There is the whole Deus ex Will of the Force they could pull out.
I love how kanan was killed
It certainly wasnāt the most exciting Season Premier ever, but it was still a fantastic episode.
[spoiler]Thrawn. Goodness he was perfect. Upright saying that Phoenix Squadron wasnāt the entirety of the rebel fleet and to let them escape was exactly what the character would do in the books. Iām sold (not that I ever doubted). Tom Baker as The Docā¦ err, Bendu was cool. When Kanan left the Sith Holocron with Bendu, making him laugh, I couldnāt help thinking that Bendu was basically The Doctor in a giant troll body. Hondo was great, as usual. Him saying āAnother successful adventure!ā at the end was great. I like the idea that the Empire has dismissed the āJedi Leadershipā entirely, and that they think that theyāve been eradicated. It was nice seeing Tarkin back, and Iām intrigued by this Governor Price character. Overall I was very happy with this episode and Iām excited for more. I just have one question: WHERE DID EZRA GET A NEW KYBER CRYSTAL!!! Please explain show! Please explain!
Also, did anyone notice the Millennium Falcon poster in Ezraās Room? [/spoiler]
Itās entirely possible he took it from that lightsaber on Malachor.
OK, so I finally watched the premiere a few days ago! Here are my thoughts:
[spoiler] All right, so Iām definitely sad that Ezraās taking steps down a dark pathāhowever, itās being done really well, so I canāt complain. The whole scene with him controlling the AT-DP Pilot was perfectly ominous, and that look he gave after it was over actually scared me. I understand his intentionsāhis friends have been hurt, and he feels responsible. Maybe dipping into the Dark Side isnāt so bad, if it results in a greater good. But itās a dangerous path, and heās the kind of person most likely to be swayed too far by the allure of evil.
Speaking of evil, hooray for Thrawn! His introduction was interestingāvery calm, and without much build-up. TBH, that actually felt more fitting than his introduction in the trailer. While that wasāto use his wordsāāartistically done,ā this one felt more in line with his character, subdued but imposing. I almost wish I hadnāt seen the trailer or heard the news of his arrival before I watched this episodeāI would love to know what my reaction would have been to seeing him walk out of the shadows with Pryce, having no knowledge of what was about to happen. Other than that, I felt he was introduced well. Already we can see the gears in his head working on his master scheme, and it was great to watch Admiral Constantine get so befuddled when Thrawn told Pryce to let the rebels escape.
OK, on to other things. I was intrigued by Bendu and his scene with Kanan. I had heard reports that he was going to be more of an evil characterāand him now possessing the Sith Holocron makes that a possibilityābut I was glad that he served a more mentoring role at first. I also totally bought into Kananās struggles with blindness, mostly due to Freddie Prinze Jrās. incredible acting skills.
The other characters kind of took a back door here, but thatās OK, considering the entire season ahead of us, and the fact that a few of them (Hera and Sabine, mainly) seem to be stepping into more functioning roles this season.
The scene that really got me in this episode, though, was the scene where Kanan rescued Ezra. The symbolism was amazing, with Kananāthe character who is now forever āin the darkāāreaching out from the light to Ezraāwho can see clearly, but is trapped in the darkness. That, combined with the well-placed use of the Force Theme, made the scene a very emotionally charged one. I think that as long as Kanan is around, Ezra will stay in the light. If Kanan dies, Ezra will almost certainly turn dark, even if he can contact Kananās Force Ghost. [/spoiler]
In general, while it might not have been as intense as last seasonās premiere (which is the best one simply because of Vader), this episode was a nice way of getting back into Rebels. It was cool to see how everyone has grown (Iām still not used to how tall Ezra is now), and I look forward to more of his and Kananās inner conflictsāand, of course, Thrawn!
ok, when maul said āHe Livesā I think we all now know whos showing up later this season
Savage? Because heās very much dead, last time I checked.
its Obi-Wan
Oh duh. (Taps head) Iām totally smart guys. Totallyā¦
But the Twin Suns was definitely Tatooine, and I am hopeful to see Obi Wan. Also the whole thing with Sabine was interesting. I hope we learn more about the siege of Mandalore this season, since Bo Katan is coming back. AND SINCE WEāLL NEVER BE GETTING THOSE EPISODES. DISNEY IāM TOTALLY NOT BLAMING YOU. NOOOOOOOOOO.
[spoiler] TBH, the whole scene with the merging Holocrons really encapsulates everything that is amazing about Star Wars. There are so many ways we can interpret Ezra and Maulās visionāitās like reading a Shakespeare play in modern times. On one side, we have Ezra seeking the key to the destruction of the Sith, which is either Anakin or Luke, depending on your POV. Both came from Tatooine, and thus Ezra finds exactly what he is looking for either way. Then you have Maul on the other side, seeking hopeāor, rather, to quote Leia, āthe only hopeāāwhich is Obi-Wan, who is also on Tatooine.
I was just watching a reaction video to this episode online where this topic was brought up, and I think that itās fairly likely that the entire prophecy of the Chosen One came from the merging of two Holocrons. Bendu clearly referenced prior instances of this type of vergence in the Force, and Anakin was also described similarly by Qui-Gon Jinn. It all comes together so seamlessly. This is why Dave Filoni is supervising Lucasfilmās animated showsāhe knows his stuff, and he has the ability to make it work. [/spoiler]
Oh gosh. That sounds likely.
Itās these things that make Star Wars my favorite story as a whole.
I must catch up on Rebels. I stopped watching mid season 1 because my cable was cut and then I never picked up again. This will probably continue for a while, so I should probably restart too.
pirate it online
I have cable again
weather i pirate depends on if they have all the episodes
The first half of the first season isnāt really that great, so Iād recommend picking up where you left off. If you donāt remember where you left off, Iād say the episode āEmpire Dayā is a good place to start.
iSee. I think the reason I never resumed Rebels was because of how I didnāt really love the first half of season 1, but since it got a lot better, Iāll try to watch it again. I probably will start on Empire Day
All right, after watching this weekās episode, Iām pretty confident that Kallus is the new Fulcrum . I felt this way when the trailer came out and showed a new secret agent, based on the tone and cadence of the voice, but his actions in this episode make me almost certain.
Other than that, the episode was pretty goodānothing major or revelatory about it, but it wasnāt bad. Iām looking forward to seeing whether or not Wedge and Hobbie stick around for the season, or if theyāll be shipped away mysteriously in an episode or two .
Not as much development for Sabine this time around as I would have liked, but any solo time with her is good in my book.
Pretty much my thoughts.
Also:
I HAD TO PIRATE IT BECAUSE I MISSED IT FOR NO REASON MY GOSH.
Yeah, the way New Fulcrum speaks sounds EXACTLY like that character. At least with Ahsoka there was some more voice muddling, but with New Fulcrum it just sounds slightly staticy.
general do donnas fleet
