As seen in Star Wars Rebels, Kanan Jarrus, Ezra Bridger, and Ahsoka Tano travel to the planet in search of a way to defeat the Inquisitors. During

Loth-cats aren’t much help when you’re attempting to decipher an ancient star map, but they are good at napping on your favorite chair. And shelf. And desk. As the days turn cooler and the leaves begin to fall this Halloween season, think about cozying up your place with a lounging Loth-cat on the table just like Sabine Wren. This do-it-yourself pumpkin craft might be as close as you can get to having your very own iconic Star Wars pet in our galaxy!

While you’ll need some patience for this DIY, you can rewatch some of your favorite Ahsoka episodes while you’re waiting for everything to dry. Let’s get to it!
