starwars 7 news Stick to your title. if I wanted to read Rebels news id go to the source not some half rate site hoster!
How rude! Don’t let the door …
cool episode
Dumb episode. It seems like the whole galaxy is on Lothal.
If the name George Lucas was somehow involved in this, you guys would be pulling the show apart and leaving a million comments on how it contradicts accepted canon and your “childhood.”
Search your feelings. You know this is true.
I admit it. And I would do it anyway, with or without G Lucas. In my mind, only the OT is canon and maybe certain parts of the PT.
In reality this is fine…it in no way interrupts the prequels or the ot.. its a side story apart from those. I mean seriously if we are going to go at it though!
Inquisitor would have been the proper choice to hit The Tantive 4 as well as Hoth Yavin etc instead of the chiefs of the Empire and the Emperors right hand man. Until Kenobi entered the Death Star and died they had no real reason to send that much power after a smuggler a desert rat and a Rebellious princess.. they could have sent a squad killed the royal family on Alderann end of rebellion shot han out of the sky and pretty much in one of those would have killed both “A New Hopes”… Instead lets pick apart the claymore Broad sword lightsaber that total messes up Canon backstory inspiration of the origins.. What Samuri wielded this weapon? Jedi are monks from Asia not Knights from Britain! lets discuss how quickly BeachBallD2 would blow circuts bouncing around his housing as he does..or 35 years into the future why there are still StormTroopers and not Military? or Why the chicks riding a speeder bike of a large scale modle of a ship from the prequels? naaah your right lets discuss Rebels on a site called Episode 7 News..Guess this chump no longer gets news and is now held hostage by Coming soon dot nets weekly round up..
I don’t get why you’re visiting, unless of course you just like raining on people’s parades. Seriously, if SW just isn’t meeting up to your entitlement syndrome anymore, you could always just let it go. We won’t be angry …
I can FEEEL your anger…
I sense much fear in these people …
Favorite episode thus far.
I really wish they would get off of Lothal. Pretty ridiculous that there was a temple on the planet for their convenience. I feel like I saw more in Clone Wars… I loved this episode though. No one can voice Yoda like Oz. I feel like they could (and should) take Ezra’s character to super dark depths caused by revenge.
If you watch the Rebels Recon episode, they debate this very topic. Apparently, there is some deeper meaning about Lothal. Convenient, I know. Guess we’ll just have to keep watching to find out. Either way, it doesn’t hinder my love for the show
It is convenient, but the story is based around Lothal and the four heros. So, would it make sense that there is something special about Lothal?
I, for one, loved the episode.. The direction from Yoda and the foreshadowing of Kanan’s dark side history / Ezra’s overcoming fear was very intriguing. I would love to see them travel beyond Lothal though.
I’d like to see Alderaan at some point from Disney, whether it’s in a film or cartoon.
I wish to see Alderaan as well. Someone on this site once mentioned their desire to have VII incorporate an asteroid field that is revealed to have been Alderaan. They also went on to speculate that it would have a holy or memorial feel to the space or even held sacred by the jedi. I thought that was a good idea.
I always thought Naboo should have been called Alderaan instead… it would have made a lot more sense and actually create more of an attachment to the planet having spent 3 movies there. Oh well!
I think a quarter of the comments here, George Lucas, are negative about you. Maybe you could have written a private email to ME.
Well, in A New Dawn, there’s mention of Kanan esentially turning into a drunk. Maybe it’s referencing that and not the Dark Side. We’ll have to wait and see …
@the true sith’ari
How exactly did Ezra “overcome” his dark side? Do you honesty think it was as simple as that?
This episode made no sense. If Yoda knew about Kanan as a partially-trained jedi, why in the hell was Luke “the new hope?”
You’re right….This series should have taken place after ROTJ. It could have still been on Lothal, It could have been still kanan’s rebels against the Inquisitors Imperial Remnant. You could get Luke or Leia or Solo cameos…. I’ll still watch it but it would make more sense if it happened after.
We don’t know what happen to Kanab and Ezra before episode IV. So perhaps they are not around by then.
THAT WOULD BE PRETTY DEPRESSING IF THEY DIED!
*Kanan
The cave test was exactly the same test Luke faces on Dagohbah only Yoda has a natural cave with not much else to use! Luke has his fathers LightSaber and minimal teachings from Obi Wan. I mean in reality Obi was training luke for? a week max from Tatooine to the Death Star maybe two weeks? but all in all Luke managed just fine. Ezra has been training for a while and trains for at least 4 years before one or both are killed… Oh you don’t know yet? this show has been cancled as of season 4-5 max to be replaced with a new show centering around episode 8! kind of odd right Episode 8 hmm Episode 8 would be the second Episode Episode 2 kind of like “The Clone Wars” Enjoy the show its already on a clock, Hopefully they can get deep into the stories and arcs before they have to wind it down, thankfully at least unlike TCW this will have a finale! hopefully the new show is dark and entertaining on par with Filoni`s The Clone Wars and less happy happy like Disneys Rebels. the shows good, it needs more. there needs to be a nc 17 show later in the evening a bit darker follow around a sith or something make em evil as hell and let the crew have free run with it..
Which also begs the quetion…..if luke was the new hope….then why the fuck did Obi-Wan wait to start training him until he was almost a man? ” your father wanted you to have this when you were old enough”…oh wait…” he is too old for training”…..with this stupid ass cartoon and the even more ignorant PT…it all just makes the OT not make any sense at all anymore. They might as well just reboot the whole damn series and start from scratch….this would completely end the clusterfuck that this universe has become.
Because only through Luke and Leia could the SIth be destroyed. Vader’s being brought back through his children is what the hope is meaning.
hey..Lando!
Inaccessible it is, illegal download I will. Shortsighted Disney has been.
Hmmm, corrupted are you! For once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will.
Truly wonderful the mind of a child is.
Yoda: “much fear is in you…… But here’s a lightsaber crystal anyways.”
ill watch the next episode on Friday you wait til Monday! ill post spoilers here for you!
Youtube is great for catching up on the show.
Disney XD is terrible for getting up to date on the new episodes.
Edit seem to disappear a lot lately.
Not my favourite episode, but I enjoyed it. Frank Oz was near perfect! Loved that part of it.
Near?
The rebels show just doesn’t feel right to me. The animation seems to be done on the cheap and the characters backstories aren’t done well. I personally think it would have been better if they had taken the time and resources to do it right.
That’s exactly how I feel about the current toy line; Rebel figure designs, and especially the Falcon and Xwing which can’t even hold figures… go figure.
start the countdown to the “it’s just a kids show” excuse in 3, 2, 1…
You guys take this show waaaay to seriously. I can’t believe there’s all this debate about a kid show…that’s not even canon…
🙂
Well, people may very well take it too seriously (let’s be honest many of us take SW too seriously in general) and it IS a kid’s show. However, regardless of your feelings towards it, Rebels is most certainly official canon. Like the rest of us, you’re free to have your own version of canon
hook, line, sinker…
it was a joke based on the previous poster’s message
Great Episode but those 22 minutes are too restrictiv on the whole series…Sometimes sequences are rushed and sometimes they take too long…I would totally go for 30 minutes…
I enjoyed it. Brilliant episode. The only thing is that Ezra’s lightsaber looks like a staple gun (I’m under the impression that it is also a blaster), which in a sense matches his personality (childish, lack of focus, lack of patience, discipline). Like that terrible sling shot he uses.
Good points: basically everything else was fantastic. Loved the Jedi mysticism, Yoda questioning both kanan and Ezra, Ezra facing his fears and Kanan admiring he doesn’t want Ezra to make the same mistakes he made (whatever that means).
Can people just stop complaining about the show being mostly on Lothal? Its not like this was a suprise, Dave Filoni said that it would be limited To one corner of the Galaxy, to show how the rebellion started so small. I’m sure they’ll go places as the show advances.
Great comment, if every epsiode was on another planet people would also complain. I like the starting of the rebels to be small, the reward will be huge when they start to grow as the Rebel Alliance!
I like the idea of only a few locations and a few characters. It’s easier to simpathize with them and to feel planets like home.
OT only had few, Prequels had too much.
Your prequel-hating deed of the day: done
Stupid response of the day: done.
Your conclusion is that i hate prequels only mentioning prequels had too much locations?
Bravo, your IC must be so high.
You have absolutely no idea, man. I don’t hate prequels, i just think they have too much environments.
Poor boy. Go to sleep, probably you will see some light…
“OT only had few, Prequels had too much.”
Let’s test this by listing the major locations/set pieces per movie:
TPM:
Onboard Trade Federation Control Ship
Naboo
Tatooine
Coruscant
Outer space battle
AOTC:
Coruscant
Naboo
Kamino
Tatooine
Outer space chase (Geonosis planetary rings)
Geonosis
ROTS:
Outer space battle
onboard Invisible Hand
Coruscant
Utapau
Kashyyyk
Mustafar
ANH:
On board Tantive IV
On board Death Star 1
Tatooine
Nn board Falcon
Yavin IV
outer space battle
TESB:
Hoth
On board Star Destroyer
On board Falcon
Outer space chase (Hoth asteroid field)
Dagobah
Cloud City
ROTJ:
Tatooine
Dagobah
On board Mon Calamari flag ship
Endor
On board Death Star 2
Outer space battle
So, not much difference.

Here ya go
DANG LANDO IN THE NEXT EPISODE! WOOOOOOOOOOOH! HOOOOOOOOO!
I think we will be seeing Lando in the next episode. If not, maybe Han (or both, which would rock all kinds of awesome!). Idiot’s Array is a rare hand in the card game Sabaac (the Idiot being like a Joker I guess)and even trumps Pure Sabaac (positive or negative 23). All this is at least according to the EU. In the EU, Han Solo won the Falcon from Lando in a game of Sabaac with a Pure Sabaac hand in the Cloud City Sabaac tournament. I doubt we will see this in Rebels, but that would be really cool. What if Kanan plays in this tournament and is at the table when this happens? Oh the possibilities…
I highly doubt we’ll see Han, but it would be awesome! I bet people would hate on it though … we’d get something like “Rebels is ruining SW))
This episode was fantastic. My cable provider had it available on demand last week and my son and I watched it. It was probably the darkest one yet while still maintaining child appropriateness (for ex. the slaughtering of the crew seen only by the shadows on the wall). It was also very enjoyable for me as a long time fan. The mysticism was intriguing and Yoda was icing on the cake. I for one love the new lightsaber design. It’s something fresh that we haven’t seen before. Not to mention it fits Ezra’s personality perfectly. And I’m hoping that the manufacturer of the lightsaber toy goes Nerf on this one. My son got a Vader and a Yoda saber for Christmas and we have been battling ever since. To be able to pop a dart off from the hilt while fighting would add a great deal of fun. 🙂
Cool! Is the Yoda one super small in scale?
They are basically the same size. My son is Yoda size though. Lol.
Awesome! Who’s been winning praytell?
I usually have the upper hand until I think the battle is over and he whacks me in the head.

Nice! It has darts! I called it… 🙂
Very cool. I like the series thus far. Would like to see some otber tie-ins from CW snd prequels.
More to say have you? Was like Shakespeare.
Really didn’t take to this show when it first aired but if it continues with great episodes like this and the two before it, I’ll be watching for a long time to come. Keep it up.
How hot is that Andi girl who presents the Recon show? Saying that, she’s got a rival in the associate producer Carrie Beck. She’s smoking hot!!
someone give a link for episode idiot’s array?
I think it won’t be available until the 12th. The show took another week off((
That’s cruel.
Not as cruel as making us wait until December for TFA (because they’ll already cash in on Avengers 2) I see you got the point of my moniker))) Vuy Russkiy?
I watched it last night. You have to keep in mind the show is for kids and therefore the plots are kept simple and straight forward. It would be nice if they got into a multiple 2 hour arch on Ezra’s training and challenges while in the temple, but that is not the purpose of this show.
I think it’s interesting that Ezra’s abilities are growing faster than Kanan’s ability to train him. Now with Yoda in the mix that might change.
but since the storywriters and animators can’t do anything right, it does make me wonder…. what IS the purpose of this show? To capitalize on the Disey buyout before December 2015?
I’m wondering if Yoda and Vader’s involvements are one-offs. What do you think? Either way … having a nostalgic blast with this show)
this “nostolgic blast” is blowing a hole right throgh the logic and continuity of this show.
How so? Not saying you’re wrong … but could you elaborate?
Anon,
If you don’t like the show don’t watch it or comment. If you do at least man up and post your name.
No please comment either way. There is nothing wrong with (constructive) criticism … but I do agree there’s no reason for anon status
Guess I am not a member of the target audience for this show, still I like it so far. As often the case, the main character isn’t the most interesting. That is for the most part because the story of a young person becoming a jedi has been told several times now. Hope the focus of the story switches form Kanan and Ezra to the other characters some time soon. The inquisitor is a good villain, he looks like a nosferatu-nazi, which is pretty effective, but he might become less menacing if they overuse him, as they did with Darth Maul. The episodes are indeed a bit short so the storytelling often feels a bit rushed. Seems they work on a not so high budget, while they have one of the biggest media companys behind them. The TCW animation looks less flat, which I like more. I watch Rebels because its Star Wars and it has been pretty good so far.
Rebels should be dark like Batman:TAS or The Justice League, I’m tired of kid friendly Star Wars!!!!!
Cute droids? Cute Ewoks? Funny Gungans? NO!
I want creepy aliens, deadly stormtroopers and a lot of people dying, because this is WAR!
Love is the answer.
I don’t know and I don’t care if you’re serious or not, but touché my man. Toufrigginché
Rebels are bad show.
For me Rebels are not star wars.
I agree. The only deaths in the animated shows are stormtroopers. Totally unrealistic in war.
well J J they didn’t have enough training yet, you know those clone troopers started deteriorating not long before and you could have just send me an email instead of openly writing negative things about my creation!
If you’re talking Rebels…then even though it didn’t happen onscreen something terrible happened to Ezra’s parents and the Jedi Masters waiting for their Padawan’s died….so there were deaths of seemingly what would be good people.
Methinks you should check out TCW … not only baddies die on that show
This is Star Wars not The Walking Dead…get your shows straight
this never gets old

I think, George Lucas, that a quarter of the comments here are negative about your creation. Instead of being open about it, maybe you could have written a private email to ME.
I’ve been a big fan of the show so far, and I loved the direction of this episode. However, I have one complaint that we’ve seen not only from Rebels, but from the Star Wars 7 trailer as well. So far from what we’ve seen, Disney has not given us one plain lightsaber. Not one! The Inquisitor’s saber is well…. yeah I’ll let you decide. Kaiden’s saber is almost like a tinkertoy. Now Ezra’s…. I just don’t get it. I’m guessing it’s all to sell toys and I get it, but come on at some point we need to see a plain lightsaber. I understand each saber has its own unique hilt what I mean by “Plain” is a single saber with a straight hilt. No bends, no cross guard (Sorry I had to say it) no tinker toy build it yourself kit lightsaber, and no staple gun sabers. I just want to see a plain saber that is all.
I think that’s where Vader and Obi-Wan come in. 🙂
How is it that Yoda (who is still alive in this timeline) is talking in a disembodied spirit form to Ezra?? We have seen Jedi call to other Jedi in the force, but to actually have a conversation with someone light years away?? This seems odd – unless we are being shown something “new”, a power that Yoda had but we have never seen used before….? I could almost accept that, but having the lightsaber crystal just materialize out of thin air at Yoda’s bidding… a real stretch,
i agree if yoda have this power why he cant contact luke?
I think there was mention somewhere of Yoda having watched Luke from afar. Yoda new OWK was going to send Luke his way
good god people – it wan’t Yoda – it was the Force.
Watching from afar, or calling from afar, yes, but having a conversation from afar, that is something we have not seen before.
No, Luke calling out to Leia at the ed of Ep.5 counts as having a conversation from afar. And Luke was just a Padawan at that point, not a master.
Um, no, that was not a conversation – a conversation occurs when people talk back and forth – she did not answer him, nor did she know how to at the time.
Look, I don’t want to overkill this, but when the SW universe post-rebels (i.e. eps IV, V and VI) does not show the force being used in this way, and suddenly “back” in rebels we see this happening, it sort of confuses things. Those who pick up the mantle of telling SW stories after George need to be paying attention to this stuff.
You’re right; I take it back. In the PT, we see Jedi masters including Yoda communicate via hologram. Why would they need a hologram if they could have just used the Force?
Yoda learned this power from Qui-Gon Jinn I believe.
The power yoda learned from Qui Gon was for use after death – yoda was not dead yet when this event with Ezra took place, which is why it is so strange that he be communicating this way while still alive.
I have not seen any mention about the similarity with the sound and look of the blade of Ezra’s lightsaber compared to the one from TFA trailer?
Ezra passed the test that Luke could not. He let go of his fear and trusted in the force. Great episode!
Another episode that gave us nothing…….sorry!!! It gave us the worst ever lightsaber hilt in the star wars universe. That think that Ezra built in the end is a shame for all lightsabers.Cannon and EU.It resembles a coffe mug!!!!
Unfortunately an inadequate show untill now. After the brilliant CLONE WARS this is a dissapointment . Everything happens in Lothal…no other planet in 9 episodes!!! And i don’t count that stupid asteroid-clone base.Fuck Coruscant……Lothal for Galactic Capital!!!!!!!!!!! It will be a miracle if it makes more than 2 seasons,unless it improves significally. we’ll see……
Apologies if this has been pointed out before but did anyone hear Ezra comment on using the TEmple as a base and then he said something about the “Stuff” in there. Could this be foreshadowing him collecting “Jedi Stuff” and could he be the shadowy figure that lives with Rey. Collecting Jedi artifacts?
