Star Wars: Rebels | 3x1/3x2 Reaction | Steps Into Shadow Part 1 and 2

[@gazzamanazza4pm]

And now you get to meet one of my favourite villains in all of Star Wars, (alongside Maul) - Thrawn. Both are such fascinating characters to me, while still dripping with malice and sinister vibes. Also, the Bendu is voiced by the wonderful Tom Baker, well known for playing the Fourth Incarnation of The Doctor in legendary British sci-fi TV show Doctor Who. I love that he brings his distinctive voice/delivery to this Star Wars character too!

[@timidwolf]

I see you have "The Doctor" listed under past roles so you'll be playing an ancient being who will instruct Jedi.

[@gazzamanazza4pm]

@@timidwolf True enough, first David Tennant's Huyang and now the Bendu. I wonder what roles would suit other past Doctors.

[@timidwolf]

@@gazzamanazza4pm who knows, but would be fun if they did have more. Although many have spotted a similarity in personality between Yoda and William Hartnell's first incarnation.

If Rebels season three was the last act of Maul Maybe the Mandalorian Is the Last act of Thrawn. But i Hope that you will learn about Maul and Thrawn that what happened in Bad Batch After Ezra Born in Revenge of the sith. If Rey kills Palpatine, It means that Ezra, Ahsoka and Grogu remind Ben that he killed Thrawn When he was four in the Mandalorian. If Palpatine and Thrawn are the enemies of Ezra and Anakin, so Maul Is the Nemesis of Obi-Wan from Phantom Menace to Rebels season three. If they will made Darth Vader miniseries using Maul as the main antagonist It means that Anakin and Ahsoka are actually fought against Maul since Phantom Menace, clone Wars season 7 and Bad Batch as master and Apprentice unlike Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon. But Ezra was fine without Anakin and Ahsoka since that what happened on Malachor, he made a Justice alone against Maul and Thrawn only at Age 17 but Seven years before Ben born that he brings the name of Ben Kenobi that he was connected with the Mandalorians people including Bo-Katan and Boba Fett and 36 years before the force awakens.

Thrawn, one of my favourite SW characters. If you are interested there is a well voice acted Thrawn Comic that dives deeper into his character and how he rose up through the ranks in the Empire.

[@timidwolf]

General Dodonna, whom they're giving the Y-Wings to, is the leader of the rebel group based on Yavin 4 in 'A New Hope', so these ships get used in the attack on the first Death Star. Grand Admiral Thrawn is a fan favourite introduced in his own book trilogy over thirty years ago.

[@staffan-]

I assume people have already told you by now, how exciting it was for long time Star Wars fans to see grand admiral Thrawn in Rebels. He was introduced in the 1990s in the so called Thrawn triology (now a part of the Expanded Universe) even before the prequel triology was made, and has for a long time been one of the most iconic imperials in all of Star Wars. It will be great to see you get to know more about Thrawn!

[@craigmorris4083]

You have no idea just how happy hearing Bendu's voice made me. It's the trusting voice of, say, a Doctor. :)

[@richietribe9487]

When Ezra controlled the walker you asked if you had seen that before. And the answer is yes. Dooku did. When he took control over Padme's body to kill a seperatist senator in the Clovis arc

[@jacktheflash8478]

Didn’t he just move her arms?

[@richietribe9487]

@@jacktheflash8478 Nope. He used the force to control her entire body. Only her mind didn't want to

[@evangalinsky2499]

Chopper didn't want to get into the Y-wing because that's what he was shot down in. That's why he was protesting and Zeb had to shove him in

[@AnxMa]

Hi, I'm a MoCap performer and gotta say they've created seriously stylish art style and movement choreography for this. I also wanted to share a painful story of mine about the new Resident Evil Remakes. In late 2015 I was in contact with Capcom about the facial likeness role of Leon for the RE 2 Remake. I failed to mention I also have a voice acting background, in the end I lost the part... Now, many years later, when I see how successful those remakes are I can't forgive myself for wasting such a chance. In this business one audition can change your entire life.

[@doctor8342]

Back in the day in the old books the first three books written in the Star Wars universe was the Thrawn Trilogy (I'm not counting splinter of the minds eye), Thrawn became the leader of the Empire after Palpatine and Vader were killed, he was the highest ranking Imperial left, Thrawn is probably after Palpatine Dooku Vader and Tarkin the biggest villain in all of Star Wars and he is very beloved by the old school fans.

[@Gabriel_Cook]

There were also a Han Solo book trilogy & a Lando Calrissian book trilogy from around the time of Splinter of the Mind's Eye.

[@arielwilson9293]

Thrawn, as I'm sure the other comments have informed you, is a very interesting character, and an exceptionally dangerous enemy. He is not a force user, but nonetheless has a nearly supernatural talent for predicting what his opponent will do with an absolutely ludicrous degree of accuracy. How does he do it? You will see soon enough…. Unlike many Imperial officers, he leads with respect, not fear. And he's actually good at his job.

[@fakecubed]

Ezra sure seems to be killing a lot more people now, instead of stunning them with his stunner.

[@js3599]

I always loved how, in the last episode, while watching Vader and Ahsoka duel it out, he said "I need a lot more practice"... He seemed to have taken that lesson to heart... The only way to access a holocron is to use the force... Light force holocrons require light side force, while dark holocrons can only be accessed by dark force wielders... Which means Ezra is using the dark side of the force... More will be explained later on...

[@Mourtzouphlos240]

Ezra is lusting after power...

Suffering has made Ezra mature a lot...Great reaction!

[@JCG52577]

Ezra’s hair was something I alluded to in a Bad Batch reaction about Omega wearing a helmet to save time with animating her hair. I think Ezra’s new do was also for this purpose.

[@davidbergfors6820]

Risen from the Legends are one of the most Intimidating persons throughout the Star Wars lore, Mitth'raw'nuruodo. to be an alien in a prodominently Human Empire should speak volumes.

[@balintkovacs4089]

"There is no way to use the Dark Side for good" -- Darth Vitiate is inclined to disagree. Just as there were many cases of Jedi using the Light Side only yet being utterly evil, such as Jorus C'Baoth and Pong Krell.

[@aidandonnelly98]

justy so u know emmie grand admiral thrawn is basically the big bad of rebels from here on now hes a tactical genius found by the empire and hes to my knowledge the the one who has climbed up the empires ranks the fastest he was found by the empire after being exiled by his people and after learning to speak english began to swiftly jump up rank after rank after rank in the empire. trust me ur gonna have a good time with him.

[@LadiesmanB007]

Strongly recommend watching the final set of episodes (either from rebel assault or Jedi night on) of season 4 straight through in one watch. You can upload them separately but it really is the best way to watch the end of the show.

[@Mourtzouphlos240]

And bring a big box of tissues.

Thrawn zis such a great villain, tied with Vader for best villain in Star Wars.

Fear nothing fear nothing at all but fear Grand Admiral Thrawn

[@ven_skywalker7007]

Kanans journey is one of my favorite character arcs and makes him one of, if not, my favorite jedi. he knows how to deal with his attachments to his friends in a healthy way and learned to cope with what he lost and realize what he still had after the incident on Malachor.

[@ronnellroyall9024]

One thing to understand about Ezra. All though I don’t know his exact midi-chlorian count, he has high force potential and it shows throughout the show

[@Hydelsius]

You're going to love Thrawn...

[@slycooper334]

I didn't see this in the comments but I also didn't hunt for it. The Canon lore is kinda weird but from what I understand, Vader is a separate entity from Anakin but in the fight between Vader and Ashoka, Anakin's force ghost did fear for Ashoka's life and even hoped she would win or escape. However its kinda interesting because Vader dies offer Ashoka a place by his side which kinda makes me think that Vader/Anakin are the same person but because of everything twisted inside their head, Vader truly thinks he is a separate entity. However, the force does have a sort of magical spiritual component so it gets messy. I don't know if there is a clear clarification but regardless I found that fight to be incredibly interesting because I do love Anakin's story and Ashoka as a character. Ezra's tightrope walk between the light and dark feels great because Ashoka does kind of walk that same line as a Grey Jedi however she is much more assured in her experience and path. For her its alot less of a tightrope and more of a rode. She understands the darkness that can hold people's hearts, she's seen Anakin's fall and kind of understands and sympathizes. Honestly, I think spiritually, Ashoka is Ezra's true Master. They share a first master in Plo Koon and Kanan. They have both lost a master, Anakin and Kanan. Ezra has tape into his feelings and the dark side while Ashoka learned of Vader's birth and understa ds how Anakin could fall. I want Ezra to become a sith it at least Dark Jedi but have Ashoka help him. Altho idk. I also liked where the story went, no spoilers. Er mild spoilers.

[@extraleague01]

you really gotta focus on Grand Admiral Thrawn who's a very popular and important character in the Star Wars universe.

[@ABronzeSoul]

I think you can use the dark side of the force to do good but the temptation to do bad or focus your own self interest are very difficult to ignore. Some of the strongest characters in Star Wars are people who use both sides of the force at least in legends. Revan, Anakin, Luke, The Father, Bendu, Mace, Starkiller, In the SWTOR video game you character the commander can uses both sides of the force to help build a weapon to defeat enemies that also use both sides of the force. In that game there is also a Sith Lord named Lana Beniko she uses the dark side and is very much a Sith BUT even if you are a Jedi character she is a loyal ally and even a romantic partner if you so chose so. I think it comes down to motive and goals as well as the person themselves in the end both the Jedi and Sith philosophies are very flawed and they will be forever stuck in the same loop of destroying each other like they have been for the past 4,000+ years

[@Mourtzouphlos240]

Legends=Fanfiction George Lucas never cared about it. He is a filmmaker. He wasn't going to Line Edit everything. Here is how The Force and The Dark Side work: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZqsnqKFaraemaM No mortal can handle using The Dark Side of The Force for any length of time. It is inherently corrosive. It is grounded in Murderous Selfishness. You cannot be Murderously Selfish "now and then." The last guy who tired was Anakin Skywalker. "Most Jedi have felt the temptation of the dark side. It is only natural. But we resist it. It is a deliberate path to the dark, not a series of bad days. Being a Jedi is about choosing the light over and over again." ―Sskeer As for The Father and Bedu, they say they can use both, they physically do not. They are also not actually "good". Bendu is apathetic, convinced that neutrality in the face of evil is a virtue which it is not in Star Wars (there were several Arcs in TCW directly contradicting this idea). The Father imprisoned an innocent woman and tried to shirk his duties off to Anakin. He also threatened to kill both Obi-Wan and Ahsoka.
