SPOILERS FOR THESE EPISODES OF REBELS AND R1:

Those episodes didn’t end nearly as badly for Saw as I expected, and didn’t show Saw to be as bad a guy as I hoped. At this point he was already extreme enough to abandon Jyn, but not extreme enough to be sent to Geonosis by Rebel leadership. Now if they were doing this rescue mission outside of orders, like Saw had gone on his own and reached out to Rex for help because no one else would answer, maybe that would be a little more understandable. Also, this is the mission that ruins Saw’s lungs requiring his need for his oxygen tank, but he doesn’t seem to spend that much time down there, especially since Click-Clack seems alright and it was designed to hill it. I expected one of the canisters to leak on him or something. However, it’s entirely possible that the reason we don’t see Ezra, Kanan, or Rex in R1 is because they all died of Geonosian insecticide. 😉

Saw has a really rough two years leading into R1, losing his legs, going completely mental…
