Star Wars: Rebels ( Search for Chopper )

Seeing Bendu again was cool

[epilogue]

Guys, tell me now before I watch...

Spoiler: show

doesThrawn die?

No. and that's one of the huge positives im taking out of it.

[epilogue]

Seeing Bendu again was cool

Oh shit, Bendu is back?! Love that. He's (it's? ) such a great character.

[dimejinky99]

Ehhhhh

The way he's used in this is one of its biggest problems

[jwfocker]

It's no spoiler really but they brought a really interesting element only or first seen in the EU and in the Thrawn books into this.

The interdictor ship. makes huge gravity wells that can pull ships out of hyperspace.
Which in reality would leave the crew of that ship as red stains on the wall and the ship in fragments but hey. It's a really fuckin cool idea.

Wait. What? The reality? None of these things make sense.

Ehhhhh

disagree.

Honestly, my biggest problem with the episode is really just

(this is an actual spoiler joey. dont read it until you've watched the episode.

Spoiler: show

The lack of a resolution in any way, shape or form. As Joey Pointed out awhile back, occasionally this show does too much of "rebels narrowly escape the empire!!!" that's really what this episode boiled down to which brought the whole thing down.

However,
I enjoyed the Bendu and how he was used. Im glad he wasn't a conquering hero of the light side. He was basically "get the fuck off my lawn"

Thrawn as a military genius guessing every possible move- with the exception of the unknowable- and his genuine surprise TO being caught off guard.

Ezra's growth continues to be a huge positive.

The sacrifice of Commander Sato was really well done.

Hera taking total charge of everything going on.

Hera dropping in a "love" on Kanan.

Those gravity ships to stop hyperspace were cool.

The fact that Thrawn survivied made me happy, but I do wish the Rebellion had lost a member of the A-Team (or Rex) just to feel like there were higher stakes.

No clue what that means.

Yeah I pretty much agree with Skitch there

I agree with most of your points skitch.
You made me realise I only have a few problems. I haven't watched it again. But. And it's a big but.
There's a lot wrong with this one as a finale. It's like kids with crayons let loose in a way.
Let's go into it more when we've all seen it.

I think its the exact opposite.

Spoiler: show

And the more I think about it, after typing my spoiler out, that I really like everything about the episode, with the exception that no one died. It took all the tension, creativity and high points kinda feel like "eh, so what" It just made it feel like there were no stakes. If the episode ended lamenting the death of Rex, or Zeb, or maybe even Kallus it would have been great.

It has one problem... but you're right... It's a big one.

I also really liked:

Spoiler: show

The brief Kanan Ezra discussion with Kanan saying he's shown him everything he knows about being a Jedi, and Ezra acknowledging that while pointing out there were other things he'll always be able to learn from Kanan. Probably the most human moment either of them have had throughout the entire series.

I can't agree with that.

Season finale.

Last thing you see Kanan say to Ezra is

Good luck kid.


Good luck kid
Not may the force be with you?

No. It fit the "family" element of it more than the formal rebellion well wish, or Jedi.

Kanan and Ezra are brothers, or father/son now. Their relationship transcends those other things. I also think that's why Hera said what she said.

It's telling that kanan bids farewell like that.
It's beyond telling that the little annoying bastard Ezra picks up on it and wishes himself that the force be with himself in kanans stead.

and with the awkward chat they had 'you're like my dad' bullshit,
Now we know kanan is gonna die.

What's up.

Just keep watching.

But what's up.
