Sooo symbolic, Kanan standing where Ephraim had been.
I only wish Hera was standing where Mira had been…
Yeah. He does smile after she caresses his face. Their love is really something else.
I DON’T NEED THIS WHILE I’M IN A BUSINESS LUNCH
One of the things I really liked about the hug scenes for Kanan and Ezra is how contrasting it can be to appearances. Ezra's always been a tough kid. But when life hits too hard he suddenly goes from Jedi soldier in training to vulnerable child who needs unconditional love/protection. Likewise, Kanan's such a tough big, sometimes intimidating, looking guy. But he just cocoon's this kid into his arms, always to protect him (Ezra's so small next to him). It's nice to see that intimacy in show
Agree.
Those gentle moments, sparks of hope that despite all the hardships they went through, there’s unconditional love.

Since Filoni had practically said that nothing in SWR is a throw-away…
… I keep thinking of the ending of the “Future of the Force”.
In which Kanan effectively said that the responsibility to guard – and teach – young Force Sensitives now fall in the hands of the Jedi trio (or, as Maul said, two Jedi and a part-timer).
THAT sentence I think is a foreshadowing of how the SWR will end. The “End Game” of SWR, so to speak.
Some imagined possibilities,
-In later seasons, Ezra and Kanan reuniting with the more grown Alora and Pypey.
-Dhara Leonis, Zare’s Force-Sensitive sister, might pop up. She herself might opt to take up Jedi training and possibility might give intel on how the Inquisitor culture works.
- Almost forgot to add Jai, who did voice desire to be stronger. Jedihood might be an attractive path for him after almost being baited into the idea of becoming a potential Inquisitor.
-Kanan’s own pledge to guard and mentor the next Force-Sensitives gains a poignant meaning when Hera becomes pregnant. Not only does he help the new generation, but he takes part in creating it.
^^ I ^^ LOVE ^^ ALL ^^ OF ^^ THESE!! ^^
Yeah! There are loose ends still not taken care of since Season 1 and Season 2. And that tweet by Pablo which was so… interestingly-timed.
And OMG THAT LAST SENTENCE… That’s so poetic I’m not crying you’re crying.
THE END GAME IS SO PALPABLY VIVID
.
I WISH this is how S4 had ended! Free Lothal, bring force-sensitive children to the newly-freed world, and guard them while the war lasts (and after).
The Purgill could still be used to get Thrawn out of the picture, but this plot thread about the younglings was left hanging after all, and I wish the showrunners had done something with it.

Part 2 of underrated Star Wars Rebels relationships since you all liked the last one alot.
Kanan Jarrus and Zeb Orellios : Friends/Brothers who are both objectively intelligent people but are absolute idiots when they're left to their own devices. (According to @humankarkat)
Sabine Wren and Hera Syndulla : Always there for each other/Take care of each other Mother-Daughter relationship. (Suggested by @simon-white-blog)
Ezra Bridger and Captain Rex : Strong Grandpa-Grandchild relationship.
Kanan Jarrus and Captain Rex : Respect for each other but also like to tease each other kind of duo.
Sabine Wren and Fenn Rau : An Uncle who loves to pamper his niece kind of relationship.
Do you agree?
Star Wars Rebels Relationships | Part 3 | Part 2 | Part 1 |
Yup. Agreed.
I have a feeling Hera isn’t going to survive this season. It’ll lead to Ezra teaching little Jacen to let go of his attachments and Ezra officially taking him on as his apprentice
Don't. You. DARE.

Feeling oddly emotional about how datapads in Star Wars are designed to look like scrolls. I'm pretty sure this is intentional, anyway.
Seriously, squint at them. They have this long flat body (like the unrolled section of a scroll) with two tubelike projections on either end, and knobs sticking out in the same place the caps on the ends of the two "scroll-sticks" (whatever they're called) would go.
As a matter of fact, this is just one example of something subtle about Star Wars that I'm really growing to appreciate, the more I've fallen back into this fandom (the prequel and original eras, anyway, I can't speak for the sequels since I haven't seen them): how ancient some of its vibes are.
It's sci-fi, sure--you've got aliens and planets and spaceships and laser-guns and all that.
But the characters' attitudes--the way family and leadership and civilization is treated, and the reverence for faith, that there is something even greater and bigger than humanity itself--and yes, oftentimes little pieces of all these cultures' artistry and architecture and design--they speak very strongly of a world grounded in its tradition and history, not a rootless world always racing towards the future and discarding the past.
It's even in those immortal words, the very first seconds of Star Wars that ever existed, the opening text:
"A LONG TIME AGO, in a galaxy far, far away."
I truly, deeply love that.
Star Wars strikes me as more fantasy and not sci-fi for the reasons you mentioned. Sure, it's set in space and has space ships and droids and lightsabers and varied planets and alien species. But the story isn't hard sci-fi or or really even soft sci-fi. The OT is a personal journey set against the backdrop of a sweeping epic of good vs. evil, and the PT is about the fall of civilization ending in a tragedy with seeds of hope for the future. Strip away the setting of space and all its trappings, and you have an epic fantasy story.
when you know THAT scene is gonna be fire 🔥
…but you still have to reach it somehow…
I remembered today that Wolverine fought with the Howling Commandos in WWII and now all I want is for Logan and Steve to run into each other in the grocery store and just. Stare at each other for a second
Like this?
Guys I'm so insane
something something the thing about a tragedy is that it was always going to happen

Every now and then, I like watching people's reactions to Rebels, and recently I stumbled upon a Group's reaction to the show. Everything was pretty ordinary until they got to "The Holocrons of Fate." Out of nowhere, one of them started saying that Ezra got Kanan blinded. I thought it was a joke at first, but then they brought it up again—and several people in the group agreed. That's when it hit me: it wasn't a joke, they LEGITIMATELY think Ezra caused Kanan's blindness.
I didn't think that in the great year of 2026 I'd actually have to explain this, but first of all: NO. What Maul did is in no way Ezra’s fault. Because:
Ezra had absolutely no way of knowing who Maul was or how dangerous he could be. "But- but- but he looks like a demon straight out of hell!" Bruh, Vizago looks like a demon too, but that doesn't mean Ezra is gonna be scared or wary of him.
Maul INTENTIONALLY—and I repeat, PURPOSELY—played the role of a "weak, fragile old man" to not seem like a threat to Ezra. He deliberately MANIPULATED Ezra’s empathy, pushed his buttons, and formed a bond just to exploit it later for his own goals. Maul knew exactly what he was doing and did it on purpose. And the whole "He's a villain, what else do you expect?" excuse doesn't work because a) it doesn't clear him of responsibility, and b) characters don't have the meta-knowledge of 6 movies and 7 seasons of TCW.
Kanan and Ahsoka—ESPECIALLY Ahsoka—could have said something. Ahsoka, for one, knows exactly what Maul is capable of, but for reasons known only to Dave Filoni, she stays quiet. I'm not sure if Kanan even knows who Maul is, but still, they are both adults capable of rational thinking. So IF (If!!) we start blaming Ezra for what Maul did, then their blame is either bigger or at least equal.
AND YET, NONE OF THIS EVEN MATTERS. Because Ezra and Kanan ARE NOT TO BLAME for being DECEIVED! Just like the Jedi are not to blame for being DECEIVED by Sidious.
This got me thinking: why are people so quick to blame Ezra? I know he annoys a lot of people, but it just makes no sense.
Fans have given Ezra a hard time for trusting Maul...but the thing is, he didn't trust Maul at first! Ezra points his lightsaber at him, keeps him at arm's length, doesn't give out his own real name, and treats the situation with proper caution. He doesn't start to trust Maul until Maul preys on his sympathies and fears.
Ezra's greatest strength is his empathy and ability to connect, and his greatest weakness is his anger and over-protectiveness. Maul exploited both.
i think there'd be alot less discourse around "fanfic vs literature" if more people treated fanfiction as it's own medium with it's own strength and weaknesses, rather than comparing it to traditional literature, because most of what i love about fan-fiction just straight up does not work in original fiction. at all.
my friend just told me, “honestly, right now I don’t think you need a reminder that it’s all for God’s glory; I think you need a reminder that Jesus wept.”
