First, I just have to say that the Ahsoka teaser trailer is out, and you ABOSULTELY should wait until you finish Rebels to watch it. I highly doubt that there will be any disagreement this time.

DieWinterkirsche

Jess, I was wondering how you´ll handle the Ashoka-Series? In my opinion you should wait until you´re done with Rebels, because, as River Song says, "Spoilers!" :D

Jenny Chalek

Thank you for sharing about your struggles with anxiety. I can totally relate. I am bipolar and have OCD (which is an anxiety disorder in and of itself), so yeah, you really do have to train your mind to deal with it. Glad you have a better handle on things now.

Jenny Chalek

And yes, Ahsoka will have spoilers, but I would hate for you to not be able to watch it. I'm so torn.

Chopper definitely says 'The fuck is that?' when he sees the tracker! Always a joy wondering what the hell he is saying! :D Ezra showing his honesty after berating Tseebo about his parents and that he had to drop hope of them surviving, so that he could fend for himself. I like when Kanan walks in and Sabine is about to prod Ezra further, that Kanan just subtly raises his hand to tell her not just now. Kanan also is beginning to understand Ezra, that he learns best when there is something on the line. Its not ideal training, but they can't exactly take their time with his training either, constantly being on the run from the GI. Lovely moment as Ezra unburdens himself and forgives Tseebo. He starts to show some serious latent force power as he is able to control the beasties and calls out his apology over lightyears. That stormtrooper commander is so proud of himself, sucking up to the GI : 'They're here alright!' :) Kanan still outmatched in battle against the GI, and he tries to be a bit of a scoundrel in doing a General Grevious trick in blocking but using another hand to grab his gun and shoot. The GI reads it though and takes him out. Jason Isaacs is so good as the GI riling up Ezra, using his fear and anger to prod him into dabbling with the darkside. Ezra shows some serious power in getting that giant beastie to go after the GI, but its overwhelming his first taste of the darkside, and his feeling of 'coldness' in using it. It does save him and Kanan, but its a worrying sign that he is uncontrolled and Kanan apologises for not strengthening his spirit first before training his new powers. Both of these are learning this together. I can't help but have tears in my eyes when Sabine gives Ezra the holodisc of him and his parents, and for the first time in the show, calls him by his name instead of 'kid'. It shows that whatever they'll go through, they'll always have each other's back. Moving into episode 10, and you can see that though Kanan is the leader of the crew, his self-doubt about training Ezra is only heightened by what happend on the asteroid, and shows how much of a rock Hera is to him by telling him she knows that he will be able to help Ezra. Hera is the best!! And yes Jess you called it, this episode is Ezra's (and Kanan's) version of the younglings going to Ilum to learn about themselves and get their kyber crystal. Love how there is a subtle hint with the force sound, that its not Kanan with Ezra inside the temple, but that he's having a vision that he must deal with; fear of losing his friends and found family, and then having all his self-doubts about himself being raised by what he thinks the rest of the crew may think about him too. I doubt Anakin took this test, thats for sure! When Ezra passes, hearing Yoda (and Frank Oz Yoda too!!) speak out to him, brings goosebumps, and the little yellow fairy lights were the ones we saw in Yoda's arc in TCW! Wonderful. Then Kanan gets some home truths he has to face from Yoda about his decision to teach Ezra. After everything he's been through, its understandable he doubts his abilities to train Ezra, because he thinks he's failed as a Jedi. Its back to the 'do or do not, there is no try' : Kanan and Ezra figured that out a few episodes back, but Kanan still doesn't trust himself, and must overcome this, if he is ever to come back to the Jedi. That Dr Who joke about Gallifrey - we'll come back to that in a bit. ;) The line about seeing how Kanan and the others help people makes Ezra feel alive, is EXACTLY what Jedi get out of their altruism. The best ones are totally selfless and will help others, even at the expense of themselves. This gives Jedi purpose in their lives, and why the attachment thing, is really a non-issue for almost all of them. Love Kanan stating he knows whats inside the temple : 'the past'. That was then, this is now, they and him have to move on from what happened, if they are to survive and become Jedi Knights. Every piece of Ezra's lightsabre is a donation from the crew, though I don't think Chopper knew he'd given away a power cell of his, judging by his retort! Great episode, one of the best eps of early Rebels. You will have to be extra wary of spoilers Jess, especially from the Youtube comments about this show and what happens to the characters and episodes. Its different to Clone Wars, because that show was a lot more focussed about arcs, so people would be saying "can't wait till Jess sees this!", but thats more forgiving, than what could be the eventual whole plot of this series when someone spells out what happens to members of our crew, since we are following them every episode.

Me neither, but its Jess prerogative; if she is fine with being spoiled but watching it, when it comes (in August I think), as she'll still be on Rebels by then. I haven't seen any trailers, as I like to keep fresh for when it airs, even if I have been keeping track on Reddit (until I got banned from the Star Wars sub-reddit yesterday! :D ).

First off, you are most welcome for the kindness and encouragement that I and everyone else has extended to you for your Rebels reactions thus far. Now onto the episodes. One could make an argument that these two episodes combined with the cliffhanger that was the last episode was a three-parter. It makes sense Ezra’s feelings with his parents, particularly when one considers he was seven when it happened. We've seen through Jango Fett being killed by Mace Windu the trauma that caused Boba seeing his dad killed that way. Of course, in my experience age doesn’t make any real notable difference when losing a parent. It's like Dorthey said in The Golden Girls when it was possible that she was going to lose her mom, Sophia, “When you lose a parent, you might as well be six.” It is therefore good to see Ezra forgive Tseebo. I got a laugh over your reaction during the 2001 sequence where they go to plaid, specifically how you weren’t too fond of all the spinning, leading me to quip, “But Jess, spinning’s a good trick.” Lovely how they have the theme of admitting the fear. It’s like in Prisoner of Azkaban when Harry admits he’s scared due to the business with the dementors, and Professor Lupin replies, “Well, I'd consider you a fool if you weren’t.” Jason Issacs continues to be most impressive as the Grand Inquisitor. The second episode of this reaction was emotional. Hearing Frank Oz once again as the voice of Yoda got me right in the heart, as did hearing Yoda’s Theme by John Williams. And, yes, as you noted, a most lovely presentation of Binary Sunset. A big highlight thus far, as you observed, is how Kanan and Ezra are both learning and growing. As you note, you hope it goes better than Anakin and Obi-Wan, though seeing as we don’t have Old Palpy pouring a continuous stream of poisoned honeys into either of their minds, hearts, and souls, I'd say they have a good chance of avoiding that tragedy. I loved this reaction. Thank you so much. To talk about your sharing your dealings with anxiety, I relate. I've had my own dealings with anxiety, Asperger’s, ADD, mild OCD, and depression. I was medicated from around third grade to my early twenties. It's been eleven years now being off medications. I'm still not 100% better, I likely never will be, but I do have a better handle on things, most of the time anyway. Thus, I empathize and sympathize with your appreciation of the themes they explored. Makes me think I'd most likely become a Sith as I don’t think I could ever be a Jedi; the lure of the Dark Side would be too difficult to resist, and my brain being the mess that it is, it seems likely I'd fall if I were in the universe. Concerning the Rebels spoilers that you said you got, I confess I got guilt and anxiety from that even though I didn’t say anything about the precise spoilers in question. I even looked at my comments on that Mando reaction, saw I kept mum on that subject, and even then, I still felt guilty even though I hadn’t done anything. I’m not saying that to be self-congratulatory, I'm sharing my genuine feelings on the matter. I promise that I'll do my best to keep quiet, spoiler-wise. I may not be successful, but the effort will be made, Jess. I promise.

I'm torn as well. On the one hand, it’s going to be kind of a bummer not being able to share the show with Jess as it airs, if it’s not reacted to right away. On the other hand, it’ll be like the Obi-Wan show where the reactions were so much more rewarding precisely because Jess held off on reacting to it until she was all caught up. Either way it plays out, I'll be seeing the show as it airs, and if it’s a while until we see Jess react to it, I will accept it.

You know, I remember you said that Rebels gets you to say quite a bit about the episodes. Seeing your response here, you weren’t kidding. Of course, I remember my own prattling on about Revenge of the Sith, so I'm not one to talk. I can tell you give your comments a lot of thought, and I can see the passion you have for the show, it’s great. Yeah, that is a great moment when Sabine calls Ezra by his name. I always love that in stories. I kind of had a moment similar when seeing The Last of Us in that most of the first half of the show I kept calling Ellie “kid” rather than calling her by her name. At the point where she fully grew on me, I started calling her Ellie.

Haha yes Thomas, I do tend to blabber on a bit when it comes to this show! Its a force of habit; I've seen this show through so many times, so I like to pick up some of the subtler things this show does to convey the body language, or reasons our crew act and do the things they do. Its also because I first signed up to Patreon for another reactor who was into their Star Wars, but hadn't seen the animations, so along with Jess's channel, I would watch their TCW episodes on Youtube and found that they were way ahead of them on their Patreon, so signed up there when they started Rebels. And it turned out they responded to almost every comment when they could, so I would write a summation of the episodes and things they may not have picked up, and it usually ended up being a long diatribe each reaction! Then there would be a back and forth in conversation about it. :D I never tire of watching Rebels, there is just something about this show that speaks to me, and is why it is my favourite Star Wars thing outside of Empire Strikes Back. I suppose it just embodies everything that I think Lucas was going for, when he created this universe that many of us enjoy. Its a bit sad that a section of the so-called fanbase, write this show off (and to an extent Clone Wars), as they think its just for kids; when they forget that Star Wars was created for kids to learn life lessons and the heroes story. I see quite a lot are willing to watch it now with Ahsoka on the horizon though, even when she herself originally hails from one of these 'cartoons'! I know what you mean about when you switch up from calling a character 'kid' or something generic, to their own name, when they start to click with you; and this happens with Sabine here - she sees how much Ezra is in turmoil and dwelling on his issues, so by doing something nice for him, it shows she's beginning to care for him. Its a lovely moment. Speaking of The Last Of Us, I have seen it all now (and a solid adaptation it was), but not seen Jess's reactions to the last several eps. Not doing anything much tomorrow, so off to have a few whiskies and watch them now! See you all for Mando tomorrow, when I've sobered up! ;)

One of the great things about these Jedi trials, is that they force the padawan to look inwards at themselves; which is one of the lessons Lucas wanted the kids who watched, to learn about. There is a great quote later in the series, which I won't say now but is all about these retrospections. One of the reasons Anakin fails in his quest to be a Jedi, is he is too focussed on his own ego, to not look at his own failings; and that ends up splitting the galaxy in two, with a little help of course from your beloved old Palpy! :D I have my own anxiety issues too that I am aware of currently, that I need to work through, along with my severe procrastination. And I can reflect on what Ezra says, he's been through that before, he can come through it again; and I too have succeeded on everything I have set my mind on achieving; however whilst at this cross-roads just now, I know the right step, I know I have got through it before, but there is something that sits at the back of my mind - everyone's mind - and that I suppose is fear; fear to make the jump to move forward. Heck its partially why I can relate to Kanan and what happened with him, that what he was supposed to become never happened, in his case due to tragedy, and its holding him back now as a mentor. I suppose that the same with a lot of us. However understanding that, reflecting on it, and making a course of action to get past that, will push us on to become better people. Its all part of life's fleeting journey for us on this 'pale blue dot'.

Thomas Corp

Yes, it’s introspection, gaining self-awareness and overcoming one’s own personal demons and/or flaws that is a hallmark of the Jedi trials. It is great how Ezra has his epiphany in that he’s been alone before and survived, he can do so again, and that gives him strength. There does seem to be shared anxiety amongst all of us. Some of us have it worse than others. Like you say, it’s the first step of understanding that, facing that, and making the effort to get past it makes us grow. We see with Kanan and Ezra that they’ve taken their first steps, now the real work begins.

Thomas Corp
>>106124204

Yeah, I know what you mean. Stuff I've seen so many times, combined with the passion for it really does go a long way in making me chatter away about it. When it comes to Star Wars, my brother and I can carry on for days, sometimes weeks at a time. It’s been some time since I've rewatched Rebels, and what we’ve gotten to through the reactions that Jess has had, that already is making me weep for how amazing it is experiencing the show again and sharing it with Jess and everyone else here. Yes, many fans thumbed their noses at these shows for being cartoons for kids only. Then they flock to them because of upcoming shows starring a character who originated from said cartoons for kids only. “...It’s ironic.” Hope you enjoy the remaining reactions to The Last of Us.
