Yeah Kenobi takes places well before Rebels which is why a lot of us freaked out in Kenobi when it looked like they killed the Grand Inquisiter. Also I would recommend for your next video to watch the first four episodes of season 2. They are 2 episode arcs.

Rebels-era Ahsoka is my favorite version of the character. I love the way she looks and I love the way she acts. It's like seeing that annoying little kid you met years ago become a solid, dependable and centered adult who really took advantage of all the lessons life threw at them. She's the best.
For those who watched the series around when it came out, at the time there hadn't been the final season of Clone Wars, and no Mandalorian, so we really had no idea what had happened to her. There had been some speculation that the symbol shown for Fulcrum was patterned after her markings.
@@kingofthemooners09 Rebels was the first use of it post clone wars. Its been heavily hinted at that Ashoka with Bail created the fulcum network that feeds info to the rebellion.

Everyone thought Rebels S1 E4 Fighter Flight was a filler episode, but the stolen TIE fighter from Fighter Flight is crucial for the season finale Fire Across the Galaxy. After watching the complete Rebels series and re-watching the earlier seasons, I came to realize that there were no filler episodes. Every episode contributes to the overall story arc, even if it is not apparent how the episode matters on the first viewing.
@@Darth_Mornabin This is true, while some start worse than others none that I can think of got worse as they went on, only better. Especially clone wars.
@@ckmoore101 Mandalorian: In my opinion absolutely. Season 1 wasn‘t good in my opinion. Obi Wan: True, the beginning was the best part. Solo was a movie, not a tv show.
@@Darth_Mornabin Everyone knows Mandalorian season 1 was the best, season 2 fell off, but ended well on last episode. And season 3 was terrible. And Obiwan was terrible to start, and did not improve.
Not to mention, Ezra was born the day the Empire was. Luke and Leia were born that day or the next, as I understand it. All 3 are within 2 days of the same age.
A moment I really love in this, is when Kanan tells the GI that now he has nothing left to fear, the GI shows him respect and salutes Kanan. Which Kanan then returns the gesture. Such a great unspoken detail that we really don’t get in the films. Respect amongst enemies.
it really makes you think what the gi motivations truly were cause he was so one dimensional evil but then you have a bunch of scenes where he shows utter respect to kanan and if anything is trying to encourage him to reach his full potential, its like hes a sith but also knew his role and that kanan had another purpose in this life, its escpecially apparent when he shows up in kanans force vision in the temple
The reason Force users don't constantly throw each other around is because they are also using the Force to defend themselves. You need to break their guard or catch them unprepared in order to successfully effect them. That's why we only ever see them get thrown, lifted, or choked after they've been worn down, surprised, or completely overpowered (like when Ventress choked Anakin and Obi-wan in a moment of pure rage and desperation after being abandoned by Dukoo). Even Vader more often resorts to throwing objects rather than trying to directly effect his opponent, as we seen in the fight against Luke in Cloud City. As for when this takes place, I'm sure you've already realized by the time you see this, but Ezra and Luke are actually the same age. Luke was 19 at the time of A New Hope so that should help you nail down the chronology.
22:15 It’s not stated in movies or shows directly, but force users have a passive Force Wall which usually can tank or null telekinetic Force powers like Push or Pull. But it’s strength depends on how strong the user is. And if can’t consistently break through an opponent’s Force Wall, it always devolves into a physical contest hence why most draw their Lightsabers.
I think there is one time we can actually see somewhat in practice that would be during the fight on Mustafar in Revenge of the Sith. Specifically I'm talking about the moment in the control room literally try pushing each other around
To me this show is all about the season/series finales. Some of the episodes that seem a little like side quests are tied in with those; not to say there aren't great one-offs. They're not stingy with cameos. When you get to the series finale, everything (more or less) makes sense. This finale introduces us to his charisma with the radio broadcast and expect that to continue to be a thing. The role of the jedi and the nature of jedi power are a big part of the show.
Me rubbing my hands as I hear Holden say "this has been a fun season, I'm excited for season 2. I'm hoping we can crank it up a little bit, this was a really good season, but I really hope we get into some Star Wars greatness."
Judging from the visual effect of his blaster, I think Ezra may have designed it ONLY to stun. It doesn't have that cool "ring" effect that Star Wars uses for stunners, but the whole shocking around the body seems to indicate it.
The opening scene in the finale was a reference to a short involving Sabine infiltrating that same base that came out before the show, that's why she was acting like she knew the troopers
17:45 The opening scene in episode 15 - Sabine's taunts about them "missing her" and how they have "got a little better" while she has "got a lot better" - as well as the troopers comments that "The Artist is back" and "not again..." - This whole scene is a callback to a short teaser that was released before the series started, where Sabine broke into that same base and humiliated the troopers while planting paint bombs on all the fighters - pretty much the exact same scene.
That was one of my biggest problems in the Kenobi show. The fake out death of the Grand Inquisitor pissed me off because it is such an important moment in rebels. Kanan finally overcomes his fear and in doing so defeats the Inquisitor. His fake death in Kenobi severely undermines it.
It doesn't. Any Star Wars fan who watched Rebels before would know he didn't die and the people who didn't watched would get a nice surprise in episode 5 of Obi Wan Kenobi series. Plus it all ties into the general idea that dark sider users can fuel their hatred to survive the most types of grievous wounds. Seems to me you are just making excuses to hate on the show.
@@GattsBerserkArmor THANK YOU! I have been saying this for months! The Kenobi Series was so grounded in the Lore and Themes of the Franchise that the only people who didn't like it clearly never actually liked Star Wars and were looking for a reason to hate it.
Force users of a certain caliber of power have resistance to manipulation by lower force users. Like Ezra probably couldn't push Yoda of a ledge due to the extreme gap in their power status. That's probably why Kanan couldn't just simply push the Grand Inquisitor of the bridge.
About the force push thing. Jedi and sith are taught to use a force field to protect themselves from force attacks. It takes a LOT of focus tough so weaker fighters still can be attacked with the force. Also rebels season one takes place 15 years after episode 3 and order 66 and kenobi takes place 10 years after episode 33. Ahsoka is about 32 years old now. Ezra is 15 in season 1. He is actually just 3 days older than luke and leia.

"There are worst things than Death" You know your enemy is bad ass level when they say things like that. God Jason Issacs would have been such a better Live Action Grand Inquisitor
dude, best descition they ever did financially aswell. I'm sure that there are so many fans of star wars willing to pay to see it when it comes out. :)
Hey, Holden and Jen! "Obi-Wan Kenobi" occurs in 10 BBY. "Rebels" begins in 4 BBY. There are 4 "Rebels" shorts that occur in 5 BBY which precede the series. Sabine was taunting the guards patrolling the TIE depot about their improvement because she had previously vandalized and sabotaged that same yard in one of the shorts. The TIE that Sabine had painted was the one Ezra and Zeb had stolen in the fourth episode when Hera had sent them to shop for fruit.
The easiest way to keep the timeline straight, is to remember that Luke, Leia and Ezra are the same age. I don't recall Leia's exact age in the Kenobi series, or if they even mention it, but my guess is she's between 6-8 years old, which places Rebels, 7-9 years after the events of Kenobi, since we know from the Empire Day celebration episode, that Ezra is 15 at this point. Great to see you enjoying this series straight out of the gate, because as with Clone Wars, it just keeps getting better and better.
I really liked the family dynamic element of the show. Kanen as the Dad, Hera as the Mom, Sabine the older sister, Zeb the slightly weird uncle, and Chopper.
Its not so simple for Ezra to just attack the inquisitor with the force mid combat. When Jedi and Sith fight, they use the force to shield themselves which makes it extremely difficult to be attacked from their opponent through the force. Given that Ezra is still extremely early on in his training, it would be nearly impossible for him without some sort of distraction for his opponent. This is actually how Palps got the upper hand in Revenge of the Sith, when he ignited his lightsaber and jumped toward the Jedi, he let out a force scream which took them by surprise and sort of shattered their concentration to protect themselves with the force. That is what let him quickly dispatch 2 of the 4 Jedi almost immediately.
You’re getting there. Season 2 is a marked improvement on the first one, and from then on it continues to gain momentum. I’m excited to see what you think.
We really didnt know Ahsoka was alive. I know that seems ridiculous now, but we really didnt. When she came down that ladder was a top 5 SW moment ever.
Kenobi happened 10 after Episode 3, Rebels started 15 years after Episode 3. Ezra is 15 and so are Luke and Leia. I can't wait to watch your reaction to season 2 which is one of my favorite star wars piece of content
So Fun Fact: Mary Elizabeth Winstead will be Hera in the Ahsoka show coming soon. She's best known for playing: Lucy McClane - Live Free or Die Hard Ramona Flowers - Scott Pilgrim vs the world Gwen Grayson/ Royal Pain - Sky High Wendy Christensen - Final destination 3 Helena Bertinelli/Huntress - Birds of Prey
There are some hit and miss in this series but overall, it just keeps getting better and better as it goes on. I'm so glad you give us big cluster of episodes in one video and so regularly.
It's been said but Kenobi takes place 10 yrs after Ep 3 (9 BBY). Rebels starts 4 yrs later (5 BBY). Literally episode 8 of this 1st season titled 'Empire Day' marks the 15th anniversary of the Empire being formed (4 BBY).
Well the standard Imperial star destroyers were approximately 70 000 meters in length; and Vader's Super destroyer from Empire Strikes Back was approximately 700 000 meters in length. still though there are Sci-Fi genres that go way beyond that. Like mass effect and Halo that have objects that are planet sized; and the Halo itself is just HUGELY colossal.
Destroying the tower likely temporarily cut-off long-range communications between Lothal and the rest of the galaxy. It would effectively cut off the Imperial garrison from reinforcements and limit their comms to courier ships through hyperspace until they got a replacement setup. Edit: nevermind that's exactly what it did.
Luke, leia and ezra are all the same age (born on empire day or around it). Leia is 10 in the kenobi show, whereas ezra is 14 in season 1 of rebels as it takes place around 4 years after kenobi.
I know this is recorded ahead of time but just to be clear, at least, in the past to technically be a Jedi, all you had to do was before a long enough for your training that you could build a light saber. Of course, the prequel trilogy’s you had to go through certain trials.
As far as using the force to push the inquisitor off the catwalk, any force user worth a damn knows when fighting another one to put a little of your concentration into preventing that.
The Inquisitor didn't want to face Palpatine or Vader with a defeat to report... He prefers death to what they could do to him. That final scene with Vader stepping down the shuttle an Kallus looking like "Oh oh, this is happening, we're doomed". From now on, most of the series is a banger. Kenobi show happened a few years prior to Rebels. Fulcrum's voice changed, have you noticed? It is not always the same person, it's just a codename to give informations and orders to the different Rebel cells. Lacking in experience, Kanan has to open to the Force more for guidance, following the true path of the Jedi, learning and submitting to the Force instead of trying to bind it to its will. In that sense, Kanan is closer to Qui Gon Jinn despite having an Obi Wan-esque background.
Season two is easily twice as good as season one. More amazing Ralph Macquarie designs for everything, more lightsaber battles, the introduction of some of the best SW ships..
When it comes to the timeline of between episode 3 and 4 there is a 19 year gap. Big events happen in 5 year spaces. Jedi Fallen order takes place 5 years after, then in 9 BBY Kenobi takes place, and in the same year Jedi Survivor happens, 9 BBY was just a bad year for Vader. 5 BBY is when Andor takes place and also when season 1 of Rebels starts. As an episode celebrates Empire Day, we can say it is 4BBY from then on.
When you saw Kenobi during his series meeting young Leia and all, he still had brown hair, but when you saw Kenobi in the Jedi Holocron that Ezra triggered, he already had some noticeable grey in his hair.
Pushing the Inquisitor off the edge would be a premeditated act of Murder. And THAT is The Dark Side. When dealing with what one can and cannot DO with the Force, intentions are EVERYTHING. Yes, the Inquisitor will not hesitate to kill them both, but He's a Dark Side Force wielder; that's what THEY do. Yes, they are fighting for their lives, but THAT doesn't exempt them from showing mercy. Ezra pushing him off would just be murder; there's nothing more to it than that. As a Jedi, never kill your enemy (even though they are an enemy) when you can attempt to subdue them.
Kenobi takes place about 9 years before the first Star Wars while Rebels is 4 or 5 years before; with each season getting a year closer. Bonus random fact: Solo and Kenobi both take place between Jedi Fallen Order and Survivor.
the biggest difference is that kanan is just a padaqwan (he was like 12 when order 66 happened) while the grand inquisitor was a fully trained Jedi temple guard - so their knowledge and command of the force aswell as their combat training is far apart. Hence no pushing from Kanan/Ezra and pushing from the Inquisitor
While running a campaign of Star Wars RPG, I let my group of scoundrels hear the message Ezra sent out a little while before I gave them the opportunity to join the rebellion. They took the bait.
In Comics Darth Vader punished Grand inquisitor by capturing his spirit in one of the old Jedi temple's as guard. And Luke Skywalker fought Grand Inquisitor's spirit,when Luke was exploring. Grand Inquisitor's last words in comic's were same as in Rebels.
The way Jen eyes lite up at Ashoke was golden but then when she knows Vader is there and that pure love of Star Wars fills her face was a joy. She is strong with the Force now! Grand Inquisitor in Rebels was superior to Kenobi and he should have been like this in Kenobi.
As far as timelines go, "Kenobi" takes place 5 years prior to "Rebels" which is y the Grand Inquisitor see his final demise here. Kenobi, Andor and Rebels are actually all taking place within the same 10 year time period.
Yes the Inquisitor is dead. Obi-Wan Kenobi takes place 4 years before the first season of Rebels. And the first season of Andor also takes place at about the same time as the first season of Rebels
And at this point Vader's presence is still relatively unknown because Palpatine has had him hunting the remnants of the Jedi. He hasn't yet become 100% active in routing out the rebellion because The Jedi are still in hiding and THEY are infinitely more dangerous that a simple galactic rebellion. lol at least to Palpatine. If he needed to he's sacrifice an entire solar system just to get ONE Jedi. The Billions upon Billions of credits mean NOTHING against the chaos a Jedi can cause his Empire.
• Back then a podcast somewhere asked viewers to consider just how small the amount of lightsaber "reps" that Kanan was indeed engaging in. *-* (GI) perhaps made a huge mistake here ●
This show starts 5 years before a new hope kenobi is teen years after revenge of the sith to put it in perspective Luke & leia are the same age as Ezra
This is why kenobi was so stupid, because everyone knew the inquisitor was still alive because most had seen rebels which made the entire fake death useless
Did you guys watched Tim Miller's adaptation of The Dark Knight Returns about Batman? It's in two parts. If not then add it in to your list. Sure, it is animated movie, but it is the best of what DC and WB made. Just watch it and I'm telling you that, you won't be disappointed. Also, Batman in this movie was voiced by Peter Weller, who played Robocop.
If you would like to try a speeder... then I reccomend getting a motorcycle license and a chopper with narrow apehangers.... I feel like blasting away on a speeder everyday!! :D
24:28 The Grand Inquisitor literally committed suicide in order to avoid the punishment by Vader for failing his mission.
And it doesn't even work since the comics show that Vader trapped the Grand Inquisitor's ghost to use as a guard dog as punishment for his failure.
@@absolutecarnage777 Man, that Star Wars comic was great. Love that it had the Inquisitor echo his final words from the season 1 finale.

I left out Forces of Destiny on purpose as it is an anthology series with each episode being independently spread throughout the timeline
If i forgot anything then please comment and i will add it :)
"There are worst things than Death" You know your enemy is bad ass level when they say things like that. God Jason Issacs would have been such a better Live Action Grand Inquisitor
26:16 The moment when Jen starts Thirsting for Rebels Season 2 when Jen's Favorite Darkside Mack Daddy makes his entrance 😮😮 🤣🤣
Season 2 I believe is absolutely the best.
Either that or season 4.
Season 2 put epicness to 11. But i prefere season 3 & 4 as a whole, it is where the written became really awesome.
Fun fact: The first episode of this video marks the first canon appearance of computer spikes, previously used in the Kotor games.
Woohoo! This animated Star Wars journey with you two has been fun. So glad that you didn't get too discouraged and quit it altogether.
dude, best descition they ever did financially aswell. I'm sure that there are so many fans of star wars willing to pay to see it when it comes out. :)
i absolutely love how when tarkin arrives kanan gets captured and stuff starts actually happening
Hey, Holden and Jen! "Obi-Wan Kenobi" occurs in 10 BBY. "Rebels" begins in 4 BBY.
There are 4 "Rebels" shorts that occur in 5 BBY which precede the series. Sabine was taunting the guards patrolling the TIE depot about their improvement because she had previously vandalized and sabotaged that same yard in one of the shorts.
The TIE that Sabine had painted was the one Ezra and Zeb had stolen in the fourth episode when Hera had sent them to shop for fruit.
The easiest way to keep the timeline straight, is to remember that Luke, Leia and Ezra are the same age. I don't recall Leia's exact age in the Kenobi series, or if they even mention it, but my guess is she's between 6-8 years old, which places Rebels, 7-9 years after the events of Kenobi, since we know from the Empire Day celebration episode, that Ezra is 15 at this point. Great to see you enjoying this series straight out of the gate, because as with Clone Wars, it just keeps getting better and better.
Holden: Maybe you should post in your next Rebels-reaction 2 or 4 episodes.
Season 2 of Rebels starts with two times a two-parter.
Best Regards
I really liked the family dynamic element of the show. Kanen as the Dad, Hera as the Mom, Sabine the older sister, Zeb the slightly weird uncle, and Chopper.
Thank you!
I love how Vader is the "alternative solution"
Its not so simple for Ezra to just attack the inquisitor with the force mid combat. When Jedi and Sith fight, they use the force to shield themselves which makes it extremely difficult to be attacked from their opponent through the force. Given that Ezra is still extremely early on in his training, it would be nearly impossible for him without some sort of distraction for his opponent. This is actually how Palps got the upper hand in Revenge of the Sith, when he ignited his lightsaber and jumped toward the Jedi, he let out a force scream which took them by surprise and sort of shattered their concentration to protect themselves with the force. That is what let him quickly dispatch 2 of the 4 Jedi almost immediately.
You’re getting there. Season 2 is a marked improvement on the first one, and from then on it continues to gain momentum. I’m excited to see what you think.
We really didnt know Ahsoka was alive. I know that seems ridiculous now, but we really didnt. When she came down that ladder was a top 5 SW moment ever.
It's been such a great time revisiting this show with you guys. I love this characters so much ❤
This finale and episode arc is the high point for Season 1 and every season gets better than the last.👍
Kenobi happened 10 after Episode 3, Rebels started 15 years after Episode 3. Ezra is 15 and so are Luke and Leia. I can't wait to watch your reaction to season 2 which is one of my favorite star wars piece of content
you guys are going to be blown away with what is coming. Amazing storylines!
Yay more Rebels! Hope u all are doing well with the new baby!
So Fun Fact: Mary Elizabeth Winstead will be Hera in the Ahsoka show coming soon. She's best known for playing:
Lucy McClane - Live Free or Die Hard
Ramona Flowers - Scott Pilgrim vs the world
Gwen Grayson/ Royal Pain - Sky High
Wendy Christensen - Final destination 3
Helena Bertinelli/Huntress - Birds of Prey
Kenobi is 9 years before A New Hope. This is around 5/4 years before A New Hope.
We noticed the rebel symbol, in the dust trail, but we see it every time Sabine shows up because of her Phoenix symbol on her costume
There are some hit and miss in this series but overall, it just keeps getting better and better as it goes on.
I'm so glad you give us big cluster of episodes in one video and so regularly.
Watching your reactions to it is bringing it all back to me. Rebels was a good ride. I like the pacing.
I love that you’re reviewing Star Wars rebels.
Holden: Cant you just watch some Star Wars?
Dog: Ok
Congrats holden and jen!
That Ahsoka reaction was amazing
Loved this Season 1 Finale and the reaction! Grand Inquisitor Dead, Ahsoka's First Appearance THEN Vader. Back-to-Back-to-Back Bomb shells!
Chopper, our favorite little war criminal.
It's been said but Kenobi takes place 10 yrs after Ep 3 (9 BBY). Rebels starts 4 yrs later (5 BBY). Literally episode 8 of this 1st season titled 'Empire Day' marks the 15th anniversary of the Empire being formed (4 BBY).
Well the standard Imperial star destroyers were approximately 70 000 meters in length; and Vader's Super destroyer from Empire Strikes Back was approximately 700 000 meters in length. still though there are Sci-Fi genres that go way beyond that. Like mass effect and Halo that have objects that are planet sized; and the Halo itself is just HUGELY colossal.
Destroying the tower likely temporarily cut-off long-range communications between Lothal and the rest of the galaxy. It would effectively cut off the Imperial garrison from reinforcements and limit their comms to courier ships through hyperspace until they got a replacement setup.
Edit: nevermind that's exactly what it did.
Wonderful! You guys are wonderful. I’m really enjoying your reactions. Rebels is the best!
Season 2 is amazing. Can’t wait for you guys to watch it
Luke, leia and ezra are all the same age (born on empire day or around it). Leia is 10 in the kenobi show, whereas ezra is 14 in season 1 of rebels as it takes place around 4 years after kenobi.
Darth "base" on Mustafar isn´t just a base, it´s his "home". Sheev thought is would be real funny.
Also it is getting "juicy" in Season 2 real quick
I know this is recorded ahead of time but just to be clear, at least, in the past to technically be a Jedi, all you had to do was before a long enough for your training that you could build a light saber. Of course, the prequel trilogy’s you had to go through certain trials.
Remember guys Ezra is two days older than Luke and Leia. So during Kenobi Ezra would have been a ten year old.
Oh man, Old Man Ezra could be a thing if he makes it through Ahsoka and into that Rey film (down the line). What an interesting idea… 🤯
As far as using the force to push the inquisitor off the catwalk, any force user worth a damn knows when fighting another one to put a little of your concentration into preventing that.
The Inquisitor didn't want to face Palpatine or Vader with a defeat to report... He prefers death to what they could do to him.
That final scene with Vader stepping down the shuttle an Kallus looking like "Oh oh, this is happening, we're doomed".
From now on, most of the series is a banger.
Kenobi show happened a few years prior to Rebels.
Fulcrum's voice changed, have you noticed? It is not always the same person, it's just a codename to give informations and orders to the different Rebel cells.
Lacking in experience, Kanan has to open to the Force more for guidance, following the true path of the Jedi, learning and submitting to the Force instead of trying to bind it to its will.
In that sense, Kanan is closer to Qui Gon Jinn despite having an Obi Wan-esque background.
Now that you guys are done with season 1, strap in!! its about to get really good from here on out
Season two is easily twice as good as season one.
More amazing Ralph Macquarie designs for everything, more lightsaber battles, the introduction of some of the best SW ships..
When it comes to the timeline of between episode 3 and 4 there is a 19 year gap. Big events happen in 5 year spaces. Jedi Fallen order takes place 5 years after, then in 9 BBY Kenobi takes place, and in the same year Jedi Survivor happens, 9 BBY was just a bad year for Vader. 5 BBY is when Andor takes place and also when season 1 of Rebels starts. As an episode celebrates Empire Day, we can say it is 4BBY from then on.
When you saw Kenobi during his series meeting young Leia and all, he still had brown hair, but when you saw Kenobi in the Jedi Holocron that Ezra triggered, he already had some noticeable grey in his hair.
Pushing the Inquisitor off the edge would be a premeditated act of Murder. And THAT is The Dark Side. When dealing with what one can and cannot DO with the Force, intentions are EVERYTHING. Yes, the Inquisitor will not hesitate to kill them both, but He's a Dark Side Force wielder; that's what THEY do. Yes, they are fighting for their lives, but THAT doesn't exempt them from showing mercy. Ezra pushing him off would just be murder; there's nothing more to it than that. As a Jedi, never kill your enemy (even though they are an enemy) when you can attempt to subdue them.
Kenobi takes place about 9 years before the first Star Wars while Rebels is 4 or 5 years before; with each season getting a year closer.
Bonus random fact: Solo and Kenobi both take place between Jedi Fallen Order and Survivor.
Jen: "even if it's just for a split second"
Us: *laughs in Season 2*
Rewatching and just remembering how much of a killer Copper is.
the biggest difference is that kanan is just a padaqwan (he was like 12 when order 66 happened) while the grand inquisitor was a fully trained Jedi temple guard - so their knowledge and command of the force aswell as their combat training is far apart. Hence no pushing from Kanan/Ezra and pushing from the Inquisitor
Season 2 is definitely "cranked up", believe me. You'll see it right from the start 😋 And we just can't wait...
While running a campaign of Star Wars RPG, I let my group of scoundrels hear the message Ezra sent out a little while before I gave them the opportunity to join the rebellion. They took the bait.
In Comics Darth Vader punished Grand inquisitor by capturing his spirit in one of the old Jedi temple's as guard. And Luke Skywalker fought Grand Inquisitor's spirit,when Luke was exploring. Grand Inquisitor's last words in comic's were same as in Rebels.
Season 1 takes place 6 years before A New Hope. Ezra is 14 and was born a couple of days before Luke and Leia.
Season 2 reactions are gonna be good
The way Jen eyes lite up at Ashoke was golden but then when she knows Vader is there and that pure love of Star Wars fills her face was a joy. She is strong with the Force now!
Grand Inquisitor in Rebels was superior to Kenobi and he should have been like this in Kenobi.
This is where the fun begins
In my opinion, after this is when the show really starts to get good.
A lot of great character stuff, and story lines, and some really cool fights.
The dog enjoying the show is everything
As far as timelines go, "Kenobi" takes place 5 years prior to "Rebels" which is y the Grand Inquisitor see his final demise here. Kenobi, Andor and Rebels are actually all taking place within the same 10 year time period.
Thank you again for this
Kenobi takes place when luke and leia are little kids, this takes place much closer to a new hope
Yes the Inquisitor is dead. Obi-Wan Kenobi takes place 4 years before the first season of Rebels. And the first season of Andor also takes place at about the same time as the first season of Rebels
Sabine doing all those acrobatics is easy to write off as animation but I think she's force sensitive. Lots of clues throughout the show.
And at this point Vader's presence is still relatively unknown because Palpatine has had him hunting the remnants of the Jedi. He hasn't yet become 100% active in routing out the rebellion because The Jedi are still in hiding and THEY are infinitely more dangerous that a simple galactic rebellion. lol at least to Palpatine. If he needed to he's sacrifice an entire solar system just to get ONE Jedi. The Billions upon Billions of credits mean NOTHING against the chaos a Jedi can cause his Empire.
3:21 cmon Ezra, you can't stop the signal!
• Back then a podcast somewhere asked viewers to consider just how small the amount of lightsaber "reps" that Kanan was indeed engaging in. *-* (GI) perhaps made a huge mistake here ●
Obi-Wan Kenobi takes place 4 years before the beginning of Rebels season 1.
Keep an eye on Chopper. He has the highest kill count of nearly every Star Wars character.
Kenobi takes place five years before this show. This show runs contemporaneously with Andor.
This show starts 5 years before a new hope kenobi is teen years after revenge of the sith to put it in perspective Luke & leia are the same age as Ezra
This is why kenobi was so stupid, because everyone knew the inquisitor was still alive because most had seen rebels which made the entire fake death useless
Ahsoka and Vader. I wonder what is going to happen???... 😋Get ready for the ride. Season 2, especially the finale is VERY memorable.
Did you guys watched Tim Miller's adaptation of The Dark Knight Returns about Batman? It's in two parts. If not then add it in to your list. Sure, it is animated movie, but it is the best of what DC and WB made. Just watch it and I'm telling you that, you won't be disappointed. Also, Batman in this movie was voiced by Peter Weller, who played Robocop.
If you would like to try a speeder... then I reccomend getting a motorcycle license and a chopper with narrow apehangers.... I feel like blasting away on a speeder everyday!! :D
