Or he thinks its something he can use against her. But what he doesn't know is that Anakin already reached out to Ahsoka so that she can get passed her fears and regrets.

"he was a good Master" finally coming to terms with what happened to her friend and Master and letting go of her fear of following him down the Dark path and it forever dominating her Destiny.

I love Ezra's casting. Also, he is a different actor than the one who played live-action Aladdin. I always thought that since the Nightsisters use the Dark Side for their magick, they knew she would use the Force. So, they were able to pinpoint where she was. I think it was meant to be them honing in on her use of the Force. The Dark Side does it a lot. That's also how a lot of the Inquisitors found Jedi in hiding. They were fine until they used the Force.

I have no problems with the dialogue of adult Sabine and Ezra being too "Disney" or "kiddish" -- I'm nearly 60 years old, and whenever my old high school buddies and I get together online to play games on Steam, we revert right back to the dynamic and speech patterns we had in high school. So it totally makes sense to me that they would talk to each other like they did 10 years ago (in universe).

@@matta2738 The Sabine criticism I understand. Not a huge fan of her character in this season

Btw it isnt the Alladin actor, he was the fan cast before and i think people didnt realise

The interaction between Ezra and Sabine was supposed to be off. Sabine left Ahsoka for dead, gave the bad guys what they needed to go to Peridea, allowed Thrawn to return to the main galaxy starting a whole new war. Plus they have (had) no way to go back unless Thrawn agrees to take them. It's supposed to be awkward cause Sabine feels guilty.

7:40 The fandom wanted the actor of Aladdin, Mena Massoud, to play Ezra. Instead the understudy for Aladdin, Eman Esfandi, plays Ezra now in Ahsoka.

Shin is confused because she was betrayed by Baylan. She was expecting to be part of what Baylan is seeking. She has been waiting for Baylan's plan to unfold. She knows he has no interest/respect for Thrawn and company. So when he tells her to take her place in the new empire, she is being cast aside by him. So she is..probably hurt and confused.

That senator that wanted Hera court martialed is the father of the main character in star wars resistance.

I dont know who said it but that person was wrong. Aladdin was played by Mena Massoud. Ezra is played by Eman Esfandi. Two completely different actors.

I think Sabine's awkwardness comes from knowing that she'll have to tell Ezra that while she appreciated his sacrifice, she nullified the defeat of Thrawn and gave him the way back... because she missed Ezra...

Sabine chose Ezra over her master, whom she still harbors unresolved issues. As Baylan unearthed, Sabine blamed Ahsoka's past abandonment for the lost of family, such that Sabine's own resolve to not leave Ezra behind, stems from acting in total contrast to Ahsoka's modus operandi. Hence, a complicated relationship. Ahsoka the white nows sees Sabine's pov of choosing life rather than fear the unknown risks of the future. Hope they mend fences after this reunion. These reactors seem to have reservations with the actress who plays Sabine. Sure, she isn't the strongest actor with questionable deliveries. Her lines written for her aren't great either, granted one can argue Shin's actor has done a lot more with limited dialogue. That said, i root for Sabine and the actress who plays her.

Ezra casting is PERFECTION.

That scene between Baylan and Shin was him letting her go. "Your ambition drives you in one direction, my path lies in another. One parting lesson Shin..." So unless she runs back to him next episode, they've already parted ways.

Sabine and Ezra's chemistry is perfect. Eman Esfandi is doing an incredible job portraying Ezra. The interaction with Shin where he suggests they be taken prisoner is just pure Ezra.

Shin has made some comments throughout the season, that she isn‘t on board working for the nightsisters. However Baylan … I think we all agree, that his character is clearly more complex than good or evil.

Ezras casting is one of the best in the show...ezra and young ahsoka is really good casting

In the Legends novels, Force users can learn to detect other Force users. This is probably what the Witches were doing. The fact that Ahsoka was actively using the Force to find Sabine helped pinpoint where she was. The novels also developed a technique where a Force user can actively suppress their Force presence, making them invisible to others. This technique I think is what Palpatine used to hide from the Jedi for so long.

IN a previous episode, it was said that this planet/area was a spacewhale graveyard, similar to an elephant graveyard, where they tend to go before they die; so I think that is what you were referring to about the ring of bones around the planet!

Yeah natasha really isnt great. Hope she gets better.

Thrawn actually knew Anakin after meeting him on a mission during the Clone Wars. Years later during the days of the Empire, Thrawn and Vader returned to the very same planet on a different mission and Thrawn essentially trolled Vader by hinting numerous times that he knew Vader and Anakin were the same person. If you ever want good reading material, the trilogy containing Thrawn, Thrawn: Alliances, and Thrawn Treason is fantastic

Absolutely my favorite part of acting was from Lars in this episode. it was so subtle while trying to keep his demeanor when he read that Anakin was Ahsoka's master. Remember he's been gone. He had figured out that Vader was Anakin but has no knowledge of anything else that's happened. He most likely quickly thought 3 things. 1. Is it possible that Vader turned back? 2. Is there another starship, because if there is, Anakin is a level of shenanigans basically he might not be able to prepare for. And 3. Even if it's just Ahsoka, being taught by Anakin means she has Anakins teachings and strategy if it can be called that. With 1 revelation Thrawn quickly went from "We got em," to "We need to get the fuck out of here asap and we need to start wasting their time to do so."

Ezra is played by Eman Esfandi, live action Aladdin was played by Mena Massoud

That senator that wanted to court marshal Hera must be imperial, especially ignoring they caught an entire scrap yard full of them and followed a tracker to that system they put on an escaping ship.

The Hera story arc is also setting up Leia's break with the New Republic. Besides giving us Asokha being awesome, Filoni's most important task in this series is seeing up the sequel trilogy plottline with some retcons and explanations

Yeah my interpretation of the night sisters bit is that they sensed ahsoka reaching out to sabine and channeled that into those objects so they could find her location. Like ahsoka was just sending out a big force signal that they intercepted with their night sister witchyness

This show is supposed to weave rebels and clone wars together while also setting up Filoni’s movie so I wouldn’t be surprised if the ending is just a spring board to the movie

Re Ezra and Sabine meeting... it captures that awkward surreal thing that often happens when you run into someone (like from school) that you haven't seen in ages... it's kind of perfect.

I would absolutely love to see a live action Ventress, but even if it’s a super quick ten second flashback.

Omg if shin became like a ventriss style character who ends up constantly straddling whats good and evil that would be cool

Btw, that is not the actor who played live action Aladdin, people assumed that's who it would be.

The rings are like an elephant's grave yard. They come when it's time to die.

Shin slaughtered a starship full of people in the first episode without hesitation or confusion, she's darkside

to me Ashoka's whole mood ha changed since her time in the wbw. It's like she has forgiven herself for "abandoning" Anakin. and now she smiles and cracks jokes and seems more at ease and confident.

Ahsoka turning to the dark side is what Star Wars needs. It’s always been evil turning good - when have we seen an established character turn to the dark side as hard as Vader? We already knew anakin was going to turn when episode 3 came out but what about experiencing an episode 3 level twist for the first time?

When Ezra left he was a teenager and I got the feeling that Sabine was a few years older than he. 10ish years later and he's a man. Sabine has always loved Ezra like a brother, but now it's different. Ezra has always crushed on her, so there's sparks and Sabine doesnt know what to think.

Shin actually a pretty darn good character. U don't always have to say a lot to be a good character, sometimes your actions and mannerisms can carry a character. And the actress playing her is doin great with that.

Jem I miss you saying Holden Thomas Hartman😂😂😂 I love it when that happens.

"Space Alabama" got me 😂

Ngl, glad to see a bit of the "Holden Thomas Hardman!" come back to these star wars reactions 😅

Ezra and Sabine's "awkwardness" is spot on, in my opinion. The actors are playing it that way on purpose. The old holo-message she had from him (in which he *seemed* to "friend-zone" her) was him trying not to burden her with the fact that he still had feelings for her. Besides, he couldn't really friend-zone her when she was the one who already friend-zoned him first. (Her smirk while watching that message indicates to us that she knows perfectly well that he doesn't really mean "sister-to-me.") Now, he's been away for 9 years and has had a lot of time to put that possibility behind him; but Sabine has obviously developed feelings for him. Period. (No rocket science needed.)

Even though you may have your opinions on the casting and personalities of Ezra and Sabine, but I love that these actors are staying true to the characters from the animated shows and they nailed their mannerisms. Ezra has his sense of humour and Sabine makes sarcastic remarks at what Ezra does.

I think Ezra was played pretty well, he’s just a prime example of bringing an animated character to live action, the lines don’t always land cause they seem more animated for lack of better terms, I think it’s gotten better with every scene he’s been in

Mena Massoud played Aladdin in the live action version with Will Smith. That's a completely different actor. Ezra is played by Eman Esfandi.

Fun fact, the mon calamari on the council in the beginning is actually Admiral Ackbar

NOT Aladdin... that actor Mena Massoud WAS considered for the role of Ezra, but Eman Esfandi ended up being cast!

The dog watching 🤣

Weirdly enough, I don't feel like Ezra feels "kidish". To me he actually felt more mature than he was in Rebels. He seems like he's more at peace with both himself, and his past. Rebels Ezra always felt like he had some angst because of his parents and his relationship with Kanan especially early on. Now he feels like he's resolved that, and is beginning his journey into exploring deeper connections to the force.

(Which is quite true in his case) Maybe arrested development coupled with not aging up a characters personality and poor dialogue for sabine leaves us with something only real rebels fans will see past.

I really like how Thrawn is afraid of Anakin. He studied him in Clone Wars and knows how utterly unpredictable, crazy yet successful his battle plans where in the War with the Separatists. I'm not sure if he knows that he became Darth Vader, some people in the comments say he does. 12:57 Dawson sounds very much like Eckstein in that moment.

I think it's a coincidence - the nightsisters would have found Ahsoka in any case but Ahsoka actively using the force made it easier and quicker.

Fun Fact: Mena Massoud (who played live-action Aladdin) was rumored to be casted as Ezra. Eman Esfandi is doing great so far, but I would have loved to have seen Massoud.

I see what you meant about Shin hesitating over Ahsoka's offer, but I actually read that interaction completely the opposite way-that she hesitated because she so desperately wanted to win the fight right then, but ultimately fled because she heeded Baylan's advice about impatience for victory.

The bones that make up the ring around the planet are from old, dying purrgil. Just like when elephants travel to a specific site to pass away. Holden mentioned it like the elephant graveyard in 'Lion King' 😊👍

ezra is perfect hands down. all we need is a saber battle with him and hes complete

In the last episode, they explained that this planet was where the Star whales were coming to die. So the planet is legitimately an elephant graveyard.

Ezra and Sabine against Shin had a callback to Anakin and Obi-Wan vs. Dooku in Attack of the Clones when she told him to "Take her, now" and was sent flying.

I can't believe yall missed that part in the last episode about the whale graveyard, it was like a big thing lol I love yall, but sometimes...lol😂

"Ezra with his 'Wouldn't you take us as Prisioners? Prisioners?' was little ugh" Ezra made ONE joke that actually saved them some time for Ahsoka to arrive and Help and he hasn't mature? Bro, he is like 29 not 70 he can still be fun, plus he has mature, Eman shows that well on how Ezra kept insisting Sabine for answers giving her a "Gurl Pls what you hiding ;)" look when she didn't say anything, he also is very in control and chill and has grown with his connection to the force fighting with no Lightsaber and still showing his compasión and connection to living creatures on how he had helped the little hermit Crab people.

Not the same actor as live action Aladdin. Ezra is played by Eman Esfandi. The actor who played live action Aladdin was Mena Massoud.

That actually isn't the dude that played Aladdin, but I think the original choice for Ezra was that guy.

"hes from space Alabama." 😅

Senator Xiono acts like most of our government does today. xD

Seems like they didnt pay attention during the last part of episode 6. Ashoka had that white outfit when she was using the force on the whales and it also explained that the whales migrated to that planet to die. They showed the bones last episode.

Everyone watched it for the first time Holden

I feel theyre trying to make Shin into the next Ventress type character.

Ezra’s fantastic, but then he’s one of my favourite characters! So I’m biased 🫡

I feel like Shin is gonna try to get back on the Ship and Thrawn is gonna be like, "Did you kill Ahsoka, Ezra, and Sabine? No? Then...Nope!" And when she realizes she's going to be stranded, shes going to lose... her... shit. And go total Dark Side. And she'll be outnumbered, so either the dead troopers or the Night Sisters will try to kill her. She'll get away, but she'll be a Dark Side mess.

The fact that Shin and Baylon are the most intriguing characters despite having little to work with in the story is all down to the performances of Ray Stevenson and Ivanna Sakhno - their chemistry together and ability to look like the most interesting thing on screen is hard to ignore

I think people misinterpret what exactly happened to ahsoka when Anakin came to her. Yes she came out of it with a new positive outlook. She has had that before. When she got back into the fight with the rebels. What did Anakin tell her. "I'm here to finish your training". She said she was too old. He said she was never too old to learn. She thought she was too old to become a jedi now. But what anakin did was finish her jedi training. This was her trials completed. Her finial jedi trial was to understand her legacy isn't to fall like he did. She is now a jedi knight in full
