I am so glad you watched Rebels first. I think it helps so much with picking up on the themes of this series and where the characters are mentally and emotionally
I love were seeing a Mandalorian become a Jedi with Sabine and a Jedi becoming a Mandalorian with Grogu. That's very George Lucas, and has Dave Filoni written all over it. I think Hyuang is so hard on Sabine in this show because he sees potential in her. I mean he's been around for over 25K years helping Jedi. I can't help but think he would know potential when he sees it.
Oh totally agreed. And I noticed the opposite paths thing too. I hope she and Grogu meet at some point. I’ve been saying for years that I need her and Din to meet and interact. I’m gonna die when it finally happens. I feel like they’re either gonna drive each other crazy or be besties. She and Grogu are gonna love each other. I’d also love a scene with her, Din, Grogu and Bo all talking.
There’s a lot of ways that I think Baylan is such a unique Star Wars antagonist (I don’t think “villain” is the right word) including that he doesn’t actively want to fight any remaining Jedi if he can help it. Such an interesting character and even though Ray Stevenson isn’t with us anymore I hope Lucasfilm finds a respectful way(s)to at least explore the character’s background (Tales of the Jedi episodes, a Timothy Zahn novel, etc.)
10:00 Actually, in Starwars, Every time you see an explosion around a ship it means shields took a hit... so Hera was shot several time but the Phantom II shields held. She's still a crack up pilot, just they didn't miss much.
I love what you said about Ahsoka’s past and how that connects to her caution first with Sabine then with Hrogu then Sabine again. But one thing I love about this show is seeing how Ahsoka’s evolved and started to change her outlook sinve meeting Din and Grogu. She takes a much more progressive approach with Sabine and her training than I thought she would. That’s something I was a bit worried about when I started this show. You get to see more of that in the next couple episodes. I feel like it’d be so much fun to see Ahsoka, Sabine, Din, and Grogu talk. That’d be a fascinating conversation.
I'd be hard-pressed to name any animated show that carried over to live-action so perfectly - the casting, the writing, all are superb. It really feels like a seamless continuation of Rebels. As much as this is about Ahsoka, I find Hera and Sabine more compelling characters (I've always loved Sabine, my favorite Rebels character from the get-go.) Then again, Hera is pretty much a "Rogue Squadron" type of character, and that's always been my favorite since Star Wars: A New Hope - as a kid, I wanted an X-Wing, not a lightsaber. Hera's one of my tribe.
I was so excited to see the Rebels prologue show up in live action at the end of this episode. When the Rebels ended, Filoni wouldn't say where the scene was in the timeline. It's so fantastic to see his vision slowly unfolding in front of us with scenes like this. I can't wait to see all the other things he hid in the shows that will show up going forward. I don't know if you've heard the Filoni reference Ahsoka being like Gandalf from LOTR for Star Wars, but he really wasn't kidding and we are watching it happen. The Rebels are the Fellowship and Ahsoka is their guide.
I wondered if you would make the connection when Sabine cut her hair. She made a ritual out of it almost exactly like someone from Rebels did, before a momentous event. I swear it was the exact same kind of, if not the same knife. The interplay between Hera and Chopper had me rolling the first time I heard and its still one of my favorite moments of the show. "Did you go through my stuff?" "No, I didn't go through your stuff." "Yes you did!"
The show is primarily focused on Ahsoka and Sabine, and I’m distracted by how beautiful, Jess, your reactions are to seeing Hera continue to be wonderful. (And you too, Chopper.) I knew that would be the case, and I still wasn’t ready for how lovely those reactions would be.
Ahsoka knows what it is like to have a headstrong Padawan, just like Obi-Wan and Anakin. When I first watched this episode, I thought Chopper was going to score a body count with the transport. "Chopper's gonna chop" after all. So far, the New Republic already looks like a failed state. The title for this episode is a homage to MacBeth.
@@ItsMeMattCarter The amnesty program is a good idea on paper, but the New Republic implemented it so poorly without any proper screening of applicants that all a hardliner, like the one in Mando, has to do is say the right things and get accepted.
An underrated scene in this episode was when you get that shot through the window of Huyang giving Sabine back her light saber with her theme playing in the background. I don’t know why it just makes me feel all the things especially after Rebels. Speaking of Huyang, he’s gonna be your new favorite character by the end of
So on point as usual. love this reaction. i knew when i saw chopper you would love it & you didn't disappoint. keep it up. can't wait for you to see what's coming.
same,, I rewatch episodes every day or moments.. I love seeing reactions to it... even the people who have no clue seem to love the show.. of course, there are one or two that are angry about everything in life
I know it's difficult to see but, there is a picture of Freddy Prince Jr on the dashboard when Hara runs into the cockpit of the Phantom. New rockstars does a breakdown of all of the easter eggs, it's a really great video to check out.
Of all the recastings of pre-existing TCW/Rebels characters, none nailed their role better than Mary Elizabeth Winstead, the sassy mum energy is strong!
Wow, kinda the opposite for me, she's sorta the only one that doesn't really seem to fit. Hera has such a warm, wise tone to her in Rebels, and speaks at kind of a slow pace, but Winstead speaks at such a fast clip and comes off relatively much less open. Maybe it's just been too long since you've seen Rebels.
While I agree M.E.W. isn't playing Hera as a direct imitation of the animated character, I'm not sure anyone could really pull that off. Hera is one of the toughest characters to make the transition to live action. Who but the original voice actress could come close? I think M.E.W. has done a nice job of creating a version of Hera in live action. She works her "Mom-ness" subtly wherever it's needed and she portrays her pilot side well so far. That said, I was already a fan of Mary, as far back as Lucy McClane in Live Free Or Die Hard, so maybe I'm biased in her favor. Btw, Lucy McClane IS Hera, by the end of that movie!
Ahsoka's most terrible flaw is ditching someone outright because theres a possibility of attachments taking them the wrong route rather than guiding them through it like Kanan. I would argue she was unfit to be a Master.
Oh, Chica! You're not wrong... I really believe she is HANDS DOWN the BERST PILOT EVER in the Galaxies known within the Star Wars Lore... Sh'e's better than Anakin, She beated Vader, We urge a Mano a Mano Luke, Din, Bobba, Fennec, Sabine, Hera, Lando to find out who goes right after Anakin and Third from General Syndulla. And so Excited on the idea of the upcoming Filoniverse Trilogy cause Hera Piloting the Millenial Falcon in the war against Thrawn has to happen. If Poe Dameron got to pilot it, and Excuse me buit if we are having an adult serious conversation here wemall know he's not in the contes, he's been "Degradado" by General Leiah Organa. Have not rewatched Ahsoka cause I was waiting for you Sesss to finish Rebels and you're reaction is all I needed to not have to rewatch it on my own. Your classy lure and proper manners yet spicy and bubly sparklin and it's all because in your eyes we can see your love for this carachters is real and the passionate you go for this stories, maybe fantasies, but the ones that reminds us how lucky we are to be alive in times of Star Wars... and also cause I know that you're all in with meon the ones who grovel for Aleksander Kallus shows up with Zeb to meet again with Ezra hoping they still have that lovely bromance. Did you watch Bad Batch 3 Trailer Bomb? Bukle up, Girl!! Can't wait you to get to episode 6 and now, I'll zip it hush.
Hera didn't beat Vader, lol. She literally had to rely on the Imperials making a mistake to escape Vader. Anakin and Luke are the best pilots, with Han, Wedge and Hera in second place.
I honestly would have been happier with them just killing Sabine, rather than her surviving being impaled by a lightsaber if they’re going to give her a mortal wound.
Filoni made Sabine a bit annoying in this show, and I loved her in Rebels. She is not irredeemable, but she does things here, I do not think Rebels Sabine would do.
"Rebels" Sabine lived during a different time and has changed due to something that happened during the interim (I had written the reason but removed it as I realized it's a potential spoiler).
The thing is the lightsaber stop bleeding, people die for lost of blood, shock, unless the wound is direct on heart or head, without the lose of blood and with the tech they have is not unbelievable that they can be saved
Got to love when Hera says that she can't shoot the ship down because it crash into the city, and Chopper's response is: "And that's bad?"
I thought he said are you sure? Chopper’s such a menace lol.
I took it as "do we care?"
I absolutely love Ray Stevenson's character in this. It's a shame the actor passed away 😔. He really brought something special to Star Wars.
I am so glad you watched Rebels first. I think it helps so much with picking up on the themes of this series and where the characters are mentally and emotionally
Hera is the ultimate Mom of the group. She can bring the others together and make people see the right thing to do
space mom
I so want Hera to meet Mando. Hera, space mom to a mandolorian becoming a Jedi and Mando, space dad to a Jedi becoming a Mandalorian.
Chop's victorious arm pump and muscle show is the single most adorable droid behavior since BB-8 gave Finn that thumbs up way back when.
I'm convinced chopper said "What the fuck?"
he did...lol
Chopper totally said WTF

I’m so glad the premiere was a double drop, I would not have been able to wait a week to see if Sabine was ok
I’m so glad you watched Rebels before diving in to this show: 😂

Great reaction! Huang is a fine, sassy and sage old droid! Hera and Chopper were perfect!
10:00 Actually, in Starwars, Every time you see an explosion around a ship it means shields took a hit... so Hera was shot several time but the Phantom II shields held.
She's still a crack up pilot, just they didn't miss much.
I’m so glad to see you finally react to this series. It gets better and better.
Maybe Sabine wouldn't have taken the map if Ahsoka had actually told her the reason she wasn't allowed to take the map: dangerous people are after it.
No, by all means, keep praising Hera, I love to watch your excitement!

I live howuch you love these characters. These stories are wonderful
Hera is the jedi therapist to Ahsoka and Sabine, like how youve always said the jedi would benefit from therapy
Hera is "space mom", Ahsoka is 'Auntie Ahsoka", Sabine is the punk/rebel & artist
So glad you're enjoying it. I loved this show so much. Great reaction as usual.

I've been waiting for this for so long. Oh, how much I love her channel❤ Not to mention how beautiful she is as well.
Huang spits the truth, pure logic and screw all your messy human feelings.
Ahsoka knows what it is like to have a headstrong Padawan, just like Obi-Wan and Anakin.

not for lack of trying. he wanted to shoot the ship down and damn the consequences of the people underneath it.
I love it so much when you hear natasha's austrailian accent coming out. it adds this totally new and interesting element to sabine's character.

So glad you waited to watch Rebels first!! Loving these reactions ^_^
I look forward to her seeing Spectre 7 on screen.....
I love seeing your styles for your videos! You always look so good! And you color match your nails PERFECTLY!!!!
Really loving your reactions to Ahsoka.
No, Hera is an excellent pilot and Chopper is a war criminal :) :): :)
Awesome reaction of my favorite episode of Ahoska!!!!😊😊😊😊
Hera IS the best!
I love how much you love Hera! I love the women in this series so much. Enjoying your reaction!

Zeb is occupied with the events of the Mandalorian season 3. I don’t know why everyone forgets this.
You haven't seen Episode 4 I've seen Episode 4 Just get ready for Episode 4
Wonder if Sabine was using Kanan's knife to cut her hair. At least the ritual seemed very similar to what he did.
