I don't think we are going to see Thrawn until the last episode which is a bummer because I loved the books and can't wait to see him.

Baylan & Shin are Dark Jedi the reason being their Sabre's are dark orange and neither fully aligning with the Sith. Other than light they could be knowledgeable in the dark side to some capacity.

[@LeChaunce]

Yes, like Kenny on South Park, Filoni curses like a sailor when recording Chopper's dialogue, and sometimes it's not distorted enough to be completely unintelligible. This is in part a tribute to when R2-D2 had actual dialogue and was similarly foul-mouthed. (3PO's dialogue is sprinkled with examples of him responding to this -- "You watch your language!")

[@madelinegarber7860]

Lol I love that!

[@jameswg13]

[@kjaime7030]

I've never watched any of the animated series, but these first episodes have me VERY attached to the new characters (to me) of Hera and Sabine and the droids (and cat) plus the other jedi and apprentice, and I never felt lost about their relationships (in fact, now I want to go watch the earlier series). So I think they did a fabulous job of fan service yet also introducing them to live-action-only fans.

[@ThisIsMyFullName]

If you never watched any of the animated series, then Rebels is perfect for you. It was kinda made for people who haven't watched any Star Wars before, almost as an opposite to The Clone Wars which can get very lore heavy. Rebels has great characters, great character development, the voice-overs are fantastic, the animation holds up really well, it's only 4 seasons and it gets better with each one. Go watch it!

[@kjaime7030]

@ThisIsMyFullName I have decided I will. I saw they are also only half an hour, which makes it less daunting. Thanks!

[@UncleMilo]

That scene with Ahsoka tapping the mural and meeting Ahsoka is absolutely the final scene from Rebels.

[@donaldwatson7698]

But minus the prominent staff in the animated version, and some have pointed out a different color on Ahsoka's cloak. The latter I can attribute to translation from animation, but the staff's absence doesn't seem like something Filoni would leave out, especially when Ahsoka tapping it brought attention to it. Very curious.

[@ThisIsMyFullName]

It is the final scene from Rebels, almost frame by frame. I expect someone has already done a side by side comparison by now.

[@Indiana_Minotaur]

Love seeing Chopper in this episode. Seeing Chop's reactions, the animation, etc. It's just *chefs kiss*

[@lordofalltime]

the jedi might have had lists of 'force sensitive' children, but the Mandalorian clans weren't exactly on good terms with the Jedi. So they might not pass on the information, allow their children to be tested or taken. So Sabine might've had force abilities that went unnoticed and unused like Leia

[@DarthLoki]

I can't help but laugh watching Nikki's face as Steven explains the world between worlds and all the in-depth lore that goes with this series. She's like "Yeah, ok. The show is cool. You're such a nerd, but you're MY nerd!"

[@bennickell8477]

The thing to remember while Sabine might not be force sensitive the force flows through everything and everyone.

[@Norkkah]

Everyone is Force sensitive. George Lucas said anyone can use the Force but Jedi and Sith are more atoned to the Force and learning how to use it comes easier for them.

I think Hu Yang is my new favorite droid that can do more than beep. He’s sassy and gave Sabine a much needed reality check. Like stop feeling sorry for yourself. You’re the only one who can change things now. And the Sabine theme when she took her saber back got me very excited. Trials of the Dark Saber is in my top 3 Rebels episodes.

18:38 Huyang is just telling Sabine exactly what she needs to hear. Huyang has trained all sorts of Padawan with different personalities, including those with a streak of rebelliousness. Tell Sabine she can't do something, and she'll probably try to prove you wrong!

[@RedSinter]

Yes, she's the one who had the Beskar Spear. She is also a relative of Bruce Lee. I'm not sure in what respect. Thrawn is in the Galaxy where the lineage of the name Skywalker came from it's an amalgun of Sky Walkers. The people who have the ability to thread the needle from an area unnavigable without the Sky Walkers abilities.

[@l.piloto7964]

She is the daughter of Dan Inosanto, Bruce Lee's most famous student who was the instructor at his school while he was making movies. Bruce also put him in the movie game of Death, he fought Bruce using Kali sticks and nunchaku. Her middle name is Lee as a sign of love and respect from her father to Bruce.

[@MetalMcfly]

@@l.piloto7964 Dan is also one of only 3 people in the world to be personally certified black belt in Bruce's Jeet Kun Do system. In the martial art world, Dan is considered a God where as his daughter today is considered a legend and rightfully so. This woman is incredible. World champion

[@willv7868]

That scene with Sabine and the mural is almost identical to the Rebels scene. Pretty cool.

[@michaelwolf8690]

I hadn't really paid attention to it before because of the AHHH Star Wars! in every scene but the show does a real slick job of developing character, especially between Ahsoka and Sabine. There's so much storytelling about the character in these little scenes of them talking to others. It's great television.

[@JayGHDTTP]

Based on Mando Season 3, Zeb is currently serving as a pilot/officer in the New Republic. Hera probably knows how to contact him. I don't think we will see any mention of the World Between Worlds because Ezra destroyed the Jedi Temple where the portal to it was located.

[@goldenburger836]

So as far as I know Sabine has some force potential. Kanan mentions so when they are training with the dark Saber. Whatever the reason, kanan didn't think it nessasary to train her. Her ability to use the force is small compared to Ezra or other padawans

I believe that Inquisitor is new. Initially, many fans thought it was the Eighth Brother because of the similarities of the helmet but this Inquisitor has human hands and feet while the Eighth Brother, being a Terellian Jango Jumper, has three fingers on each hand and two toes on each foot. According to the Star Wars website, his name is Marrok, he outlived the Inquisitorius/Empire, and became a mercenary working for Morgan Elsbeth.

[@davidge5856]

Check out Mary Elizabeth Winstead (General Hera Syndulla) in Final Destination 3, Live Free or Die Hard, the prequel to John Carpenter's The Thing, Abe Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (as Mrs. Lincoln), 10 Cloverfield Lane, Gemini Man, and Kate, if you want to stop thinking about her as Ramona Flowers from Scott Pilgrim (although she reprises that role in an upcoming animated Netflix series). She has a long history of doing GREAT work in movies that often aren't quite as good as she is, but Live Free or Die Hard and 10 Cloverfield Lane - plus Ahsoka now - stand out as productions worthy of her talent.

Favorite Ahsoka Characters So Far (never seen Rebels yet) 1. Ahsoka Tano 2. Shin Hati 3. Huyang 4. Chopper 5. Baylan Skoll 6. Morgan Elsbeth 7. Hera Syndulla 8. Sabine Wren 9. Ryder Azadi The droids are the only ones adding humor to Ahsoka. Huyang is quite similar to K-2SO who I enjoyed from Rogue One. I like droids that speak their mind. *Diana* *Lee* *Inosanto* The actress who portrays Morgan Elsbeth is Filipina from her dad side. Her last name is a giveaway. She's already 57 but she's a trained martial artist and stuntwoman. She did stunts in Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV series), Face/Off, and Blade. Her dad was a student of Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do and Bruce was her godfather! She knows eskrima which is a Filipino martial art. I didn't bother to look her up after The Jedi episode in The Mandalorian S2 but now I'm a total supporter for this actress! She's more badass than Ming-Na Wen and I love Ming-Na Wen as Fennec Shand. Ming-Na is actually good friends with Filipina singer, Lea Salonga. I'm a huge fan of Zoë Bell from the Tarantino films. Zoë was Cate Blanchett's stunt double in Thor: Ragnarok among many stunts she did for MCU and Xena: Warrior Princess. Diana being a Filipina martial artist who knows JKD, eskrima, and being a trained stuntwoman has already made me a fan of Morgan Elsbeth. Hiring *Bruce* *Lee's* *goddaughter* is perfect for Ahsoka. I bet Diana Lee Inosanto trains Rosario since eskrima/kali/arnis involves two fighting sticks and Ahsoka happens to be a double-wielder. I don't see Morgan dying anytime soon. I expect Baylan to get killed off. They'll keep Diana around like The Mandalorian did with Giancarlo Esposito for three seasons. If Diana's character does get killed this season, I could still see her "stick" around to help choreograph the fight scenes and train Rosario wielding two lightsabers. I love Michelle Yeoh but she's not a real martial artist like Diana. Diana is very close friends with Shannon Lee, Bruce's only surviving offspring and daughter. They're practically sisters. I'm seeing a lot of photos with Diana and Shannon together. There's a cute one with them doing a peace sign and the photo above it is their dads doing the same. See one with Diana next to Brandon and Shannon when they were still kids. Think about it, we have Bruce Lee's goddaughter helping with a Star Wars project and she's representing Filipinos! That's badass. Filipinos are finally getting represented well in Disney. We're not stuck with just Ned in the MCU Spider-Man films. Bruce Lee's teachings lives on!!! There's one scene in Ahsoka where I had to slow it down to 0.25x speed on my phone. When the droid dropped from the ceiling. Ahsoka slashed it twice but it went so quickly. If you see it in slow-mo, it looks solid. She does wield them out smoothly. Rosario's movements aren't really stylish and dynamic like Hayden's and Adam's as she's not athletic like them in their 20s and 30s, but it's simpler and efficient. No unnecessary, wasted motions. I'm starting to heart Shin Hati. I'm interested in her ulterior motives. Like why is she asking those questions to Morgan and Baylan? I'm not sexist and don't mind female-centric shows if three of my all-time favorite shows are I Love Lucy, Derry Girls, and The Golden Girls. I found Dedra from Andor interesting. I wanted to see perspective from a female officer of the Empire's imperial security. Calling Ahsoka "WOKE" is like calling every previous female-centric show woke like The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Charlie's Angels, Sex In The City, and 30 Rock. I guess Lifetime, Hallmark, and BET are all woke then. The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air from the 90s feels woke if it first premiered this year. Has some preachy moral message at the end in some episodes. Jesse Spano from Saved By The Bell was 30 years ahead at being a super feminist woke character. Too late, Kathleen. Woke is a term used by misogynists or sexist guys because they prefer male-centric content. I guess Kick-Ass was being woke because Hit-Girl kicked the most ass in those two films based from comics. Female-centric content is fine as long as the female characters are likable and not unlikable like Helena Shaw in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny or Brie Larson and Rachel Zegler in real life. BTW, I'm a gawd damn Trumper and hate the gender/race swapping. But I think woke is an overused BS word used as some defensive mechanism. If you don't want films and TV to get political, then stop using that word that triggers political debates! Woke to me is like rehabilitation to Red in The Shawshank Redemption. A bullshit word. What really constitutes as being woke these days? By having more women or minorities on TV and films? Is that supposed to be a bad thing? Why can't The Force be women? Didn't Anakin come out of a woman when he was born? Who raised him? The world wouldn't be able to reproduce without a woman's reproduction organs that releases a baby from their womb. One of Tupac Shakur's most popular songs is praising his mama. I've been loving female characters dating back to Lucy Ricardo. I love Trinity from The Matrix and Hela from Thor: Ragnarok. So far, I like The Armorer, Bo-Katan, Peli (she's fun), and Cara Dune from The Mandalorian, Fennec Shand from The Book of Boba Fett, Vel, Maarva, Mon Mothma, Dedra, Bix, and Kleya from Andor, and Ahsoka, Shin Hati, and Morgan from Ahsoka. Miss you, Gina Carano! Not a great actress but I liked Cara Dune. Real quick on Vel Sartha, the actress who portrays her (Faye Marsay) has a great set of boobs! I don't care if she turns binary and I start to refer to her as they/them, Faye Marsay is hot af! She reminds me of Pollyanna McIntosh in The Walking Dead. Jadis/Anne isn't attractive in TWD, but once you see Pollyanna naked, you'll think she's hot. I like how Tony Gilroy positions each character towards awkward situations from Andor. I like that in Andor, Vel is ordered to assassinate Cassian to eliminate the loose ends after succeeding a major heist together. That's very cutthroat and Game of Thrones-like. Nobody should be trusted during a planned rebellion considering it can endanger everyone's lives. Bourne writer, Tony Gilroy, is an underrated contributor for Disney SW. Rogue One and Andor are both excellent. And we forget Rogue One starred a female, Felicity Jones as Jyn Erso. Favorite Females From Disney+ SW 1. The Armorer (she got more action in S3) 2. Peli Motto 3. Vel Sartha 4. Mon Mothma 5. Maarva Andor 6. Bo-Katan Kryze 7. Dedra Meero 8. Ahsoka Tano 9. Shin Hati 10. Fennec Shand 11. Cara Dune 12. Bix Caleen 13. Morgan Elsbeth 14. Kleya Marki Andor seems to have the most female characters I like. Notice I didn't list Sabine Wren yet. I'm still not sure about her. Another overused SW trope using a rebellious boy or girl. Didn't we already see this with Anakin and Kylo Ren and a little bit from Luke in Empire? My biggest fear is Sabine ruining the show by being too annoying, emo, rebellious, or predictable (cliché). That Sabine is an Asian version of Reva. Shin Hati pretty much kicked her ass at the end of Ep 1 like Ilsa would do to Grace had they got into a fight in Dead Reckoning Part One. Sabine = another Reva? We'll see...

[@tiagoalves2056]

That woke thing is getting stupid at this point....

[@darthfatass42069]

I like the fact they went back a recreated the final scene of rebels. However, Ahsoka refuses to train Grogu but trained Sabine but then ‘walks away’ from her but then decides to train Sabine because Sabine dresses up in her Mando gear and says ‘I’m ready’. I am interested to see if the rumor that inquisitor is Ezara but seems to be convenient.

[@TheEldritchStrom]

I feel like the only reason Sabine is alive is because Shin Hati is sort of a reluctant villain and she saw something of herself in Sabine. She could of ended that duel early multiple times but it may of also just been that she wanted the practice and challenge like, "Oh, my Master has been training me for years to use these techniques and for once I finally get to use them." So you could view it under any slant but the way she has been portraying the character and acting it seems like she doesn't necessarily want to be doing what she's doing she has just been mentored so long it's all she knows. Because let's face it, she has the training, and Maul knew exactly where to put his saber to kill Qui-Gon (Seemed like he got him in the spine and like center mass.) meanwhile Shin just goes for an empty body cavity pocket/intestines? (Was well under her last lower rib on the right.) Or Sabine just got insanely lucky and helped super fast. Stuff I'm sure bacta could fix. I mean... Granted, it's Star-Wars. The real world mechanics behind getting stabbed with a lightsaber would be your blood superheating instantly and exploding inside your body but we're going to ignore that part. XD

[@NotSoAverageMe]

Qui-Gon had to wait for the entire fight to be done to see if he was even savable, Sabine was taken care of quicker. Kenobi would have had to use his entire life force in order to bring Qui-Gon back to full life. Love Rebels and this Ahsoka/5th season of Rebels seems promising .

With the connection to the Sisters of Dathomir and at this point in the post-Empire and pre-First Order timeline, I can't help but wonder if we'll get to see Cal Kestis somewhere in this series. After the events of Jedi Survivor it would be a good spot to put him into live action as well.

[@lordfoul6259]

I don't think we'll see any of the characters from those games until the third one comes out otherwise spoilers like take this for example how would you feel if Cal and Merrin show up in live action and then a few years after that the third and final game comes out and it takes place like a year before they appear in live action you're not gonna be worried if they survive the game

[@donaldwatson7698]

The inquisitor, Steven, is Marrok, who's name comes from Arthurian legend. A Sir Marrok was turned into a wolf by the sorceress Morgan Le Fey. (Marrok & Morgan, get it?) Skoll and Hati, the last names of the other two villains, are also names of wolves from Scandinavian tales. Filoni loves his wolves. As to what Marrok's Inquisitor number was, and if that's his real name, not sure yet. I'm reasonably certain after reviewing fan theories that it is not Ezra, since we've now have evidence he's in another galaxy, nor is it likely Starkiller, unless they dramatically under-powered him.

Chopper is for me nr. 1 droid. I hope the make a little movie about him. He is so fun, and if I see him, I got a big smile.

[@Amos18289]

Yep, and the name of the movie should be '' Chopper : The War Criminal " 😂😂

[@JAYWALKER1000]

The inquisitor is not any "nth" brother. He goes by Marrok - conveniently close to another name - so he's either a version of that character being brought into canon or a red herring to make us think that. Since Favreau & Filoni brought Ahmed Best's Kelleran Beq into canon doing the same for Sam Witwer's Starkiller is a possibility. Sam is in the credits as doing "additional voices".

This show is a Star Wars spectacle on its own. Therefor, you don’t need to watch Rebels. BUT, it’s a 100% more rewardable experience if you did.

I think they showed Zeb as a teaser. So I think we will definitely see Zeb again. Hara will find and have him join her again.

I appreciate the Spaceballs reference 😂 y'all are cultured in quality cinema

[@ghost32700]

That inquisitor held his own against Ahsoka..unlike others. He's also played by Sam Witwer(Star Killer), i think it would be awesome if it was Star Killer, another apprentice of Anakins/Darth Vader.

[@NikkiStevenReact]

I’m not buying the inquisitor being Starkiller. If it is, he’ll have to be WAY different than the game version and Sam’s name being in the credits doesn’t carry any water, he’s in the credits for tons of Star Wars content. Could be cool though. Vader apprentice vs Anakin apprentice.

[@ExUSSailor]

So far, the only thing revealed about that Inquisitor is his name, Marrok. I'm assuming we'll find out more as the show progresses.

[@ShaunRansom]

Sabine, when your midichlorian count is 1...

[@kiwikaboodle]

Steven's comment at 11:08, 'It's like a video game', is more apt when you realise the device Sabine is holding is an old 'Galaxy Invader' hand held game from the late 70's upside down. :D

[@logicchief7884]

the inquisitor name is marrok which isn't a really inquisitor name which are all called like 3rd sister, tenth brother etc. So my guest with this being after the fall of the empire he took on his real name and was hired as a mercenary for morgan or one theory is that it's Ezra Bridger in there after being corrupted by the dark side. you know in rebels he struggled with the dark side from time spent with maul and at the sith temple.

[@yotimbo1737]

If that’s the case there may be mind flayed involvement or maybe nightsister magic

[@lmsarmiento]

Chopper continues to be everyone's favorite "War Crimes Murder Bot". As a fan that has watched both Clone Wars and Rebels multiple times, I enjoyed your different perspectives and reactions to 1 and 2. Looking forward to the remainder of a series that did the franchise, the various animated series, and especially the crew of the Ghost, proud in their live-action premiere.

[@Ingeneious]

Oh guys, that knife that Sabine used to cut her hair was the same one that Kanan used.

[@tomaskennedy]

22:54 That’s exactly what I thought he’d said!! You can pretty much understand a lot of what he’s saying, really.

[@Ingeneious]

The final scene with Sabine and Ahsoka, I think we're going to revisit it later.

[@mojoriot2293]

My guess is that the unknown inquisitor is going to end up being Ezra. Brainwashed into being an inquisitor & helping Thrawn. It just seems like a SW type 'twist'. ...But man, I really hope I'm wrong. Lol. 🤘🤪

[@MicavityCatYT]

Chop is the most adorable war criminal

[@josh53566]

i can’t help but think Huyang clarifying that Ezra’s lightsaber now belongs to Sabine is Dave Filoni’s way of also clarifying that Anakin’s lightsaber was Rey’s as well lol

[@christopherpoet458]

Agree to disagree.

[@blueshark7385]

Ezra gave his lightsaber to Sabine. Anakin did not give his lightsaber to Rey.

Hera: "I can't just shoot it down, it would crash into the Port City." Chop: "And that's bad?"

[@DANTE83100]

The way i personally see it with Ahsoka training Sabine, it was not just with the Light Sabre, but also the Jedi code/philosophy. It could be argued the code is just as (if not more) important than being force sensitive.

[@thontor]

Qui-Gon got stabbed in the center straight through his spine. Sabine was stabbed lower and to the side so at worst she lost a kidney or something. Sabine also had intimidate medical attention with that bacta infused bandage.

[@syahrulreza]

15:21 I thought the same thing 🤣 I think Steve should show Nikki some clips of our favourite murder droid Chopper a bit more before the next episode!

[@soogz]

Ive been calling that inquistor "The Last Brother" but his name is Marok i guess

[@Tjoppy]

About that inquisitor: I've read two theories, that he's either Starkiller or Ezra.

[@NikkiStevenReact]

Would be shocked if Starkiller ever made it to this canon. Such a cool character. Would be an odd story question if it’s Ezra. He was with Thrawn but was able to get to back to help the people working to find Thrawn?

[@Tjoppy]

@@NikkiStevenReact I thought the same, would be weird if it was Ezra with that in mind. Still, the theory is there. I'll just let Star Wars surprise me 😄

[@NikkiStevenReact]

Oh I totally love the theories. I’m always down for fun theories. As long as it doesn’t ruin the personal experience, they are fun.

[@tiagoalves2056]

Starkiller is too OP 😅as much i like him he is now Galen marek ex Sith and a Jedi if he was cannon

[@alvarogarcia9862]

the inquisitor is the eight brother??? it seems so much alike him (the one that allegdly dies because his lightsaber was damaged during the battle with ezra and maul and falls down when using it to flee like a helicopter in rebels...)

[@MarkBatres]

“Keep it short for our intro” Intro: ends up being 7mins 😂

[@NikkiStevenReact]

longer than the ep1 intro.... oops!!!

[@extraleague01]

that Inquisitor named Marrok is supposedly a new character that made his first appearance in this show, like the 2 dark Jedi(I don't think they're Sith), Baylan and Shin, who first appeared in this show, although we don't know the face behind the helmet yet.

[@NickTwohig]

The Star Wars Disney+ shows up til now have had the Dave Filoni timing, but this is the first one that has the timing and the content and story to back it up.

[@frances3064]

I think Baylon is playing the role of Joruus C’baoth from heir to the empire and I think the girl is playing the role of jade

[@ortizmo]

I think Baylon IS C'baoth, but that's just my theory.

Really like how they ended episode 2 with the ending scene from Rebels

[@normanover]

Sabine, or the women who plays her was also lucy McClane in one of the Die Hard movies

[@BumpyBaluga]

The Inquisitor's name is Merak. The theory is, is that he is Galen Merak, aka Starkiller's clone, since Sam Witwert is listed in the credits. MY theory is that its Jacyn Sanulla, Kanan and Hara's kid. But Im reaching lol..
