[@IggyStardust1967]

I hope you have tissues for the next episode.....

[@branescan]

@@IggyStardust1967 spoilers..

[@danielsherman2969]

All seems lost and yet, Hera is strong and soon you will see how all unfolds

[@emproficecream]

She's already seen the next episode anyways, it's a great one tho

[@alexo_pog]

@@branescanspoilers for who? she saw the finale already;P

[@fakecubed]

When she was young, during the Clone Wars, Hera rescued Chopper from a crashed fighter where the pilot didn't survive. Now, Chopper crashes in another fighter, with Hera as the pilot, and he's forced to leave her behind.

[@paintwhisperer]

Rebels is such a great journey Especially with people seeing it for the first time. Keep up the work 👏🏽

[@msoundg]

Brace yourself, from here to the end it's such an amazing and emotional ride!

[@msoundg]

I forgot you're 4 episodes ahead in your Patreon, but still, it applies

[@shep4life]

This is where the fun begins

[@ashokazuni9966]

When you said don't worry they will be ok ,about Kanan and Hera I started crying. And then at the end when you said what are you going to do When kanan said he had a plan. Im not ready for next episode never will be.

[@Julini89]

I had not realised how far we have come in Rebels until the "dogfight" then I was like yep time for s... to get real :D

[@laurijaakkola3762]

Oh no… I just temembered that the next episode is Jedi Night😢

[@digitaladventurer2142]

Yeah Thrawn is cold and calculating but right from a logical standpoint. I mean a disobediant officer might end up costing them. Remember back in the season 3 finale Constintine's insubordination cost them the battle.

[@jasonknight1085]

This ep always reminds me of the earlier one where Sabine and Ezra steal the Tie Defender, with Thrawn saying something along the lines of "No, if Syndulla was the pilot your men wouldn't have lasted this long" Next episode is kind of the one I'm waiting for you to react to but... damn this is going to break you. The next few episodes get really honking dark really fast.

Rebel Assault as a title is a reference to the Rebel Assault video games. The Noghri are a race of warriors in a clan society. Like Wookies, honor is everything to them and they hate betrayal. According to now Legends canon (same novels in which Thrawn appeared first thirty years ago), the Noghri suffered a terrible ecological disaster during early in the Civil War (early in Empire's days) during a space battle between the Empire and Rebels. Their atmosphere was heavily polluted and their agriculture nearly destroyed as a result. Vader "saved" them and made them his personnal Death Squad in exchange for the Empire's help. They have a litteral cult on Vader. But the Emperor, to ensure their "cooperation" and total servitude poisoned their lands with so called cleaning droids to make them dependant of the Empire evenmore. Years later, Thrawn who took ownership on them used them to try to catch Luke and Leia. Leia narrowly escape several kidnappings and even captured one of them. The capture Noghri discovered that Leia was the Mal"ary'ush, the daughter of Vader and he pledged his allegiance to her. She discovered what the Empire did to their planet and unveiled the conspiracy, turning them against the Empire for good. Rukh appears in those novels as Thrawn's personnal body gard, a ruthless individual. I can't tell you more but suffice to say that according to Thrawn himself, Rukh had the talent to execute his dirty work "so artistically"...

[@lucasgrange9724]

You are mostly correct, except Vader told the Noghri to obey Thrawn as if he were Vader.

[@timothywhitfield8785]

Thanks for going thru this so fast.... I hate waiting weeks for the next episode LOL

[@lucasgrange9724]

Rukh is a Noghri. His race is bound to serve Thrawn by order of Darth Vader, whom the Noghri worship as the savior of their planet.

[@Mitthradata]

Ahhh yes. That stuff with leia and malaryush

[@quoniam426]

@@Mitthradata Sadly until further precisions, it might not be canon anymore...

[@Mitthradata]

@@quoniam426 I don't think it will be. They are remaking heir to the empire yes, but not as precisely

[@lucasgrange9724]

Don't see why this couldn't be included. Filoni went to the trouble to include Rukh. And Thrawn's story is largely unchanged. The only real difference is the timing of his promotion to Grand Admiral.

[@Mitthradata]

@@lucasgrange9724 well yes, but cboath is gone, replaced with two other jedi, and palleon is not thrawn's main apprentice/right hand man, replaced with vanto and faro. I don't think filoni likes to follow the story the way it was written.

Get ready for the next episode...

[@Freshfruitt]

[@brotherindy2642]

Did you make the connection of Caleb from the bad batch?

[@thomashobbes8786]

Cool shirt!

[@tdrewman]

So sad they took out R3. Remember he is/was Mart Mattin's droid, part of Iron Squadron from season 3.

[@willv7868]

What are you watching after Rebels?

[@wojtek561]

Probably S2 of Mando.

[@Azz-pz]

I wanted to wait for the last episode of this season but I couldn’t help myself

[@dayanna901]

Yeah, next episode specially is a side-quest filler.

[@littlebiglsteele4158]

there is no war in ba sing se

[@officialmonarchmusic]

Have you SEEN next episode?

[@officialmonarchmusic]

@@epicninjagameryt Sorry but it won't work. Emme saw the episode weeks ago

[@epicninjagameryt]

@@officialmonarchmusic yeah I realize that.

[@elahiac8372]

Don't you feel that something bad is about to happen? 😢😢

[@0LadyV0]

There are no more side missions from here. We are about a year out from Rogue One. Bring on Jedi Night.

[@jennym2276]

Loft wolves episode was not a side quest. We are serious at this point.
