[@ExUSSailor]

Best episode of the season so far. Everybody is so focused on the Zeb cameo, that hardly anyone notices Deborah Chow, Dave Filoni, and, Rick Famuyiwa sitting at the bar. I also love how the New Republic HQ office droid is just a total a-hole!

[@guts311]

Oh crap didn't even notice them at the bar and no one else's videos has mentioned it yet haha.

[@szabojanos97]

​@@guts311 Blindwave mentioned Dave

[@jed1mstr]

Yup, Zeb's name is in the end credits. It's definitely him. With everyone else showing up in Ahsoka, I bet Zeb's going to be a regular on that show. Now we need Kallus to show up in live action next.

[@DedricSilva]

This is why i'm glad Ahsoka is the true sequel to Rebels.

[@theaces3697]

i dont know if you have seen the leaked ahsoka trailer SPOILERS but its got zeb, ezra, hera and sabine

[@biocapsule7311]

Have they watched Rebels?

[@biocapsule7311]

@@jed1mstr I see. Thanks.

[@bransolo11]

@@theaces3697*me reads spoiler, continues to read it* “DAMMIT SPOILER!!”

[@Eclypse_77]

I'm hoping we get a cameo for each member of the ghost crew in this season. Then we see all of them in the Ahsoka series

[@pikapie7227]

I’d imagine that Bo-Katan will go find more Mandalorians and she may go find Sabine. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see Hera with the New Republic Rangers too.

[@kingofthemooners09]

I know we’re getting Sabine and Chopper in Ahsoka. I wouldn’t be surprised if they show up in this season.

[@littlesparrow303]

@@kingofthemooners09ohh can’t wait to see Sabine & Ahsoka working together again. Sabine was always my favorite in Rebels. Even though that series played safe in the beginning I’m glad it picked up in S2

[@sapphirehazel2]

Not Ezra though :(

[@shogunn2517]

I appreciate this perspective. Persons going from not catching minor cameos to now seeing these cameos and appreciating them as much as us diehards do. It's endearing.

[@acdragonrider]

This is the way

[@cd5sircoupe]

I hope they eventually release the Rebels reactions for us regular viewers. I'm just glad they're finally in the loop with everything, Rebels is shaping up to be essential viewing for future content... to be honest it's been essential viewing for a lot of stuff in Mando.

[@JacobLunbeck]

I had the biggest smile on my face when Zeb showed up!

[@lucasgarcia5172]

Soo happy that you guys can be like "he is the guy from the other thing", as Ryan George would say, when Zeb appeared😂

[@jalenguevara2367]

The "you won’t get away this time, you’ll get away this time" was a hilarious edit

[@Darth_Mornabin]

14:42 Jen probably called it. The most plausible theory: Mandalorian sympathizers of the empire in form of clan Saxon probably saved Moff Gideon.

[@josebeteta8283]

Thanks for saying the clan name; all the ones I could think of (that would ally with the Empire) would either be Death Watch or Maul's old faction (don't remember if they're the same)

[@Darth_Mornabin]

@@josebeteta8283 Death Watch got split into Mauls fraction (Which later highly likely became the Children of the Watch who raised Din Djarin.) and the other ones who followed Bo-Katan. But besides these groups, there are still other mandalorian clans we saw gathered at the beginning of Rebels season 4. Best Regards

[@acdragonrider]

@@Darth_Mornabin I want clans ordo , Vau and Skirata to be canonized at last

[@moistravioligod8215]

I thought Saxon ended up working eight the rebels during rebels or am I thinking of a different person

[@BichaeldeAngelo]

I liked this episode a lot more than most of the season so far, felt like a live action clone wars episode

[@Saimeren]

Bo is so cool. I'm so glad they're using her as much as they are. I'm 100% ok with them splitting the story between Din and Bo.

[@disconnexionsdotcom]

Favorite episode of the season. Hands down. I love how everyone is excited for Zeb, but I was excited for Tim Meadows!

[@madisonwhovian943]

Fun fact- the actor playing Carson Teva will be Uncle Iroh in the upcoming Netflix live-action adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender! Great casting choice.

[@mh2120]

Loved him in Kim's Convenience. He shows off his humor & warmth there, and his capable badass side here. He'll make an incredible Iroh.

[@madisonwhovian943]

@@mh2120 He was so amazing in that show. Only the best for the Dragon of the West!

[@viper596]

Pretty sure Gar Saxon had a bunch of Mandalorians that worked with the Empire in the animated series, so maybe we will see those again

[@moistravioligod8215]

Didn’t they end up going with ghost crew in rebels?

[@stern12akachris32]

The Into the Spider Verse Director took the helm of this and you could tell based on the visuals alone . I am loving this season and like the animation shows they are slowly fixing the sequels !!!!

[@Keanine]

They're definitely trying and I really appreciate that. I can't see myself accepting 8 and 9, but time will tell!

[@TheRamirezification]

Kudos to the edit on the scene where Vane says you won't get away this time, then switches it up. Totally took me by surprise and made me laugh

[@wiseoldman53]

I was anxiously awaiting your reactions, especially to Zeb's appearance! Great reaction!

[@DragoonxVII]

Each episode just keeps getting better! Can't wait to see how it all plays out.

[@CeriusDeluge]

I think the biggest clue that the Mando's will remove their helmets is found in the credits. The first 2 seasons Pas Visla was credited as played by Favreau as he is voicing the character but in this season it's the actor in the suit that is being credited for the roll. Why? Because we are probably going to see their face.

[@PrimeAddonexus]

Absolutely loved seeing a live action Zeb! Looked really great!

[@Savion102797]

Yes that is Zeb! The credits confirm it!

[@ToastedShoes]

It was Zeb! Us rebels fans are eating good!

[@ragingcomedy1835]

Was a really good tone throughout. Especially that last scene

[@christopherhamlet734]

Congratulations on the Baby ✨❣️💫💛

[@Black0raz0r]

Davew Filoni has also a cameo in this episode. In the scene where we see Zeb, wie also see Filoni with his Cowboy hat

[@ven_skywalker7007]

I like that the Armorer isn't hasty. She took what Bo told her about the Mythosaur and took a whole week to process it lul

[@agresticumbra]

I tend to think the beskar in the shuttle was planted, or purposely left behind, to get the new republic sniffing in the wrong direction. Moff Gideon was hoarding Beskar after glazing Mandalor, ie. the Great Purge. If you recall, Din was paid in beskar ingots by The Client (portrayed by Werner Herzog) who was a former Imperial officer, and subordinate to Gideon. Gideon also had a beskar spear, which Din eventually gave to the Armorer to repurpose.

[@Teraplexor1]

7:51 you should share a picture of that grass so we can see the comparison

[@moistravioligod8215]

I loved the “see ya next fall” line from Holden there. Throwback to the mighty morphing power rangers movie 😂😂😂

[@HoldenHardman]

A man of culture I see

[@A2Blizzard]

Holden my theory is that Sabian Ren was the mandolorian that freed Moff Gideon so she could use him as a way too find Grand Admiral Thrawn and Ezra as hinted by asoka in Last Season that would also explain Zebs little cameo.

[@michaelgreenwood3413]

Wren*

[@MarvinMartinez2001]

Rebels is so important going forward and it’s very exciting!!!

[@SlasherGeist]

Everytime I see Bo Katan in Mandalorian, I feel like Samus in a live action Metroid movie would be just as badass.

[@josebeteta8283]

14:09 😮Definitely an interesting conclusion, but I'm not entirely certain someone didn't frame the Mandalorians. Mainly on the fact that a Mandalorian left a slab of beskar, instead of taking it so it could be turned into armor (if we go by covert rules we've seen). They value it too much to leave it behind. Of course, it could've always been an accident

[@jaysonphillips6899]

Dave Filoni was sitting at the bar drinking in his hat too!

[@Laochri]

Carga's Droid is Ralph McQuarrie C3-P0 original design. Also Zeb is his original design for Chewbacca. I'm in hopes that the Beskar Shard is from a Darktrooper. Yes that is Garazeb Orreluos. Credit goes to Steve Blum as Zeb. Also Lasats are pretty much extinct, Zeb being the only one left in this region of the Galaxy. Without knowing where y'all are at in the totally of Rebels, so I won't go into it further on the lore.

[@jasonspaulding3949]

Always love seeing the armorer kick butt

[@THEGREYGH0ST]

1:43 protocol droid was a droid whose job was to aid sentients with their etiquette and relations with each other in the galaxy. They often dealt with event planning, etiquette, translation, and problem solving. Typically 1.67 meters tall and 75 kg in weight, protocol droids came in many shapes and sizes, although most were humanoid in form. They were equipped with a AA-1 VerboBrain.

[@bigdawg702]

@8:45 great edit peeps!

[@Teraplexor1]

Zebs appearance was unexpected

[@jason42080]

i have a Feeling That Moff Gideon and Thrawn Built (From Stolen Baskar after the Purge of Mandalore) a Baskar Trooper Droid or a type of weapon that Fires a Baskar projectile since the Baskar would slice through a ships shield and Metal like butter...plus it would Frame Mandalorian's and cause them to be really out numbered

[@soflyedits322]

LOL @3:05 holden saying 'is that our guy??' and jen being excited about zeb is sooo great! you guys made it to the part where the live action shows are soo much fun because you did the homework of watching the animated series. good job! i'm kind of hoping we see hera soon!

[@alexhidalgo7110]

What a great reaction. Absolutely awesome.

[@RansomGetty]

"I'm not leaving my city!" Cut to next shot of him, having left the city with like 20 of the citizens...

[@ThePharaz]

The alien firing the big gun from the building reminds me of a Gorn from Star Trek. The pirate ship makes me think Klingon variant ship.

[@animatorFan74]

Yeh I loved the tie-in with the Imperial lady in this one (I also can't remember her name :P) - I love how stories cross each other in these episodes. Really love it. :) You'll see a little bit of that in Andor too when you're making progress there. :)

[@joshritz7067]

They're proving Malcolm Reynolds right. "That sounds like the Alliance - unite all the planets under one rule, so that everyone can be interfered with or ignored equally."

[@Plethiros]

the actor for the armourer sounds so much like galadriel. she would fit perfectly in an animated version of the lord of the rings

[@mexi72]

There is a Bo-Katan series in the works. In this episode you can them setting that up.

[@littlesparrow303]

Yep felt like that

[@kellingc]

It was Zeb, listed in the credits, with Stene Blum voicing him.

[@Guaseth]

Yup, that was Zeb Orelios, second member of the ghost crew to show up in live action (first one was Chopper in Rogue One) and he looks awesome!

[@HellBrYnger]

i might catch flak for this, but paz vizsla great entrance has the EXACT energy of Robocop 3, when Lois and the other 2 officers were in danger, robo drove ontop of a parking building, ramped down, landed, (cuz the robo-cruiser has way stronger suspensions) and just stood up, which ment he was looking out of the roof his car, blasting punks with his attached weapon arm.

[@nintenmetro]

This episode is probably my favorite of the season so far. My second favorite would have to be last week’s episode. I’ll admit I was weirded out that the Armorer made an exception for Bo-Katan to remove her helmet, but at least now she can fulfill her calling and regroup the exiled Mandalorians to reclaim their homeland. What I really loved about this episode is that Paz gained a new level of respect for Din. Paz caught me off-guard for a moment, but then he reminded me Din and Bo saved his son Ragnar.

[@SJPlayGames]

This is awesome my friend 😊

The fact that you got out-star wars'd by your wife is great. She knows the way.

[@PracticallyGeek]

Great chapter and next episode is directed by Dallas Bryce Howard so we are in for another great one I think! Hearing it's 45 mins runtime.

[@littlemeljoes]

I’m hoping we meets Sabine this season since it seems they are going to look for more of them

[@Journeyman.71]

As I'm sure you know by now, that was, of course, indeed, Zeb! I just hope it wasn't just a throw away cameo, but, rather, he becomes a impactful character in this show, and others, going forward! My other thought is, and has been, when Mando first ventured down into the Mines of Mandalore, he stumbled upon countless pieces of armor from fallen Mandalorian warriors. Assuming it to be quality Beskar armor, the covert should have sent a team to harvest/salvage as much Beskar-containing materials as possible! And, for that matter, who know what else they could have salvaged from the ruins, now that they know it's more or less safe to go there. Or, I guess, maybe that's what they should be doing now, now that that they have a home and a stated goal of retaking Mandalore!

[@noahseeber8715]

I for one would be hyped if you´d upload rebels reactions as well

[@LivinMyJeffLife]

I love watching the Show once & watching it again "with y'all"😅 Ever notice the Armorer has little *Darth Maul* spikes on her helmet?🤔

[@freebird6591]

Ornamentations like that were common among the old Mando Armorer guild.

[@LivinMyJeffLife]

They're also common among the Mandalorians that served Darth Maul. In fact, this may be Rook Kast or one other person. Forgot that name though

[@Quinten_Shibusawa]

That was Zeb!

[@HellBrYnger]

there'll only be one true "pirate king", and he sure damn doesn't look like someone poured green jello over a christmas tree.

[@ChuckS117]

Din is a way better pilot than being a foot soldier. Loved the dogfight!

[@StewPidasoe]

Sabine Wren could be the one that captured Moff Gideon trying to find Ezra she wears Mando armor

[@wakebacon8301]

The Man, The Myth, The Legend "Garazeb Orrelios" himself. Live Action Zeb is something I didn't know I needed in my life LOL.

[@wkhargrove]

Not all Walmarts in Texas are like that Holden 😭

[@georgieboy7]

Seriously, y'all need to watch Kim's Convenience, such a funny show. Paul, Capt Teva, and Simu, Shang Chi, are both in it. I love this show and get excited when I see them.

[@RowdyBrian17]

The pirate leader looks like a Chia pet

[@TheInfectedLion]

Loved the dogfight in this episode. Can't wait for Ahsoka. Old Kurosawa movies inspired Star Wars show? Yes please

[@PedranZ]

I have this feeling that sabine is there with the mandalorians somewhere and it will be revealed in the last episode or something like that...

[@wendelfears1027]

The Android.. You're looking for is, " protocol Droid". Same as C-3PO

[@brisky__]

5:25 ain’t that the hard truth LMAO

[@wendelfears1027]

No one saying a thing about Grogu getting a front row seat on how to be a good star fighter. Give him a buster seat and i bet he could pilot the next attack.

[@slowbro173]

Welcome to my nightmare

[@acghost7083]

Honestly I can't wait for bad batch series you guys would love man

[@MIB000DG]

My Fan Theory is that Gar Saxon's Mandalorian Shadow Collective that served Darth Maul and joined the Empire will become the Knights of Ren. They will also be the jerks that extracted Moff Gideon.

[@latino7604]

After this episode, it just confirms that the one chick with the short boy hair is a villain. She working for Gideon as a spy or something

[@armandobatres208]

I’m guessing that you haven’t heard that the show is pivoting from focusing on Din Djarin to more focus on Bo-Katan. Pedro Pascal has become such a hot actor he is moving on. Bo-Katan will now be the main character in The Mandalorian.

[@mikejenson757]

I heard that the Dark Troopers were made from Beskar.

[@oxhine]

Hey, Holden and Jen! An action-packed episode filled with guest stars! The heap of seaweed, GORIAN SHARD, returns again played by burly NONSO ANOZIE to pound Nevarro into submission with his first mate, the Nikto VANE named after real-life CHARLES VANE, Blackbeard's protege! GREEF KARGA sends a call for aid and evacuates the town to the lava flats! ADELPHI BASE! A Ranger canteen occupied by: -- a Snivvian bartender played by MISTY ROSAS who previously was Kuill and the Frog Lady! She also portrayed the Ugnaught coxswain on the bridge of Shard's ship! -- PAUL SUN-HYUNG LEE again playing Ranger CARSON TEVA -- director DEBORAH CHOW reprising her Ranger cameo and now named SASH KETTER -- director RICK FAMUYIWA reprising his Ranger cameo and now named JIB DODGER -- a silhouetted DAVE FILONI with his trademark slouch hat reprising his Ranger cameo as TRAPPER WOLF -- a live-action ZEB ORRELIOS, the Lasat member of the Spectres from "Rebels", voiced once more by STEVE BLUM! Teva goes to CORUSCANT but his plea for aid and warnings of danger go unheeded by COL. TUTTLE played by SNL alum TIM MEADOWS! KATY O'BRIAN returns as ELIA KANE to bolster Tuttle's apathy and downplay Teva as an alarmist. She's definitely Gideon's agent on the inside! R5, the faulty astromech, served with Teva during the Rebellion! DIN makes his pitch, PAZ VIZSLA backs him up and BO-KATAN devises an attack plan! The KOWAKIAN MONKEY-LIZARDS have thrived with Nevarro but the pirates start taking pot shots at them to nab one for the spit as in Season 1! All-out attack! The Mandalorians drop in like Seal Team Six! The ANZELLANS get front-row seats to the action! The ARMORER is a one-woman army! VIZSLA's heavy gun cuts through corsairs like a scythe! DIN's N-1 makes mincemeat of the snub fighters! BO takes down SHARD! KARGA and the townsfolk round up the survivors but VANE escapes! KARGA gratefully cedes the tract he offered Din to the Mandalorians welcoming them to Nevarro as settlers and independent defenders. Inspired by the vision of the MYTHOSAUR confided to her, the Armorer tasks BO-KATAN with uniting the tribes in hopes of reclaiming MANDALORE by accepting her with her HELMET REMOVED before everyone! TEVA finds a derelict Lambda shuttle and slain crew on patrol learning it was GIDEON's transport and finding some BESKAR amid the wreckage! GIDEON is confirmed at large and the beskar indicates one of three possibilities: -- it was planted to frame the Mandalorians -- a Mandalorian sect is loyal to the Empire like GAR SAXON's group -- a group of Mandalorians felt Republic justice was insufficient and abducted the Moff to pay for his crimes against Mandalore The episode was directed by Peter Ramsey and written by Jon Favreau.

I'm leaning more towards Gideon being saved by his Dark Troopers. Their armor was made of a beskar alloy strong enough to withstand blaster fire but not pure beskar weapons or lightsabers.

[@dungeonmaster16]

Random but kinda true. (Insert no to yes meme) No to animated Scott pilgrim animated reaction if ppl ask holden. But yes to heading 13 year old live action film of Scott pilgrim. Context: after 13 years and fans asking they finally making an animated series adapting the full comic on Netflix. Yes the directors of the film is involved abs yes the actors playing as characters in film will do the voices of their characters.
