Star Wars: Rebels 3x17/3x18 "Through Imperial Eyes"/"Secret Cargo" Reaction

[@08191906]

"I believe Agent Fulcrum will prove far more valuable to the Empire than Kallus ever was." Dave Filoni's adherence to Timothy Zahn's Thrawn is PERFECTLY chilling.

[@darthroden]

Turning a traitor into an asset, a perfect character move for Grand Admiral Thrawn the master strategist.

[@stevenmcmullan409]

Mon Mothma is portrayed in Rebels by Genevieve O'Reilly, who also portrayed the character in live-action in Revenge of the Sith, Rogue One and Andor.

Fun fact: That guy, Captain Ander, is Gold Leader.....as in "Stay on target!" Gold Leader from the attack on the Death Star.

[@UncleMilo]

Your joy over the arrival of the rebel fleet really made me happier than I can adequately explain. Thank you, as always, for just being the incredibly awesome person that you are.

[@Mis7erSeven]

In Rogue One, the rebels are already organized in the Alliance, while in Andor and the first seasons of Rebels they were acting as small independent groups. This episode of Rebels showed us the important day when Mon Mothma created the Alliance and the war with the empire officially started. Great watch :)

[@charger70s]

When a routine refuelling mission goes wrong, the Ghost crew find themselves transporting an important rebel leader across the galaxy, pursued by Imperial warships.

[@jimmartin4912]

Colonel Yularen was the same guy from Clone Wars that voiced the Intros and he was an Admiral in the Galactic Republic and after the war ended he joined the Empire as one of the highest ranked Officers. He turned sour towards the jedi because his ship was destroyed during a reckless battle plan of Anakin and Ahsoka and he suffered injuries, but he survived. Later he even said that he didn't approve of the Jedi's methods of winning the war however he did admit that they were proven somehow effective.

[@darrenrichardson6146]

He's also on the Death Star in the Original Film which was his first appearance in Star Wars, always interesting to see background character get a retroactive backstory!

[@boomataco]

Im glad people are backing rebels. Its great star wars story telling

[@leonidasrising5998]

Fr, the fact that people are complaining how “it’s not a good show” all because of the animations…

[@neovoltron25]

16:26 This is one of my favorite moments in Star Wars history

[@jamesmayes4351]

Love how menacing Thrawn is in Rebels by coldly breaking down Kallus's betrayal.

[@mrkgman]

You know, the fanboy in me keeps hoping we’ll see the mon mothma speech done again in Andor S2

[@sebastianoleary2743]

I mean, we still haven't gotten to see the Ghorman massacre, what prompted Mon to give her speech, the speech in full, or how she got off of Coruscant. All of that could make for some pretty compelling television if you ask me.

[@SpeedyCat19]

@@sebastianoleary2743 Hell, they could even just re-do this entire episode in live action, but from her perspective LOL

[@christianwise637]

@@sebastianoleary2743 Seeing as she mentioned the Ghormans quite a lot during the show (something I'd totally forgotten about until I saw this reaction), it'd honestly make quite an effective climax to her character arc if we got to see this whole chain of events play out during season 2

[@thewheatharvester9156]

I would love to see Andor get her out and like rogue one, lead right into this episode.

[@madelinegarber7860]

Oh that would be delightful. But I kinda doubt it. I was hoping we’d get Kenobi’s holocron speech in his show but we didn’t. I’m guess we’ll see though.

[@GedUK]

I've just realised what we're getting next week! I know Sesska is ahead and has seen it already, but I can't wait to see her reaction to the best saber duel in the history of Star Wars.

[@jennifermedicus2735]

Never apologize for getting emotional - Rebels is good Star Wars, it's what it does. (Kevin Kiner's score always helps out quite a lot.) I'm here for the emotions!

[@TimelordRick]

Time for another exciting episode of "Jess tells Thrwan to STOP IT"

[@liamr4117]

It is always a joy to see Mon Mothma

[@amaelboisson5439]

This is with this episode that I found out that Yularen joined the Empire after the Clone War, I was pretty shocked, I liked him ^^

[@nicholasking4067]

Did you know he's in A New Hope? At the meeting of Imperial higher ups? He's the only one in the room wearing white, if I'm not mistaken Vader only steps away - the man he served with for years during the Clone Wars.

[@willfanofmanyii3751]

He's also on the Death Star when it explodes.

[@theunknownuser9609]

Joined the Empire? Buddy, really he just kept working for the same government

[@DanielRDrew]

The last moment of the Alliance coming together for the first time is still one of my top moments of all of Star Wars, and of course Rebels specifically. I really hope we see some connection to that scene in season 2 of Andor. I mean, seeing some part of that actual scene would be amazing, from Mon's POV or Andor's, or whoever's. But I just have wanted to see more from that and see what she went through directly after giving the speech to getting to The Ghost. It's the biggest moment in Rebel history apart from the events of Rogue One and destroying both Death Stars. Every time I see it, it just makes me think about all the characters throughout the sagas and how huge this moment was for the galaxy as a whole for generations.

[@ThomasKnip]

Tha bad thing about Thrawn? He is always chill. 😄

[@nickthepostpunk5766]

The ending always makes me tear up too, and I don’t think that’s silly at all when we know the context! 🙂

[@darthroden]

Wait till she sees whats coming up in two more episodes.....no spoilers, but yeah, she's gonna have some more happy tears.

[@nickthepostpunk5766]

@@darthroden Haha yes indeed 😀

[@darrenrichardson6146]

You shouldn't be ashamed of getting emotional at that scene of solidarity by the various Rebel cells, it's a pivotal moment in Star Wars History, and worthy of getting caught up in the moment, and it's episodes like this that proves it's more then just a kids show that so many fans keep being dismissive of.

[@charger70s]

Fearing that the identity of a rebel spy will soon be discovered by the Empire, the Rebels launch a plan to rescue him before he is caught.

[@kwanarchive]

I wonder what happened to her daughter that she felt like she could openly accuse Palpy.

[@grdoxsme]

Oh, my!! I recall posting a comment on one of the episodes of Season 1 when Kallus is properly introduced how much I love him... Just yesterday I was watching Rebels 2x17 "The Honorable Ones" cause it's my favorite episode of them all, when he realizes no one on the Empire cares for anyone, So Today this Episode is just perfect!! You know I developed a Star Wars character that becomes BFF with Zeb and Kallus? Love you Aleksandr Kallus

[@jamesbellefeuille2926]

"Did your droid just insult us?" Rebels fans: "Yes, and don't press the issue if you want to survive the next few seconds."

[@darthroden]

Pretty sure that Thrawn already had his suspicions about Kallus well before this, but this stunt only connected the dots and proved his theory.

[@crosskin6496]

It hurts to see Yularen with the Empire. I loved him in Clone Wars.

[@Pinkielover]

Hopefully we see that moment in Andor I'm sure we will , The next two episodes just both are god tier.. Also I can't wait for tonight season Finale of Ahsoka We're also getting Loki season 2 in a couple days Wonder if you're gonna do reactions to it ... I'd like to add thank you for not watching the Ahsoka series yet I know it must be tough But trust me it's gonna be well worth it you're not gonna be disappointed that you decided to go this way , but you are missed Always look forward to your reactions it's kind of weird not seeing your reactions to that show But I'll definitely be here when you do...❤

[@edwardthegiant]

I really want that scene on the calling for the Rebellion to be reworked on Andor S2 with Andors perspective!!!!!!!!!!!

[@christianwise637]

More than anything I'd love to hear the music that Nicholas Britell would compose to go along with that kind of scene if it ended up being included in season 2

[@UHmovierecap]

It's not ridiculous to get emotional. You have feelings and it gives you strength to express them.

[@MFSeaMen]

Next week is going to have the most tonal whiplash!

[@swanchamp5136]

I been so looking forward to it that I disappointed myself by thinking it would be this week.

[@ThomasCorp]

Fun really isn’t something one considers when Thrawn demonstrates his intelligence and skill. But your nervousness and dread upon seeing him do so, Jess, that DOES put a smile on my face.

Girl! I would kill for you to React to Star Wars on Mot Mothma cosplay for Halloween week!! No, serioius. You're not wrong on getting emotional. You have witnessed the sparks of the rebelion, and the many rebel cells... But this is it! The endgame where the sparks just reached the poweder and everybody take cover. Remember that moment on Rogue One when everybovy arrives to Scarif and the soundtrack plays Rebelion March trumpets? Same feeling. Well, it's SW, so it Rhyyyyyyyyyyyymes...
