My wife and I watch Star Wars Rebels for the first time || Episode 4-6

[@FutschiFu]

Kanan was the young padawan at the start of the first Bad Batch episode. You also saw him in Tales of the Jedi during Ahsokas training. This show takes place roughly 5 years after Kenobi and about 4 years before a new hope.

[@FreakDaMIghet]

There are no filler episodes of Rebels. Even the most insignificant looking episode ties into the plot and often contains details crucial to the rest of the season.

[@PeterFilmAUS]

This is every hard-core fan defending a show, filler is filler and they want people like you to see it as important lmao.

[@FreakDaMIghet]

@@PeterFilmAUS No. I admit that The Clone Wars had filler, and The Mandalorian had filler. But Rebels does not. Even if the episode feels like filler, it introduces a new character or concept that crops up later in the snow.

[@thebortthe]

I never understood this hatred for “filler”. Even if an episode doesn’t continue with a story arc of a big bad guy or a main plot thread, it’s the characters continuing on their journey. That’s the whole point of a show.

[@BichaeldeAngelo]

@@FreakDaMIghet I disagree, even every single map of the arcs in Rebels has a decent number of non-essentials. But that’s okay, I don’t think filler is such an outrageous thing and there’s certainly less filler in TV than there used to be

A fun fact about Chopper is he’s voiced by Dave Filoni, who records the lines by going into the booth, swearing like a sailor, and then having the editors change it so it’s almost unrecognizable in post

You'll learn more about Kanan in the next little bit. All will be revealed in due course. Rebels is a bit silly at times in the first season, but it does get progressively darker as the show goes on. The silliness never really goes away, but it's reduced quite a bit.

I just came back from a taking a break from your channel… upon coming back I remember why you guys are the channel that got me in to reactions. So passionate. So fun. Thank you for all you do

[@breez1065]

If you go back and watch the last few episodes of clone wars. And even tales of the Jedi. You can see Padawan Kanan and his master in important scenes. He also has a comic series that takes place after order 66 that shows his struggle being the last surviving Jedi. (or at least one of them because they keep adding more and more Jedi who survived)

[@breez1065]

And the first episode of bad batch I forgot

[@nikulus2840]

They aren't necessarily "adding" more Jedi who survived Order 66. We have always known that around 100 Jedi survived, but we didn't know the names of those 100 Jedi. So whenever we see a new Jedi surviving, we have just "identified" one of those 100 Jedi. He was always one of the 100 Jedi, but we didn't know that yet.

[@Maikigai]

@@nikulus2840 I thought the count was over 200 o.o

[@patrickcromwell7554]

Ezra was also being pulled down by gravity Holden. Not to mention whilst in a moving ship. Pulling two unconscious Stormtroopers along the ground is significantly different. It's like when people argue "if Superman is so strong why doesn't he just stop the plane from falling right there?". Just because he's strong it doesn't mean what he's holding is. If Zeb had just yanked Ezra at full strength, Ezra would have broken bones.

[@chrismanuel6659]

The grand inquisitor was a temple guard. He was a full Jedi before he turned

So glad you guys like the first three episodes it only gets better from here

[@jason42080]

Holden and Jen now remember that there's going to be Drama/Hardship episodes amongst the team and Ezra learning insight of each of the Ghost Crews backstory and them learning Ezra's Backstory all working to showing the building of a whole team and a family as another way to look at it...but there will be plenty of episodes where it will be full of Amazing Action and showing Connection towards Important folks of prequal timeline Movies and Series and connection of Important Folks set 5-6 years before A New Hope Timeline...so sit back and enjoy watching an amazing showing of a hidden puzzle piece of the Star Wars Story/Lore

[@Darth_Mornabin]

10:02 Holden: The prison on Stygeon Prime is actually the same one Palpatine kept Maul as a prisoner during the comic „Son of Dathomir“.

[@Darth_Mornabin]

12:24 Most of the inquisitors are former jedi. (Not only padawans, even some masters were under them.) Maybe there were some babys kidnapped by the empire and trained in the dark side from the get go.

[@Rorujin]

Btw you have already seen Kanan Jarrus. Quite recently actually... Right at the beginning of the last arc of Clone Wars.

[@jordanwood4687]

During Order 66, Canan was a Jedi padawan. He had been for some time so he did have some real experience but he also had a long way to go before being ready for the Jedi trials. So he was at the time, a capable warrior, but could not contend with late stage padawans like Asoka

[@jmhaces]

Yeah, this is roughly 5 years before Ep IV and Kanan is probably in his late 20's, so that means he was a kid when Order 66 happened.

[@Zach_TheGamer]

The biggest difference is that Rebels has a much more linear, continuous story, while Clone Wars was mostly a bunch of sparse, separate battles that eventually lead into something bigger.

Kanan was 14 when 66 happened. This is 14 years later (almost 15).

[@LivinMyJeffLife]

The character "Jay" is voiced by Dante Basco. A.k.a Zuko😁

[@seniorordenanza2387]

So about Kanan you both are 100% correct, he was a padawan when order 66 went down. Actually if you watched the Bad Batch during the order 66 sequence they show him as a padawan and he watched his master get killed while he’s running away on her orders. I’m pretty sure it was the bad batch.

[@marshsundeen]

I cannot remember if you have seen Tales of the Jedi. If so, Padawan Canan is in the episode with Ahsoka's test.

[@That_Service_Dog]

Just found your channel and your journey and I'm glad to follow along with you. Kanan was 14 when Order 66 occurred, so still just a padawan. And while he doesn't have the most power (wouldn't it be boring if all characters are super powerful?) by the end of the series, he is shown as the most balanced Jedi we've seen. You'll love his journey. I'm also glad that you have enjoyed the show so far since this series gets a lot of crap from a lot of fans. Mainly, because Clone Wars was cancelled before this one came out. So fans were mad about the loss of the other series. As for the timeline, this takes place about four years before A New Hope. Ezra is DAYS older than Luke and Leia. So you can keep track of their age through him. This series ends just days to weeks before Rogue One. Also, the Grand Inquisitor was actually a full Jedi, instead of Padawan. Won't say too much so it doesn't ruin the surprise later on, but, that is why he is such a greater threat than some other villains.

[@cookiesnugglez7318]

Trust me by the end of the series you're gonna love these characters, even the grand inquisitor who is portrayed masterfully in this show, this is why people are so disappointed with his appearance in obiwan, he's a much better character in this show One last thing, chopper actually shows up in rogue one in the background

[@patrickcromwell7554]

When you actually think about it, the "There is no try" quite makes perfect sense. I had a friend once that I performed with in a musical. His acting was worthy of "Best of bad acting". We told him repeatedly to "just say his lines" and stop TRYING to "perform" them. Even when we stopped rehearsing and said "repeat after me". He'd say the words perfectly, but then as soon as we started rehearsing again his tone and deaner would get extremely cringy again. He had no concept of HOW to act. He'd keep saying "I'm trying". And that was the problem. He was TRYING to act and not actually acting. It means that you either succeed or you don't. There's no in between.

[@Actorclown]

Episode 4 was a concise ,& yes silly, episode dealing with Ezra & Zeb’s relationship. Not “filler” IMO. At this point in the show the only direction it has is the rebels are trying to survive & stick it to the empire when they can. I would say mission accomplished that episode plus character development.

We do get to know a bit more about Kanan's backstory... and it's not a huge spoiler to say that he was a young padawan at the time of Order 66 and he's let his force abilities atrophy while hiding his identity from the Empire. He's not so much weak as he is rusty.
