I thought this was a really good quick synopsis of the 4 seasons, however, I think the only thing missing was the Bendu and his influence and should have been squeezed into it.

Agreed but the chances of the Bendu showing or being relevant in the Ahsoka series are slim which is probably behind the omission.

@@jcraig1701He was relevant to Ahsoka before it was even made lol. The first time Thrawn Ambushed the Rebels On Atollon, Bendu was the only reason they were able to escape the planet, which resulted in Ezra being able to bring Reinforcements which was bringing Sabine back into the picture. Because she was off helping her family, to save her father from The Empire. Not to mention Bendu’s quote to Thrawn, after thrawn asks “What do you see?” Bendu then predicts Thrawns future saying “I see you losing, with many arms around you like a warm embrace.” And tried to shoot Bendu, but he disappeared before he could. So Thrawn will probably be thinking of his Last moments On Lothal & Bendu’s quote quite often. Considering it came true probably pretty important to Thrawns story.

@vilesaga419 I didn't mean relevant to Ahsoka's character. I meant to the series at least for now. They're already throwing a lot of lore at folks who aren't familiar with Rebels. Something like the Bendu would best be saved for a season 2 or even 3 once Ezra is back in the picture.

Best thing about Rebels is how they worked in the old original Ralph Mcquarrie artwork .. it's genius how Chopper is an earlier Astro-Mech & the original Chewie design ends up being Zeb .. the evolution of the Clones to Stormtroopers using the old artwork too etc. .. Genius !

Though I think Rebels has very little that can be skipped, it's interesting to think about the most important episodes -- or in the case of this video, to summarize the events of the series -- conveying all the major points with minimal confusion. Nicely done, Alex!

I'm currently rewatching Rebels and this is how it feels. It all happens so much faster than it felt during the first watch through

Rebels is an amazing example of what Dave Filoni can do with clear parameters regarding a start and a finish. He ties such a nice bow on the show’s ending. I expect more greatness with the Ahsoka show in a few days. 🤩

Wow! Now I have to watch Rebels! Thanks for the recap, and thanks too, Alex for filtering in so much of your wit!

I did it! Just wrapped up my ill-advised, 2 weeks before Ahsoka re-watch... with one hour to go. Still wiping away tears. This was my third time and it still hits hard, maybe even more with each one. Amazing to finally have new chapters for these characters.

This was gr8! I’d forgotten a LOT! Very helpful. To me, you should mention the jump in time for Ezra & Sabine getting older / wiser. But this was good, as it’s hard to summarize 4 seasons. I need someone to do a short concise one like this for Clone Wars!

These videos have been so helpful in the leadup to Ahsoka. I've been forwarding them to my brother because he's never seen Rebels and truth be told, I needed the refreshers too!

Thanks for this, there were a couple of story points I forgot about. Can't wait - almost there!

Karrabast! What a good recap 👍

This is going to be great for my family, which got distracted before we finished watching the Ashoka machete-order Clone Wars and Rebels playlist. I don't know if something like this could be done for The Clone Wars, but it would be great to have.

Awesome breakdown of the series! Thanks!

GREAT refresher! Great work, as always.

Amazing. Thank you. Loved Rebels

Thank you for taking the time to honor the writers.

My parents did not watch any of the animated shows but know how excited I was for Ahsoka and wanted to watch it with me. My dad asked “if i spend 20 minutes of my life, and only 20 minutes, learning the backstory for this show, what do you suggest?” I sent him and my mother this + the Ahsoka backstory in 8 minutes video. They were perfect, thank you.

Thanks for this refresher. I watched them all on TV and again on Disney+ during Lock Down, but it's been 3 years.

I have watched every episode of rebels several times was interested on how you put it all into 10 minutes. Solid job!

Somewhat excited for Ahsoka, but still can’t believe how bad the Hera live action version is. I’ve literally seen better Hera cosplay’s at Celebration.

I know I’m stating the obvious but Ahsoka is essentially Rebels season 5. Everyone is doing rewatches of Rebels and not Clone Wars and Ahsoka is hardly in Rebels. I know why but is still interesting. Can’t wait!!

Thank you for recapping this cause I was never going to watch this show.....

I feel like I'm the only one who actually prefers the more extreme, hardcore methods used by Saw Gerrera and his Partisans, really tapping into that Viet Cong methodology that inspired the Rebellion in the first place. And Saw is right. You can't play by the rules because the rules of engagement were set up by the Empire to begin with. I've never been a fan of the "using violence against the oppressor makes you just as bad" trope...

Excellent video but I'm still not going to be able to get anyone to watch a cartoon. But it really is a great info dump. Thanks

Great show. Admittedly, it took me some time to warm up to it. When I did watch it I did so in very small doses (1-2 episodes at a time). The main reason being the look of the show but character/story-wise it wasn't grabbing me. Eventually I just jumped to season 4 to watch the show's closing episodes. I landed on "World Between Worlds". 😮All I can say is I was so impressed I didn't even finish the episode. In that moment I decided to give it another chance, so I went back and started from the beginning. Overall, enjoyed it. It's not my favorite piece of Star Wars lore but I have no problem placing it above some of the other more popular titles. With all that said, I find myself not that excited for "Ahsoka". I'll just say it has to do with casting and leave it at that. I'll still give it a watch and hope that I'm proved wrong. 🤞As long as we get a great story, to me, that's what matters most.

without the WGA writers star wars wouldn't suck
