I've always liked that both ahsoka and obi wan were only able to half unmask Anakin, but Luke was able to remove the whole thing. Really nice physical representation of George's vision of Anakin only being able to be saved by his son.
I also like how Obi-Wan and Ahsoka got different sides of his face: Kenobi got the left, while Ahsoka had the right, and like you said, Luke took off the whole thing.
I know everyone always mixes these up, but Concord Dawn and Concordia are two different places. Concordia is the moon of Mandalore, while Concord Dawn is some other Mandalorian colony. They are both in Mandalorian space, as far as I know.
There is no such thing as a "filler episode" when Dave Filoni is involved... there's always a greater purpose that unfortunately goes unnoticed. For example, the Purgil episode was called a "filler episode" until the purpose of that episode that was later realized.
I feel like the cartoons may just be the best modern manifestation of Starwars (Andor not withstanding). The medium of animation allows for a more indepth exploration of alien life, use if the force, space travel, space combat, and technology then is reasonably available in live action. Cartoons allow Jedi to truly be what we all imagined them to be, without the constraints of modern special effects technology and human limitations holding them back. Rebels is 100% required viewing, and the fact that NR is putting in this amount if effort to help out the community is amazing! 🤘
Also, Maul is quoting directly from the Sith code from Legends content: Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken.
Twilight of the Apprentice will always be my favorite Rebels episode! Again, when this episode released the last time these two saw each other was when Ahsoka walked away from Anakin and the Jedi. Seeing them duel in Rebels broke your heart knowing everything that they went through together in the Clone Wars.
Honestly I see Chopper doing nothing wrong. The Galaxy is at war. They're Storm Troopers fighting for the Empire. So he just killed the enemy. War isn't pretty.
My favourite part of the cut mask is the symbolism of how both obi wan (master/brother) and ahsoka (apprentice/sister) were not able to free anakin from vader, symbolised by them cutting a different side of his mask in their own respective series. But it was Luke, Anakin's son, that was able to free him, symbolised by taken his whole mask being taken off, not by force either, but by choice.
Something I've just noticed at 0:55 when Vader motions to Minister Tua, his hand makes almost the same three gestures as the painting of the Mortis gods. Deliberate or not, its still pretty cool.
@@evangalinsky2499 Have to say I agree with this...but then shouldn't Ewan McGregor always have voiced Kenobi? I'm sure it was a $$$ and contractural thing.
I wouldn’t call the forgotten droid a filler. Just like how all other team members had spotlight episodes about their past lives and what their future could have been Chopper had a bit of that too in that episode. It also leads to the rebels finding a base on atollon and in turn, Kanan finding Bendu
Dave Filoni is the voice actor for Chopper=Chopper is the voice of Filoni=Filoni gave us Ahsoka and Ahsoka is arguably the best character in SW=Filoni(IMO)can do no wrong=Chopper can do no wrong😉🤣🤪
17:01 It FULLY APPEARS in KOTOR 2... and the devastation of the planet was based around the Mandalorian Wars from Revan + Meetra Surik rather than the Sith (although there was a Sith Temple on the planet which was later used by Darth Traya/Sith Triumvirate).
Can't believe he didn't mention AP-5... That singing he did while dying in empty space was one of the most hilarious things I have ever seen. I laughed my ass off EVERY TIME I watch.
I just noticed that during the Jedi temple split up, if you pay attention to the background they foreshadow the world between by putting stars in Ezra's backdrop, but smokey for ahsoka's trouble seeing and accepting the truth and a glimpse into the past for kanaan.
They would almost have to have Jim Cummings do the voice again. He was just so so good. I don't know who else could do his personality and voice so good. Lol
These are GREAT. Thank. .. I've been rewatching Rebels off & on for a month or so. Am on season 3, the Iron Squadron episode. ... 🤔 Doesn't look like I'm going to finish by Wednesday. Not sure if you guys are either? ... Hope so 🤞. Either way, excited for Ashoka 🎉 .... Wash that Secret Invasion taste outta my mouth . Thank again - 🤘
16:19 It's very foolish to call "The Forgotten Droid" a "filler" episode. It is one of the greatest Chopper episodes and it gave us the the glorious AP-5. Thanks to the two droids and the coordinates they provided, Admiral Sato and the rebel fleet found safety on Atollon. Thus, Chopper and AP are the reason we meet the Bendu and they are indirectly the reason Thrawn encounters the mystical Force being.
I really don't think you can call those episode you mentioned as "filler" since there are some things (even small) that explore its character even more or having some stuff that will be mentioned again in future episodes.
While the spiders are based off the same knobby white spider design by Ralph McQuarrie the krykna are not the same creatures that were on Maldo Kreis in Mando Season 2.
The term "filler episode" is so condescending. There are no "filler episodes", there are episodes you just don't _personally_ find value in. This is art, it's not a calzone. There is no "filler".
Not for nothing, but calling Chopper a war criminal is a bad take. He kills a lot of folks, but they were uniformed combatants in a declared conflict. It’s an important distinction that the Rebels are also a uniformed army with legal combatants.
I don’t think war crimes exist once the empire took over lol, they were absolutely evil. It was no holds barred once they took over. Everything’s legal.
I know the KOTOR games were mentioned but I’ll say it anyway so the Great War that happened on malachor was talked about in the 2nd game. The super weapon is the thing you have to stop at the end of the game. It’s a very important bit but idk if he’s played the games and maybe didn’t remember it. Hope I helped.
Sith and Jedi power fluctuates over millenia. At one point, the Sith were more prominant, and in others, the Jedi were. Nevertheless, both groups were once in unison as the Jed'aii. So, to say one has more claim to history, is just wrong.
Chopper was justified in destroying the Interdictor. As Rex said: "If the Empire can intercept our ships in Hyperspace, this Rebel movement won't last long."
The Morai bird was never in the Mortis arc but it can maybe be considered the manifestation of the daughter it first technically appeared in rebels and then the last episode of season 7
The exchange between Ahsoka and Vader is just etched in my memory. "Revenge is not the Jedi Way." "I am no Jedi." *chefs kiss*
One of the best lines in all of Star Wars.
I've always liked that both ahsoka and obi wan were only able to half unmask Anakin, but Luke was able to remove the whole thing. Really nice physical representation of George's vision of Anakin only being able to be saved by his son.
I assume because Vader felt betrayed and abandoned by Obi-Wan and Ahsoka, but he wanted Luke to join him
I also like how Obi-Wan and Ahsoka got different sides of his face: Kenobi got the left, while Ahsoka had the right, and like you said, Luke took off the whole thing.
That’s so beautiful.
The fact you caught that is what makes Filoni and Favreau great, it’s getting good!
@@Gzilla313incorrect.

be great if they adapted the origins of the rule of two, as a game. from Darth Banes' Pov.
Not just legends, the sith holocron you can buy at galaxy’s edge has Vader recite the code
Maul was also supposed to be the big bad of the sequel trilogy his groups were the shadow syndicate and the crimson dawn
Twilight of the Apprentice will always be my favorite Rebels episode! Again, when this episode released the last time these two saw each other was when Ahsoka walked away from Anakin and the Jedi.

Glad you pointed out chopper holding Kanan’s hand. Always loved it.
I know!!! Chopper can be a menace, but he still looks out for his friends safety.
Honestly I see Chopper doing nothing wrong. The Galaxy is at war. They're Storm Troopers fighting for the Empire. So he just killed the enemy. War isn't pretty.

If Churchill still can get away with Dresden, then Chopper is good, in my book!
@@gaffer2602 war isn't pretty. He's just killing the enemy. They're at war. Those Imperials shouldn't have enlisted. Because in war a lot can happen.
No matter what, they always manage to portray Vader perfectly
That’s one of the things I love most about Star Wars
19:25 love how Maul quotes the Sith mantra to Ezra subtly

Dave Filoni is the true successor to Lucas.

I love how Matt Lanter reprised his role as Anakin even for 2 or 3 lines
I don't. For this and clone wars it should've been Hayden. Never liked Matt's voice as Anakin.

@@thegood9 yes, Ewan also should have.
And I know it was a major reason they weren't cast, but still. Would've made Clone Wars WAY better.
@@evangalinsky2499 cannot argue with that!

Beat comment hands down 😂
Nika Futterman AKA Ventress in Clone Wars
Hands down, the greatest moment in season 2 is the Vader/Ahsoka fight
Fun thing to note is Maul quoting the Sith Code to Ezra.. a real nice detail.
I think you ment to say chopper is a war hero
I love Rebels
17:01 It FULLY APPEARS in KOTOR 2... and the devastation of the planet was based around the Mandalorian Wars from Revan + Meetra Surik rather than the Sith (although there was a Sith Temple on the planet which was later used by Darth Traya/Sith Triumvirate).
The chopper base duology may be filler but they introduced one of my favourite droids
AP-5
Can't believe he didn't mention AP-5... That singing he did while dying in empty space was one of the most hilarious things I have ever seen. I laughed my ass off EVERY TIME I watch.
@@Phizzo4real I laughed as well he was this close to having himself a Disney musical number
What makes it better was his deadpan voice
I just noticed that during the Jedi temple split up, if you pay attention to the background they foreshadow the world between by putting stars in Ezra's backdrop, but smokey for ahsoka's trouble seeing and accepting the truth and a glimpse into the past for kanaan.
I wish they bring Hando to live action. He’s my favorite rebels character
Hanson is amazing, I'm just not sure they would do him justice in live action.
They would almost have to have Jim Cummings do the voice again. He was just so so good. I don't know who else could do his personality and voice so good. Lol
4:41 Damn I didn't know Fred and Daphne existed in the Star Wars universe as well.

Yes, I have been waiting! love these!
Wait did you skip the fight between Ashoka and the inquisitors??
I would say that is important
Erik's energy during this vid is astounding
Chopper is one of the most dangerest droids
Sir, you have a typo. Your sentence should be *"Chopper is one of the best droids."* :)
Hoping you have the time to deliver both seasons 3 and 4 before the early premiere of Ahsoka! Thanks for the reviews.
HANDO! the only pirate I’ll ever respect in Star Wars 😂
the pirate gimmick is also from the Disney cartoon tale spin. his name is DON CAR-NAGE(CAR-NAHJ)
13:40 that wasn’t an Imperial Star Destroyer. It was a cruiser. Way too small for a Star Destroyer
Everyones hoping for force ghost Anakin, i wanna see force ghost Kanan
It's disappointing that FPJ has said he's done with the role. It'd be great to see him appear in a live action flashback as Kanan in Ahsoka.
@@Gzilla313 100% agree, was thinking about that as i made my initial comment

Season 2 is the best season of Star Wars Rebels
Question. Do Sith Lords seek out apprentices bcuz it makes them stronger?
Best season of Rebels
"I am no Jedi" - Coldest line in Star Wars
The lightning in the last episode makes me think it's Darth Traya from legends
Because of the voice, and because Maul is there I assumed it was Mother Talzin
Just what I needed to get the wife caught up!
That “somebody that she used to know!” Made me pause the video and laugh for a full minute. Keep it up Mr Voss.
Loved that wire reference “Omar coming”!

Rebels has the best story writig of all Star Wars.

Am i the only one who can see ashoka leaving the templs in the final episode
What happened to the Grand Inquisitor head between Kenobi and Rebels? Is that ever explained
For goodness sake
His head went from computer animation to a human actor. Just like the rest of him.
Did you watch Rebels? It literally shows you. (REBELS takes place timeline wise after Kenobi.)
Honestly what happened the the inquisitors tie fighter from season 1?
