I figure Kanan's on the chopping block....or the Inquisitor....however f they killed Ezra (highly unlikely) I would have to applaud their guts.

Well that was a very interesting episode.

Ahsoka confirmed as Fulcrum, and Vader coming in to replace the Inquisitor.

This is what everyone has been waiting for since the Clone Wars ended.

Ahsoka and her former Master in conflict with one another.

Now the question is does she know that Darth Vader is Anakin, and if not what will her reaction be?

How could she not know? Given the master-padawan bond, I would think she would sense her master's fall, even if the bond had lessened once she made master / knight (if she did. I'm not familier with the previous series canon).

She actually left the Jedi Order because the council failed to have her back when she needed it most.

Honestly, that decision likely saved her life....but it also made Anakin even more vulnerable to Palpatines influence.

First thought upon seeing her: "She's Alive!"

Second Thought: "She's no longer Jailbait!!"

Third Thought: ".....I'm going to hell for the second thought....."

Also, after a season of the Inquisitor kicking Kanans ass, he finally stepped up and took that smug prick apart. Honestly, that was an excellent use of his skill and available resources.

From an interview with Dave on Starwars.com

StarWars.com: I have a bit of a continuity challenge for you. In Return of the Jedi, Yoda tells Luke, “When gone am I, the last of the Jedi will you be.” But now he knows that Kanan and Ezra are out there. We obviously don’t know at this point what will happen to them, but is that something you’re aware of?

Dave Filoni: I don’t see it as a challenge at all. It’s what the Sith call an absolute. When Obi-Wan says to Luke, “Your father was the greatest starfighter pilot in the galaxy,” is that true? Or is that something you tell a kid because you want him to believe his father was great? It doesn’t have to be empirical or absolutely true. Saying Luke is “the last,” is that a singular thing, or is he the last of a group? I don’t know.

It definitely is something that comes up, and we discuss that moment all the time for what it could mean. It is possible to interpret it as, Luke is the last person that’s following the path as laid out by the Jedi Order, which we knew. The way of the Jedi is not the only way to use the light side of the Force. Luke is taught by Obi-Wan and Yoda, who very much followed the dogma of the day. So, he is the last of that line for sure. That’s absolutely true. But you don’t have to be a Jedi to use the Force. You don’t have to be a Sith to use the dark side.

StarWars.com: Like the Inquisitor.

Dave Filoni: Exactly. So, there’s definitely ways around it, but it’s definitely something that’s come up. It doesn’t mean we have to kill them, but it doesn’t mean that we won’t. We’ll have to see what makes sense.
Click to expand...
So maybe....just maybe...Kanan and Ezra don't have to die...but don't have to follow the dogma of the Jedi....Anakin Skywalker brings balance to the Force by engineering the downfall of the two dominate interpretations allowing new views to take hold that result in a more stable universe.....hmmm.....


They grow up so fast.....

Now that season 1 has ended, let us have a moment of silence.

Greg Weisman only stuck around for season 1. With this ep, his time is over.

Farewell Weisman.

Well... let's hope the showrunners can keep the quality of the show up.

Any idea what he's going to be working on next?

It's hush-hush at the moment but scuttlebutt is that he might be doing comic work. Maybe EU material for rebels.

StarWars.com: Does the Ghost crew know that Darth Vader exists? Have they heard of him?

Dave Filoni: That’s another thing you battle all the time. There’s a popular thought among fans that people all know who this guy is. Why would they? I don’t think people on Coruscant really care or know that Palpatine is a Sith Lord. A lot of them wouldn’t really know what that means. Many of them would say, “Well, the trains are running on time.” Everyone’s doing well. That’s in his favor.

Vader is a known person to some, but to very few, I think. He’s known of in whispers. The Imperials know about him, but a lot of them haven’t met him. He’s not military. He’s more the fanatical wing of the Empire. One reason I believe he’s not well known is the fact that if you encounter him, you usually don’t survive.

StarWars.com: When I was watching Vader in the last episode, I thought about how you really see a different version of him in each Star Wars movie. Do you have an idea of where Vader is at mentally during Rebels?

Dave Filoni: Oh, yeah. You have to. I’ve always believed that Vader has no repentant bone in his body until he realizes his son is alive. Luke is the opportunity that triggers everything that occurs. His awareness of Luke being alive forces him to remember his past in a way that’s uncomfortable for him. It forces him to remember Padmé. It forces him down a path of, “Maybe my son will join me, and together we can rule the galaxy.” Luke really has to get him past that thought, which kind of culminates in that scene on the bridge on Endor, when Vader says, “It’s too late for me.” That realization only happens because of Luke.

Up until that point, I think he’s a destroyer. He’s an incredibly angry, hate-filled destroyer. He hates himself. He hates what happened. He hates all his former friends because he thinks they betrayed him. Anakin Skywalker thinks that he never switched sides. He thinks he’s still fighting the good fight. He thinks Obi-Wan betrayed him. He thinks Padmé betrayed him and that led to her, and their child’s, death. He thinks the Jedi were staging a coup against the Republic. He thinks the Republic was weak, and that’s why it became corrupt and fell apart despite Palpatine’s attempts to save it. Overall, he internally hates himself for everything that occurred because he thinks that he wasn’t strong enough to make things right.

He’s consumed by these ideas and is pretty much trapped. He has no option aside from embracing his new persona — Darth Vader. What we encounter in Rebels now is just a wall of anger and hate — everything that the dark side manifests.

It’s interesting to look at how he might relate to Ahsoka now. She is a living memory of who he was. Even worse, she knew the good person he was.

StarWars.com: He doesn’t want a memory of that.

Dave Filoni: He doesn’t want to be reminded of this and, in a lot of ways, he probably thinks that whole relationship was a failure because she walked away.

StarWars.com: Do you think he’s, in a twisted way, angry at her now?

Dave Filoni: Yeah. I think in the way you indirectly get angry at people when you don’t agree with their decisions, or when you let someone walk away and later something bad happens. You think, “Where were you?” You would blame anyone but yourself.

StarWars.com: So, he would have no feeling upon seeing her of, “Oh, great, you’re alive.”

Dave Filoni: No, I don’t think he would think it’s great at all.

StarWars.com: He obviously cared for her very much.

Dave Filoni: Of course, but now she and Obi-Wan Kenobi are Public Enemy Number One and Two for him. It’s personal. It begs the question: What do they know about each other? What do they know about what happened?

...

StarWars.com: With Clone Wars ending the way it did, and Rebels moving to a new time period, did that give you any new opportunities or paths for Ahsoka that you’re now glad to have?

Dave Filoni: It didn’t, really. I’ve always had a long game plan for Ahsoka, personally having been really involved with creating her with George [Lucas]. I’ve gone through different iterations over the years where she didn’t survive the Clone Wars, and then I had character paths where she did. I’m constantly developing this character. I know where she is now. I know what her failings are and what will come to haunt her this year, which I think makes her really interesting.

The original plan for her four-part arc in The Clone Wars Season Five was to bring her back to the Jedi Order at the end. I said to George, “Well, that would be what we normally do. What if we keep her expelled and see where it goes?” Luckily, he agreed.

I think the big question is, where does she go from here?

StarWars.com: Will we ever see what happened with her between Clone Wars and Rebels?

Dave Filoni: Maybe. I know what happens up to the end of Clone Wars, and I have ideas about what happens after that. If we have a good enough story, we’ll tell it. I think there is a good story about how she becomes Fulcrum.

StarWars.com: Is there anything you want to say about Season Two?

Dave Filoni: It’s better. The stakes are higher and the action’s better. We’ve been able to get the story into some very good, exciting, fun places while still maintaining a bit of intensity. If Season One represents A New Hope, Season Two is very much inspired by Empire Strikes Back.

As much as I enjoyed seeing some old favorites like Hondo and Rex.....Vader's scenes were the best....and most menacing.

Is wrong that I want Vader to kill the rebels, seduce Ashoka and find Luke and conquer the galaxy as father and son?

Yes. Yes it is, but it's the good kind of wrong that will never be realized.

There's always fanfic. Also, the Star Wars idea thread.

EDIT: ... or maybe there isn't, but there's a Misc. Idea tread in the Movies forum.

So Siege of Lothal, where Vader makes the entire Rebel fleet look like blind idiots.....the only reason they are alive is because he sensed the presence of Ashoka....who he now intends to let run free in hopes she leads him to more Jedi.

Also, possibly because the good in him that Luke and Padmé sensed makes him reluctant to kill her, as yet.

I have yet to look, want to give rebels two - three seasons to really establish itself before I look up the fanfiction.


That terrible moment when you realize, your fifth level characters just ran into an epic level baddie.

Well, that was a good episode.

7th Sister is growing on me, I loved it when she said "Well who doen't want to be a mother...."
which does have disturbing implications when you realize Vader's name translates out to Dark Father....

Also, Ezra...we need to have a talk about OPSEC....
