Star Wars Rebels Recap - All Four Seasons Summarized in Under Ten Minutes!

[@SaladVonBaco]

I thought this was a really good quick synopsis of the 4 seasons, however, I think the only thing missing was the Bendu and his influence and should have been squeezed into it.

[@baileydavis1616]

Me too

[@jcraig1701]

Agreed but the chances of the Bendu showing or being relevant in the Ahsoka series are slim which is probably behind the omission.

[@Agentcproductionss]

Agreed

[@BryceKeepClipz]

@@jcraig1701He was relevant to Ahsoka before it was even made lol. The first time Thrawn Ambushed the Rebels On Atollon, Bendu was the only reason they were able to escape the planet, which resulted in Ezra being able to bring Reinforcements which was bringing Sabine back into the picture. Because she was off helping her family, to save her father from The Empire. Not to mention Bendu’s quote to Thrawn, after thrawn asks “What do you see?” Bendu then predicts Thrawns future saying “I see you losing, with many arms around you like a warm embrace.” And tried to shoot Bendu, but he disappeared before he could. So Thrawn will probably be thinking of his Last moments On Lothal & Bendu’s quote quite often. Considering it came true probably pretty important to Thrawns story.

[@jcraig1701]

@vilesaga419 I didn't mean relevant to Ahsoka's character. I meant to the series at least for now. They're already throwing a lot of lore at folks who aren't familiar with Rebels. Something like the Bendu would best be saved for a season 2 or even 3 once Ezra is back in the picture.

[@teddybacon1483]

“Steal a TIE Fighter while picking up groceries” Underrated Rebels moment lmao 😂

[@Korrin69]

OMG I LOVE THE ENVY PFP

[@peregrinations95]

Best thing about Rebels is how they worked in the old original Ralph Mcquarrie artwork .. it's genius how Chopper is an earlier Astro-Mech & the original Chewie design ends up being Zeb .. the evolution of the Clones to Stormtroopers using the old artwork too etc. .. Genius !

[@lydia397]

And that imperial protocol droid turned into a powerful destroyer, wasn't that concept of Threepio?

[@peregrinations95]

@@lydia397 Yes, the RA-7 protocol droid .. seen x2, in 'Ep.IX' was another Ralph MacQuarrie ! all those Droids in the Jawa Crawler scene .. a 'who's who' like the Cantina scene .. amazing how Dave Filoni source's, still, from those original drawings ..

That’s exactly why I made my sister watch all of Rebels. If nothing else I turned her into a Chopper fan.

[@JustInTimeMovies]

Rebels is an amazing example of what Dave Filoni can do with clear parameters regarding a start and a finish. He ties such a nice bow on the show’s ending. I expect more greatness with the Ahsoka show in a few days. 🤩

[@zephyr835]

Though I think Rebels has very little that can be skipped, it's interesting to think about the most important episodes -- or in the case of this video, to summarize the events of the series -- conveying all the major points with minimal confusion. Nicely done, Alex!

These videos have been so helpful in the leadup to Ahsoka. I've been forwarding them to my brother because he's never seen Rebels and truth be told, I needed the refreshers too!

[@RokBraker]

Thanks for this, there were a couple of story points I forgot about. Can't wait - almost there!

[@kvnngkronos]

Karrabast! What a good recap 👍

[@pillsofpink2546]

My parents did not watch any of the animated shows but know how excited I was for Ahsoka and wanted to watch it with me. My dad asked “if i spend 20 minutes of my life, and only 20 minutes, learning the backstory for this show, what do you suggest?” I sent him and my mother this + the Ahsoka backstory in 8 minutes video. They were perfect, thank you.

[@blackpowerdiva4958]

This was gr8! I’d forgotten a LOT! Very helpful. To me, you should mention the jump in time for Ezra & Sabine getting older / wiser. But this was good, as it’s hard to summarize 4 seasons. I need someone to do a short concise one like this for Clone Wars!

[@Itsuhtrap42]

Thank you for taking the time to honor the writers.

[@RyanHaney55]

Thanks for this refresher. I watched them all on TV and again on Disney+ during Lock Down, but it's been 3 years.

This is going to be great for my family, which got distracted before we finished watching the Ashoka machete-order Clone Wars and Rebels playlist. I don't know if something like this could be done for The Clone Wars, but it would be great to have.

And then they take off via hyperspace to parts unknown.. um, how are Ezra and the Grand Admiral surviving the flight through the vacuum of space with a broken hull? I'm having a difficult time with that little scene. Is Ezra maintaining the pressure on the bridge with the force?

I love this series but I have one complaint: I wish they would have told us more about how each character joined the rebels and maybe given us like a flashback episode of each character.

[@courtniepollard1557]

I feel like there needed to be more about the lothal wolves and their connection to the force.

[@MrHereWeGoYo]

Great show. Admittedly, it took me some time to warm up to it. When I did watch it I did so in very small doses (1-2 episodes at a time). The main reason being the look of the show but character/story-wise it wasn't grabbing me. Eventually I just jumped to season 4 to watch the show's closing episodes. I landed on "World Between Worlds". 😮All I can say is I was so impressed I didn't even finish the episode. In that moment I decided to give it another chance, so I went back and started from the beginning. Overall, enjoyed it. It's not my favorite piece of Star Wars lore but I have no problem placing it above some of the other more popular titles. With all that said, I find myself not that excited for "Ahsoka". I'll just say it has to do with casting and leave it at that. I'll still give it a watch and hope that I'm proved wrong. 🤞As long as we get a great story, to me, that's what matters most.

[@BullGator-kd6ge]

I feel like I'm the only one who actually prefers the more extreme, hardcore methods used by Saw Gerrera and his Partisans, really tapping into that Viet Cong methodology that inspired the Rebellion in the first place. And Saw is right. You can't play by the rules because the rules of engagement were set up by the Empire to begin with. I've never been a fan of the "using violence against the oppressor makes you just as bad" trope...
