The Bendu is my absolute favorite part of the Ep. I love how he chuckles when Kanan calls him a force "wielder". It peaks my interest since I've always thought that both Jedi and Sith approach the Force in a negative way. They want to use the force like a tool...the Bendu seems different.
on me I was perplexed because aren't: Force 'Wielders' the same species as the Father, Son & Daughter?? Is that why he chuckled on how Kaanan was either ignorant of their existence or a chuckle in comparison between it and them?? this is really disturbing me he laughed as if the Force Wielders were possibly below it and they follow an outdated way. and He said he was sleeping for a LONG time. How long is LONG for him.and what species is he
He definitely is more passive. I like what the Bendu says about the holocron, that an object can't be good or evil, it's the person. I think that extends to his force abilities...he views the force as neither light nor dark, it just is. He's not trying to gain anything from it like the Sith or Jedi...so his force abilities are neither light nor dark.
When the bendu used the force, it was very natural and fluid. It was almost like he was simply using an extension of his body to interact with theseobjects rather than focusing on manifesting the force to do so. I feel he chuckled because he felt the name force "wielder" was a very foolish term; as no one wields the force, the force is all.
I think Tom Bakers performance as the Bendu was amazing, I just like how they made the Bendu have like an old ghostly voice (Idk how to describe it) from old Doctor Who Eps, Tom Baker is one of my favorite actors from Doctor Who and he just sounded so convincing as the Bendu, I hope he makes more appearances in Rebels.
If you missed, or don't have cable TV go to kiss cartoons. The first episode of season 3 is up in 720 p and the rest of the episodes from season 1 and 2
that scene was similar to the scene from ep3 when anikian and obi wan were desroying all the droids on the bridge (just like ezra killing storm troopers) but letting the nemodioan officers escape in pods.. but the mining base probley didnt have pods and hondo took the shuttle
I don't want to sound contradictory here Alex, but maybe The Phantom was destroyed because it's going to be replace by The Corellian YT-2400 we saw in the first official trailer of season 3 during celebration, I mean it was attached to The Ghost after all.
Okay so there's no doubt that Ezra is turning into Orphan Ani Junior. He is way too egotistic, has rage orgasims, and even has the same posters as him!
I'm calling it: Lothal gets bombarded via orbital strike by the Imperial fleet as part of Thrawn's scheme to have the crew of the Ghost to lose hope in the season 3 finale.
while it was a solid episode and frankly I wholeheartedly like the sparing use of Thrawn, I wish they would have pulled back on the sneak peaks and teasers , they let out half the episode and a LOT of the most important scenes. I hope in future they pull back on the teasers , as they are more spoilers than anything
Oh and Rex won't die. Dave Filoni or someone mentioned that the old guy in ROTJ is Rex, kinda retconning a lot of stuff, so don't expect Rex to die if those statements are true.
Dave said he wants the old guy to be Rex but that doesn't mean it is confirmed because the story group decides the storyline not just Dave. And also I would like to see him and the other clones would have a honorable death like a true soldier.
All I could think when seeing the Bendu and then hearing him speak was: "Ming the Merciless, is that you?" If you understand the reference, good for you.
A-Wing, B-Wing and Y-Wing starfighters did appeared in Star Wars Rebels. I hope T-65 X-Wing starfighter will appear in future episodes of Star Wars Rebels on Disney XD.
I think the x wings won't appear in rebels, as much as I want to see them but they are purchased by the alliance directly if I remember correctly which means the ghost will not get their hands on it
Pretty sure Kiddster in episode 1 descriped Anakin's Pod race by saying 'That's so wizard, Ani.' I think it just means 'that was crazy how you did that thing.' About the Bendu thought, I didn't think it was convenient. 'All things are, as the force wills it.' If you take a force neutral perspective, there's a kind of determinism that takes place. The rebels, specifically Kanan, were meant to be there at that time so Kanan could learn what he needed to in order to progress. Leaving the holocron with the Bendu, I think was wise. Ezra would have tried to find it again. The Bendu said something along the lines of 'No object can change you, unless you let it.' The Bendu is chaotic neutral, I dont think he'll use it negatively or let it effect him. I'm so excited for the rest on the season! Great video!
James Luceno explains at the end of "Star Wars: Tarkin" just after Palpatine appoints Tarkin to the position that "in all dealings with the Emperor he was referred to as 'Grand Moff', but for ordinary interactions with military personnel he retained the honorific 'Governor'. I suspect the showrunners had Pryce substitute "Moff" for "Governor" both to avoid confusing the audience and as a deference to his higher rank within the Imperial hierarchy.
The voice inside the holocron sounds just like Asajj Ventress to me. I think it would be really cool if it was, but also really out of place, being she was never a sith. But something else I've already seen a lot of people forget is that Ezra is also taking responsibility for Kanan's blinding and Ahsoka's death (whether or not she is dead, but presumed dead in this episode). So not only can Kanan not see and has abandonded the crew, but Ahsoka can't even be his back up master because he thinks her death was his fault. I mean, if anything, this is already starting to sound like Anakin's fall. Anakin blamed himself for his mother's death and then massacred a village, the war gave him a LOT of power, saw Padmé was going to die, and then he went out on his own. If anything, this has to be Ezra's fall to the dark side, he takes blame, has power, is afraid of losing his crew, and kind of being on his own.
Hey Alex! I'm not sure if anyone has pointed this out to you, but the poster in Ezra's room that read "Space Wars" can also be seen more clearly on the episode "The Muster Of Chopper Base" from season two when Zeb and Ezra are talking to each other about being gone for awhile. I just thought it would be cool to point out, and I love your channel btw!
3:32 Wizard means good/awesome/brilliant. "The Phantom Menace". KITSTER : (to Anakin) This is so wizard! I'm sure you'll do it this time, Annie. PADME : Do what? KITSTER : Finish the race, of course! PADME : You've never won a race? ANAKIN : Well...not exactly... PADME : Not even finished?!
The Bendu and specifically the mentioning of Ashla and Bogan made me really excited. I love when Star Wars takes the direction of light and dark merely being different in their essence rather than good or evil.

This was an excellent episode, despite he little we saw, Thrawn is just like legends. Now, on an unrelated topic, do you think the "Ezrabine" shippingt will go anywhere? Or if the creator are ever going to do something with Kanan and Hera?
The power Ezra displayed is a dark side power called (Domination), which in basic terms it doesn't follow the rules of the mind trick where it needs a weak minded subject but forcing the subject mind into submission.
One thing I noticed was the Bendu's eyes were the same as Kanan's. Making me ponder the possibilty that the Bendu was also blind or a projection of Kanan's of a sort.
I don't think Rex will die in Rebels. I'm sure you know this, but Pablo Hidalgo has confirmed that the white bearded old rebel soldier on Endor in ep. VI is in fact Rex. This means that Rex is the only character from Rebels (except Leia, Lando etc.) that we know for sure will survive the series
I don't have Disney xd and I wanted to see the episode so thanks for this it makes me feel like I didn't miss anything thanks so much Star Wars explained😀
I felt the same way about the Bendu at first, Alex, but I feel now that it wasn't a coincidence that the rebels established a base on the planet he was on. Perhaps the Bendu, or the force itself, guided the rebels to choose the planet in the first place, knowing that in the future, Kanan would need him. That's what I'm going with until they explain it
I'm surely not the only one who subscribes to the theory that Ezra is the villain in Episode VIII. It would be rewarding to fans of the Rebels series to see the show's ultimate place in the Star Wars Universe, and he's distanced enough from the main story that it wouldn't be intrusive to casual fans, while possibly giving them a reason to check the show out to see the new villain's backstory. By the time VIII happens in the timeline, Ezra would be a few years older than Benicio Del Toro, who still looks old enough to play the part, and the series will be coming to an end long before we even get the first trailer for VIII, so the timing works there too. From a dramatic standpoint, it makes sense and very neatly links the series to the overall storyline, and from a business standpoint, it makes almost too much sense and will definitely bring a whole lot of new fans to Rebels.
Did anyone notice the Episode I reference when the Phantom's engine cut out? It was the exact same sound Anakin's pod racer made when it wouldn't ignite the engine
Ezra has a DL-44 that's awesome. The bendu was really cool. I know it won't happen but I'd rather see Ezra find true balance in the force between light and dark. If I remember correctly that's what the very first Jedi did. They didn't believe in favoring either side. I really want Ezra to be the new Starkiller. His force move just screamed Starkiller. Showing what the force is actually capable of. I hope we see some crazy force techniques. Hearing the old legends terms thrown around was so satisfying. Now I know how hardcore comic fans feel watching superhero movies. All those hours of reading wookiepedia is finally paying off. Maybe We'll even see Grand Admiral Thrawn gather some ysalamir? Apparently "wizard" is a reference to the phantom menace. But I know it from Robot Chicken and it seems like most people in the comment section do as well. All in all this is closer to the Star Wars series I've always wanted to see.
my grips. I think they should have kept Thrawn hidden. He will be an awesome character, but I think they introduced him too earlier. I would have liked to keep him hidden for suspense, then unleash him on TV after Ezra feels he is about to win and then suddenly Thrawn comes in and destroys everything. Would help to show how he will move closer to the dark side. 2nd, I absolutely HATE the fact that he will be permanently blind. A man can have 3 limbs get cut off, burned alive and barely survives and gets a whole new body.... yet they can't develop mechanical eyeballs. 3. I wonder if the one 1 Y-wing which destroyed a tie fighter was using a electrical discharge or something else... it was the only ship that fired back.... but if you're being salvaged why would you keep it armed? anyway, I hope they make this season reallly dark. i understand disney and wanting the good guys to always win... but also think it is a good idea to teach kids "we fall, so we can learn how to stand back up".
I know it's quite similar to his introduction in the Thrawn Trilogy, but I think it could've been handled better. I think the Emperor should be commending and promoting Thrawn on his victories, and then as the call ends, Pryce walks in and asks to recruit him for the mission against the Rebel cells. Rebels did handle his introduction quite well, but I think that wouldve been way cooler, seeing that the Emperor imbues Thrawn with respect, now that we know his obvious hatred for non-human sentients.
Pretty sure Zeb saying that what Ezra did was "pretty wizard" was a reference to Star Wars Robot Chicken, where Darth Vader wants to know why no one says things are 'wizard' meaning cool, anymore.
It was an excellent episode! Tom Baker the Fourth Doctor in the original Doctor Who series as the voice of the Bendu was great. I give the episode five stars out of five.
This episode was all over the place with ranks, so the "Moff Tarkin" bit isn't too surprising, and is frankly not that big a deal compared to the inability of the rebels to decide whether Ezra is a Lieutenant, a Commander, or a Lieutenant-Commander, none of which are the same rank (at least not in contemporary militaries).
The one in the holocron is probably Kreya, she is used to teaching sith in Malachor, and how much more awesome is Dark Ezra, I hope we get an Ezra VS Kanan duel, not that I want either to die, but I really want to see Ezra all the way to the dark side.
I loved the episode!! On what you said on Rex being killed, I don't think he'll be killed since the white bearded guy in Return of the Jedi on Endor was named Rex and thus Canon. That wouldn't fit the continuity. But there may well be such a situation happening with an other ghost crewmember. Great thoughts overall keep on making these every week after every episode. I'll be glad to hear your thoughts on those episodes. Cheers!
Stupid question, is Bendu a name, or a title? That's a fairly important question that I have no answer for. 1. If it's a name, we could be dealing with that specific creature, or something possessing the creature using local fauna for a face-to-face conversation. 2. If it's a title, what exactly does it mean? It could be anything from a voice of a hive mind, someone charged with speaking for a superior via possession, a position of authority, anything really.
The only gripe I have with Thrawn is he seems to be more bloody minded. His original adaptation enjoyed the mental thrill of beating an opponent but he was never bloodthirsty and only took the path of a warrior to get the galaxy ready for the Yuuzhan Vong, and while obviously that is out I would like them to hint at him working to make the galaxy a better place (in his view)
Interesting that you thought about it too, after seeing Rex's all around badassery this episode I was expecting him to die at some point... hope I'm wrong
Unless he was joking (quite possible), Filoni confirmed earlier that Rex would live to participate in the battle of Endor (white-bearded rebel soldier in the movie). If this is true, Ezra won't be killing him anytime soon and likely ever.
Question, are the colored squares on all Imperial Officer uniforms representative of their given rank? If so, does that mean Pryce and Tarkin are of equivalent rank in the military? They share the same 6 blue squares over 3 red (left) and 3 yellow (right) squares. And yet, Tarkin is the Grand Moff, while Pryce is a Governor.
If I remember right I believe that Pablo Hidalgo tweeted that Rex was apart of Han Solo's strike team in ROTJ. The guy with the white beard. So that should put to bed your fears of Ezra killing Rex.
I have to disagree with you on wanting more Thrawn this episode. I LOVE Thrawn, don't get me wrong, but from a fan standpoint, he could have just been mentioned in the episode and his appearance saved for a couple episodes in, while the aftermath of the Season 2 finale was worked out. Having both Thrawn AND the Bendu in this episode was way too much from the previews released to this point, and a small cameo or even no appearance at all would have had a MUCH bigger impact a couple episodes in. Let the Imperials who are acting like buffoons do it a couple more times, then Gov. Price can go to Tarkin to get Thrawn's help. I'm happy he's in, but they couldn't hold him back just 2 episodes? I don't know about Dave Filoni's decision there.
I thought I had read somewhere that the Star Wars story team decided to make it a part of canon that the older, white-bearded rebel soldier in ROTJ was Rex. If that is true, we don't need to worry about them killing him in Rebels; because he survives at least to the battle of Endor. Did they not make that a part of Canon?
I distinctly remember the first episode of the zygerian arc use that freighter. Are you sure it was used across the galaxy? I don't remember any other faction using it
I felt a little that Ezra's dark side choices were a little forced and also the idea of Kanan using the force to see was kind of obvious and silly how he wasn't getting it. I may be over criticizing, but overall I liked it and can't wait for more to come
im surprised you didn't mention how Ezra was willing to potentially kill thousands when he took out the power to the imperial facility showing how darker he become
The Bendu is my absolute favorite part of the Ep. I love how he chuckles when Kanan calls him a force "wielder". It peaks my interest since I've always thought that both Jedi and Sith approach the Force in a negative way. They want to use the force like a tool...the Bendu seems different.

^ I like that explanation. He chuckled because no one wields the force...I really like that.
I don't care if he is good or evil or neither, I just care that Tom Baker is in Star Wars!
That was wizard! I'M BRINGING IT BACK!
I laughed a lot more then I should have when Zeb said that line
Still waiting for continuation on that song for Orders 19-65.
THAT'S WIZARD ANI!!!
let's bring it back FOR VADER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+AZNXXXful14 You didn't get the PDF? xD
I thought Zeb's "wizard" line was a callback to Kitster telling Anakin "that's so wizard" in TPM. The starwars.com team has a thing for Kitster
I remembered robot chicken
IM BRINGING IT BACK!- robot chicken darth vader
The Kitster meme was born on RFR
doesn't matter, what matters is where people remember it from.
The "wizard" line is a reference to Robot Chicken FWI
nope its a reference to the original star wars bruh
"I'm bringing it back!" Vader.
I never heard that in A New Hope.
it was in the phantom menace.
Elijah Blechman yeah sorry i messed up it was on episode 1 anakin said it i believe
I think Tom Bakers performance as the Bendu was amazing, I just like how they made the Bendu have like an old ghostly voice (Idk how to describe it) from old Doctor Who Eps, Tom Baker is one of my favorite actors from Doctor Who and he just sounded so convincing as the Bendu, I hope he makes more appearances in Rebels.
If you missed, or don't have cable TV go to kiss cartoons. The first episode of season 3 is up in 720 p and the rest of the episodes from season 1 and 2
The Meaty Clangles iTunes for 1080p
Question!!!!! DID ADMIRIAL TITUS DIE WHEN THE MINING PLACE BLEW UP??? Ezra Let Him and 2 Officers Escape but hondo took the shuttle!
that scene was similar to the scene from ep3 when anikian and obi wan were desroying all the droids on the bridge (just like ezra killing storm troopers) but letting the nemodioan officers escape in pods.. but the mining base probley didnt have pods and hondo took the shuttle
Probably, Unless There Was More Mining Guild TIEs There...
but officers probley dont know how to use the ties...
If you didn't see the body they never died probably, I'd like to see more of Titus he's a cool overly ambitious officer
Watch till 8:29 he is alive
"Wizard" is a reference to Kitster in The Phantom Menace
THEY'RE BRINGING IT BACK!
it could also be a reference to robot chicken as well.
Pink Love i like to think that it refrences both robot chicken and episode one
I definitely think Kallus is definitely going to end up defecting to the rebels
You must feel pretty smart right now then
the bendu was kind of cool but all I was saying in my head was THRAWN THRAWN THRAWN
Anyone else wanna see Ezra shoot lightning 😊
I'm in
"To use Force Lightning one must first feel it's pain.." or was it something like that
What about "Force Repulse"?
Or Ezra using "Force Crush" to crush a walker, or Max out his "force Pull" to take a ISD down from orbit. Just like Star Killer
Force Lightning or Electric Judgement?
I don't want to sound contradictory here Alex, but maybe The Phantom was destroyed because it's going to be replace by The Corellian YT-2400 we saw in the first official trailer of season 3 during celebration, I mean it was attached to The Ghost after all.
You're not being contradictory haha
Phantom is replaced by a refitted separatist shuttle
why is the phantom important?? I thought there main ship was the ghost??
It doesn't have to be destroyed, maybe they just upgraded
+Dantick09 it got destroyed in the episode bro.
Shit, man, I wanna see Rex fight Cody to the DEATH!
YESH!!!!
even if its not to death it will be a glorious carl vs charles muntz old people fight
And Cody is going to win ;D
Omega after they both crack their backs and can't move XD
the pod racing poster was in the clone wars episode The Rise of Clovis in anakins quarters
Okay so there's no doubt that Ezra is turning into Orphan Ani Junior. He is way too egotistic, has rage orgasims, and even has the same posters as him!
I'm calling it: Lothal gets bombarded via orbital strike by the Imperial fleet as part of Thrawn's scheme to have the crew of the Ghost to lose hope in the season 3 finale.
I think the rebels are going to use the y wings to bomb the imperial factory's on lothal
while it was a solid episode and frankly I wholeheartedly like the sparing use of Thrawn, I wish they would have pulled back on the sneak peaks and teasers , they let out half the episode and a LOT of the most important scenes. I hope in future they pull back on the teasers , as they are more spoilers than anything
Oh and Rex won't die. Dave Filoni or someone mentioned that the old guy in ROTJ is Rex, kinda retconning a lot of stuff, so don't expect Rex to die if those statements are true.
***** This season Hera is gonna die I think. But the end of the series thoguh, Kanan and Ezra need to die to keep what obi wan said in ep 4 true.
Dave said he wants the old guy to be Rex but that doesn't mean it is confirmed because the story group decides the storyline not just Dave.
And also I would like to see him and the other clones would have a honorable death like a true soldier.
The wizard line was, pretty wizard, ie call back to young Anakin who spoke the same line in Phantom Meneace
THEY'RE BRINGING IT BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It had better become zeb's new catchphrase
All I could think when seeing the Bendu and then hearing him speak was:
"Ming the Merciless, is that you?"
If you understand the reference, good for you.
"That's pretty wizard" "what?" "IM BRINGING IT BACK"
A-Wing, B-Wing and Y-Wing starfighters did appeared in Star Wars Rebels. I hope T-65 X-Wing starfighter will appear in future episodes of Star Wars Rebels on Disney XD.
Yeah all we're missing is the introduction/appearance of the x-wings and its officially the rebel alliance!
1carperiii
Same here.
I think the x wings won't appear in rebels, as much as I want to see them but they are purchased by the alliance directly if I remember correctly which means the ghost will not get their hands on it
Pretty sure Kiddster in episode 1 descriped Anakin's Pod race by saying 'That's so wizard, Ani.' I think it just means 'that was crazy how you did that thing.'
About the Bendu thought, I didn't think it was convenient. 'All things are, as the force wills it.' If you take a force neutral perspective, there's a kind of determinism that takes place.

I'm so excited for the rest on the season! Great video!
James Luceno explains at the end of "Star Wars: Tarkin" just after Palpatine appoints Tarkin to the position that "in all dealings with the Emperor he was referred to as 'Grand Moff', but for ordinary interactions with military personnel he retained the honorific 'Governor'. I suspect the showrunners had Pryce substitute "Moff" for "Governor" both to avoid confusing the audience and as a deference to his higher rank within the Imperial hierarchy.
I figured it out snoke is Harambe
Irrelevant, but you might be onto something
I think so too
And Rey's father is Hugh Mungus
7:37 In the Clone Wars series, Anakin had the same poster in his room but showed Sebulba as well as Ben Quadinaros in the picture.
The voice inside the holocron sounds just like Asajj Ventress to me. I think it would be really cool if it was, but also really out of place, being she was never a sith.
But something else I've already seen a lot of people forget is that Ezra is also taking responsibility for Kanan's blinding and Ahsoka's death (whether or not she is dead, but presumed dead in this episode). So not only can Kanan not see and has abandonded the crew, but Ahsoka can't even be his back up master because he thinks her death was his fault. I mean, if anything, this is already starting to sound like Anakin's fall. Anakin blamed himself for his mother's death and then massacred a village, the war gave him a LOT of power, saw Padmé was going to die, and then he went out on his own. If anything, this has to be Ezra's fall to the dark side, he takes blame, has power, is afraid of losing his crew, and kind of being on his own.
I literally had a tear run down my face when the phantom was destroyed
Hey Alex! I'm not sure if anyone has pointed this out to you, but the poster in Ezra's room that read "Space Wars" can also be seen more clearly on the episode "The Muster Of Chopper Base" from season two when Zeb and Ezra are talking to each other about being gone for awhile. I just thought it would be cool to point out, and I love your channel btw!
In my opinion it's mother talson in the holocron
I never thought of that.I think it might be true.
i heard the voice if ventriss if that how you spell her name
but she doesn't use the force. She uses magic and she is not the sith
kisscartoon.me/Cartoon/Star-Wars-Rebels-Season-3
No it's a holocron belonging to a ancient Sith Lord named Darth Traya in opinion
3:32
Wizard means good/awesome/brilliant.
"The Phantom Menace".
KITSTER : (to Anakin) This is so wizard! I'm sure you'll do it this time, Annie.
PADME : Do what?
KITSTER : Finish the race, of course!
PADME : You've never won a race?
ANAKIN : Well...not exactly...
PADME : Not even finished?!
when you heard the word "Wizard" gives me a flashback to the Robot Chicken Star Wars Special episode. xD
Ezra's getting a little too edgy...he needs to take a chill pill
Yeah. 2edgy4me
Ezra is going full Arthas
He can't wake up
Hey at least he isn't killed Kanan... Yet
Carlos Lopez Very true. The fact that Kanan wasn't really there for him I feel tempted Ezra to use the holocron even more
The Bendu and specifically the mentioning of Ashla and Bogan made me really excited. I love when Star Wars takes the direction of light and dark merely being different in their essence rather than good or evil.
This was an excellent episode, despite he little we saw, Thrawn is just like legends.
Now, on an unrelated topic, do you think the "Ezrabine" shippingt will go anywhere? Or if the creator are ever going to do something with Kanan and Hera?
The creators confirmed Hera and Kanan are a thing, but Ezra and Sabine won't go anywhere.
Season 3 premiere was amazing!!!! I loved thrawn!
"Everyone's favorite Chiss Grand Admiral"
My thoughts: How many Chiss Grand Admirals are there?
only one im sure
The power Ezra displayed is a dark side power called (Domination), which in basic terms it doesn't follow the rules of the mind trick where it needs a weak minded subject
but forcing the subject mind into submission.
Luke: "wizard?" Vader slides on his legs "IM BRINGIN IT BACK!"
Ezra has a poster of Ben Quadinaros in his room at 3:55! by the time that Rebels takes place, that's gotta be a collector's item!
I think the voice in the holocron sounds like Mother Talzin, it would be weird but the voice is really similar
Throughout the episode I kept thinking that the bendu sounded familiar, I waited until the credits to confirm my thoughts. Tom baker is in Star Wars.
Thrawns voice is just sooooooo damn fitting
Glad to have Rebels back, as well as your reviews and analysis.
How did you get this review out so fast? I'm amazed, thank you!
Oh ok. I watched when it was on TV for me, but thanks for the explanation
Yeah, apparently it aired on Disney XD (I think on the website) earlier today
It's been on the XD app like 6 hrs before it was on tv
I didn't know that thanks
I think/reallllly hope that ezra is gonna be starkiller
One thing I noticed was the Bendu's eyes were the same as Kanan's. Making me ponder the possibilty that the Bendu was also blind or a projection of Kanan's of a sort.
I don't think Rex will die in Rebels. I'm sure you know this, but Pablo Hidalgo has confirmed that the white bearded old rebel soldier on Endor in ep. VI is in fact Rex. This means that Rex is the only character from Rebels (except Leia, Lando etc.) that we know for sure will survive the series
You're Star Wars explained yet you don't the Wizard reference?!?!?!?
I know what wizard is. That's why I think it's out of character for Zeb to say it.
he means kitster!
That was pretty wizard guys.... IM BRINGING IT BACK!
LOL I know I was joking but you're right because it makes Zeb seem less tough.
Wat
I don't have Disney xd and I wanted to see the episode so thanks for this it makes me feel like I didn't miss anything thanks so much Star Wars explained😀
You can easily watch it online.
Oh ok thanks
+ER9 Riches go to kisscartoon its there
+Keromatsu thanks a lot😀
Do any of u guys know when the next episode is?
haha i see what you did there with the Sherlock reference :D
I felt the same way about the Bendu at first, Alex, but I feel now that it wasn't a coincidence that the rebels established a base on the planet he was on. Perhaps the Bendu, or the force itself, guided the rebels to choose the planet in the first place, knowing that in the future, Kanan would need him. That's what I'm going with until they explain it
I'm surely not the only one who subscribes to the theory that Ezra is the villain in Episode VIII.
It would be rewarding to fans of the Rebels series to see the show's ultimate place in the Star Wars Universe, and he's distanced enough from the main story that it wouldn't be intrusive to casual fans, while possibly giving them a reason to check the show out to see the new villain's backstory.
By the time VIII happens in the timeline, Ezra would be a few years older than Benicio Del Toro, who still looks old enough to play the part, and the series will be coming to an end long before we even get the first trailer for VIII, so the timing works there too.
From a dramatic standpoint, it makes sense and very neatly links the series to the overall storyline, and from a business standpoint, it makes almost too much sense and will definitely bring a whole lot of new fans to Rebels.
Wizard was also said by kitster in episode 1. THEY'RE BRINGING IT BACK.
How come nobody says wizard anymore??
this episode gave me an empire strikes back feel. With the heroes kinda struggling, a mentor. the in the cloud station.
I got chills when they said that the Y-Wings hype drives where gone, and the star destroy comes out of hyper space. I immediately thought Thrawn
Did anyone notice the Episode I reference when the Phantom's engine cut out? It was the exact same sound Anakin's pod racer made when it wouldn't ignite the engine
Ezra has a DL-44 that's awesome.
The bendu was really cool. I know it won't happen but I'd rather see Ezra find true balance in the force between light and dark. If I remember correctly that's what the very first Jedi did. They didn't believe in favoring either side. I really want Ezra to be the new Starkiller. His force move just screamed Starkiller. Showing what the force is actually capable of. I hope we see some crazy force techniques.
Hearing the old legends terms thrown around was so satisfying. Now I know how hardcore comic fans feel watching superhero movies. All those hours of reading wookiepedia is finally paying off. Maybe We'll even see Grand Admiral Thrawn gather some ysalamir?
Apparently "wizard" is a reference to the phantom menace. But I know it from Robot Chicken and it seems like most people in the comment section do as well.
All in all this is closer to the Star Wars series I've always wanted to see.
I think the "bendu" we see in the episode is actually an animal that the bendu himself is speaking through.
I suspect the information leading to the base where wedge defects with his squadron is given to the rebels by Agent Kallus
my grips. I think they should have kept Thrawn hidden. He will be an awesome character, but I think they introduced him too earlier. I would have liked to keep him hidden for suspense, then unleash him on TV after Ezra feels he is about to win and then suddenly Thrawn comes in and destroys everything. Would help to show how he will move closer to the dark side. 2nd, I absolutely HATE the fact that he will be permanently blind. A man can have 3 limbs get cut off, burned alive and barely survives and gets a whole new body.... yet they can't develop mechanical eyeballs. 3. I wonder if the one 1 Y-wing which destroyed a tie fighter was using a electrical discharge or something else... it was the only ship that fired back.... but if you're being salvaged why would you keep it armed? anyway, I hope they make this season reallly dark. i understand disney and wanting the good guys to always win... but also think it is a good idea to teach kids "we fall, so we can learn how to stand back up".
Things I noticed:
There's an owl drawing on Sabine's left shoulder. Is it new?
Bendu is voiced by Tom Baker.
the reference to wizard is a kickback to kitster they are always raving about him on the star wars show so i bet that was a nod to them
I know it's quite similar to his introduction in the Thrawn Trilogy, but I think it could've been handled better. I think the Emperor should be commending and promoting Thrawn on his victories, and then as the call ends, Pryce walks in and asks to recruit him for the mission against the Rebel cells. Rebels did handle his introduction quite well, but I think that wouldve been way cooler, seeing that the Emperor imbues Thrawn with respect, now that we know his obvious hatred for non-human sentients.
Your videos are so good I watch the whole commercial.
Pretty sure Zeb saying that what Ezra did was "pretty wizard" was a reference to Star Wars Robot Chicken, where Darth Vader wants to know why no one says things are 'wizard' meaning cool, anymore.
It was an excellent episode! Tom Baker the Fourth Doctor in the original Doctor Who series as the voice of the Bendu was great. I give the episode five stars out of five.
This episode was all over the place with ranks, so the "Moff Tarkin" bit isn't too surprising, and is frankly not that big a deal compared to the inability of the rebels to decide whether Ezra is a Lieutenant, a Commander, or a Lieutenant-Commander, none of which are the same rank (at least not in contemporary militaries).
The one in the holocron is probably Kreya, she is used to teaching sith in Malachor, and how much more awesome is Dark Ezra, I hope we get an Ezra VS Kanan duel, not that I want either to die, but I really want to see Ezra all the way to the dark side.
I loved the episode!! On what you said on Rex being killed, I don't think he'll be killed since the white bearded guy in Return of the Jedi on Endor was named Rex and thus Canon. That wouldn't fit the continuity. But there may well be such a situation happening with an other ghost crewmember. Great thoughts overall keep on making these every week after every episode. I'll be glad to hear your thoughts on those episodes. Cheers!
Stupid question, is Bendu a name, or a title? That's a fairly important question that I have no answer for.
1. If it's a name, we could be dealing with that specific creature, or something possessing the creature using local fauna for a face-to-face conversation.
2. If it's a title, what exactly does it mean? It could be anything from a voice of a hive mind, someone charged with speaking for a superior via possession, a position of authority, anything really.
The only gripe I have with Thrawn is he seems to be more bloody minded. His original adaptation enjoyed the mental thrill of beating an opponent but he was never bloodthirsty and only took the path of a warrior to get the galaxy ready for the Yuuzhan Vong, and while obviously that is out I would like them to hint at him working to make the galaxy a better place (in his view)
Ezra can't get Rex killed because Rex has a canon appearance (albeit extremely retconned XD) in Return of the Jedi. Great episode btw :D
Interesting that you thought about it too, after seeing Rex's all around badassery this episode I was expecting him to die at some point... hope I'm wrong
it wasn't on TV at 8.30 on the 24th of September in Ireland for some reason????? ?
Unless he was joking (quite possible), Filoni confirmed earlier that Rex would live to participate in the battle of Endor (white-bearded rebel soldier in the movie). If this is true, Ezra won't be killing him anytime soon and likely ever.
I think the lucasfilm story group confirmed Rex is actually the old man soldier in the battle of endor so he is not dying in rebels
Question, are the colored squares on all Imperial Officer uniforms representative of their given rank? If so, does that mean Pryce and Tarkin are of equivalent rank in the military? They share the same 6 blue squares over 3 red (left) and 3 yellow (right) squares.
And yet, Tarkin is the Grand Moff, while Pryce is a Governor.
Idk if it was me, but the holocron sounded like Assaj was speaking out of it. Just my thought though.
yeah i find it conveniant to that the bendu is on lothal
Did anyone else nerd out when they saw the Ben Quadrinaros poster in Ezra's room?? No? Just me? ahhh..
Great video love for you to do more like this
If I remember right I believe that Pablo Hidalgo tweeted that Rex was apart of Han Solo's strike team in ROTJ. The guy with the white beard. So that should put to bed your fears of Ezra killing Rex.
I have to disagree with you on wanting more Thrawn this episode. I LOVE Thrawn, don't get me wrong, but from a fan standpoint, he could have just been mentioned in the episode and his appearance saved for a couple episodes in, while the aftermath of the Season 2 finale was worked out. Having both Thrawn AND the Bendu in this episode was way too much from the previews released to this point, and a small cameo or even no appearance at all would have had a MUCH bigger impact a couple episodes in. Let the Imperials who are acting like buffoons do it a couple more times, then Gov. Price can go to Tarkin to get Thrawn's help. I'm happy he's in, but they couldn't hold him back just 2 episodes? I don't know about Dave Filoni's decision there.
I thought I had read somewhere that the Star Wars story team decided to make it a part of canon that the older, white-bearded rebel soldier in ROTJ was Rex. If that is true, we don't need to worry about them killing him in Rebels; because he survives at least to the battle of Endor. Did they not make that a part of Canon?
Am I the only person that noticed the mining guild was using a zygerian cargo freighter?
nope
No but I was like
I've seen that ship before
I distinctly remember the first episode of the zygerian arc use that freighter. Are you sure it was used across the galaxy? I don't remember any other faction using it
Oh, never mind. Just looked it up
It's unlikely, but I think that the voice in the holocron belongs to Kreia, or Darth Traya as she's known as.
in the shot 4:02 you can see a tie defender
I felt a little that Ezra's dark side choices were a little forced and also the idea of Kanan using the force to see was kind of obvious and silly how he wasn't getting it. I may be over criticizing, but overall I liked it and can't wait for more to come
i hate how they easily they got rid of the sith holocron so easily
If you watched the preview for next week, the holocron is still in play.
oh it'll come back forsure
The Holocron sounds like Asaaj Ventress.
Rex survives all the way past return of the Jedi. I believe is what was stated.
how come no one says wizard any more
-darth Vader robot chicken
thoroughly loved it. Thrawn is awesome
Lol the bendu is 4 min walking distance from the rebel base.
Ahsoka was only mentioned once in the entire episode.
I wonder if governor price and grand moff Tarkin have a untold history together?
im surprised you didn't mention how Ezra was willing to potentially kill thousands when he took out the power to the imperial facility showing how darker he become
where do you watch this show at? i wanna start from season 1
oh those blure blaster bolts from the y-wings gives me so much nostalgia # bringtheclonewarsback
