I can’t believe you did include Ezri Canaan’s second fight with the Grand Inquisitor in episode nine of season one

[@B1-268]

Rebels epilogue

[@johntfs]

Vader taking out Phoenix squadron.

[@Macintosh1001]

Ahsoka confronting Vader was both epic and tragic. The moment when you see part of Anakins face and hear Matt Lanter's voice through the cracked mask was just chilling.

[@dreamguardian8320]

It was epic and tragic alright, almost as epic and tragic as the duel between Obi-Wan and Anakin.

[@totalcreativegaming6681]

Honourable mentions: Gregor’s death, and the introduction of old Rex, Wolfe & Gregor

[@madelinegarber7860]

Yes! And seeing Bo and her clan again and her and Sabine destroying the Dutchess.

[@crimsonvoid1595]

Rex actually appears in Return of the Jedi as part of the away team attacking the shield generator.

[@roaringsun4743]

Ezra: "I am not afraid of you." Vader: "Then you will die braver than most."

Damn I love this quote

[@jerrygil1965]

[@anubhavdassharma1854]

Vader approving of Ezra's bravery and saying that he will kill him is so messed up lmao

[@TCWRebelsResistanceWords]

Kanan’s sacrifice will ALWAYS be the saddest Star Wars moment for me. When that episode aired, I had just lost my grandmother a week earlier and Kanan and Hera’s tender moment was the first time I actually smiled since then. But that was short lived cause one of my all time favorite characters was to be killed only a minute later, causing me to cry myself to sleep that night

[@madelinegarber7860]

Oh god that’s a double wammy. For me it was the 1 2 punch of that and everyone grieving in the next episode.

[@TCWRebelsResistanceWords]

@@madelinegarber7860 IKR!?! Talk about salt in the wound!!!

[@jerrygil1965]

My deepest condolences

[@TCWRebelsResistanceWords]

@@jerrygil1965 thank you. Five years later and it still deeply hurts. Sometimes I still come upon a “trigger” where I just start crying out of nowhere because of the two losses I encountered within a week. To this day I STILL feel like a huge part of my heart is still missing

[@Gor85]

Most sincere condolences

[@DragonStar524]

I don't get why some people say this show is trash. THIS SHOW IS AWESOME!

[@dreamguardian8320]

Agreed.

[@masale]

Legit criticism is that just like with TCW, it starts off like a "child show", first season at least. But you are absolutely, once people get beyond that, this show did something non of the movies did (except for Rogue One). Which is to create new characters that become loved and part of the lore. This show created Ezra, Kenan/Jared, Thrawn, it also introduced the Inquisitors and expanded further for other beloved characters such as Ahsoka, Maul and Cpt Rex. The way last season and half created a story arc that lead to the final and now because of that story ending we have Ahsoka show to expand on that. Top tier, people are sleeping on this show.

[@tarden132]

I wish rebels would have gone more than 4 seasons

[@THANATOS-PRIME]

The final battle between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Maul was beautifully done.

[@justsomeguy9073]

Agreed. The duel was very samurai style inspired.

[@bennywark3103]

And quick

[@clockzy2843]

Maul tries to use the same move he used to kill Qui-Gon. Obi-Wan baits him into using it and kills him. He even starts the fight in Qui-Gon's form.

[@brokenbridge6316]

Yes but it was too short. I expected it to go on a little longer.

[@alexkwon9099]

It was Really a master piece. my favorite scene I. Star Wars

[@chrisbaz050]

Gotta give love to any moment featuring Hondo😄 But one of my favorite moments is when Kanan first revealed himself to be a Jedi at the beginning of the first season. The fear in the troopers and the hope in the wookies combined with the score when he ignites his lightsaber is priceless

[@niobium79]

Absolutely....that moment got me all choked up

[@brokenbridge6316]

My favorite moment of this series was when Ashoka revealed herself as Fulcrum. It made me shed a tear. Ashoka is my number one favorite SW character.

[@Kellerjung]

The turn of agent Callus is definitely noteworthy!

[@Spage-fk2dp]

That's more of an arc than a scene, but I can agree

[@custerfriesen652]

I think the moment you should've mentioned was the moment Kanan became a Jedi Knight and finding out the Grand Inquisitor's true identity.

[@alexkwon9099]

That actually is true, I didn’t think about that.

[@masale]

This show had moments that are far superior to most of the movies. I say that because it actually made you connect with the characters. This made Maul somehow more menacing and more captivating than on TCW. Like when he walks out at Sith temple and the Inquisitors say "the shadow" and he laughs maniacal. Also when Kenan says "where is Ezra and Maul says "my apprentice" and blinds him. Every scene of him was 💯. Ashoka introduction was such a big moment. A more mature and wise Ahsoka toying with the Inquisitors was pure gold. But my favourite moment will always remain Vader and Ahsoka meeting. The dialogue alone was handled far better than anything the sequal movies did. It was emotional and powerful. Specially when she says i will not leave you and Vader says "then you will die". One of the best Star Wars moments, and it came from an animation. Just give the keys to everything to Feloni please. He can make Star Wars far bigger.

[@TCWRebelsResistanceWords]

The Ahsoka/Fulcrum reveal will ALWAYS be a moment close to my heart because it’s what got me into Rebels in the first place. When I first saw the Rebels series premiere with the prologue on the ABC Network (didn’t have Disney XD at the time) I was still extremely sore at Disney for canceling The Clone Wars on the Season 5 cliffhanger revolving around Ahsoka leaving the Jedi Order (season 7 wouldn’t be released until nearly 8 years later) and it just felt like my all time favorite character/hero was passed over for something else. I was extremely disappointed with Rebels at the start and so I just completely ignored it and wanted nothing to do with it. But the day after the season 1 finale when I saw on Twitter/X that Ahsoka had returned, I was completely overjoyed and decided to give the show a second chance. Next thing I knew, I fell in love with Rebels and the characters just as much as TCW and was “beating myself up” for “not sticking around long enough” to make it through to the end

[@DragonStar524]

One of my favorite moments was when the Paladins were testing Kanan. And the guy removes his mask to reveal the first Grand Inquisitor. I was like: WHAAAAATTTTT?????

[@GabrielThomas0927]

They said “we don’t know what happened to Ahsoka after the duel with Vader in season two” but at the end of the episode in season 2 it shows her walking away. Ezra was able to save her because she already survived the duel. Kanan died, a set point in time, that’s why he couldn’t save Kanan.

[@louisberry4403]

Great list. I would add Callus' Turn While with Zed to be on the list. Glad Vader Vs Ahsoka is Number 1. Just one of the best moments in Star Wars.

[@madelinegarber7860]

I find Sabine and Kanin not being in the top 3 or 4 disturbing. That was one of if not my favorite scenes in Rebels. Though the Kenobi Maul duel and Ahsoka and Vader fight absolutely deserved their spots. Ugh Kanin’s sacrifice was so so sad. And the music too. S4 made me cry more than once. Moments 4 and 5 included.

[@therabidmoose1618]

Maul's introduction, Rex and co's introduction, and the friendship between Zeb and Kallus were also some high points for me.

[@KillaD69]

Probably the best thing Star Wars during the Disney Era. Aside from the first season of Mandolorian

[@Binzob]

S7 clone wars, Andor. Hard to pick between the 3 though ngl

[@bennywark3103]

And Ahsoka

[@Gor85]

So many great moments😊 Ahsoka is Falcrum,Flight of Bwing,Ahoka vs Inquisitors is perfect. Obi-Wan 's and Maul's final duel is epic. Ahsoka vs Vader is extremely sad and tragic. Anakin comes through for a second. They went too so much together. True brother and sister. So nice we saw them in world between worlds😊Great video😊

[@nerd26373]

Star Wars sure is legendary. They have created a big impact on modern culture today.

[@Jeremiah_Rivers76]

For better or worse is your choice. Sure, the Prequel Trilogy is more appreciated, but in time, we’ll come to love the currently less-liked works.

[@jerrygil1965]

Yep

[@B1-268]

The Rebels epilogue makes me cry every time

[@russelljohnson6267]

"Nobody expects the imperial inquisition!" I laughed so hard at this monty python reference!😂

[@sockygaldamez9492]

This show had some epic moments and I’m glad they made on the list 😁 my favourite moment is definitely Ahsoka vs Vader I always get chills every time I watch it and I’m glad it’s number 1 👍👍👍

[@niobium79]

Chopper....that diabolical robotic chuckle, his potty mouth, the bot is an absolute lunatic....love him

[@seanpatrickcain2]

Darth Vader: The apprentice lives

[@skalessibbons7349]

My favourite Jedi's death scene is one of the emotional parts of Star Wars.

[@tylerpinniger9958]

I like the Sabine and kanan training scene

[@Snakdady]

Great list, but Kevin Kiner not getting a nod of appreciation is a crime! Especially during #1.

[@jedipath]

Kanan versus the temple guards is top 20.

[@micah4029]

Chopper as a character is one of the best "moments."

[@markkuijpers3818]

The list could use more Rex. Then again, that's pretty much a universal Star Wars truth in my opinion, so...

[@Tootswilligers]

My favorite moment is season 2 where Zeb and Callus are marooned together and become friends

[@jediclonekag13]

I had a really good feeling that the top 3 spots would go to the best lightsaber duels from this show.

[@mastercheif1173]

Putting Sabine vs Gar Saxon at 16 is straight up disrespectful

[@samthompson5699]

Kanan revealing himself as a Jedi

[@jacobdrolet4262]

Amazing video Rebecca from watch mojo or the best moments in Star Wars rebels,fantastic job. There something I like about Star Wars rebels and others things I don’t like about the Star Wars rebels show like the design of the lightsabers,yoda looks very uncanny valley vibes, somewhat being disrespectful to a legend character like Lando having Hera punching him then he have squirrel voice afterwards and many others too. But let all that it’s still one beautiful show ever to continue with the clone wars left and very gripping for start to finish masterpieces ever in Star Wars history too.

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

Ahsoka vs vader was by far the BEST

[@nikgokuhil]

It was the best, but Maul vs Obi wan was quite close behind for me

[@DT-ggh546]

16:18...."but, because *tv shows* don't want us to be happy" 🤷 -my sentiments exactly; too 😉/😞!!!

[@JC041174]

I personnely think that Kanan's death is the biggest gut punk in all of Star Wars so far.

[@ewok40k]

Thrawn reveal is the best moment, we have Cham Syndulla narrating news of new imperial commander superimposed with Thrawn himself presenting to imperial side, and Rebels having collective "oh shit!" moment (Karabast!) , as have countless viewers.

[@Casper-47819]

Ezra deafet Thrawn is My favorite moment

[@BozQ]

Pretty much got everything. It's such a good series.

[@MadameMeowth]

That B-wing episode made me mad because my B-Wing in "X-Wing Fighter" didn't have that weapon.

[@zackinwald9581]

I’m sorry, but Ahsoka being revealed as fulcrum deserves to be higher especially since the clone wars was at the time on hold 💯

[@Thijs_Claessen12]

Best animation show for me!

[@Bedardo12]

Accompanying #1 somewhere in this list should be the "The apprentice lives...." moment from Vader

[@CloneScavengerVulpin8389]

The episode where rex, kanan, and ezra battle and later team up with a separatist remnant is great.I hope the bad batch season 3 and andor season 2 will show more of the remnants of the C.I.S..

@@justsomeguy9073 there are better epic moments, like the ones I said before. For kanan and ezra I cried. When ashoka was dead I didn't care very much. And then she wasn't even dead. Kanan has to stay dead, but for ashoka we can stretch the rules and save her. Writers could stretch for kanan too, it's not like there was a law that said that kanan couldn't be saved. I mean, it's a fantasy, why did they can save both? There wouldn't be the worst nonsense we saw in star wars saga. But ashoka is the teacher pet, or filoni pet to be more precised
