Star Wars Rebels Season 4 - In the Name of the Rebellion Episode Review

[@LittleLargeMouth]

Saw Skypes the Yavin group lol

[@PeePee-Man-xo]

LittleLargeMouth i liked how casual he was about it 😂

[@999monsterjam3]

I think I know the real reason why the Partisans were booted out of the Alliance. Saw used Skype while Mothma wanted to use Discord.

[@eliahaskarpour8368]

id think it be the other way around

[@KolinAnimates]

Can we admit that Ezra is terrible at judging new people? (Hando, Maul, Saw)

[@Bayofthe91st]

Or attempting lame ice breaking moment

[@kingnamor777]

Kolin Karkosh Jedi vs Death troopers we both know who going to win thank you. when I see Ezra doing some silly stuff I take as piece of grass and move on Because that is star wars crew doing not character.(Because remember when he went dark side in season 3.)

[@lonelybanshee8593]

I've yet to see anything Ezra is good at, other than whining (on par with Anakin there).

[@wapple1492]

I personally like the conflict between mon mon mothma and saw guerra. It shows clearly the difference between a freedom fighter and a terrorist.

[@lonelybanshee8593]

So clearly that it's black & white, though. And never really paid off, because Saw dies a dumb death.

[@blackhatfreak]

What still kills me is that the troopers can't see through smoke, but their helmets are suppose to do that.

[@The_blindpizzaguy1300]

Mark Henderson there’s actually a really good exclamation for why that is in a certain point of view. According to what I read those suits don’t do everything they’re supposed to. I know what you’re going to say next about Fin saying that in TFA, but those are different than these. The ones in the force awakens are upgraded versions.

[@clingybird5628]

And besides, he said they only filter it out, as in they can breathe freely without getting carbon monoxide poisoning. Nothing about seeing through it, although that should probably be a standard.

[@notalanrogers3173]

I think it's time to accept the fact that the "SAW GURERRA DONT CARE ABOUT CIVILIAN UWU" rhetoric is not only false, but a severe misunderstanding of the character. I believe that Saw genuinely does care about civilians, and that makes his dedication to doing whatever is necessary to inflict casualties within the Empire, regardless of civilian collateral damage, even more significant. Saw understands that when people fight wars, bad things happen, and limiting yourself and your allies to only being able to fight when you're sure nobody that shouldn't be hurt doesn't get hurt doesn't make any sense, in any context. A character not spending several minutes of screen time brooding about things doesn't mean that they don't care about things. Sometimes, these things are intended to be implicit.

[@lonelybanshee8593]

Yep. Too bad he's only deepened in the novels, so all the visual stuff comes off as Forest Whitaker just acting like a crazy Che Guevara.

[@Elvisbackpack]

No mention of how Rebels finally showed a Lambda class shuttle instead of a Sentinel class?

[@TrajGreekFire]

who cares?

[@legomoviesstudios8822]

Star Wars nerds like us care

[@WilhelmScreamer]

Guy, I think that is more from the rebels art style than anything

[@dreadnought-ai]

HOLY CRAP! You're right I didn't notice, finally the sentinel Boner Lucasfilm has been broken! Hopefully we will see lamdba classes being used appropriately in the future.

[@Metatronio]

Hikaro Its kinda of a hybrid between the Sentinel and Lamda, but hey the show is finally showing the more common Imperial Shuttle

[@ort94041]

I understand the limitations rebels has with violence. They are running on Disney XD and contrary to clone wars they don’t want to alienate the little kids in their audience by getting carried away with the dark stuff. I mean Cartoon Network literally had to put a pg 13 warning before every episode later into the show. I wish that whatever animated series they make next runs on ABC or Disney’s new streaming service so it’s allowed to go all out.

[@betaich]

Here in Germany they weren't even allowed to air it before 8 in the evening and some episodes not even before 10 in the evening, because of youth protection laws.

[@Sistros]

Violence issues bahh, most kids see things far worse, for example: Dragon Ball, Samurai X, Bleach, Naruto and even watch Teen Wolf series. I never saw anything wrong in Clone Wars that kids couldn't see. When it comes to the movies, they don't care about it and i'm sure they know that kids will watch them. Things can be done with subtlety. Disney does what it pleases them.

[@ryanblock2115]

Tell that to the overlords at Disney :P

[@zeanith1729]

I hope they make a live action old republic show that is more for the older audiences. Exploring the mandolorian wars or something that would be great

[@todo3602]

Sistros Lmao anime is garbage though. Clone Wars is more than a cartoon. 10 beheadings in one season while rebels can't even show a stormtrooper dying on screen?

[@JanPeverell]

Saw Gerrera not killing stormtroopers? What is this?!

[@bavtie1]

ImperialistOpinions oh yeah, that was weird... He just stunned them.. I guess he tried to be steathy, and the stun mode is more quiet than the kill mode, soooo...

[@mitwhitgaming7722]

ImperialistOpinions IKR! Back in season 1 we see Sabine shoot Stormtroopers in the face poit blank, and now _Saw_ just stuns them!?

[@DalekChuFan9000]

I thought that was odd, though he may have wanted to interrogate them.

[@Shinytrooper]

Disney...

[@ort94041]

He just stunned one, the rest he killed

[@choir345]

That one lead deathtrooper, the female one, seemed pretty competent to me, she was doing her damn job. They just make the Rebels a little more op and by default the empire looks weaker

[@SrMissileMonkey]

Maddie plot armor still too strong

[@lonelybanshee8593]

Great point. She was kicking ass until she was apparently knocked unconscious by Ezra's Force bull-shitsu.

[@imperialprotocoldroid8570]

I thought when they showed the massive shadow looming over the cargo ship was the death star until they said it was a imperial star destroyer then I remembered that if it was the rebellion would have found out about it to early

[@jakemadlad1933]

Jorden w I still wish they had somehow shown the deathstars shadow or hinted at it in a way that the audience knows its there but not the rebels

[@Poke-ladd]

I liked the waving at the enemy joke they did

[@DenDhur]

The Death Troopers were a joke, especially the voice of the one that made it to the end.

[@artinua4091]

Bo C she sounded like that because she's a she

[@DenDhur]

MrTarantula Gaming didn't know Stephen was a girlname ?

[@deadpoolshitlist8510]

Bo C- The captain of the Star Destroyer even referred to her as, well, "her"....

[@DenDhur]

Digital Phantom astounding.

[@blitherpaladin7171]

Female spec ops - ew.. even in star wars.

[@_NIKOS9_NIKOS]

3:13 Saw Guerrera = Demoman from Team Fortress 2

[@eliahaskarpour8368]

yes

[@ARC9652]

lol he kinda does

[@MathMasterism]

"What makes *me* a good Demoman?"

[@Weeeeee711]

More reminds me of Barret from Final Fantasy 3

[@bavtie1]

I liked these a lot more than the Mandalore episodes, which I hated quite a bit... The story was pretty engaging indeed, but I also wished the Death troopers were a bit too nerfed. Didn't mind the unscrambled voices too much, and it was fun to hear a female trooper for the first time. But yeah, they keep destroying Star Destroyers and Light Cruisers like it's nothing in every episode! That seems waaay too easy..

[@legobdr]

Bastiaan Wiltjer ikr

[@t.j.corcoran]

They kinda get lucky to destroy those star destroyer's tbh

[@dreadnought-ai]

The light cruisers are supposed to be kind of "on their level" and they've never really defeated a ISD Directly.

[@kingnamor777]

Jedi vs Death troopers we both know who going to win thank you. when I see Ezra doing some silly stuff I take as piece of grass and move on Because that is star wars crew doing not character.(Because remember when he went dark side in season 3.)

[@mandohq2185]

King Namor 777 not really, it's not like Jedi are invincible. It would be nice to see a real fight once in a while.

[@rednas3271]

This should have been the premiere in my opinion

[@mahdirizvi9712]

I havent watched the premiere yet- should i start w this episode?

[@rednas3271]

Mahdi Rizvi you could, but some details of the premiere come up in this episode

[@monstaginga5273]

I actually didn’t mind hearing the Death Troopers voice. I was actually relieved that we can now put the stupid “I think they’re actually droids” theory to a close.

[@Vulture2264]

That and the stupid zombie theory as well.

[@monstaginga5273]

Kondoru2264 God yes that was annoying

[@Rilhon]

Also notice how this was the first time we saw the Lambda-class shuttle!

[@mitwhitgaming7722]

I actually gasped a little bit when the door opened and there were Death Troopers, I was disappointed the rest of the episode...

[@mitwhitgaming7722]

Jake Jennings True. We do see Baze dispatch two Death Toopers pretty easily, but he was on a *you just killed my best friend* rampage.

[@zakariyyaatariq2049]

I definitely gasped. I was disappointed but the episode was still decent

[@nuclearius3820]

_Mit_Whit _Gaming_ the deathtrooper commander was the best villain in this episode and died already

[@sharilshahed6106]

Said best friend was blind, walking in between multiple Death Troopers shooting, and was only killed after he succesfully did his part. And the death trooper that took Baze down, lol running into an enemy with live fire must've been a good idea. You're giving the Death Troopers too much credit, they're like Boba Fett when it comes to competence (and I'm talking about on-screen appearances, not other materials that buffed his skills to his looks).

[@mformacaroni1537]

sadly that's not the case, here is a quote regarding them "Death troopers were elite stormtroopers in the Galactic Empire's military. Stormtrooper candidates who excelled at their training were reassigned to the advanced death trooper camp on Scarif. They were required to exceed traditional stormtrooper standards, including height and weight, and had to meet certain ideological standards. The candidates were also subjected to a battery of physical tests and classified surgical enhancements, making them "beyond human". Additionally, death troopers had to complete more rigorous training than standard stormtroopers, including training in exotic environments. They were mostly assigned to small groups, with each trooper specializing in a specific skill set". So what we are seeing on Rebels is the fully trained and at their peak supposedly.

[@ER-yd3mn]

I also agree with you Alex, rebels are defiantly shying away from death. This is what I've always been disappointed in Of rebels. I thought season 4 can now be more mature so the empire doesn't keep dying with a couple of rebels! Especially the death trooper part! That pisses me off so much. To be honest if all the ghost crew die I'll be fine

[@vanitylegend3735]

Personally if the scientists don't turn out to be crucial to the Rebellion I'd have preferred for the scientists to have died in that escape pod.

[@Toranaga]

I initially thought that they were in the escape pods and, when they other came in to launch all escape pods, they died. Like ...damn, there they go, dead. Then it turned out that the escape pods they launched didn't have scientists in them. Or at least they didn't show it.

[@vanitylegend3735]

Toranaga424 yeah same wish they had the guts to kill off some rebels or st least would have had them spilt into 2 escape pods killing half which would have made a better strategy overall both in the show and irl

[@dreadnought-ai]

Pretty morbid, specially since they mention they have families.... *sigh* but something along those lines probably would of been appreciated.

[@Toranaga]

Well, our rebels did blow up yet another Star Destroyer with a huge crew inside.

[@vanitylegend3735]

Toranaga424 yeah but that's off screen deaths and is another example of Rebels glossing over violence

[@fuzzygurl23]

If only saw sees that the rebellion also uses assassins and spies who also do questionable things, he'll call them out for their bs. Their actions DO have impact after the Battle of endor shown in the bloodline book. It could play out as a reflection to the resistance vs the first order conflict.

[@kingnamor777]

Euodias Lee Jedi vs Death troopers we both know who going to win thank you. when I see Ezra doing some silly stuff I take as piece of grass and move on Because that is star wars crew doing not character.(Because remember when he went dark side in season 3.)

[@legobdr]

Saw Skyped the yavin group! Lol

[@jason-composer]

I rewatched the Episode and in the Jelindhi Relay scene when Ezra's impersonating Bromm Titus, HOLY CRAP I was so surprised to hear an "Star Wars: Empire at War" dialogue reference! It goes as follows: "_Marauder_ Cruiser standing by." "What was that? Your signal's garbled." Absolutely GLORIOUS didn't take away from Episode and it was super obscure. It might be an ordinary Star Wars dialogue line from Imperials but I remember it most from EaW!

[@LegoLogicalWithJosh]

I thought that it was a nice touch that the Death trooper commander was female, but a terrible choice to make them talk. Almost as if they wanted them to talk simply so you'd know that it's a 'she'...hmmm

[@commanderthornz-6931]

First time we saw a normal lamda class shuttle and no troop transport i guess. Or I am worng?

[@Echo0221]

Commander Thorn Z-6 you aren’t wrong

[@darthjarjarthewise3279]

When they excited hyperspace and they said there was nothing there I was honestly expecting the frame of some part of the death star to appear and it was shadowing every thing else

[@baileybradley5000]

Darth Jar Jar The Wise same...

[@mformacaroni1537]

only problem with that is it gives away the existence of the death star to the rebels. They never knew about it's existence till the destruction of the holy city on Jedha and even then it was still not believed until the battle of Scarif. I think the whole point of that scene was to make Saw appears as a Psychopathic and delusional man to Ezra and Sabine since is pretty much proved it already with his extremist label.

[@GAdmThrawn]

What I like most about this episode arc was that much like Rogue One, we got to see how different Rebel cells handled themselves and the Empire. There was a clear distinction on how the Partisans and the Rebel Alliance to Restore the Republic believed in what they thought was right, conducted war, and operated. Saw has tunnel vision in his search for the Empire's super weapon and is not willing to deviate from his course and neither does he care about who gets in his way. Unlike Mon Mothma or General Dodonna, he doesn't plan for the long term, and instead wants to destroy the Empire wherever he can find them or at the very most hurt them enough. I do think that there is a bit of inconsistency with him as one time he's willing to blow up a station with dozens of Imperials, next he's stunning and knocking stormtroopers unconscious, and then he's willing to blow up a whole ship with enemies, allies, and civilians alike. There was one moment in his fighting with the Deathtroopers where he was about to kill the commander but then it cut and turns out he only missed (from only a few feet away; does Saw have stormtrooper aim?) While this may indicate his mental instability, I think it has more to do with the writers of the show and their unwillingness to keep Saw a consistent character. Oh for sure, Rebels has no qualms with deaths but unlike TCW, they don't get up in your face about it. It's always in an explosion, a far away blaster shot, falling, or off-screen. They don't bring the camera close to the character's faces either or when they do it's mostly stormtroopers and it's okay because they're faceless. The deaths in this episode have been inconsistent as well. First they're willing to kill people, then they don't, and then they do again. Yeah, where does Sabine keep her paint? ...Does she have lube on her as well? I really hate how they changed the Death Troopers. The voice scrambler is abandoned as is their sensor systems within their helmet and with smoke no less! Hell, even standard stormtrooper helmets are supposed to be equipped with vision enhancements! The show devalued their intimidation and made them less elite, and thereby less of a challenge to the Rebels. I did find the fact that their commander was a woman a surprise as these troopers are physically built to be more masculine. I think that this is the work of the cybernetic enhancements but I'm not sure. It's a shame that she wasn't saved by the explosion. I would've like to have seen her appear more often now that we lost two significant Imperial officers.

[@tTaseric]

Scientifically it makes no sense that a woman is a deathtrooper since death troopers were meant to be the strongest, tallest, smartest in the ranks (Men are naturally all of these characteristics) But i think it would be cool to see a Death trooper appear more often.

[@arseyrc]

I liked how Saw's 'big head' being projected above everyone foreshadowed Snoke in TFA.

[@TheRoguePrince0]

the bit where the star destroyer blows up remins me of the green mass effect 3 ending

[@lonelybanshee8593]

Without the galactic-wide rape, though.

[@Naminski1a]

That was a great review for Star Wars Rebels: In the Name of the Rebellion.

[@mformacaroni1537]

I am disappointed by the Death Troopers in this episode, it has completely diminished their role overall. I'd rather they had stormtrooper's in that role since they acted like the portrayal over every Stormtrooper in rebels. I can only hope that they redeem themselves either later on in rebels or through other expanded material. They can start their path of redemption by executing Ezra first and eliminating some Rebels. Alternatively let's see them actually destroy some of the Ghost crew members except for Hera and Chopper. That way the Death Troopers can be what they were meant to be, Death Troopers.

[@kingnamor777]

Mulahven Jedi vs Death troopers we both know who going to win thank you. when I see Ezra doing some silly stuff I take as piece of grass and move on Because that is star wars crew doing not character.(Because remember when he went dark side in season 3.)

[@mformacaroni1537]

True the Jedi have the force on their side, though that didn't save them from the clone troopers. Again my issue is that I feel rebels is diminishing the threat of the empire, the only character who is legitimately a threat is Thrawn and his Tie Defenders. Everything else, the star destroyers, the Arquitens cruisers, the stormtroopers, AT-AT's and all the things that represent the might of the Imperial army don't feel like a threat. Another thing is the Death Troopers in this scene felt very weak, when I saw them I thought they were going to be a major threat but when the fighting starts that changes. They didn't fit the bill of being the Elite of the empire with perfect body and ideological mindset, rather just another grunt. I was hoping Rebels would present them as a bigger threat, bigger than how they were in Rogue one. Honestly as a character I find Ezra weak, I feel in comparison to Kanan, Hera and Sabine he doesn't seem like he evolved much. This episode with Saw could have really challenged Ezra more about having good morals and being slow to act over being a radical, getting results but being forever stained. That being said all of this could come from the Finale. The empire's true might, Ezra's downfall (Whether death or corruption) and the stakes, the price of war overall.

[@seawind930]

Well at least there not as bad as Shore troopers, all they do is hang around the beach, and they can't even get a tan with that new armor.

[@heinoushedgehog9712]

I would hardly consider Ezra to be a jedi. Padawan? Maybe. If Kanan was there, I would agree with you.

[@heinoushedgehog9712]

I agree. Rebels nerfs the crap out of the Empire. We see stormtroopers decimate the crew of the Tantive IV, only to lose a few of their own. The Death Troopers killed every rebel that was with Chirrut and Baze. Hell, the Empire basically destroyed the rebels on Hoth, forcing them to go into hiding. When I watch this show, I literally don't worry at all about the characters, because I know by now they won't die. Hopefully that changes in the finale.

[@tehuselessguig3138]

I like how the episode shows us how different, but similar both rebel groups are with Saw's behavior matching Mon Mothma's at some points

[@EitherProductions]

Very interesting! You had the very same observations I did, which I commented on in Force Within TV's episode review. I am with you on that the garble was translated for the audience so that the communications between the Commander and the Star Destroyer could be understood, even if I didn't care for it.

[@davidbujna8480]

I loved Erza waving at the Imp guy and then at Ghost

[@HappyGoCrazee]

The thing I liked least about the Death Troopers here is that the one who we get to know a little bit dies with no pomp or circumstance. She was actually winding up to be an interesting character. Her squad had been wiped out, so it would have been interesting for her to end up with a vendetta against the Ghost crew or Partisans and see her pursue them. It could have made some badass backstory for Death Troopers.

[@spiderpig1716]

r.i.p brom tidus

[@ComradeDragon1957]

2:00 "Saw Skypes the Rebels" lolz

[@-lgoonareternall-3772]

Something that I liked is how the crystal 'sang', and I noticed that when it was overloading, it sounded like it was screaming. Little things like that are really cool in my opinion

[@Rockden]

Death Troopers didn't use scrambled communications simply because they were on a cargo ship and were not expecting hostiles. At least that's my headcanon.

[@omarbaba9892]

Tbh I’d say Brom’s position in this episode was a promotion from his last one. Going from managing a scrap yard to an important base with tie defenders

[@passerby5735]

Why was the Kaibur green if the new cannon says they're all colorless until attuned to a Force user?

[@passerby5735]

I personally like to think some incredible Force user attuned it. Or maybe a whole society of people whose culture involved the force attuned it. But yeah, that's a Death Star sized plot hole. Now I want to see Palpatine bleed a giant Kaibur crystal, lol

[@declannewton2556]

Mhadra Maybe Ezra tuned it because he he heard it?

[@i99warhawk]

When the door opened the death trooper actually spooked me.... Thats about all I can say about them. That and the fact I think the death trooper commander is probably the only imperial trooper that has more than 1 line in the entire series.

[@TheLoreSeeker]

Best part. "Who is this?!" "This is COmmander Brom Titus." "IMPOSSIBLE! I'M COMMANDER BROM TITUS!!!"

[@jediarchives7826]

I was surprised by the U-Wing and how powerful its lasers were. They did significant damage to the Marauder with each shot, something we only see proton torpedoes or turbo lasers do, and how casually the TIE Defenders were dispatched. You were right about how they killed them in an accurate way, but you'd think they'd be higher up the command chain than Titus given his many failures

[@tv9mpeti]

I didn't liked how easily our heroes handled the deathtroopers. However I forgive for that when at the end the last deathtrooper keeps fireing on the leaving shuttle, despite knowing it won't change anything. That's some true Impreial spirit, and I loved to see it.

[@Darkpentagrams]

I loved the TIE Defenders, and really looking forward to see that Space battle with Defenders in action we saw in the trailer.

[@theespressokid1]

1:58 "that night Saw skypes the Yavin group" Haha!

[@iaindonald7868]

I loved this weeks episodes. I loved the tie ins, I loved the deaths. I loved how Ezra is still young and naive and is split between mon mothma and saws ways of dealing with the empire. It felt like it packed Son much in and was thoroughly enjoyable.

[@Icybubba]

"Gerrara skypes the rebellion" I laughed way too much

[@cameronadams1125]

How do imperial ships not have some kind of radar allowing them to see in the fog?

[@MathMasterism]

I felt a chill when I heard the stormtroopers scream as they fell off the side of the dish. You could hear true fear in their voices.

[@Compucles]

I had a worse chill when that Star Destroyer captain realized that he and everyone else on board was about to die, and there was nothing they could do about it. "Oh.."

[@Sistros]

I absolutely agree with you in every aspect Alex, especially how the Empire keeps being "toned down". Stormtroopers, apart from being humans and less stupid, always remind me of CIS Battle Droids from the Clone Wars. Another thing that bothered me besides the Death Troopers being easily killed and even having their leader running away, was the fact the a U-Wing made such a huge damage to a Arquitens-class Cruiser with such ease. Bahhh!

[@joshraymond979]

Yah think anyone told saw that his nemesis and his sisters killer kalani is still functional?. I think an interesting episode would be the ghost crew seeking kalani out for infomation on super weapons because most of them were started by the cis and perhaps when they find him saw and his partisans ambush them. Perhaps kalani is the reason why saw is mortally wounded in rogue one.

[@bookerd297]

Who was the female commander that the shuttle was being prepared for on the cargo ship? I think she came up a few time but no specifics were given, could it be anyone of importance who might have slipped away before the explosion?

[@mpir7084]

Ezra and Sabine should have captured that deathtrooper commander while escaping. They went out of their way to save the prisonners but left behind the only person who might actually have known something useful about the Kyber crystal thing. Come on Ezra, you're smarter than this! Also poor Brom Titus, Ezra's attempt at impersonnating him was surely among the most hilarious things to ever happen on this show.

[@funguy873]

I agree with the nerfing of the Death Troopers, but hearing their unscrambled voices makes sense, it's like we are hearing them in their encrypted frequency, in which they can communicate with other imperial troops but be heard by the rebels.

[@lucaskalabric8709]

Kallus is loking like Cassians boss from rogue 1

[@danielhales8169]

Not gonna lie I did nearly poo myself when the door opened to the Death Troopers and the scrambled talking at the start, I love that both men and women were accepted into the Death Watch programme as well as we don't see female troopers in films or Rebels like at all but we know that women are accepted thanks to various novels like Battlefront: Twilight Company

[@lonelybanshee8593]

Yeah. It's important.

[@tTaseric]

How do you know that they were all male? They were all wearing masks and only a few speak in the entire franchise out of the millions of storm troopers. From a pure scientific standpoint Death troopers should be all male (Naturally taller, stronger ect) But it is nice to see some diversity.

[@Arthus850]

I personally would have made that one Death Trooper have a scrambled voice when talking to her fellow death troopers, but when she contacts her commander and other storm troopers, she presses a button to unscramble her voice.

[@AbsolXGuardian]

"Saw skypes the rebellion" actually laughed for that.

[@sidomadev1737]

I really love Rebels right now. It seems very fitting for me. It's both fun and interesting with the story! I enjoy it even more due to me reading a lot of the novels. I actually just got done reading Guardians of the Whills yesterday.

[@georgeterrill7279]

2:14 "Remember... No Imperials" -Saw Garrera probably

[@sdimerc5571]

Thanks as always for your review! I thought the episodes were quite good - although the continued incompetence of the Empire grates a lot. I am hoping Thrawn can take the Rebels down a peg or two next week just to level the scales a bit. Judging from the preview clip, however, combined with bits of the first trailer, the Ghost crew appear to be able to steal a TIE Defender. I really hope that does not happen because it is becoming ridiculous what they manage to get away with. Luke, Han, Leia? Pfff, second rate heroes compared to the Ghost crew. Which is one of my main gripes with this show. It makes the accomplishments of the "original" rebels seem much smaller.

[@pauljankootje3943]

I was also dissapointed hearing the Death troopers speak english, they sounded so high pitched and wimpy. As if they all had a C-3P0 voice.

[@hac3359]

Paul jan Kootje i think this set were jar jar offsprings

[@nicvz8644]

when saw mentioned a civillian cargo ship i was personally hoping that it was just a civillian ship that just happened to have that kyber crystal but they didn't know that, it could have been a way to show the audience how rutleles saw was towards civilians by him possibly attempting torture or even beat them

[@benedictgodson4848]

"Saw skypes the Yavin group" Hillarious

[@hbtdawgz1688]

I think being around the kyber limited the Death Troopers' options to fight. They know its volatile, the rebels dont. Once it was unfrozen she made it a point to leave the room at once.

[@James23873]

Remember the rogue one trailer with the death star hidden in shadow? And we see it get revealed? I was expecting it to be in the back ground the whole time shadowed, and after the ghost leaves it gets revealed.

[@t.j.corcoran]

#ripbromtitus he just wanted to get a promotion

[@declannewton2556]

T.J. Corcoran The one thing I didn't like. I knew Titus was a side character whom seldomly appears but I like him being a bumbling idiot.

[@BattleStryke]

“Skypes the Yavin group.” 😂

[@mahenjayawardana397]

the sudden appearance of the death troopers got me so hyped...that immediately died when the started talking and getting knocked out like insects T_T.

[@mahenjayawardana397]

wow...you had a lot to say about that :D and Yeah dude, you have a solid point there. guess the only downer now is the voices.

[@rolandmcneal3806]

I loved both episodes and it show what the rebels were up to before the battle of Scarif that tie in i hope shows more in the coming episodes.

[@betaich]

What kind of ship was it in which Sabine and Ezra and the rest turned up in an Javin in the first episode?

[@FrumpleJames]

I'm surprised Saw wasn't seriously injured in this. I wonder if we'll see him again; we're clearly moving towards Rogue One, and time wise I'm quite sure we're not far off it. I've had a feeling for a while that Rebels was going to directly show how Saw collected some of his injuries, or at least establish when they were manifest. An aside showing he was starting to struggle breathing due to the exposure to the gas on Geonosis, for example.

[@M4DH4D3R]

Overall better action and storylines. However, as they continue with the lack of serious consequences I fear that we won’t see Ezra and Kanaan dead by the end like they should be.

I know what you mean. The biggest dumb imperial blunder for me was when that female officer had her light cruiser fly over the crater on Geonosis to stop the Ghost escaping, nobody(not even a small child) would ever put their ship in such a vulnerable position, I could not believe it when that happened, it was so obvious the Ghost would just blast the ship apart from underneath!

When you say third kyber explosion, are you counting TCW?

[@tylerbruso25]

I really loved these episodes, they're up there with the best

[@Yic17Studio]

IKR I wish the death troopers were more threatening but they seemed just as weak as regular stormtroopers.

[@Metatronio]

The Death Troopers in this episode sound like RvB troopers, especially the commander

[@jinkwon8410]

The whole idea of Death Troopers is that they are the 00 agents of the Empire. Degrading them to the same level as Stormtroopers is just sad. First, horrible aim in the fog, and being able to speak without the garble? I mean, the whole idea of the garble is so that the Death Troopers can only communicate with each other!

I suppose we have to imagine the rebel base on Yavin 4 more busy than actually shown. It felt so abandoned in the episode.

[@NathanK8848]

This is should have been the season premiere. These 2 episodes are near the top of my all-time favorites.

What was the second kyber crystal that the ghost crew destroyed?

[@StarWarsExplained]

Season one, Breaking Ranks

[@emperorpalpatine66]

Chopper is a killing machine

[@JacksonBegleymusicguy]

If the death troopers spoke, it would have been better if they all had Dee Bradley Baker's clone voice. It would make sense if the death troopers were clones of Jango Fett.

We also got some info on ezra’s new kyber crystal

[@alenor210]

I didn't like how they ungarbled the death troopers, but i think i found an in-universe explanation. When the door first opens and we see all the death troopers together, they have garbled voices. But when there is just one trooper left and he has to order around regular stormtroopers, his voice is ungarbled, making me think that he only ungarbled it so that normal troopers could understand him.

[@ConnorNotyerbidness]

At the start of the episode i was shocked at how high the quality of the animation had jumped

[@vanitylegend3735]

I just want to see Zeb, Rex and Kallus form and triage of ferocity with just dropping Stormtroopers left, right and centre.

[@GSarge17]

I was surprised to see a Lambda-Class shuttle instead if a Sentinel-Class from the first seasons.

[@mcrash653]

The scrambled voices are for death troopers to talk to eachother. If they were to talk to a normal storm trooper (like that one trooper who does) the storm trooper can't understand the death trooper if he scrambles his voice. That's my reason for the unscrambled voice

[@lockedheartunlocked]

For me, any episode with Sabine is a 10/10 episode!!!

[@222toastedtoasters3]

Where do you watch Rebels?

[@HockeyCoachMark]

I bet that the relay explosion is a nod to the shield generator explosion in ROTJ.

[@arvidnilsson464]

Why did a Random light cruiser have Tie defenders?

[@QuinnVietnam]

The episodes were okay could of been a lot better but it was good to see a u-wing from Saw's carvening angels(something like that) and I told you in your trailer review that the prisoners were working on the death star.

[@johnphilipostapovich1247]

This episode reminded me of the unfinished "Crystal Crisis" arc from Clone Wars

[@dfunkmale]

I think it's important to keep in mind that this is a cartoon for kids. It's not aimed at adult super fans, so Disney is kind of doing us a favor in keeping it interesting for older audiences by tying it so closely to the more adult properties like that movies, books, and comics. In fact, no star wars media is aimed solely at adult super fans because there aren't enough of us to keep the franchise financially solvent. Disney throws us a lot of treats in a show that isn't *for* us. They're also developing a new generation of super fans by giving kids a jumping off point to check out the more mature media later, which is also pretty darn cool.
