I love how Ezra's initial meeting with Maul is like a dark and twisted mirror version of Luke's first meeting with Yoda in Empire Strikes Back (thinking they're just a crazy hermit but then the hermit lets on how powerful they really are).

[@MFSeaMen]

“Away with your weapons I mean you no harm, I am wondering… why are you here”

[@greenfalcon11]

Interesting! Great observation.

[@Jaketherobonrd]

Well this is it, The showdown we all been waiting for. Honestly This is my favourite episode of Rebels.

[@thebeaverqueen2096]

We waited sooo long for this. Yeah once again I am also a puddle.

[@Pinkielover]

My favorite episode is in season four concludes things

[@Joshua-xh6bm]

It's definitely up there, although there are some real standouts in season 3 and 4 as well that are contenders for top spots.

[@jasoncaldwell5627]

One of the very best moments of SW content!

[@HaroldDominguezhn]

This is my second favorite. I won't mention which episode is my favorite but you might be able to infer which one is

[@Mis7erSeven]

There was a nice comment about the similarity between the final fight here and the one from the Kenobi show: "Obi-Wan broke one half of Vaders mask, Ahsoka broke the other. But he needed Luke to fully reveal his face."

[@Wickedfan219]

Yes! That’s why I love both of those duels so much!

[@madelinegarber7860]

Yes! I love that.

[@lucasdolding6924]

You did sort of get Ventress here, Nika Futterman (who voiced Ventress) voices that voice in the temple, but if you want to know what happens with her after The Clone Wars then read Dark Disciple. Other trivia people will probably point out: the conversation Rex and Ahsoka have in the beginning mirrors their conversation when they first met about experience outranking everything; Kanan said to Hera last episode not to worry, he'll see her again, yet despite his survival he doesn't technically 'see' her again now that he's blinded; when this aired we'd never seen Ahsoka and Maul interact yet we knew the basics of The Siege of Mandalore and that they met there so it's great how it works even better now that people like you can follow that story properly; Obi-Wan's fight with Vader in the Kenobi series obviously uses the mask thing again, there they used the other half of his mask and it's nice to see them both confront him in similar ways and come to terms with their relationship with him and don't blame themselves for his turn.

[@EmanueleCorsi]

You know I'm not sure Dark Disciple is still canon any more... And I don't know how to feel about that, I never fully accepted what happens to her character there.

[@lucasdolding6924]

@@EmanueleCorsi I don’t see why it wouldn’t be but I’d be okay with her character being continued in some animated project post-TCW.

[@joshg5657]

@@EmanueleCorsi Agreed; thought it was pretty poor; especially with the character we know. Hopefully not future canon.

[@jasoncaldwell5627]

This first fight destroyed the Ralph Macquarie helmet design- leading to the classic OT mask Vader fights Obi Wan in.

[@christianwise637]

The confrontation between Ahsoka and Vader was so strong, especially once he gets partially unmasked. The way James Earl Jones and Matt Lanter's voices are blended together was so haunting, it really gives the feeling of that internal push-and-pull between Anakin and Vader

[@347Jimmy]

The double voice sound was done much better in Rebels than in Obi-Wan Haunting stuff for sure

[@darthdracul8372]

@@347Jimmy you forget, this was part of the reason. Kenobi also got that as well and honestly they are both great so enough of the competition crap

[@andrewshaughnessy5828]

There's a great piece of animation, too. When Ahsoka says "I won't leave you. Not this time", Anakin hesitates. He has a puzzled frown, as if thinking "Does she mean it? Is there still a chance for me?" Then the frown turns into a scowl, as Vader takes control again.

[@TheArrowedKnee]

@@darthdracul8372 Honestly i didn't mind seeing it essentially repeated again, since it ended up being pretty much the best scene in Kenobi, but i did think it was a bit lazy to just copy one of the best scenes in Rebels

[@darrenrichardson6146]

Your not the only one Jess who thought "Wait, is that Maul, nah, it can't be, can it? Ah OK yep, that's Maul alright LOL" Knowing you've seen the Mandalorian takes a bit of the emotion of this season ending out of it as you're already spoiled for the "Ahsoka Lives?" conundrum that fandom was debating for ages!

[@HaroldDominguezhn]

These two episodes are gold. "I am no Jedi" quote gives me goosebumps

[@SpontaneousAndStructured]

My favorite line in all of Star Wars.

[@Wickedfan219]

Same here! It gives me goosebumps every time I hear that line!

“Ahsoka Lives?" Dave Filoni trolled us fans for a while with this one, by not telling any of us if this episode was going to kill her off.

[@glenns7252]

I always will remember when at celebration he had a t-shirt that said Ahsoka lives? And they watched the trailer to the next season and when the lights came back on his Tshirt read Ahsoka Lives! You're right hes a big troll in a good way

[@digitaladventurer2142]

they basically already confirmed she survived at the end with her walking into the temple during the last scene. we just weren't sure of the how.

[@Wickedfan219]

I actually remember being devastated when I first saw the season 2 finale when it first premiered! I actually thought that Ahsoka got killed in that duel but I’m glad I was wrong!

[@dylanshields7106]

Can’t wait for this tomorrow, it seem like only last week or so you started rebels, and now already half way through. Been really enjoying your Star Wars journey, and looking forward to the rest of the show and onwards

“A memory stabbed him, as sharp as a blade. He’d floated alone in an escape pod over Ryloth once, spinning high over its surface, after crashing a cruiser into a droid control ship. Another name bobbed up and broke the surface of the sea of memory. Ahsoka. He’d called her “Snips” sometimes. He pushed the errant recollection aside and focused on his task.”

[@crandleberrysadie]

@@ThomasCorp TY🙏 Off to Audible...

[@GeekGirl-ub7ki]

One of my favorite parts of these episodes is if you listen to what Maul says he is teaching Ezra the Sith Code. This is a fun easter egg for fans who have played games and read books in this episode. It also shows Maul sees the potential in Ezra to go to the Darkside almost immediately and makes his final decision in the moment at the chasm to take him as an apprentice.

[@claymccarthy6198]

He also sees Erza's potential ... Erza is a pretty powerful jedi

[@stevenmcmullan409]

Yay to breathing! I hear that there are positive health benefits! Last week you had a chill down your spine when Kanan said "we'll see each other again" to Hera. Now you know why. Note that Ahsoka would have defeated Vader had she not hesitated and simply pressed her attack. She defeated Darth Vader, but could not kill him once Anakin Skywalker resurfaced. Absolutely heartbreaking. Ahsoka is indeed the baddest of the bad asses and the greatest the Jedi order ever produced. Did you notice that Ahsoka took out the the *opposite* half of Vader's helmet than Obi-Wan did in his show? Dave Filoni has said that that is symbolic of Obi-Wan and Ahsoka representing and differing parts of Anakin's past, and Darth Vader is determined to destroy Anakin's past. It takes Luke, who represents the future, who breaks through the dark side and finally reaches Anakin. I mentioned in the reaction that reintroduced Rex that that was the Rebels reaction I was most looking forward to. This one was second. And I know what my third and fourth most anticipated ones are. That said, next week is not one of those reactions. However, I do have a couple of very specific reasons why I'm looking forward to it. See you then.

[@marthajones13]

I really don’t think Ahsoka could have defeated him lol

[@stevenmcmullan409]

@@marthajones13 what are you talkin about? She DID beat him. Watch the scene again. If she pressed her attack Vader wouldn't have had a chance, but she refused to kill

[@marthajones13]

@@stevenmcmullan409 you mean the part where she just broke his helmet? he wouldn’t have died no matter what she tried

[@GhoulishGwyn]

Reading Dark Disciple is definitely recommended, since it’s based on an unfinished Clone Wars arc. Helps to answer some lingering questions from that show.

[@Fosteringcat]

I was about to say, because ventress is dead.

[@thedoctor4327]

Still one of my favorite duels in all of Star Wars

[@Wickedfan219]

Same!

[@sarah_eliza_]

These reactions have been such a source of joy, I'm so happy to hear that it's been the same for you!

[@Blinkptx]

One of the greatest moments in the entire franchise. Those few seconds of Anakin and Ahsoka get me every single time. Same with the similar scene in Obi Wan. Chills every single time.

[@Wickedfan219]

Same here! I even noticed that both Obi Wan and Ahsoka sliced his helmet on opposite sides.

[@jpwphoenix1701]

This final two-parter honestly felt like an overall series finale, the first time I saw it. The last ten minutes are so epic and emotional, especially with the music and that end montage.

[@Wickedfan219]

I know! I watched the show when it first aired on Disney XD! My mom actually made me some popcorn while I watched the finale. I actually remember that both of the parts were combined into one episode.

[@jimmybisk]

Thank you for an amazing reaction to a show I love. It always serves to enhance my enjoyment when you react to stuff I love. You often mention how good the music is in this and I agree. It's a great emulation of John Williams original themes. On a weird side note, some years ago I was wacthing a re-run of a 60's series called Land of the Giants. When I heard the end theme tune, I tried to imagine what it would sound like in John Williams had composed it. I subsequently looked up what scores he'd composed only to find that he HAD done the theme tune to it! It was one of his first forays into TV. I don't know what made me think it, but that was a bizarre twist! See you next time!

[@darthkronical3390]

For context (includes spoilers): In the Legends continuity, Malachor was a system controlled by the Mandalorians (who re-settled on Malachor IV after the original Mandalore was devastated and became uninhabitable. 3,000 years before the Skywalker era, the Mandalorians and the Republic went to war (the Mandalorian Wars as it is known) and the Jedi decided there was too much darkness involved so they stayed out of it. A handful of Jedi that felt they should get involved, led by Revan, went off to fight in the war. Revan decisively wins the war using an ancient Sith ritual wiping out all life in the system - Mandalorian and Republic/Jedi - in the process. Revan then goes on to declare himself the new Suth Emperor, and attacked the Jedi and Republic after amassing his own fleet. This is all out of "Knights of the Old Republic" which is an RPG video game series. Whether the Malachor here still maintains the Legends storyline, this temple and the bodies surrounding it are 100% out of KotOR, even if just as an easter egg.

[@pcwkid76]

To me this two-parter was where the show became great. I just wrapped up the series and oh, what a ride...

[@Wickedfan219]

Definitely! I watched the show when it first aired and I can definitely agree that season 2 was where it got good!

[@Generalphoenix8438]

I already imagine tears and shock. It was no dought in my mind and her reaction ti vader and ashoka face to face will no dought make her cry. I even got slightly emotional when seeing it. I always imagines them like a big brother and little sister relationship since he helped her and they are both quite young. During the clone wars. Now adults who went separate ways.

[@austinpena5605]

Yeah the ending of this two part finale had me tearing up. The music made it emotional with Ezra tapping into the dark side

[@nickthepostpunk5766]

I agree the music in Rebels really adds to the show (as it does in season 3 and 4), and Kanan was really impressive after being blinded in the last episode. I think the reason everything feels so positive for you from the people watching your Rebels reactions is that a lot of people LOVE Rebel’s and they sense that in you too: it shines through in your reactions. You really get the show, the characters, their relationships and development. And you have a great on screen personality. I always really look forward to your reactions for these reasons 🙂

[@Sparda_LDK]

Season 2 was a blast! It’s been fun watching your reactions on Tuesday’s and we’re excited for for Season 3! ❤

[@timidwolf]

It's one thing to react to a show people love, it's another to be so invested in it that you're noticing the tiny details and connections that made those people love it in the first place. A popular title may get people turning up for the first episode, but to get them to come back for the rest of the series was your doing. Also "We'll see each other again" were a poor choice of words to leave Hera with, Kanan!

[@reierkeemil4784]

This two part finale was broadcasted aired at 7 pm at night on Disney XD. Dave Filoni wanted Ahsoka and Vader to meet again after the cancel of Clone Wars back in 2012. Their a special feature of Dave Filoni talking about this fight on KZbin if u have time to watch it.

[@acetrainer44]

Jess: “I’m not ready for this.” “It wouldn’t be the first time.” To be fair though, I don’t think anybody was ready for the emotional damage of Ahsoka and Vader/Anakin

[@bemasaberwyn55]

We should've known after The Wrong Jedi. Dave is an a*shole for inflicting emotional damage

[@camulusmagnus]

At risk of spoilers, but 'to defeat one's enemy, you must know them; not just their battle tactics, but their history, philosophy, art'; Twilight of the Apprentice gave us such an emotional confrontation between Ahsoka and Vader and I still shed tears when they face each other.

[@leosarmiento4823]

Several years ago I went thru nasal and sinus surgery. Unlike most people, my ENT had told me that mine wasn't going to be the typical procedure or recovery time. Instead of minutes under the knife, I was down for well over an hour. Instead of days to recover, it took 8 weeks (and even then, I went back a week too early and felt the fatigue and stress from it). It was about 5 weeks before they took out the packing in my nose/sinuses...which meant there were plenty of times I panicked as I couldn't "breath". For myself, beyond the primary reasons being met for the surgery, as a side benefit it improved my singing voice (and as a vocalist, that kept me for years from surgery). Then again, considering the patients my ENT had, I should have trusted him earlier. Hang in there. Things will get better.

Kevin Kiner. Ripping our hearts out with music since 2008

[@Jon_FM]

All of us were squinting at the screen as well so you were not alone with the Maul reveal. Knowing what we know now (without any future Rebels discussion) I remember that feeling with this battle between Vader and Ahsoka was probably one of the more meaningful saber battles in history of Star Wars at that point. I think Obiwan's in the series were very similar. Including the fact that they cracked Anakin's mask (on opposite sides). Something that really hit me in the previous episodes was Kanan saying he would see Hera soon. That hit me hard knowing he was about to lose his sight.

[@Jon_FM]

I personally really have enjoyed revisiting all this with you Jess, your reactions and your love of so many of the same characters feel like you are watching with someone who really cares for them. How can you not feel an affinity with some one who is so thoughtful and appreciative of the series. I hope you continue to get better and better health wise.

[@user-ww2oq8xr3q]

There is a book about Ventress concurrent with Clone Wars s6. You can find out about her fate there. Its called Dark Disciple.

[@bemasaberwyn55]

Much like season 1, this shows an escalation. It starts with the execution of the Academy Commandant. Here the 3rd Inquisitor this season and the introduction of "old Master". The thing that's ambiguous till this episode is whether Ahsoka knew. In Siege Of Lothal it seems his....rage overwhelmed her. She spent much of this season trying to get information. When they went to the Lothal Temple, Master Yoda(using Dagobah's Force Energy) to give Ahsoka and Kanan visions(this is why we know the Grand Inquisitor was a temple Guard, how Kanan was Knighted, and Ahsoka learning the truth). But she wasn't sure......not till he spoke her name. It took YEARS for us to learn her fate. This episode sets the bar for the remaining 2 seasons. And it is MASTERFUL

[@almonies]

At least the voice of the temple was Asajj Ventress. This helmet split was the first time it happened. I was also very sad and just blank staring at the show. I couldn't think, I was transfixed. I love getting to watch you react to this show, I couldn't tell that you didn't feel well. I am so glad you are feeling better. 🤞My fingers are crossed that you keep getting better.

[@TheZooBoy111]

These episodes are amazing, some of the best parts in all of Star Wars. Kanan vs Maul, Ahsoka vs Vader. Amazing scenes and dialogue with such depth. Honestly heartbreaking to see Anakin try to murder Ahsoka after all they’ve been through. Can’t wait for you to see the rest of the show, it gets even crazier! As for your personal comments, we love your reactions! Just hope you feel better!

[@monohedron9633]

The great thing about Rebels is each season is better than the last. Then it just maximizes in the fourth. So, good stuff ahead. Great reaction, and all the best in real life for you

[@robertmckenna3994]

I like how Anakin’s and Ahsoka’s reunion in a Sith temple is a twisted inversion of their goodbye in front of the Jedi temple.

[@UncleMilo]

In response to your final comments - I ABSOLUTELY look forward to your reactions to Rebel an many other shows. Not just because they are shows I love and enjoy, but I really appreciate your connection with the characters and you do the deep dives to really plumb the depths of the subtle stuff going on beyond the action and the excitement. For example, you're a reactor I KNEW would be emotionally impacted by the full weight of the fight between Ahsoka and Vader... and I knew you'd be one of the reactors to feel the emotion of Rex's silent reaction when he believed (like the others) that Ahsoka was lost. It is your connection and your heart-felt emotions of ALL that's going on in an episode that keeps bringing me back to see your next reaction. I am really glad that things have gone well with the surgery and I wanted to tell you that from the bottom of my heart, I believe you are made of all kinds of awesome and your reactions make my day all the brighter. So THANK YOU for sharing them with us.

[@stacyp2186]

Good job on figuring out it was Maul. You did better than I did when I watched it.

[@AlasdairGR]

Obi-wan cut away the left side of Vader's mask, Ahsoka cut away the right side. But it was only Luke that could take the mask off completely.

[@geekybrian]

Best episodes of Rebels in my view. They're all good, but these two (especially the last one) are just perfection.

[@marshsundeen]

I look at what happened in Obi Wan, Ahsoka broke one side of Vader's mask, Obi broke the other, and only Luke could take the whole thing down.

[@msoundg]

Oh, darling, we knew these would hit you hard! These amazing episodes were some of the best Star Wars IMO. We saw the cracking of the helmet first here and oh, it hurt! And we didn't know she survived back then. I love the long shot at the end, the music, Ezra crying in a blinded Kanan's arms. Nothing will ever be the same for our crew...

[@soundgal_sine_qua_non]

IT'S FINALLY HERE!! STRAP YOURSELVES IN!!

[@Helmkat]

My favorite part is when Ahsoka says "I won't leave you, not this time" and Anakin/Vader stands there for three heartbeats in total silence as if her words have stunned him. Then you see Vader emerge again as we knew he would.

[@drizzmatec]

It reminds me of the end of Anakin and Obi-wan's duel on Mustafar. After Anakin screams "I hate you" Obi-wan replies that he loved Anakin and you see Anakin is stunned for a second and the yellow dims from his eyes. It also lowers the darkside fueled shield Anakin had up, which is why he doesn't catch fire until that moment.

[@UncleMilo]

I've been soooo waiting for you to get here. The fight between Ahsoka and Vader is so incredible and so emotional... and I'm thrilled you recognized Maul before the reveal!

[@firecat4529]

22:27 What's up with Ventress can be read in her "Dark Disciple" book, which is one of the 10 clone wars arcs which Disney cancelled after taking over Star Wars.

[@Jamestopboy]

17:12 becomes an absolutely badass moment when you realise that Vader must have gotten out of his TIE Fighter *in flight* and used the force to steer it in. Did he have to do that? No. Did he do it because he's Anakin Skywalker and dramatic is *literally* his middle name? Yes.

[@bemasaberwyn55]

Remember he WILLINGLY shuts off his life support to dick with Rebel grunts.

[@Jamestopboy]

@@bemasaberwyn55 Yeah. He's keeping himself alive through sheer force of will...

[@EM-fl5od]

Unfortunately Ventress’ story ended off-screen, she had an 8-episode Clone Wars arc that was scrapped when Disney temporarily cancelled Clone Wars. However the arc was made into a novel called “Dark Disciple” where she teams up with Quinlan Vos and attempts to assassinate Count Dooku, it’s also a love story between Vos and Ventress. I haven’t read it yet but everyone says it’s amazing.

[@sofialu226]

S2 Finale is something else... I didn't know anything about the Clone Wars Show when I was watching this back then, I just heard about Ahsoka being Anakin Apprentice for some reason, but nothing else while watching this, and even I felt the emotional intensity of this.

[@yugoserie2217]

we are ready for this moment of emotions!

[@madelinegarber7860]

These two episodes are fantastic. That fight between Ahsoka and Vader is so emotionally charged and well coreographed. And my heart broke when we saw a bit of his face and was like I won’t leave you. Not this time. I’m here after wat hing her reaction to Kanan’s death.

[@ListerDavid]

This 2 parter always brings tears to my eyes, me and my friends was talking about it until the next season came out. I’m so looking forward to the first episode of series 3, 😉 for one small reaction only.

[@sheilapaolamillanrosas8922]

To me, this episode shows how Anakin/Vader, even when he's in the dark side, still wants his loved ones to be by his side. He offered everyone one of them a place with him, Padme ("we can rule the galaxy together"), Obi-Wan ("if you're not with me, then you're my enemy"), Ahsoka ("We need not be adversaries. The Emperor will show you mercy") and Luke ("Join me, and together, we can rule the galaxy as father and son! Come with me.")

[@TenebrousFilms]

About a millennium before current events, Malachor V was all but destroyed in the final battle of the Mandalorian War against the Republic. The war was a front, the mandos provoked by the Sith to weaken the republic. You may have heard of Revan? They led many Jedi in the war against the mandos, but Jedi at war... well, it's not good for them. Falling to the dark side, Revan felt the call of the Sith emperor, and when they (and their apprentice Malak) returned from the outer rim, they were leading the forces of the Sith empire. There are plenty more details to the story, of course, but that is the setting for the two Knights of the Old Republic games, and the MMO that followed. I remember being disappointed that the name of Revan seems to have been forgotten, a thousand years later. There's a couple of videos by DuduFilm I'd recommend watching: Darth Revan / Trailer and Revenge of the Sith - Lost Home. Just don't watch Military Minds - Journey. It's about to become very relevant...

[@lukeyread]

This is the episode we’ve all been waiting for. What an emotional rollercoaster episode 22 is!

[@firecat4529]

2:56 I think the Old Republic era is so interesting. Btw, there are 6 Old Republic game cinematics on KZbin which I can really recommmend to watch.

[@DavidBloodJohnson]

I wanna see the conversation maul and ahsoka had when everyone separated the first time. Would love to hear Maul tell her something like “so you are sensing something familiar about Vader? I told you so!”, where he tried to tell her in the clone wars finale

Have been waiting for this reaction…one of the best episodes of the whole series! Tuesdays ♥️ “What fun, what fun!” I feel like you’d get a richer perspective with rewatching on your own time - there is so much going on between the battles and the lore and the confrontations (and Chop being an MVP). & Good catch on Vader’s mask being cut open, that was definitely intentional in the Obi-Wan finale and a Moment for Rebels fans!! p.s. Kevin Kiner is back to score the Ahsoka series as well. I am excited and prepping for all the emotions…

[@Pinkielover]

I'd like to think that Ventress will show up in live action hopefully... sure I know about the novels but as you know novels aren't 100% canon , there was actually a unfinished episode of the clone wars where she falls in love with Jedi Quinlan Voss , You remember him from the clone wars he has face paint and he's a tracker Jedi anyway they fall in love and they mentioned his name in the Kenobi series it was written on one of the walls his name so he did survive order 66 hopefully with Ventress They both went on the run together... That's why that episode was really special when I heard that name

[@Mis7erSeven]

But these novels are canon and they will not change it. Only legends novels can be overwritten by other shows. If shows reuse elements from the canon novels, they only change minor details, but not the main plot elements and this is definitely a main element.

I always look forward to Tuesdays and I’m so grateful as I’ve been able to get joy out of your reactions even when I’m feeling really low so I just want to say thank you and I’m excited to see your Star Wars journey continue ❤️

I've been waiting for this episode every since you started Clone Wars. It was worth the wait!

[@therealred567]

It still gets better💯

Remember: Kanan told Hera "I'll see you again"

Although there are many more great episodes to come this is my favorite episode, its such an empire strikes back cliff hanger, and when i first watched this my thoughts were that this should have been a movie it was so well written

[@greenfalcon11]

Absolutely! Very much like the final four eps of the CW were a movie...

Maul trying to poach Ezra was a highlight of the show

Great reaction as always! This was one of the best of the series but there are a couple more episodes that will rock you hard as well. Buckle up Jess!

Character note that isn't a spoiler for anything in rebels. When Kanan met Hera he well at the bottom, and an alcoholic drunk.

[@Warriorten10]

Love you Jess! Great finale

[@StarkillerJoshua]

This is where the fun begins

As you can now imagine, the climactic battle in the Kenobi series was a lot less novel and interesting to people who had already seen Rebels.
