REBELS SEASON 1 BREAKDOWN! Ahsoka Easter Eggs You NEED TO KNOW!

Welcome back to New Rockstars. I'm Eric. Voss, and this is a breakdown of Star. Wars Rebels season 1. Among Ahsoka, the. Mandalorian, and the various other Star. Wars live-action titles, they're all. essentially, thanks to Dave Filoni, live-action spin-offs of Rebels. So, whether you've seen the show or not, we. are doing this four-part Rebels rewatch. to catch everyone up on the Easter eggs, the plot points, the unanswered. questions from this series, like how. does Chopper sleep at night? And by the. end of this breakdown, you'll be able to. go into shows like Ahsoka with a cheat. sheet of what you really need to know. Also, please subscribe to the Break Room.

channel for our upcoming Ahsoka. aftershow, Wookiee Leaks. Let's get. started with season 1 episode 1 and 2, Spark of the Rebellion, parts 1 and 2. This two-part series premiere opens on. the triangular holes of three Imperial. Star Destroyers, looking like sharp. teeth of the jaws of a beast chomping. down on the stars, devouring the galaxy. George Lucas's opening shot for A New. Hope was also a Star Destroyer bearing. down on us, and that's where this Rebel. series wants to put us emotionally. James Earl Jones returns to voice Darth. Vader, whose mask we see in a massive. screen-encompassing hologram.

The Jedi Knights are all but destroyed, and yet your task is not complete, Inquisitor. And the bald-head positioned right in. Vader's breathing vent, breathing down. on his shoulders and his head, is that. of the Inquisitor, or the Grand. Inquisitor, voiced by Jason Isaacs. The. Utapauan race seen in Revenge of the. Sith. In the Obi-Wan Kenobi series, he. is played by Rupert Friend, but they. really didn't do enough to stretch out. his face. While he would go on to be. known as the Grand Inquisitor, at first. in this Rebel series, the character was. known as just the Inquisitor. Originally, Rebels wasn't going to have.

Darth Vader at all, but they decided to. add this prologue and the epilogue of. the series for context and Star. Wars-ness. Lucasfilm released Rebels in. October 2014 on Disney XD. After Clone. Wars was discontinued on the Cartoon. Network in 2013 with an unfinished. season 6 arc, moved to Netflix. Rebels. would center around all new characters. and be set in 5 BBY, that's 5 years. before A New Hope and about 14 years. after Revenge of the Sith. Over the. course of this series, it would progress. ahead to right before A New Hope. As we. bridge her, the hero really of this. series voiced by Taylor Gray, looks out.

from the tower on the outer rim world of. Lothal. This backdrop is kind of Ezra's. binary sunset. It returns throughout the. series, specifically in the final shot. of the series, and we'll see it in the. Ahsoka series. And Ahsoka, the character. will be played by Eman Esfandi. Ezra's. view of the Star Destroyer, blast the. Imperial March. Yes, really all of John Williams themes. just come back throughout this series. So, I'm not going to be pointing out. every instance, nor will I point out. like every species, every ship, every.

droid, every little bit of random. Aurebesh. I'm really just going to focus. on the major major stuff that you need. to know for the other titles and the. really really cool Easter eggs that I. don't really think anyone else has. pointed out before. So, Lothal is. currently under Imperial occupation. And. so, we see all over the place propaganda. like this mural with Aurebesh text. SUPPORT YOUR EMPIRE. BUILD TIE FIGHTERS, the latest in defense against threats to. peace. Sienar Fleet Systems, bringing. jobs and prosperity to Lothal. This is. really what Lothal is currently used for. by the Empire. Sienar Fleet Systems, the. company that builds TIE fighters. Later,

Thrawn will use Lothal, and had he been. successful in that operation, the Empire. might not have lost the Civil War. Ezra, who's Force-sensitive, senses his future. master Kanan Jarrus, voiced by Freddie. Prinze Jr. That was weird. I. Yeah, I love the sound effect of Ezra. sensing the Force, and it's presented as. kind of a force of nature here, almost. like a whale call. And the hyperspace. whales, the purrgil, will play a very.

important role in Ezra's destiny and. will appear in the Ahsoka series. Kanan. Jarrus is the alias of the former Jedi. Caleb Dume, apprentice to Depa Billaba, and their tragic Order 66 moment was. depicted in the very first episode of. The Bad Batch series. Also, in his crew. here in the streets of Lothal is Zeb. Orrelios, the Lasat voiced by Steve. Blum, who also showed up in live action. with incredible visual effects in The. Mandalorian season 3. And the. Mandalorian character Sabine Wren, voiced in this series by Tiya Sircar, who is played in Ahsoka by Natasha Liu. Bordizzo. Sabine is quite the artist. Her armor features the Mandalorian.

Starbird symbol, the Orbesh number five. for her code name being Specter 5, and a. night owl style helmet, the same kind of. style worn by Bo-Katan. As Ezra. interrupts these Rebels mission to steal. blasters, leading to this chase through. the Lothal streets and down the highway, they get scooped up by the Ghost, a. VCX-100 light freighter captained by. Twi'lek Hera Syndulla, voiced by Vanessa. Marshall in this show and played by Mary. Elizabeth Winstead in Ahsoka. And their. astromech droid is Chopper, voiced by. Dave Filoni himself. And as we'll see in. pretty much every episode of the series, Chopper is just kind of a jerk. He's.

always picking fights and committing. more crimes. Ezra finds a lightsaber and. Jedi holocron that has a message to all. Jedi from Obi-Wan Kenobi right after the. purge. And Obi-Wan here is voiced by. James Arnold Taylor doing a pretty solid. impression of Ewan McGregor. This is Master Obi-Wan Kenobi. I regret. to report that both our Jedi Order and. the Republic have fallen. But it's interesting how in the super. premiere, we only hear the first half of. it here. We don't get the full message. of hope just yet. Now, these blasters. are sold to crime lord Vizago in. exchange for food and info about Wookiee. prisoners. The Ghost crew tries to pull. the old Wookiee prisoner con that Han.

and Chewie pulled in A New Hope, except. Kanan and Sabine pretend that Zeb is a. rare hairless Wookiee. Haven't you ever seen a rare hairless. Wookiee before? It's all a trap though, and Ezra gets. captured by Agent Kallus, voiced by the. amazing actor David Oyelowo. The crew. goes back for Ezra, who had overheard. where the Wookiee prisoners are because. he's such a crafty thief and voice. impersonator on stolen radio comms. So, the Wookiees are being sent into slave. labor in the spice mines on the planet. Kessel, of Kessel Run fame, and would be. shown a few years later in live action. in the Solo film. They free these.

Wookiees and Kanan reveals his Jedi. skills. We get a little Wilhelm scream. when Ezra rescues a Wookiee kid. [screaming]. And Kanan offers to train Ezra in the. ways of the Force, and we hear the rest. of Obi-Wan's hopeful message and how. it's not just a warning, it's a message. of hope and advice on how to move. forward from this. Our future is uncertain. We will each be. challenged, our trust, our faith, our. friendships, and in time, a new hope. will emerge. Ah, a new hope. It's the name of the.

movie. Okay, episode three, Droids in. Distress. The Ghost crew plots to steal. ion disruptors from Minister Maketh Tua. Now, Tua is a character that appears in. the Thrawn novel and in a few Star Wars. comics. R2-D2 and C-3PO cameo. So, folks, season 1 of Rebels in attempt to. win over Star Wars fans often just. plugged in random faces from the OT. But, my favorite cameo here is a droid. piloting this Garrel transport, RX-24, voiced by the wonderful Paul Reubens, who we just lost. I am sorry, sir. Your astromech must proceed to the back.

of the craft. Reubens is an important voice to Star. Wars history. He provided the voice of. R3-X, Rex, from the original Star Tours. ride at Disneyland. And R3-X now serves. as a DJ at Oga's Cantina in Galaxy's. Edge. 3PO and R2 translate for Tua and. they end up on board the Ghost. We learn. the ion disruptors are the weapons that. wiped out most of Zeb's people, the. Lasat. So, he's wary about this deal, but Kallus shows up during their meeting. with Vizago and taunts Zeb with a bow. rifle that he says he took off a Lasat. And he says that he's the one who gave. the order to use those ion disruptors on.

them all. And Zeb loses it. And while. Zeb's about to lose his fight, Ezra. force pushes Kallus away from Zeb and. the crew returns the protocol and. astromech droids to their owner, Senator. Bail Organa. The final shot of this. episode mirrors Leia recording her. message to Obi-Wan on R2 in A New Hope. Okay, episode four, Fighter Flight. Ezra. and Zeb, after some squabbling, go on a. Meiloorun run. The Meiloorun fruit come. back throughout live-action Star Wars. titles. Dave Filoni loves these, and you. can actually get a drink based on the. Meiloorun at Galaxy's Edge. It's so. good. Yeah, this episode is kind of all.

about the fruit. The fruit really is one. of the simple joys of being a rebel, folks. And the shopping list that Hera. gives them includes science dip, space. waffles, large bag, writing cam, and. dill pickles. Ezra runs into family. friend Morad Sumar and Sabine and Ezra. find a crate of Meiloorun and Ezra gets. caught stealing one of them. They escape. in a TIE fighter while Hera and Kanan. hang out back on the Ghost playing. holochess. Zeb and Ezra chase down the. prisoner convoy in the TIE. That's not the TIE you're looking for. Yeah, as Zeb is trying to pull off some.

classic Jedi mind tricks the way Ezra. has been scratching the surface of using. the force these first four episodes. This Imperial troop transport we see is. actually based on a classic Star Wars. toy. You know where the people kind of. plug into the sides of it. And we see. how Sabine graffitied a mural of Zeb and. Ezra and Chopper. She is such a talented. artist, something that will come back in. the final scene of the series. Throughout the show you do get shots of. her room that includes characters that. look a lot like Cad Bane and Embo from. Clone Wars. Episode 5 Rise of the Old. Masters. So this is an important. episode. Please watch this one if you.

can. It's really good. Kanan trains Ezra. using the same methods that Yoda uses. with Luke Skywalker in Empire. The. one-armed handstand and this line. Do or do not. There is no try. What does that even mean? So these Yoda anecdotes will be. important to Ezra since he later. communes with the Jedi Master. And this. episode explores really the deeper. meaning of that quote from Empire which. I think often goes misunderstood. Because I think people think that if you. can't actually accomplish something you. shouldn't even try. That's not really. what it means. It really means begin. with the end in mind. See your target.

Actualize it. Believe in yourself and. set your target on the destination. Don't prematurely commit yourself to a. half measure. Ezra nearly falls to his. freaking death from this training and. pitching machine. Chopper fires another. bottle at Ezra. It lands on a Loth-cat. And these fuzzballs are beloved. creatures that Filoni loves to bring. back in live action. I'm sure we're. going to see quite a few Loth-cats in. Ahsoka. The Imperial news channel gets. hijacked by the anti-Empire senator in. exile Trayvis voiced by Brent Spiner. from Star Trek The Next Generation. Spymaster Luminara Unduli is apparently. imprisoned in The Spire. Now Luminara. Unduli first appeared in Attack of the.

Clones. And she showed up in Clone Wars. as a master of Barriss Offee, the young. Jedi who framed Ahsoka Tano for the. bombing of the Jedi Temple, which led to. Ahsoka leaving the Jedi Order. The. Spire, meanwhile, is where Maul was. actually held in the comic Darth Maul, Son of Dathomir, where he was imprisoned. by Darth Sidious in the part of the. timeline that's set after Clone Wars. season 5. Kanan and Ezra make it to Andu. li cell and realize that it's not. actually her, it's a corpse, AND THE. GRAND INQUISITOR WAS USING her essence. to lure in the Jedi. As Kanan and the. Inquisitor duel, the Inquisitor taunts.

him. Close quarter fighting. Billaba's. emphasis was always on form three, which. you favor to a ridiculous degree. Clearly, you were a poor student. Now, this Inquisitor used to be a Jedi. Temple Guard, and he was there for the. trials of Ahsoka and Barriss in that. Clone Wars arc. And he mentions form. three, there are seven total forms of. lightsaber combat, and form three is the. most defensive one. And this is also the. first time we see the Inquisitor's. rotating double-bladed lightsaber put to. use. Filoni introduced these as kind of. a step up from Maul's double-sided saber. in Phantom Menace. This one spins. They.

escape with the help of Hera and some. horny Tibidees. The Tibidees got their. name from the abbreviation TBD, or to be. determined. team was using TBD as a. placeholder name, and they decided to. just go with it, which is kind of how a. lot of stuff in Star Wars works. Kanan. discovers a new understanding of Yoda's. quote. I'm not going to try to teach you. anymore. If all I do is try, that means I don't. truly believe I can succeed. So, from. now on, I will teach you. Look, I may. fail, you may fail, but there is no try. So, this wisdom is as much for the.

teacher as it is for the student. As. Yoda will later explain in the last. Jedi, which I think is my favorite quote. from the sequel trilogy, Failure also. Yes, failure, [music]. most of all. The greatest teacher. failure is. We are. what they grow beyond. That is the true burden of all masters. So, really, Yoda's wisdom is the rise of. the old masters in this episode's title. Okay, episode 6, Breaking Ranks. Ezra. goes undercover at an Imperial Academy.

posing as cadet named Dev Morgan to. steal a key card to stop a shipment of. kyber crystals, which power lightsabers. and eventually power the Death Star, which is why at the end of this episode. the transport explodes releasing a wild. green shockwave. Ezra and the other. cadets are tested using this well, its. design is inspired by Clone Wars. episodes with the clone troopers, clone. cadets, and the box. The clone troopers. have all since been decommissioned. excluding the bad batch, some of whom. are still alive at this point in the. timeline, as well as Rex, whom we'll. meet in future seasons of Rebels, and I. guess that homeless one that Obi-Wan ran.

into in the Obi-Wan Kenobi series, but. they've all been replaced with Imperial. recruits in the form of stormtroopers, and this is how they're trained. Ezra. gets Callus' key card to the Ghost crew, but he stays behind to break out his. friends, Jai Kell and Zare Leonis, who's. actually also undercover trying to find. his sister Dhara, who went missing from. the academy. The Grand Inquisitor is. coming the next day to take custody of. Ezra and Jai, and the three fight their. way out of the academy in an AT-ST with. the help of the Ghost crew, but Zare. decides to stay behind to continue the. search for his sister, and he faces the. Grand Inquisitor's questioning. Now, long-time New Rockstars viewers know how. much we use Geology and how long we've.

So, the Phantom, which is a. small ship attached to the Ghost, gets. damaged in this episode. Zeb fails to. notice the leak. So, Hera and Sabine. take the Phantom to collect supplies. from a contact named Fulcrum on Fort. Anaxes, which is an abandoned asteroid. base. And Anaxes will later be revisited. in the Bad Batch arc of Clone Wars. season 7, which is set in years before. this when the base was still active. during the Clone Wars in their fight.

against the droid army, the separatists. Hera and Sabine find Fulcrum's crates. marked with a Fulcrum symbol, which yes, does look a bit like a certain Togruta's. head. More on that later, of course. But, Anaxes is infested with Fyrnocks, which are deadly and sunlight averse. With an asteroid about to block out the. sun and the Phantom out of fuel, Hera. and Sabine have to use the explosive. rhydonium to hold them off. Rhydonium. was actually seen in the season 5 Abafar. episodes of Clone Wars. In this episode, we also finally get to see some space. waffles, which were on Hera's shopping. list in episode 4. Galaxy's Edge needs. these on the menu. Okay, episode 8,

Empire Day. Kanan trains Ezra to use the. Force to connect with a Loth-cat, but. Ezra can't focus because it's Empire. Day, celebrating the founding of the. Empire 15 years ago. We also find out. that it's the same day as Ezra's. birthday. He turned 15. He was born the. day the Empire was founded. And 8 years. ago is when the Empire took his parents, Ephraim and Mira. He hasn't seen them. since. He's an orphan, kind of like. Aladdin. We see the Imperial HoloNet. broadcast, which I am fascinated by. We. get a look at Palpatine in this image in. the broadcast is from his younger days. before he became, you know, a hunched.

raisin that shoots lightning. Showing. how really Imperial propaganda is hiding. his true appearance. I like the Aurebesh. ticker here. It translates to Residents. attacked by herd of rabid Loth-cats, tragedy at Boo Boo Barn. Also, part of. this propaganda is the music on this. broadcast, which also we hear during the. parade, an upbeat version of the. Imperial March by composer Kevin Kliner. So, this music is something that exists. in universe for the characters. We also. heard this Imperial propaganda music in. Solo. The Ghost crew throw grenades that. turn out to be fireworks diversions.

Later when the two Death Stars blow up. in the original timeline, those. explosions are kind of celebrated as. literal fireworks in the sky. Tua and. Aresko show off the new Sinar Tie. Advanced V1. The Rebels blow it up. Ezra. takes them to his old house where they. find Cibo. That's the missing Rodian of. this episode. The Empire put tech in his. head that's given him access to. schematics, battle plans, including. AT-ATs or AT-ATs, Tie Interceptors. And. Sabine mentions an encrypted file. talking about a five-year plan for outer. rim planets, which might refer to. Project Stardust. That's a plan to build.

a Death Star cuz about five years from. now is when that will go online. They. get Cibo off the planet and he reveals. he knows what happens to Ezra's parents. To be continued. And we pick up from. there in episode nine, Gathering Forces. When Tie fighters are now chasing the. Ghost and Cibo tells Ezra that troopers. took his parents away. He was too afraid. to stop them or to help raise Ezra. And. Ezra is pissed. The Inquisitor has. attached an X-623 S-thread tracker to. the Phantom right before the Ghost jumps. to hyperspace. The S-thread tracker was. first introduced in Kraken's Rebel Field. Guide, which is a 1991 Star Wars RPG. guidebook. Cibo knows there's a tracker.

on board though, and Kanan and Ezra. detach the Phantom mid-hyperspace to. misdirect the Inquisitor. They take the. Phantom to an access where Ezra tries to. connect with the Fyrnocks using the. Force. An animal taming ability that. Star Wars titles have been exploring. more and more like Grogu with the. rancor. Ezra admits that he's not afraid. of the Fyrnocks, he's afraid of not. knowing the truth about his parents. forgives Cibo and he tames these beasts. They look at Ezra in a way I'm always. trying to get my dog Darla to do with. me, but she won't. The Fyrnocks occupy. the Stormtroopers while the Grand. Inquisitor fights Kanan, gives him the. business. Ezra unsummons the alpha.

Fyrnock using some dark side of the. Force powers. They manage to escape, but. uh-oh. Keep this in mind. Ezra's dark. side affinity just becomes increasingly. important throughout the series, but. this episode ends with Sabine giving us. a bit of hope restoring an image of Ezra. with his parents. Episode 10, Path of. the Jedi. Another important one. Kanan. brings Ezra to a hidden Jedi Temple on. Lothal after that dark side of the force. incident. The Temple demands both master. and Padawan open it together. But once. they're inside, Ezra must face the. challenges alone. In a way, he kind of. has to save his master. It's actually. kind of similar to Luke Skywalker's cave.

quest in Empire Strikes Back or Rey in. that cave in Ahch-To in The Last Jedi. Like Luke and Rey, Ezra faces his worst. fears and his insecurities. A vision of. Kanan killed by the Inquisitor and then. the Ghost crew talk it's a major. about him. The Inquisitor slaughters. them, too. But Ezra manages to snap. himself out of it to make it through the. first few challenges and he hears Yoda's. voice once again voiced by Frank Oz. Big fears have you faced, young one. Who are you? A guide. Yoda also guides Kanan's insecurities as. a master because it's as important to.

teach the master. Yoda is in exile on. Dagobah at this point in history, so. it's just kind of nice to hear that he. mentally calls out to so many Jedi. survivors scattered across the galaxy. during this point in history. In the. Temple, we see etchings on the walls. These were actually inspired by Ralph. McQuarrie's illustration in the. Illustrated Star Wars Universe from. 1995. It seems like we'll learn more. about these kinds of etchings in Ahsoka. Ezra acquires a kyber crystal for his. future lightsaber and when Ezra asks. Kanan if they should use the Temple as a. base, Kanan just says, I know what's in there.

The past. The past because he knows the Jedi. already tried to use the Jedi Temple as. a sanctuary, the Jedi Temple on. Coruscant, the one that was purged. And. Obi-Wan explained in his message the. Jedi are now on a new path. They are. homeless nomads. Episode 11, Idiots. Array. It's the Lando episode. Billy Dee. Williams returns to voice the famous. smuggler beating Zeb in a game of sabacc. and winning Chopper. Name's Calrissian, Lando Calrissian. [music]. Now please, introduce me to my new. droid. His winning hand is Idiots Array. It's a.

winning hand in the game of sabacc. The. rules of the game were detailed in the. Lando novel from 1983. The crew joins. Lando on a smuggling run and they meet. Azmorigan voiced by the great James Hong. who recently appeared in Everything. Everywhere All at Once. His design was. inspired by an early Ralph McQuarrie. design for Jabba the Hutt, actually. I have what you ordered. [snorts]. What do you have to offer in return? Lando offers Hera to as Morgan, but it's. part of his supposed plan to get a. puffer pig who can detect precious.

minerals and puffs up when it gets. scared. Hera does manage to escape and. makes it back to the ghost where she. punches Lando for using her. The ghost. gets past the Imperial blockade and. returns to Lothal where as Morgan waits. for them. There's a big shootout and. Ezra reveals his new lightsaber, but. it's also a blaster gun, which, you. know, every lightsaber should have that. functionality. They drive as Morgan off. and they leave Lando behind with his. piggy. Episode 12, Vision of Hope. So, Ezra has a vision of Senator and exile. Travis including the crew helping Travis. hide and Travis mentioning Ezra's. parents, which matches up with Travis's.

conveniently timed coded broadcast that. he is actually headed to Lothal. So, they think they must meet up with him. Ezra meets up with Zare who says that. Kallus gathered troops at the old Senate. building and the rebels try to warn. Travis that Kallus is setting up a trap, but Kallus and Tua are one step ahead of. them with intel on all of the rebels. They escape into the sewers with Travis. who reveals himself to be an Imperial. spy. Son of a He used those. transmissions to smoke out rebel. sympathizers. Senator Bee Travis also. tells Ezra that his parents are long. dead.

Your parents were very brave and very. foolish. Where are they now? I'll tell. you, my boy. They're gone. But, good news is Hera. suspected Travis was sus and she punched. him after giving him a dud blaster. So, they escape Kallus and the stormtroopers. and Ezra through the blades of that fan. throws one epic death stare back at. Travis before he takes off. Episode 13, Call to Action. So, the Inquisitor and. Tua and Kallus greet Grand Moff Tarkin. on Lothal. So, Tarkin asks why the. rebels keep making gains. In Clone Wars, Tarkin was still just an admiral, but.

Bad Batch kind of shows them in that. transition from then to now. Here we see. him wearing armor similar to a General. Veers wore in Empire Strikes Back, Travis outs the ghost crew to the public. with a reward for their capture so they. can't hide in plain sight anymore. Maybe. you should change your armor, Sabine. And Kanan plans to send a message. hijacking Imperial broadcast from a. communication tower on Lothal, but. Tarkin allows the Inquisitor to execute. Aresko and Grant Tarkin facing away from. them underlining this really is a. message to Tua and Kallus to get their. together. Ezra finally connects to. a Loth-cat to clear a probe droid, but.

they end up being recorded by the. playback. The Inquisitor ambushes them. at the tower capturing Kanan, but Ezra. manages to transmit an inspiring call to. action. Stand up together. Because that's when we're strongest. And although the tower gets blown up, the final seconds of this episode end. not with the theme music, but with this. interesting fade out sound effect. This isn't over. No, it isn't. I like to think their radio message was.

still playing over Hera and Ezra's final. exchange there. And that authentic. uncertainty, that hot mic moment also. went out to inspire the people. Episode. 14, Rebel Resolve. Fulcrum tells Hera. You must stop your search for Kanan and. go into hiding. Now, Fulcrum's voice is sounding more. feminine showing how they're getting. closer to revealing her identity. Ahsoka. Tano also had to forget about her Jedi. master and go into hiding after Order. 66. They intercept the droid courier and. swap it with Chopper who infiltrates the. Imperial systems and steals some info. Chopper pushes an astromech off the.

ghost. Zeb's reaction here is just. great, but that astromech survives. He. just got to tremble between two. Loth-cats. Still pretty mean for Chopper. to do that. They read the file on Kanan. and it lists his past crimes including. theft of Imperial supplies, resisting. arrest, assaulting officers, and. piloting without a license. After some. torture, Kanan is taken to Mustafar, current home to Darth Vader's castle. And Hera describes it as. Mustafar is where Jedi go to die. As it was here where the Jedi Anakin was. overtaken, killed if you will, by the. Sith Lord Vader. And so 15, Fire Across.

the Galaxy, the season 1 finale, the. Ghost crew steals an Imperial transport. and as it takes off, the smoke, exhaust, and dust forms the curved swooshes of. the Rebel insignia. Nice touch there. The tie that Ezra and Zeb stole on. Lothal in episode 4 comes back, but. Sabine has painted it, making it look as. ridiculously flashy and dumb as, you. know, a spy trying to blend in would if. she painted her Mandalorian armor that. way. Whatever, the show's for kids. The. Inquisitor knows that physical torture. isn't working, so he's using Kanan's. guilt over abandoning his master in the. Jedi to try to break him. Kanan recalls.

Depa's last words to him. Run. Again, this is something we will. actually see in The Bad Batch. It's a. heartbreaking moment. Run! The Rebels use pulse detonators to. disable Tarkin's Star Destroyer. Reinforcements are sent in though, so. Chopper contacts Fulcrum. Every time we. see her, her hood, I think back in 2014, I just remember thinking this is. probably Leia, right? But the reveal of. who it really is so much better. Ezra. frees Kanan and the Inquisitor is. waiting for them both. The three of them. duel with lightsabers. Kanan at one. point using Ezra's, Ezra at one point. using Kanan's. It's a two-on-one duel.

evoking the climax of Phantom Menace. It's so great. And Ezra gets thrown off. the bridge. Kanan thinks he's dead and. thinking he has nothing left to fear, he's able to beat back the Inquisitor. The Inquisitor throws himself into the. fire, leaving us with some chilling. final words. You have no idea what you've unleashed. here today. There are some things far. more frightening than death. In this one line, we sense the tortured. life that these Inquisitors lived when. they were living under Vader and the. Emperor. The Rebels are saved by some. Corellian cruisers with the holo. projection of Senator Bail Organa and.

finally revealed the agent Fulcrum, who's not Leia Organa, but Ahsoka Tano. So, what happens now? I don't know. One chapter has closed for you, Ezra. Bridger. This is a new day, A NEW. BEGINNING. AHSOKA TANO! IN 2014, we had last seen. Ahsoka in The Clone Wars series, season. 5, leaving Anakin behind. There were. some unfinished storylines that were. going to be released on Netflix, but it. was so cool to see her again. Now, in. 2020, Ahsoka's immediate aftermath of. Clone Wars season 5 was shown in Clone. Wars final season, season 7, on Disney. Plus. Ahsoka's time in between would be.

explored in the 2016 E.K. Johnston novel. Ahsoka, part of which was adapted in an. episode of Tales of the Jedi in 2022. But here, they have aged up Snips by 15. years. She's got longer Snips. The. stripes are stretched downward. Still. voiced by Ashley Eckstein, though. Rosario Dawson plays her in live action. now. Really, the character just keeps. showing up at all different times in. history. As season 1 began with Vader's. face, so it ends. tells Kallus that the.
