Star Wars: Rebels 4x11/4x12 "DUME"/"Wolves and a Door" Reaction

[@christianwise637]

I like how each of the Ghost crew echo the five stages of grief in how they cope with Kanan's death: Ezra is confused and lost and unable to address his feelings (denial); Zeb is out for revenge and determined to hurt the people responsible (anger); Sabine is desperate to find some way to make sure Kanan's death means something and wasn't in vain (bargaining); Hera completely shuts down and is unable to do anything out of despair (depression); and Chopper tries to help the others through their feelings and find an appropriate way to honour him (acceptance)

[@darrenrichardson6146]

Damn, I never clocked that till now you mention it!

[@jamesbellefeuille2926]

Chopper already survived the Clone Wars scars, PTSD and all. Some of the Rebels protagonists weren't even born when Chopper walked away from the crash on Ryloth early on in the clone Wars.

[@corystanish]

Ezra asleep on the ground, suddenly sitting bolt upright in the middle of the night screaming "Aaah! What happened?" is pretty much how I wake up every morning

[@darthbradmedia8929]

😂

[@darthken815]

Cut back on the booze, bruh.

[@lucasdolding6924]

Chopper may be a little mass murdering psychopath but him holding Hera's hand is one of the most emotional moments in all of Star Wars. And yes, I love the music when they ride the Loth Wolves, one of the most unique pieces of music in Star Wars and it's so good.

[@jamesbellefeuille2926]

Hera is Chopper's "Mom"

[@IggyStardust1967]

Chopper is more devoted to Hera than R2 was to Luke. She rescued him when the ship he was in crashed on Ryloth, and has kept him going ever since. He's got an attachment to her that many biological life forms don't have to someone else. So it's no surprise that he did his best to comfort her when they returned.

[@willfanofmanyii3751]

Well yeah, Hera's been taking care of Chopper for over 20 years by this point.

[@Jon_FM]

This is one thing I love about Filoni, he never shies away from the mystical sides of the force. Something that others have been less likely to do. Rebels is just fabulous for how much it adds to the lore of Star Wars in ways that still impact the live action. Kevin Kiner is my second favourite Star Wars musical director after John Williams. He is brilliant in setting a scene and tone.

[@bemasaberwyn55]

Kiner deserves the accolades

[@illrated]

"Mystical" side of the force is pretty much what we all call it and youre right. Rebels dives more into it. Clone Wars dabbled as you know with the Mortis arc. More to come 😊

[@bemasaberwyn55]

Clone Wars started the more esoteric side of the force on Mortis that's true. And we did get a little bit more of that during the Sifo Dias arc that eventually spun into Yoda learning how to force ghost. I think that with the freedom Rebels gave Dave that Clone Wars had only started to give him, I feel that he was able to go much more in depth in a way that his mentor had always seen things.

[@2apocalypse-X]

In my opinion there is no "mystical side" of the Force, because by it's very nature the Force is mystical.

[@illrated]

@@2apocalypse-X Thats an opinion.

[@hint1k]

4x13 is next. The best 20 minutes of Star Wars incoming! The World Between Worlds.

[@bemasaberwyn55]

For me this episode is yet another example of how Dave and other storytellers who are acting as writers and showrunners on various projects are superior. I can count on a single hand how many shows that have actually gone and taken time for a character after a major event like this. As opposed to other shows where something major happens and they don't take the time to grieve. I remember when Jedi night first aired, and the entire internet particularly KZbin reactors collectively lost their shit. Many of us did not want to believe that it actually happened and when Dume aired the following week we were so very happy that Dave didn't just brush it under the rug and that he was showing that the characters were in as much pain as the entire fandom was. Now here is a rather fun fact. All the way back at the start of season 2 when there was the voice of the emperor after the siege of lothal the person that they had brought in prior to him being returning as Darth Maul was Sam Witwer ( who has in the years since Clone Wars voiced the emperor in various Star Wars games). We all freaked out when we realized that that was actually Ian who was voicing the emperor in wolves and a door, however they went back and actually had Ian re-record the lines from that earlier episode so in later releases such as physical media it was Ian not Sam

[@willfanofmanyii3751]

Tho Sam's performance as the Emperor in the beginning of Season 2 was much better than the retake they did with Ian.

[@bemasaberwyn55]

@@willfanofmanyii3751 I will agree to disagree and chalk it up to personal preference

[@ThomasCorp]

Once more Ian McDiarmid returns to the role of the Emperor! And... we shall have… peace.

[@bemasaberwyn55]

Tim Curry for me never fit in the final season of Clone Wars. Sam is decent. And Ian Abercrombie was incredible in the first five seasons of Clone Wars. But as much as I say no disrespect to Tom Kane voicing the Grand Master of the Jedi Order Ian(just like Frank) are on another level when they come back to inhabit these roles

[@chazo1367]

@@bemasaberwyn55 Tim was only brought in because Abercrombie died during the last part of the Maul-Savage arc, it's Abercrombie during the first part but changed to Curry after the fight when he lightnings Maul I believe.

[@Pinkielover]

A little Easter egg that you might know already, but didn't know the context at the time..in Andor series they show stones just like the one wolf Gives , Ezra in that art gallery .. so it was a fun Easter egg to see in live-action even Hera's totem was shown in that art gallery in the background, so it was pretty cool to see it... but yeah, I'm sure you watch the next episode, but watch with closed caption on.. that helps. You understand some of it. What's being said in the background

[@bennickell8477]

The way Zeb's expression just drops as he realizes what Ezra means by "gone". Then hugs his friend. Also Chop holding her hand breaks my heart. It's hard to understand him but chopper says "Its not your fault".

[@msoundg]

Amazing reactions! And you're so right, we needed the characters to have time to grieve because we felt the same and grieved together with them... Now for the most exquisite and unforgettable Star Wars moments, can't wait for your reaction!

[@jamesmayes4351]

Kevin Kiner is a master composer. The run from here to the end is just a total boss.

[@ShadowArtist]

@sesskasays the giant Wolf Spirit with the symbol marking on his head said his name is DUME as in Caleb Dume, Kanan's true name, *the wolf is the spirit of Kanan; manifested from The Force* so that wolf that IS Kanan....

[@ogbunb622]

I can’t wait to see you watch “Bad Batch”

[@GattsBerserkArmor]

Pay attention to how Sabine was able to hear the voices in that tunel the loth wolves were travelling through. 😁 Also get ready for the next episodes. Rebels really dives head first into the mystical side of the Force.

[@daanhogenkamp2346]

I love how this last season changes after the halfway point, somehow it shifts so massively and I always appreciate the character growth in just this last bit

[@playlistb3795]

Rebels especially delves into the spiritual side of the Force in a way I absolutely love

[@leisastalnaker3790]

The next episode is epic and I love how they are delving into the mystical aspects of the Force.

[@mightyrrt]

I've been waiting for you to watch these and the ones to come. This set of arcs are probably the episodes of Rebels I rewatch the most, and I have the same emotional response each time. Your reaction to the reveal of Kanan over Hera's shoulder was only slightly bigger than mine...and it never seems to lose its impact. Also, you may notice that Hera's voice has become slightly more somber, and stays that way for the remaining episodes. Just another example of each character's evolution over the series.

[@Wazaraku]

I marathoned Rebels not that long ago, I was spoiled in one many things... Kanan's fate included. So when I saw it on the previous episode I was still shocked... but not exactly sad. AND THEN COMES THE START OF DUME AND I NEEDED A GOOD DAMN MINUTE BECAUSE THAT WHOLE INTRO HURTED! T-T

[@jasonspaulding3949]

Thrawn does not tolerate failure

[@ThomasKnip]

From here on the episodes go crazy. In a good way. ^^ And this episode has its roots in Clone Wars 3x15. Dave Filoni's concept for long term plot lines never ceases to amaze me. ^^

[@TeamOhana]

I dreaded seeing your heartbreak last week. I knew Jedi Night was going to be rough. It was for me too. This arc for the series finale is great and I know you will enjoy it. Looking forward to future vids!

[@glenns7252]

Its good that you're taking a 2 week break, you're going to need it, but great you are following it up with ahsoka while rebels is still fresh in you mind, and it is refered to as season 5 of rebels, so cant wait to see you reaction for all of it

[@timw483]

Great reaction as always Jess. You're right, Rebels really knocks it out of the park this season. It's really a shame they didn't carry it further but after watching this, you'll understand a lot more in Ahsoka. I think the series finale will blow your mind. :)

[@ThePorpoisepower]

Hera wasn't waiting to tell Kanan she loved him(old news), she wantted to tell him about Jason.

[@deoradh]

There’s a lot to be said for watching the animals in Rebels. Ezra even points that out with Ahsoka’s connection. Ezra has his with the loth cats (down to some facial scars at one point). Now you have a loth wolf saying its name is Dume. Re Ahsoka: depending on your goals here, consider watching Mando first. There’s a significant character in Ahsoka that is first introduced there. You won’t lose anything important plot-wise in skipping that detail, but it’s a bit of a set-up for the Ahsoka show you may want.

[@glenns7252]

The next episode is one of the best episodes of rebels, no spoilers, but i cant wait to see your reaction to that episode

[@madelinegarber7860]

Ep11 is worse than ep10 imo because you get to watch everyone grieve in their own way and it drives home the fact that Kanan really is gone. But I’m glad that Filoni didn’t shy away from it and let us grieve right along with them. Not only that, but the repercussions of Kanan’s death are felt for the rest of the show and into the future. I loved the Loth wolves in this and hope we see more of them and the mystical side of the force in the future.

[@Jim_The_Fish]

As someone who recently finished Rebels for the first time, just you wait.

[@Cristinas_watching]

A break after Rebels is good. Think about how all of us are re-living this journey with you, this series is truly special ❤. Years later Chop holding Hera’s hand is legendary SW moment for our beloved War Criminal ❤️‍🩹. Hard to believe that Rebels Tuesdays will be over soon, but these final episodes….🤐

[@DanielRDrew]

These are some of the best episodes. After you watch the next episode, I can finally share a related video with you! XD You'll certainly enjoy it. I think it enhances the viewing experience of that episode.

[@ryanflake3481]

I think referring to it as the "Mystical" side of Star Wars is spot on. It is the opposite of Andor, which was focused on the grounded and "real" aspects. For me, Rebels balanced Star Wars perfectly between the two, where Andor missed out entirely on one of those two pillars. A good show, but not as *Star Wars* as Rebels.

[@shugaroony]

Yes precisely. Andor is great, but Rebels is great Star Wars.

[@jamesbellefeuille2926]

[@stepheng7325]

I remember first time I watched Kanan die, damn I cried, whats next on your list after Rebels? Ahsoka?

[@jamesbellefeuille2926]

I always assumed the image of Kanan behind Hera's shoulder was just that. To the community: Am I wrong in now speculating Kanan became a Force Ghost? My understanding is Kanan never came close to the level of both training and insight such a feat required. On a completely different topic, Sesska, take all the time you need for a break, especially with the holidays coming up. Your health comes first. Enjoy the Ahsoka series when you start it. Cheers.

[@SwiftJustice]

It seems to me that Qui Gon can train Jedi in force ghosting after they've died.

[@jeffreymeehan3116]

No, only a few Jedi really can become Force Ghosts. Even as far back as the earliest (chronologically) books in the High Republic series, Force Ghosts are somewhere between "rumor" and "myth" in the far and dusty corners of the Jedi Temple. If any Jedi had done it before Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, and Yoda then no one has met them. When Qui-Gon contacts Kenobi and Yoda they think they are going insane or being tricked. There is a Dark Side version of a Force Ghost that isn't unheard of. But it is more like a classic Haunting. A Dark Sider's soul is mounted to an area and is forced to stay just there until released. That is what happened to Darth Bane and the Grand Inquisitor. A fitting punishment for him. Although we do hear his and many other Jedi voices in Episode IX there usually has to be a lot of preparation before you get to be even a disembodied voice. It is at the very least implied that Yoda and Obi-Wan were reassembling their consciousnesses offscreen for some time.

[@UncleMilo]

Hi! I must once again post how much I want you to watch "Kanan Jarrus | Jedi Knight [A tribute to Caleb Dume]" from Heroes Fan Productions. It would be AMAZING to watch you do it as a reaction... but I just would love for you to see it. You're safe to see it (as it only carries images up to episode 11). Honestly... any Rebels fan who hasn't seen it should. It's an amazing fan video. Anyway... just had to mention it because it's that good... and I know given how much these characters have come to mean to you that you'll love the video as well! :)

[@cassandrareed5959]

Where can this be watched?

[@feralprocessor9853]

Cool, no more OP tie fighters to be a pain in the a$$ to the "Allience to restore the Republic".

[@feralprocessor9853]

Yup Govener pryce fu###d up and Thrawn is pissed

[@user-gy4xp2tu6f]

nice tv show? have you watched Star Wars: The Bad Batch

[@vincentvoillot6365]

I know exactly what you mean, the force is meant to be mystical ( not Midi-chlorians ). The (not so) subtle links between hyperspace and the force ( Purrgil, Loth Wolf ), the dead living through the force ( Ezra's parents, Kanan ) , the jedi temple on Lothal ( Path of the Jedi and Shroud of Darkness ) and the Bendu. And this will get crazier ;) That piss me off to have witness this quality of writing in Filoni and then watched Ahsoka

[@YodatheHobbit]

No, everything you're saying is wrong. The Force is The Cosmic Force and The Living Force. Ahsoka was exactly what we wanted after the end of this show and beautiful. It's hilarious that you're trying to gaslight a person into your own hate.

[@vincentvoillot6365]

​@@YodatheHobbit Hate ? I love Starwars, i know the OT by heart, i love clone wars, rebels, the mandalorian (season 1-2), play Kotor 1&2 and the Jedi Knight trilogy and i really love rebels. May 4th is my freaking birthday. Correct me if i'm wrong, but the comics and living force were introduce to clarified thing after the recon in the prequel. It didn't need to be so complicated. I love Star wars and i'm comfortable to say when george was wrong : * Replaced the wookies by the ewoks in ROTJ. * Make anakin the focus of the prequel, instead of Obiwan. * Wanted to "science" a magical practice * The Holydays special. Anyway, about Ahsoka, one of (if not the) favorite character in Star Wars, i'm sorry to say that her show has many problem in the writing department. * Thrawn is not strategist we knew, he couldn't even manage to catch Ezra on a quasi deserted planet. * Again a map-relic, it was dumb both time in the sequel trilogy, still is. * Sabine seem to have regress to rebels season 1. * Never explained how Ahsoka went to train Sabine (there is a story here). Cheer ;)
