"Rebels is too kid friendly!"
*Thrawn blows up an old man while his friends are forced to watch*
The writers did Kallus’ Arc very well! can’t wait to see what Rick and Calvin will see for him In the future .
Kallus is what they tried to do with hux before ruining it and making hux the worst villain in all of star wars
@@icebergwalrus7775 the thing is this type of arc doesn't work for the type of character hux is like kallus. hux was a fanatic and 100% devoted to the first order. while kallus had conflict and questioning of it and had someone who brought him another side. hux's attempt of side switching arc in tros was just lazy writing because they didn't want to make the main big bad non-force related in the final movie and they didn't know what to do with his character. which they could've done the big bag with hux and finally introduced thrawn into the live action that way as well.
I saw a video saying the reason Thrawn seems so dangerous is because the writers essentially turned Sherlock Holmes into a villian. We're now getting a flipped perspective on an incredibly competent character we're used to rooting for now being a threat.
That's interesting.
Well, Sherlock Holmes was one of the inspirations for Thrawn, but also Hannibal, Robert E Lee, and other great battle commanders, according to Timothy Zahn
Rommel, etc.
But given almost NO other Imperial in the show other than Vader, Tarkin, Callus and sometimes Pryce, is particularly competent, this may be overstating things.
@@chrissonofpear1384 You forgot about the Emperor himself. Palpatine is by far the smartest of the bunch.
I'm really digging Kallus development in this episode and for this Season alone considering that following "The Honorable Ones" in Season 2, Kallus begins to have 2nd thoughts regarding the Empire's actions especially when he was shocked after he witnessed Morad Sumar being killed during the explosion while testing one of the speeders for Thrawn at 4:43-4:44.
Such great character development with Kallus!! Will admit that I never saw Kallus becoming a Rebel!!
Yea me too
Thrawn's effectiveness is presented pretty well IMO, though I get what Calvin was saying. I would think it's tricky to write a character like that without making it seem like he knows as much as the writer.
One of the advantages in a lot of anime is that we have the character's internal monologue to explain their reasoning but that is also a disadvantage because that monologue ruins the pacing. Gotta find a balance and Thrawn is it.
To be fair though, this episode is the first time that Thrawn actually wanted to kill the rebeles instead of allowing them to escape. So he does fail, even when he's one step ahead.
The Kallus storyline is SOOOOOOO much better than the General Hux "I'm the spy." I mean, I still predicted that Kallus was Folcrum, but his story was just so well done that I didn't mind. The entire time I was watching Rise of Skywalker, I was thinking "Rebels did this so much better."
I feel like generally speaking shows have more time to develop characters. But the sequel trilogy in general also suffered from a lack of clear direction T-T
They're two very different storylines though. One is about a man opening his eyes to the evil of his employers, seeing the kind of life he could have had, and turning around. The other is about a man who hates his boss but is to scared to go up against him himself, not turning around at all, just continuing down the same direction. I don't think they're exactly comparable.
General Hux was just petty and wasn’t really redeemable
@@QueenMegaera The problem there is there is no build up. Plenty of people hates their superiors such as Krennic but he didn't betray the Empire
@@RSK9903
In other words, Disney isn’t original and all they do is steal from other creators to make money.
No wonder everyone isn’t happy with Walt’s “vision” anymore.
11:00 That was Sumar's wife. I always wish they did more with her character. Always had so much potential for a compelling story. She was a farmer with her husband, the empire destroyed her farm, murdered her beloved... I would like to think she became a hero of the rebellion, always chasing revenge for her shattered life.
Hotdamn she's so young! That old man had some game!
@@Commander_Shepard. lol
Thrawn is employing what is called the Xanatos Gambit.
In short, even when he loses, he wins.
i miss gargoyles
Sometimes he does. In this case, I really don't think he wanted those fighter plans leaked. It's just that by the time he found out there were rebel intruders, he didn't have the forces in place necessary to stop them from escaping, and he's not yet aware that Kallus is a mole.
I almost forgot that Sumar is the same farmer turned rebel from the episode "Fighter Flight" from season 1.
Definitely recommend the newer Thrawn books to understand his way of thinking.
1000% agreed. That is where the depth they're looking for is.
Really shows the saboteurs inexperience, need to be clever about how the machines "malfunction" so that no one notices that they break not from intentional design but from freak coincidences.
"Now I have to make this look convincing."
"Okay." *launches Kallus through the computer screen into the wall*
"Ezra!"
"WHAT? THAT is convincing."
"Yeah, but _I_ was gonna do it."
*XD*
9:35 - 9:46
😛 poor Kanan
4:15 "have a hidden switch"
*Volkswagen nods in agreement*
I see you're a man of culture as well.
The TIE Fighter game on PC introduced the TIE Defender. I bought the game back in '95 for my first PC.
I started with the game before that: Simply titled "X-Wing". TIE Fighter expanded on the game engine quite a bit, but I think it peaked with 'X-Wing vs TIE Fighter' - even with it being focused very much on multiplayer games, it was still very good. (Especially the 'Balance of Power' expansion.)
The TIE Defender was, and is, the high watermark for how dangerous the Empire could be if they actually spent... money and research time on their starfighter production. However, their philosophy overall is "throw enough people at a problem and make it go away". The Rebels, on the other hand, wanted quality fighters which could take a pounding and act independently. What the T/D did was... well, "starfighter supremacy". It could outmaneuver, outrun, and outgun every Rebel fighter from that time period - at the expense of being considerably more ... expensive. Shields and hyperdrive made it much more expensive than your average TIE. But a squad of those? Would murder Rebel ships easily by spamming lasers.
In the old EU timeline from the games, the fighter design and production models were stolen by a rogue Imperial Admiral to use against the Emperor. Thrawn had an answer of course - make a starfighter which didn't engage the T/D inside the optimal laser range. Thus the "Missile Boat" was born, the most broken thing ever... I mean, literally in the code: "This is the King Hell God Emperor Starfighter of Death".
I first learned about it from reading the "X-Wing: Starfighters of Adumar" Legends novel.
@@Compucles That series is REALLY damn good.
4:50 they better keep thrawn theme when they bring him live action
I heard Robert Downey Jr was offered the role of Thrawn
@@theawesomeman9821 thought it was confirmed to be the same actor as Thrawn VA (mind blank on his name)
@@loreking486 Lars Mikkelsen voices Thrawn and actually had the same head shape. Looking forward to seeing him live action!
Great news! Rebels’ composer, Kevin Kiner, is composing for the Ahsoka series, which is confirmed to have Lars playing Thrawn! So yep! Wish granted!
Good news...
I feel like Chop and Gina from B99 would get along very well for some reason
Gina PROGRAMMED Chopper 😜
So begins one of Rebels greatest arcs
Thing about thrawn is he will let the rebels have the illusion of them winning, letting them escape and allowing them to capture info to let them get comfortable and make their mistake.
Why kill 1-2 rebels when you can let them make first mistake and kill them all.
Let them think they have all the cards and then pull out your ace. Classic espionage 101
@@cheeseninja1115 exactly, that is what makes thrawn so good and dangerous, he willing to let the enemy win a few battles, but in the end he wins the war.
Poker shark. Feed your opponent just enough success so you learn how they operate... Then you destroy them.
God I love Grand Admiral Thrawn sooo much!! 😭😭 He is one of the best characters in the entire Star Wars for me.. Second after Anakin/Vader actually 😁💙💙
Y’all think the trooper that said “Get back in line” was a clone trooper? Cause many have been saying the voice sounded like a clone trooper , so prob some clones were around in the Imperial Era.
It didn’t sound like a clone to me since it’s voice would be similar to Rex’s.
@@TheLiamster Not necessarily - say, one of those child-clones we saw the Imperials evacuating prior to the Destruction of Tipoca City would now be in their late thirties after accounting for age acceleration. It's a plausible hypothesis, at least. _(Also, I believe Dee Bradley Baker _*_was_*_ given voice credit for some of the stormtroopers in this episode.)_
Poor kallus 🥺
But I WAS GONNA DO IT tho😅😅😅😅
My only problem with this episode is that the walker falls IMMEDIATELY.
sloppy sabotage I guess
Hot Kallus is coming...
That sounded like Liam O’Brien was doing two voices in this episode.
Another key Thrawn episode!
This is my favorite episode with thrawn
I just realized that Mr Sumar is the voice actor for Gaara, took me forever to remember who that voice was but it finally hit me during this rewatch.
Thanks, Eric! Thanks, Rick! Thanks, Calvin! Thanks, Aaron! 🌟
Woooooo yeah baby! That’s what I’ve been waiting for That’s what it’s all about! wooooOo
But seriously I’ve been looking forward to this episode reaction. Probably one of my favorite Rebels episodes
I'm surprised you guys did not recognise the TIE Defender from the old PC game :D
The tactic Grand Admiral Thrawn uses is called “strategic losses” leadership must be willing to lose small firefights/battles in order to learn enemy tactics to ultimately win the WAR. It’s actually a gorilla/Rebel tactic
Oh I was looking forward to this one
I wanna see Thrawn play a chess match against Light Yagami

Really liked this ep! Really showed the villainous prick Thrawn can be
Ezra stole Caleb's thunder!
I love how when Kallus says "rebels", there is a small pause and jedis' initial response is to beat the crap out of him.
This episode is really good
Just finished the show. Can’t wait for ahsoka.
17:55 LOLOL trueee
4:10 that’s a jango clone
I hear Liam O'Brien.
When plans go to shit you always fall back to what you used to
Thrawn is being influenced by the Empire even if he doesn’t know it.
9:44
WTF are y’all doing with the pause at the end!?! I have to know! It’s bugging the hell out of me haha
I think they are triying to pause on the list of voice actors that participated in the episode
Hey guys I got an idea of a show I would like for y'all to react to if you can.
Is interesting how Calvin and Rick are trying to understand thrawn. And question why doesn't he fail. Conversely, Eric and Aron no full well to why and how thrawn knows what he knows. Especially Eric. He's definitely read the thrawn novels. The newest ones for sure. I sometimes wish they would guide them a little better in those instances at times. But... 🤷🏾♂️.
I think someone needs to start a audiobook reactions to some of these star wars novels or any novel. asoiaf for instance. Listen to a chapter. Follow any copyright guidelines you need to. And then discuss it. Pause the audiobook if you need too for important facts or talking points. Let's do something different for a change. People may like it. I know I would
I second this notion.👍
doesnt really matter since in terms of purely the show its a pretty big asspull. they should have given internal dialogue from thrawns perspective like hisoka did where he is bombarding himself with situations that are close until he finds a suitable answer. not a huge deal but definitely one of the weaker examples of thrawn in terms of substance
Tie Defender came along in Star Wars Battlefront II Renegade Squadron
First appeared in Star Wars: TIE Fighter, from 1994.
@@christaylor9929 Did it? Renegade Squadron was where I knew it from before Rebels made it canon, I had no idea if it was in other media prior to that.
@@johnwkindig1613 It first appeared in TIE Fighter.. then in Star Wars Rebellion and i think it gets into the Rogue Squadron novels too
@@sparrowlt Had no idea, thanks guys, didn't start following Star Wars intensely until Rebels S2 came out, didn't know much outside the movies and CW before that.
@@johnwkindig1613 They were also in the "X-Wing: Starfighters of Adamur" novel.
How does no one remember what the Tie Defender is called xD
I think Eric and Aaron are trying not to name it on purpose because the name hasn't been revealed in the show proper and they want to give the other 2 as much of a first viewing experience as possible.
@@collecter343 that's a fair point, I'm just thinking that they all play Squadrons and they remembered the B-wing being added but not the Tie/D xD
