@fofonablus7104 How? Sorry that this will come off as aggressive, but while Gold tries to explain it, it's clearly to keep that crowd happy, as he contradicts himself at 23:28 admitting the Jedi are selfless. It can't be both. Things that happen between Ezra and Kanan such as a close master apprentice relationship and working through emotions are common place. Just because Obi wan struggled to doesn't mean it never happened. In CW, a hand full of people perceive the Jedi negatively at the start of an episode, the Jedi pretend to not have an answer, and they just never explain or conclude that issue. It's no deeper than Obi wan's random complaints about politicians. And this is a recurring problem in CW's "themes". Plus, it ignores other *canon* lore like the existence of the Med Corps, the Agri Corps, the Exploration Corps, and Edu Corps which the Jedi established to heal impoverished systems. As well as disregarding Lucas's intent -- and no, Lucas helping with CW doesn't justify a retcon. He changes his mind all the time, and usually for the worst-- disregarding Lucas's intent for the Jedi's purpose and existence. And interpretating the CW portrayal as corruption is a stretch (unless our definitions are different). Making the jedi slothy old men ends up adding nothing and teaching nothing, besides paying lip service to real world western criticism of specifically western religions, which the jedi are NOTHING like* .

Honestly yeah. I remember thinking that Ezra and Kanan embodied what the Jedi should’ve been. They both succeeded not because of how powerful they were with the force or as duelists. No, they lost on those fronts, and rightfully so. It was how deeply connected they were to the force and their emotions, Kanan’s love for Hera and the Ghost Crew and Ezra’s love for them along with Lothal is what saved the planet and defeated Thrawn. They respected the Force and it was their ally to the end.

@@othervids3726Ezra's and Kanan's closeness is good, and was common place among the Jedi. We only get glimpses and inferences in the movies bcoz Lucas had other priorities, but in works by those that loved *and understood* Lucas's story, we will see that they have connection with other Jedi. The Jedi Order was just as much a community as it was a disciplined way of life. (As a matter of fact, if we compare jedi to real religions as much as we do, we may as well be honest about the community aspect). To give only two examples, the bond between master and student or between peers -- the latter we see little of besides in CW (ironic, sense CW writers also reimagine the Jedi in some aspects for their own messages) --.

To answer your question from the chatooine show how does Ahsoka “show she’s not a Jedi?” In Episode 1 I believe Ahsoka told nuyang that she retrieved the star map from the night sister by using tactics a Jedi “normally wouldn’t do” or whatever she said. I don’t know the quote exactly but it was close to or very similar to that.

The production story of Rebels is far more inspiring to me than The Clone Wars. Disney gave Dave and the team way more restrictions, it had a smaller budget, it had to be catered to a younger audience, it had to fit the "Disney" brand.

One of my favorite Rebels quote is from Rex when he’s talking to Ezra about Anakin and the Clone Wars, “a great Jedi once told me. The best leaders lead by example.

After watching the Ahsoka series, it makes me want to watch Star Wars Rebels. I mean, I’ve only seen clips of that show, and I do like the characters from Rebels in other Star Wars media like Disney Infinity and the Bad Batch, but if Rebels is deep as Clone Wars and Ahsoka, I should totally watch it. Heck, maybe I should also watch Resistance if I was wrong about that and Rebels. Also: Feloni, buddy, I get that you wanted to show that Ezra and Sabine can have moments that aren’t romantic, but um… showing a scene where Sabine gives Ezra a holographic image of his dead parents on his birthday, a scene where Ezra conversely comforts Sabine about her family issues, a scene where Ezra and Sabine look eye to eye before he sacrifices himself, two scenes where Ezra sends a holographic message to Sabine where he talks passionately to her, and a scene where Sabine touches Ezra’s face in a mural… doesn’t scream platonic. I’m sorry, but if you’re gonna show romantic scenes, you have to at-least admit it.

As soon as Hera said, "If all you do is fight for your own life, then your life is worth nothing," I was hooked. I think this show has the power and courage to inspire others to strive to be more selfless and courageous. I love this show so deeply, it's hard to find the words, but you did an amazing job explaining the major story beats and how impactful each of them were to the story. P.S.

This is such an amazing analysis. I followed this show obsessively as it was airing, even if I was complaining about, like, half of it. (Ezra abandoning the dark side after 3 episodes in season 3 bothered me. Also, I felt Zeb completes his character arc in Legends of the Lasat and just spun his wheels for the rest of the show). But I'd actually never considered the idea that Yoda sent them to Malachor TO show Ezra the dangers of seeking conflict; to DETER him from trying to defeat the Sith. As a Middle Schooler, I just thought they dropped the ball on that plot point. But that makes sense. This was fantastic to watch and surprisingly nostalgic.

Once little tiny correction: I'm pretty sure that, in the aftermath of Kanan's death, when Hera says "I wish I told him sooner", I don't think she was referring to telling him she loved him. At least how I interpreted it, she wished she told Kanan she was *pregnant* sooner. Not only is it incredibly obvious that they both have feelings for eachother (especially during Season 4, but even far earlier than that), but I also swear I remember them saying "I love you" to eachother prior to Jedi Night. Because of that, I think its more likely Hera wanted to tell Kanan she was pregnant, which we as the viewer don't find out until the final scenes of the show.

Your channel is one of if not my favorite Star Wars channels. Great video my man! I came to Rebels late, like 2020 during covid lockdowns. I ended up binge watching the entire series. I completely fell in love with the series and characters. Thanks for doing another video on one of my favorite shows.

As frustrated as i was with the clone wars getting canceled, i still gave rebels a chance. And grew to love it. Funny enough a good friend of mine on the other hand, refused to watch rebels. Even after numerous chances of trying to convince him to give it a shot, he wouldn't budge. I then asked him, if clone wars wasn't canceled and finished its original run, would he have been open to give rebels a chance? He said yes. Years later clone wars came back, got its proper ending, and my friend started binging rebels immediately after.

Just finished my 3rd rewatch of Rebels With my boo. This video was strangely right on time lol Kanan's death scene is easily the biggest punch to my heart than any other death in SW. I've cried for all 3 times i've watched it, and my gf was no exception. We we're balling. Any time I even watch "highlights" I get alittle choked up. Can't help it. Clone Wars season 7 is still some of my favorite Star Wars in recent years, but Rebels is a very close second. Thank you for the great vid once again!

I’m really loving your videos, man you made a subscriber out of me. I was one of those people that when I heard about rebels, I saw the previews for it and thought it was just a little kid show and even thought that it probably doesn’t even tie into the main story. It’s just one story out there for kids. It’s the way I thought of it. I wasn’t upset that it was happening or anything like that. I just thought “oh cool they’re making a show for the kids.” Boy was I wrong. It’s currently 2024 and we have gotten a handful of live action. Star Wars shows that I’ve liked all for the most part some more than others but I’ll say this. Star Wars rebels turned into my favorite Star Wars TV series even above the live action stuff. And I absolutely love the clone wars, I am a huge fan of Andor. I think that’s the best live show and I love the Mandalorian Obi-Wan Kenobi, I liked, but there was a lot of stuff that I didn’t like but overall I liked it, but I really love Star Wars rentals to me. It’s the one that feels more like Star Wars than anything else.

Wonderful tribute to the series. I was old enough to know what Clone Wars was, but I wasn't into Star Wars at the time. By the time I got into SW, I just had Rebels, and it was the critical part that kept me hooked on the fandom. The Ghost Crew holds a special place in my heart, as the group I grew up watching. So many great episodes, but I love that you gave some focus on the episode after Kanan's death. It really gives us time to process and grieve a character we've grown so close to, like no other death in SW. Also, glad you gave Artorr's vid a shoutout as well. You and him put out great SW content

I love Clone Wars; its defenitly my favourite piece of Star Wars media. But I adored and still adore Rebels and it will always have a special place in my heart.

I love both so much, I just like rebels a little bit more

One thing you forgot to mention is that Sabine vs Gar Saxon ends with a mirror image of how Anakin vs Dooku ended with Sabine catching the Darksaber and almost killing Gar, Gar even tells Sabine to kill him just like how Palpatine told Anakin to Kill Dooku. The biggest difference is that while Anakin gave in and killed Dooku, Sabine sparred Gar only for her mother to kill him, kinda like that if Anakin didn’t kill Dooku then Palpatine was going to kill him himself

I've spent my whole day watching your videos and you deserve so much more attention!! you put so much effort and quality into your videos and it’s very visible

This was my childhood Star Wars show. I spent years watching these characters grow. And it still holds up all these years later and my love for it seems like it's finally coming full circle with Ahsoka.

I recently watched Rebels and I'm a very new star wars fan (this year) and I was blown away. It's fantastic.

Star Wars Rebels has been my favorite Star Wars show ever, with Kanan and Ezra being one of my favorite pairs of Jedi. The impact of the show is so heavy, but I never truly understood it. After watching this fantastic video, I understand now. Thank you so, so much for making this video and sharing your insights on this series. It has made me love this even more!

Finally some love for the show I grew up with! This show is peak star wars in my eyes.

I went from hating Rebels to loving it just in 1 season. At the time my family was falling apart and I was starting college. I felt so connected to Ezra finding this new family of Rebels. The show has so much heart. It’s such a wholesome show and I still rewatch it for the vibes. All the characters are good, it’s my favorite Star Wars content. Im so grateful we have Filoni making shows and movies now.

Everyone I ask is always like “Clone Wars is my favorite Star Wars show.” And some people don’t even know Star Wars Rebels exists, but it was my introduction to Star Wars. I am a huge Star Wars fan, because of Rebels. It will always be my favorite show. Thank you for making this wonderful video.

I was one of those guys who thought Rebels looked like a crappy replacement for Clone Wars. It wasn't until after Ahsoka was announced that I went through the show. I'm glad I did, because despite the flaws the show's actually pretty good.

This show has really grown on me throughout the years, it really is a spiritual successor to the clone wars. While clone wars is my favorite Star Wars, this show really adds a lot to the canon.

Fantastic summary and review. You covered every important plot point. Rebels is that type of show that as time goes on, you just love it more and more

What a great show, people always need to compare it to The Clone Wars and I get that, but after seeing it it's impossible not to understand how different (in a good way) they are. I feel like the people who grew up watching Rebels have a much better understanding of the show and they will have a much more love for it as they grow older, the same that happened to us who grew up with TCW. It's so great to be able to watch someone dedicating an hour long video to praise a good (not perfect by any means) Star Wars show. Rebels is fun and in the last seasons, pretty emotional and I like it a lot. Great video as always man!

it is a kids show and it is really good, both can be true!

Animation is not the same as what I grew up on. I was Looney Toons and Tex Avery cartoons. I watched but wasn't a fan of the Hanna Barbera. G-Force was the only entry of Japanese anime. When cartoons started getting video gamey looking, I was well past showing interest. But I dove into Mandalorian and Boba Fett and well, reaction videos on KZread. I learned many folks grew up on Clone Wars and express how great it was. I figured, I'd make it a mission to give it a whirl before the Obi-Wan Kenobi series aired. So I started the Clone Wars. The thumbnail image of Rebels made me turn away from it at first. It looked very kiddish. Same with Resistance. However, by the time I got to Season 2 of Clone Wars, I decided to throw in a Rebels episode here and there. To my surprise, I got hooked on Rebels and dove completely into the show as I suspended my Clone Wars viewing. By the time Obi-wan Kenobi aired, I was done with Rebels and probably midway through Clone Wars Season 5. Of course, picking up the show with Maul, the Emperor, then Ahoska's trial, then Season 6, the final arcs in Clone Wars went by pretty quick. And they filled in the week long wait for the next Kenobi episodes. Anyway, yes. Rebels is a top notch creation.

Star Wars fandom is just a constant cycle of 'i don't like the New Thing, and i don't understand why all the kids these days are into it' followed by 5 years of the 'kids these days' liking it, and eventually those kids these days grow up, only to have the new star wars thing annoy them and the cycle continues.

Rebels was the first show I watched from (almost) the day it started to the day it ended. It is as well my favorite Star Wars show. Story telling, characters, voice acting performances, lore building and so much more works so well in this series. I just rewatched it this year and was quite surprised at how good the first season already was, as I don't remember liking it that much. And it just gets better from there on. All season finales in general are amazing. While Twillight Apprentice might be the best, because of the emotional baggage, Zero Hour is easily my favorite since Thrawn is my favorite character of all time and seing him wreck the rebel fleet was glorious. The battle of Atollon is definately underrated. I'm so happy to see the story finally continued in Ahsoka and am excited to see where this will lead us. Great video, basically agree with all of your points.
