebels.

The decision to include Mon Mothma and Bail Organa as characters in the series was made by Butter while doing research on The Clone Wars in order to write Ahsoka as accurately as possible. Mon Mothma was included due to Butter feeling that her character, despite having a lot of potential, was given very little attention in her few appearances and "deserved better". Her maternal personality also made her a perfect fit for the role of Ahsoka's protector and mentor. Organa was included in order to further the development of the Rebellion.

Jun Sato was included "on a whim" with "little thought behind it", though his companion, Utinni, is intended to be a "unique take on the regular droid character", as a silent but humorous companion. However, she was later given dialogue and deeper development.

Butter was familiar with the character of Vergere from the only Legends-canon book he had ever read, "Rogue Planet". Vergere had a very limited role in the book, but was included in many future books and comics. Butter felt that Vergere was an interesting character, though he wasn't fond of the end of her story, and felt like the decision to move her story into Legends gave him a chance to reintroduce her in canon and re-tell her story.

The series is intended to be "semi-canon". As Butter puts it, "It will stay as close to canon as humanly possible. However, there are some things that just won't work. Disney and Lucasfilms haven't offered us much information to base this on."
