Yes very much so

[@ObligedUniform]

Still incredibly appropriate that a random "filler" episode's plot is what defeats Thrawn. They never mentioned it to their allies and the Purgill seem to be an incredibly rare galactic mystery. The one way to beat thrawn. Throw in something that even he could not possibly predict.

[@lord2.0works]

@@lord2.0works He didnt have time to get better, his time was over in the Empire and he knew it. Its all explained in the canon Thrawn novel, the last one. That novel explains where Thrawn was while he was absent the past few episodes. Palpatine was planning on betraying Thrawn and his homeworld. The only reason Thrawn joined the Empire was to have the Empire as an ally to defeat the, even worse, empire in the unknown regions. Most likely Thrawn and Ezra arw now allies and working together to destroy this bigger evil out there

This is even more fitting knowing that George Lucas used the Biblical Devil as inspiration for the Emperor's character.

Anything to say?

[@TheGreater-ScopeVillain]

It's crazy that the Emperor was *_so close_* to accessing the World Between Worlds and thus becoming an all-powerful god with absolute control over space-time and reality itself *_TWICE_* this season, first in the episode of the same title and now here in the finale. Now that Ezra has destroyed the last remnants of the Lothal Jedi Temple, Palpatine will have to resume his normal, longer path to universal domination via the Empire, at least until he can find another access point to the World Between Worlds or unlock the secrets of the Force in another way. Consequently, this makes these last few battles in Rebels arguably the most significant in Star Wars history.

[@codefreak8]

I liked that as he went, Gregor sounded "normal". Like he had some level of clarity in the end.

[@jamesmoyner7499]

After I read the book Thrawn Treason I realized when Ezra took himself and Thrawn into hyperspace he actually saved Thrawn’s life because The Emperor was planning on having him killed when he returned from Lothal.

[@N3xtStopHell]

Why did the emperor plan on having Thrawn killed?

[@jamesmoyner7499]

@@N3xtStopHell Because of his secrecy about the Chiss people and how it looked to the Emperor that he was a traitor to the Empire.

[@technolegends306]

Correct! This was the best outcome for Thrawn! And I think Ezra will join Thrawn, Eli Vanto and the Chiss to defeat the Gryysks. At least I hope so, it would make the most sense rather than having Thrawn be the villain (even tho he isnt) but Star Wars has a trackrecord of ignoring the comics and novels

[@shahrobp]

Was he going to kill him? If I remember correctly, he said he wanted to talk to him at LENGTH. Of course, he could have him killed during their conversation. But I don't remember killing Thrawn being his original intent. Anyway you spin it. Thrawn is definitly safer away from the emperor.

[@chaost4544]

I'm wondering, is there some validity to the idea because Ezra and Kanan were completely separated from the doctrine of the Jedi council and they had to figure out the Jedi way on their own was one of the reasons why they were special? This is probably the only Star Wars series where personal attachments enhanced the main characters understanding of the force.

[@conallgough4642]

Luke’s entire character is based on the fact that he rejects the dogmatic view of the Jedi to save his father. Until they invalidated that in the sequels but still.

[@dadian803]

It should be the way of the Jedi. Have personal attachments but willing to sacrifice yourself like Kanan and Ezra did. What lead others to the dark side is the fear. They want to have everything. Fear of loss, power etc. This is what Luke preached in Legends to the New Jedi Order. It's not bad to marry etc. but not be too selfish. Of course, there are still some who fall to the dark side but I see that as natural. You even have their friends/masters who tries to talk some sense and say let go/entrust the future to the new gen until the other party is far too gone and the only way to stop further harm is to kill them.

[@Gunshot25]

"Cad Bane is never happy" ah you forget the 3 seconds he stole Quinlan Vos' lightsaber vs Obi-Wan

[@pwytbt]

I so, so, SO hope we get to see Sabine and Ahsoka reunite with Ezra in one of the next Disney+ series'. There's already been all kinds of rumors for casting of those two so I am hopeful, especially with them setting Thrawn up as the 'Thanos' of the non-movie Star Wars canon.

[@JTube571]

I'm almost 100% certain that the Ahsoka show will give us the conclusion we need.

[@renuzui]

They already cast an actress for Sabine for the live action Ahsoka series.

[@anonymouspenguin9876]

considering the canon Thrawn books he is not the big bad people seem to assume from the Rebels show, I highly recommend reading all 6 books or looking up a synopsis. But long story short going by those books Ezra and Thrawn should become buddies after this episode, Thrawn as a character was never actually invested in the ideals of the empire and in book 3 (which ends just before these episodes) Thrawn is already planning on leaving the empire and returning to the Chiss ascendancy before Palpatine can have him killed. Thrawn only joined the empire to gain an alliance against some unknown threat to the Chiss, Ezra is most likely now a unlikely ally for Thrawn helping the Chiss in the intervening years XD

[@HonestMaestro]

Pretty sure they've already cast Ezra and Sabine

[@connorredshaw7994]

I tried Clone Wars when it was new, but it didn’t grab me. Rebels pulled me in and made me eventually go back and love Clone Wars, a love which now extends to Bad Batch as well. As good as the recent live-action series have been, it’s animation where the modern spirit of Star Wars truly lives on. Dave Filoni has given us a great gift, many times over.

[@conorb7094]

Totally agreed, I feel like Star Wars animation has a very special quality. It's able to be a lot more imaginative and expressive than the live action shows.

[@protector_of_the_realms]

I love Clone Wars and Rebels. Not really big on Bad Batch much at all unfortunately though I don’t hate it but in terms of live action I absolutely love Andor. Haven’t seen Mandalorian yet but yeah all the other live action projects have been absolute garbage so I agree with you there haha. Rogue One was pretty decent though and Solo was fineish

[@ackarcue203]

You goddamn prophet

[@SK-zo3bq]

I'm SO invested in the Thrawn/Ezra story. I'm an old-school Thrawn fan, having read the Heir to the Empire series as a kid, and I've (for the most part) really enjoyed the re-canonization of Thrawn in the new novels. I think there's an excellent opportunity for Thrawn's story following the end of this episode. Thrawn is first and foremost a strategist, with no allegiance to the Empire beyond his own sense of honor and his mission given to him by his home world government, the Chiss Ascendancy. The books left off with the Ascendancy being under threat from the Gryssk, and I believe that Thrawn and Ezra's story will be one of foe's turned allies. The Chaos beyond the Outer Rim prevents hyperspace travel without a force-sensitive "Skywalker". Thrawn will have to work with Ezra to get back to the Ascendancy, and Ezra will end up joining the fight against the Gryssk once he puts aside his personal feelings towards Thrawn and decides to do the "Jedi" thing and help fight for good. Truly a wonderful opportunity for character development by both characters.

[@jakesteakfries7969]

It's so sureal to see this come to an end. I remember watching the first time Eric and Aaron were watching rebels. I don't remember exactly when I started to watch but it was around season 3 when the obi wan reveal was in the trailer. I am so happy to be apart of seeing this journy come to an end

I really do want to see the Rebel crew in Ahsoka live-action. Though having the whole Rebels crew would be a bonus of course. Hopefully I get to see Zeb and Kallus cuz I love the interactions between the both of them. I feel the Lasat people might hold the key to finding Ezra, similar to how they searched for the planet Lira San to settle down. Kallus also served under Thrawn so having him in live-action makes sense story-wise as he can give input from an Imperial perspective.

From Ian McDiarmid's "Chancellor Palpatine" persona return, to various beautiful storyline conclusions like Rex and Endor, Kallus and Zeb, Jason Syndulla's introduction and many more.

I never realized how long I've been watching you guys doing reactions, until today. I was watching those reactions from Season 2 on. I was part of the fans of Rebels when it aired, and like Eric pointed out rewatching series is a sign people liked it. I'm pretty sure I've done 3 or 4 rewatches since it aired. My most recent one was after Stranger In A Strange Land aired at the end of January(Did a full chronological rewatch from TPM to BOBF). Doing so not only gave me an appreciation of BOBF, but it also made me realize something. Dave doesn't waste anything. From the Droid episodes of CW, to the Jar Jar episodes, to so called "filler episodes" here in Rebels, it's ALL played into the larger narrative. And I'VE LOVED every minute of it

8:30 You could say the Ugnaught was hamming it up... I'll see myself out.

[@jasonlane1528]

"Get him, squiddy!" Eric makes you laugh no matter what.

[@Pinkielover]

The part that always gets me in this episode and makes me cry or tear up , when Ezra's parents say to him "We love you Ezra" as he destroys the Gateway.. makes me think of my parents even more rip mom and dad i miss you both.. I think of all the times that they used to say that to me "we love you "Fill in my name" I'm sure there's a lot of people out there that miss there parents the same way..

[@DrSmurrie]

Thanks again for this Wave Squadron, it was the perfect way to rewatch and refresh Rebels for Ahsoka!

[@Zeno_The_Zero]

It’s been years and I only recently remembered on the rewatch, but didn’t Sabine put a tracker on Ezra’s wrist communicator.

[@JinxTheLooneyToon915]

Blind Wave's reaction videos of Star Wars Rebels (December 4th, 2020 - April 21st, 2022)

[@NorthernLaw_]

I still remember Eriks excitement when he saw it say "Chopper: Dave Filoni" for the first time, amazing

[@Mike-the-Jedi]

Ahsoka is coming soon, had to revisit this watch-through. Here's hoping, in the inevitable flashbacks, we get a live-action scene of the purgill dragging a star destroyer into hyperspace.

[@hue_weberwolf187]

Crazy that it's over now 😄, I loved to rewatch it together with you 🤩🙌🏻. Btw at the Moment I watched many other SW Rebels Reaction from S1 & S2 from you to prepare 4 the finaly 😁.

[@timebolt8836]

Gonna be weird to not have Blind Wave Rebels reactions anymore. Maybe you guys should start watching Resistance. IT IS NOT AS BAD as everyone thinks, its actually a lot of fun - Also, a little sad fact, Gregor getting shot in the chest in TBB, is a reference to how he dies.

[@theawesomeman9821]

how about they react to Gendy Tartavasky's animated Star Wars instead?

[@steviehills4256]

I can't believe it's over! I thoroughly enjoyed this reaction so much!

[@rhyanshelby6572]

When I see little Jacen in live action one day I will fall on the floor in tears

[@Revan5310]

Rebels was the one thing that bring me to all star wars, this show change my life when I was 10, but just like 2 weeks ago I finaly finished all seasons. I knew this was going to end and i'm very happy to can watch your videos and follow all the interesting and funny conversations. I love you guys and i'm so excited for Kenobi to start and see your reaction :)

[@thedarkknight2221]

After seeing you guys rewatch and catch Calvin and Rick up with everyone else on Clone Wars and Rebels I am now even MORE excited for Ahsoka. I am absolutely gonna tear up when I see Sabine and Ezra back, and in live action especially! I hope we get a peak at Hera and Jacen as well. But I REALLY can’t wait to se Thrawn back.

[@Milkdromida]

Just finished rebels this week myself. It's quite underrated from what I heard about it. Season 3 and 4 really picks up.

[@kevinworytko1099]

It's been a hell of a ride going on this journey. Thank you for this.

[@littlemeljoe]

And I’m glad I was here for both times you’ve reacted to them

[@technolegends306]

23:56 Thrawn was never on corrusant. I really hope Blind Wave is gonna read the Thrawn novels, not only because its insanely important for the lore and it gives huge insights for the Ashoka show, but also because theyre star wars fans and missing out on so much story

[@crazyjackdonan6174]

It was truly amazing to be a part of this journey! I watched the premiere of the first clone wars reaction and the original rebels reaction. I love Star Wars and I love these shows. It was so much fun to watch it again through your eyes. Big round of applause to everyone at Blind Wave!

[@LEE-kq9tq]

Rebels is SO GOOD. So much better than Clone Wars imo. My husband and I binge watched both back to back basically and... Rebels is just on a whole other level.

[@Jarrlid97]

It's been years, literal YEARS, since you guys started Clone Wars and Rebels. Its gonna be weird not having a new Star Wars Reaction on Thursdays. I'm gonna miss it.

[@joselinvalle6219]

Congratulations Rick and Calvin for being caught up on Star Wars! Rebels truly is a special gem in the SW universe that will always be peak nostalgia for me. Glad you guys enjoyed it!

[@inefekt]

I can never tell whether Aaron is crying or laughing hysterically...

[@fasstaerke]

thrawn should have been the villain of ep. 7-9, so much potential

[@Vahki100]

Since this is the last time I get the chance to gush over Palpatine's master planning in both Clone Wars and Rebels, here's another cool tidbit: He first tried to get Ezra to put himself out of the equation by saving Kanan. That failed, but Ezra made a vital mistake. He specifically mentioned he misses his parents. So Palpatine then presents him with this opportunity. He dons his "kind old man" mask and approaches this from a different angle. I fully believe that he genuinely offered him a portal to save both Kanan and his parents. By doing either, he would forever sever the link between Ezra and Kanan/The Ghost crew. So if Ezra took his offer, he'd get what he think he wants/needs but he'll also ultimately play right into Palpy's hands. Very, very Sauron-esque.

[@NorthernLaw_]

That opening piece was really cool, really enjoyed watching your reactions to this show, again, can't wait to see what the ending of this show has in store for us for other Star Wars projects like Ahsoka, and whatever else comes

[@tlinit]

The end of an era. So glad to have been a part of this!! Thank you, guys!!

[@chaost4544]

Seeing Calvin and Rick react Clone Wars to the end of Rebels was a great journey. Is it time to start Stargate or Battlestar Galactica?

[@riccardogemme]

Would be great

[@gregstephens]

Babylon 5?

[@kereminde]

@@gregstephens Okay, I'd love this one instead of Stargate. Much as I'd love to see them meet Teal'c, after meeting Hondo it's fitting they meet Londo.

[@drunkill]

Sg1 would be great for this channel

[@gregstephens]

@@kereminde And with so many more Londo scenes than Hondo scenes!

[@Sage2000]

This show... the way it began simple, humble... and so powerful. Maybe the best star wars I have seem in years

[@mrpeterbujnak]

Been a pleasure sharing this adventure with you.

[@LEGENDCITYest1963]

Ezra had a purpose it was not to be a Great Jedi and WIN back the universe, it was simply to protect his people and his planet and he did it with the best of his ability.

[@Dad-bv6hw]

I can’t believe its over. So many years every Thursday. Its been a hell of a ride. You guys have gotten me through so much. Thank you and I look forward to more Star Wars soon!

[@AlexisGates1]

You guys are my favorite reactors here on KZbin! I’ve seen you react to tons of movies, ATLA, LOK, and all the Star Wars series. Thought you guys would like to hear, my husband and I recently had a baby and we made her entire nursery Star Wars themed! We have a couple grogu things but mostly all original Star Wars characters. She has cartoon baby versions of Vader, Leah, Boba Fett, Chewy, Ewoks, R2D2, and C3P0. Thanks for being huge Star fans like him and I ❤️

[@anairsta6507]

Watching this again after seeing what happened in Ashoka is great now.

[@_RumbleRush_]

Crazy this journey has been, but now we are at the end. It’s been great watching this journey and listening to your discussions on it all whether it’s something simple or going a bit deeper into the heart of it all. May the force be with you all and till next time

[@andrewcundill3660]

“I see your defeat. Like many arms surrounding you in a cold embrace” You got that right, Bendu

[@inigoiraetau1903]

An incredible journey indeed. It's been a treat being able to react to an episode of Star Wars every week for almost 4 years with all of you guys. Clone Wars and Rebels will be missed, though a bright future lies ahead.

[@TheGreater-ScopeVillain]

Palpatine has shown in The Clone Wars to be fully capable of Force-choking and telekinetically ragdolling Force-users as powerful as Count Dooku even from across the galaxy on Coruscant, so he was fully capable of killing Ezra with ease under his own power here. My headcanon here is just that he was so angry and disdainful of Ezra for ruining his plans of universal domination *_TWICE_* now, that he felt that Ezra wasn't worthy of death by his hand, and thus left it to his Royal Guards instead.

[@aliciaaslund]

I’m so happy that they managed to time in the finale on my birthday

[@JMiller1303]

Happy birthday!

[@aliciaaslund]

@@JMiller1303 Thank you!

[@donaldwatson7698]

I've seen the ending many times, and I just now realized that Jason Syndulla has pale green ear tips. I'm now wondering if that will be canon for human-Twi'lek hybrids: ear tips in a pale shade of the Twi'lek parent's coloration.

[@Jaaol1]

Love how Pryce just looks sort of mildly annoyed as she blows up

[@theautotunecat6005]

Them: one last time with Star Wars: Rebels! Me remembering Ezra’s line when he goes to the Thrawn: one last time

[@Alice83ashla]

The temple can be open using the light side and the temple can be closed using the dark side. Ezra uses the light side and can use the dark side.

[@Cjohnson725]

The best, reason I have ever heard for why the Storm Troopers have such bad aim is that because the "good guys" are surrounded by the force and because storm trooper weapons are mostly energy weapons, the force bends the shots slightly so they always miss.

[@alexboyajian2096]

Ever since I've been subscribed there's been star wars content coming out weekly. Now there will be a break until Kenobi, and then Andor, and then Mando Season 3, and then Ahsoka. I don't know what I'm going to do during the breaks!

[@tpeack]

now we wait for the 2003 show reaction, tbh could do it as a movie given how short it is.

[@muhammadhabibieamiro3639]

The intro is like clone wars amazing and after this is first new Schedule and second resistance and i am one of rare fan who actually like resistance

[@JS-td8yp]

Even though I've seen Clone Wars and Rebels. I always look forward to these uploads. It's sad there's no more Star Wars content until Obi-Wan but I'm excited for it!

[@BenAri18]

Man this show was great and very over hated, glad you guys reacted to the whole thing
