In this installment of Rebels Recon, we dig deep into the two-part Star Wars Rebels episode "In the Name of the Rebellion," in which Saw Gerrera returns to fight alongside the Ghost crew. Host Andi Gutierrez sits down to discuss the episode with the show's creators and stars, including Dave Filoni, Pablo Hidalgo, Vanessa Marshall, and many more.
Does anyone else hope they do a new animated series after Rebels, with a "Recon" series like Rebels Recon? Purely so Andi could continue to harass Pablo Hidalgo about fan questions?
infinitesheldon I just want more of Andie. I just love the way that woman looks. Reow!
@Obi-Wan Kenobi "Really mean"? He made one sarcastic comment, and it could honestly be seen as him criticising the people who were actually harassing Star Wars Theory.
Also, weird you're bringing that up to a three year old comment
"The things I do for money..." Bravo, Vizago! Hondo would be proud!
YESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! These Are Some of My Favorite Episodes!!! I Love Rebels Recon SO Much!!! I Miss It I Wish they would keep doing this for The New Shows. I LOVE THIS SHOW SOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!
"The Empire consider us both criminals, at least I act like one." #SawGerrera
Loved the episodes! 🙌
I love this so much the base of Yavin iv is actually based in the city of the Tikal in Guatemala, a country i am a part of, when i saw it in the original trilogy it was amazing then when i saw it in Rogue One it was amazing. Thank you Lucasfilm for making a such iconic place like Tikal so important in the Star Wars Universe. Some years ago an American Archeologist found an even bigger Mayan city half an hour from Tikal on Chopper, It is called El Mirador it was the capital of the entire Mayan Civilization and it holds the biggest temple to date in the World, just saying if you ever need any more big temples or cities lol. Thanks Star Wars. :)

Manuel Armando Rodríguez Gonzalez yeah me too, I'm Guatemalan and I've visited Guate 5 times. I always remember the 3rd time cause I saw Tikal, I recognized it immediately, I was a little star wars fan then
Wow That's so Interesting!
These episodes were some of the best yet
I loved these episodes and soo happy to see Saw and Two Tubes! I gasped when I saw Yavin 4. So many feels!
I loved seeing Rex on Yavin IV
because y'know he's a clone from the prequel era in this very original trilogy place and it makes the universe feel more close.
Man, that R3 sure is the new hotness around the office. Love how his dome slowly tracks Chopper.
I'm excited to see what they'll do after rebels
the next animated series is rumored to take place between Return Of The Jedi & The Force Awakens they're is alot to mine from the 30 Years
FINISH THE CLONE WARS! WE NEED THE TO SEE THE ASSAULT ON MANDALORE!
TotalDrganMania they should it at least the lost episodes
+TotalDrganMania Couldn't Lucasfilm just make Clone Wars arcs into movies like they did with the Clone Wars movie? Then it wouldn't count as episodes really so Warner Bros couldn't sue. Idk I could be wrong. Tbh I doubt they'll continue it. They're telling untold stories through other media like novels and comics. The Siege of Mandalore happens in the Ahsoka novel.
Maybe they will finish the unfinish episodes of the clone wars and release them.
I think I have never said this but, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE SUBTITLES IN THE VIDEOS you seriously don't know how helpfull they are :')
I watched the episode, than i went to sleep than i woke up and this was out, perfect timing
Ezra: Saw, you shot me!
Saw: Let’s be more precise, I stunned you.
Are we not gonna talk about how great Chopper was in this episode?? I mean, come on, he was awesome! You go, Chop!
missystar013 Chopper was super awesome in this ep! I love seeing him play bigger roles.
A cracking episode. So excited for the rest of the season.
Also, many thanks for giving us 2 episodes!
Elliot Kouame i preferred the 2nd episode
I love this little banter with Pablo. I hope you're going to do an epic conclusion to *his* story of struggle with the fan questions in the last episode of Rebels Recon ;)
6:44 THAT'S MEEEE!!! 😀😀😀
Nice question :D
I'm a little salty they didn't answer my question about the Darksaber tho :p
Congrats dude
Congrats.
Ebanks Studios I also got my question answered a year ago. Now our names are spoken on the Blu-ray copies.
Really? I'm pre ordering the blu ray now 😂
I don't have a problem with how the Deathtroopers were handled here. You have to remember that they were taken by complete surprise and they had no intel on their enemies. There is a HUGE difference between taking initiative and the first strike and a strait fight, if the Deathtroopers had known that a fight was coming the whole fight would have gone VERY differently.
The next episode looks epic! Cant wait!
*Sees the fiery clouds above Lothal*
Remember Reach
Oh yes I do my friend
I don't recall being so early to any of videos on Official channel. Still, it's wonderful to start off a day with new Rebels Recon. Have a nice day everyone and May the Force be with you!

good god, what the hell did the empire do to lothal. cause it looks like it's been through the ringer.
Confused peace with terror, that's what the Empire did.
Some guy accidentally mixed salt and tritejectohydroxide creating a fission. Causing an explosion. The CIA will probably take this down in a couple hrs. Screenshot this comment everyone
Matt Boesch thats puting it lightly
WillFanofMany 😂😂😂 Sadly that’s almost a possibility.
ruclips.net/video/jDvHmys3gBc/видео.html
Okay, wow. The music as they’re approaching Lothal sent chills down my spine.
“Kanan, what’ve they done? Lothal looks like it’s dying!”
This episode was really, really good! Couldn't love it more!
Loving these 2-at-once hour long stories.
I hope we get an episode that focuses on Kanan and Hera centric episode. Also, I hope we get a definitive answer about Ahsoka
anthony leach You’re not the only one.
"It feels like we never do anything to hurt the Empire."
Remind me again, how many Star Destroyers has the Ghost Crew blown up at this point?
'Cause killing over a hundred thousand Imperials doesn't feel like "doing nothing"
What I like most about this episode arc was that much like Rogue One, we got to see how different Rebel cells handled themselves and the Empire. There was a clear distinction on how the Partisans and the Rebel Alliance to Restore the Republic believed in what they thought was right, conducted war, and operated. Saw has tunnel vision in his search for the Empire's super weapon and is not willing to deviate from his course and neither does he care about who gets in his way. Unlike Mon Mothma or General Dodonna, he doesn't plan for the long term, and instead wants to destroy the Empire wherever he can find them or at the very most hurt them enough. I do think that there is a bit of inconsistency with him as one time he's willing to blow up a station with dozens of Imperials, next he's stunning and knocking stormtroopers unconscious, and then he's willing to blow up a whole ship with enemies, allies, and civilians alike. There was one moment in his fighting with the Deathtroopers where he was about to kill the commander but then it cut and turns out he only missed (from only a few feet away; does Saw have stormtrooper aim?) While this may indicate his mental instability, I think it has more to do with the writers of the show and their unwillingness to keep Saw a consistent character.
Rebels has no qualms with deaths, but unlike TCW, they don't get up in your face about it. It's always in an explosion, a far away blaster shot, falling, or off-screen. They don't bring the camera close to the character's faces either or when they do it's mostly stormtroopers and it's okay because they're faceless. The deaths in this episode have been inconsistent as well. First they're willing to kill people, then they don't, and then they do again.
Where does Sabine keep her paint? ...Does she have lube on her as well?
I really hate how they changed the Death Troopers. The voice scrambler is abandoned as is their sensor systems within their helmet and with smoke no less! Hell, even standard stormtrooper helmets are supposed to be equipped with vision enhancements! The show devalued their intimidation and made them less elite, and thereby less of a challenge to the Rebels. I did find the fact that their commander was a woman a surprise as these troopers are physically built to be more masculine. I think that this is the work of the cybernetic enhancements but I'm not sure. It's a shame that she wasn't saved by the explosion. I would've like to have seen her appear more often now that we lost two significant Imperial officers.
I don't like how it is the Death Star that is the catalyst that brings the Rebel cells together to form the Alliance. The Imperials even confirm that *this* is the Rebel Alliance in ANH and Rogue One. That Mon Mothma's coalition is a legitimate threat and they have a name. It's like calling ISIS or al-Queda, not ISIS or al-Queda at the time that they were formed even if they were identifying themselves as being that.
See, people? This show isn't supposed to be tied to the films. These characters don't have to have shared destinies with the main SW cast.
I’m glad to see the classic Imperial Shuttle in this episode. I was getting tired of seeing all those Sentinel-class landing crafts in every episode, not that I’m complaining of course.
I LOVE Andi's t-shirt. It really accentuates the suppleness of the Star Wars crawl.
I was really hoping that when the Ghost jumped into hyperspace at the end of Part 2, there would be a lingering long shot of the star destroyer exploding. As the "camera" zooms out, we see a massive dark circle in the background with dotted lights emanating from it, making it seem like it's space, but it's actually not. The Death Star was there all along. We would never get a proper look at it and there would be no music, just that eerie humming noise that it makes in A New Hope.
I like how Pablo's coffee cup is full before Andi asks the questions and how afterwards, it's half empty!
Awesome episodes!! Loved all the Rogue One connections^^ and finally we got to see a LAMBDA CLASS IMPERIAL SHUTTLE
"We all could make dark choices..." @ 5:14, while showing Rey... Precursor to the Last Jedi?
I was going to post the same thing. Funny how they all matched up and Rey is dark choices...I foresee Rey going down a dark path.
This season has been super fun so far. I didnt even think about Hera hologram thing while watching but yea we do wanna see her
This episode was great. Even better than last week.
This final season is definitely taking it up a notch.
From that 1 minute clip from next episode, i'm already getting emotional, Lothal truly looks like its dying.

I am stunned neither of them even realized they were facing Imperial Death Troopers. We see more of the "disagreements" between Mothma and Gerrera going further and Ghost Crew seeing begin seeing ineffectiveness of Mothma's missions. The satellite takeover fails and Sabine and Ezra were saved by Saw who brought them along for a mission of his own which is a continuation of the crisis on Geonosis. What they ended up finding is a massive Kyber Crystal along with captured scientists which they come to the conclusion the Empire is building a super weapon. Unfortunately things do not go as planned when the location Saw believed was their destination was a rendzevous. He destroys the crystal bringing the Star Destroyer down with the cargo ship. Ezra, Chopper, and Sabine narrowly escapes on an Imperial Shuttle with the captured technicians. While most of the Rebellion does not believe war has not already begun but the Ghost Crew begins to realize that the Empire is on the verge of finishing a super weapon. Krennic was mentoned in this episode along with the massive Kyber Crystal. Further preludes to the Death Star. Side note, love the design of Yavin 4 base in Rebels and I can tell a few months has passed because Callus's and Saw's hair has grown out since the last time.
What about the droid attack on the wookies?
See episode III
Thanks for taking my question!
Wow best episode yet
Anyone else put off by how incompetent the Death Troopers were portrayed here?
SYLO: Star Wars No. They were trying to avoid messing with the Extremely Sensitive Kyber Crystal.
Yes because its easy to defeat a Mandalorian warrior, a jedi, and a deranged rebel extremist who doesnt care what it takes to get the job done. They werent very competent in rouge one either.
That rebel extremist is also a veteran of the Clone Wars, and never stopped fighting.
itz DRod In Rogue One they defeated more Rebel forces with less losses than the Shore and Stormtroopers, and they also killed Chirrut and Baze. But It was kind of weird seeing them speak normally instead of the scrambled voice we see in Rogue One.
+Teemo4Life You're the dumbass. Chirrut let himself die by srandinf there for 5 seconds and they missed like 7 shots before the knocked Baze down.
4:18
that is some new behind-the-scenes footage of Saw? I don't remember ever seeing that
Great episode! Can't wait for the next episode of Rebels where Ezra goes to Lothal. It looks like the planet is in a fiery state of terror right now and extremely tense. 😮😱🙂👍☄🌆🔥
this season has a great start and as always i lok forward for the next episode.
"can a kyber crystal be weaponized?" oh come on guy, do you know lightsabers?
I'm surprised Sabine knew anything about Kyber Crystals. I would have expected knowing anything about them to be extremely esoteric.
Saw is one badass character!
είθε η δύναμη να είναι μαζί σας! Great t-shirt Andi!
I was watchong part 1 last night, my mom was with me, and it was the part where Kanan told Hera where to fly the Ghost and during that out of no where my mom says,"Yeah let the blind guy drive."😐 literally my face.
i like how this show has stuff like mandalorians being disintegrated, and lothal being burned down by the empire.
Nice tshirt Andi, que la fuerza te acompañe :)
Que los Porgs te acompañen
May the force be with you
Bruno M es bueno de ver tanto diversidad en la comunidad de star wars 👍😁😊✌
So apparently we are basically having two episodes every week of Rebels, what a treat. Next week, The Occupation and Flight of the Defender. Some rather cataclysmic events have occurred on Lothal since the last time.
I actually came to love this show now.
Waited so long !
Ezra: Kanan what have they Done to my home planet?
Me: Sure, ask the blind guy :)
*Loved this episode, hope it keeps its' momentum :)*

"sometimes we make dark choices" (immediately shows a shot of Rey after defeating Kylo Ren)
hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
So, people complain about Death Troopers being "nerfed" in Part 2 of the episode. Let's analyze the situation they were in:
- First Death Trooper gets shot 'cause he was taken by surprise. The other four are stunned, but react when they see their fallen comrade.
- Sabine pops out not one, but TWO smoke grenades, impairing the visuals for the Death Troopers. Since they were spread out, one gets ambushed and knocked to the ground by Saw Gerrera (unconscious at first, probably killed off-screen by Saw).
- The third one also get ambushed in the smoke, but the problem here is that the Death Troopers didn't retreat immediately, thinking they could actually outwit the three attackers. At this point, Saw picks up one of the Death Troopers and the Death Trooper commander, still impaired by the smoke grenade, thinks her colleague is alive, but questioning his actions, until Saw pulls up the blaster and shoots. Commander and the remaining trooper react quickly and take cover behind the containment field of the Kyber crystal.
- When the field got hit, they decided to tactically retreat and that's when the fourth trooper gets shot in the left shoulder. So, at least one or two troopers probably were alive, but killed possibly off-screen? The commanding Death Trooper remains and decides to purge the escape pods and try to resolve the situation in best way possible.
Even in Rogue One, some Death Trooper actions when Baze starts killing them are also questionable, as well as the two accompanying Krennic to the vault and getting shot there as well. Yes, they are supposed to be elite forces, better than regular stormtroopers and are technologically enhanced in some way, but they still come from Stormtrooper corps', those who were the best and fit to pass the training. And when it comes to dealing with a Jedi, even in training, a Death Trooper could do only so much against such a foe.
As for the unscrambled voices, they just gave us those to understand what they were saying. Ezra, Sabine and Saw probably still heard only the scrambled callouts.
I was just really hoping Rebels would redeem Death Troopers from their weak portrayal in Rogue One. Seems they just made them even worse.
Commando Droids were portrayed MUCH better and actually felt like a genuine threat in the Clone Wars. I was hoping Death Troopers would be the same in Rebels.
Like I said, they weren't even that good in Rogue One, but you have to take the situation they found themselves in. Have you played EA's Star Wars Battlefront? Have you seen what a smoke grenade does to impair vision in that game? That's how I came to this conclusion for the situation this squad found itself in, at least for the first part. Ok, the commander survived the first onslaught, but she had nothing to work with but her own training and stormtroopers later on. But she did react to the loss of her team properly when she evaded death.
Always take the context of the situation some troopers find themselves in.
I don’t know if Battlefront would be the best source. It is canon but many things are adjusted for gameplay purposes. For instance, flash bangs shouldn’t work on stormtrooper helmets.
But smoke should and would impair their vision anyway.
Vizago! Wow it's been a while!
So many Season 1 and 2 callbacks recently

To the people complaining about the death troopers- did you forget that the kyber crystal was extremely sensitive? They obviously didn’t want to mess with it, so no, they aren’t going to be kickass if they are trying to avoid messing with a ticking time bomb.
Ballet LoversTV Agreed.
They are trained in hand to hand combat, and are elite commandos. So even if they didn't want to fire, they should be capable to stand up to an old man. Not win, just... not be taken out like they are 12 year old.
It never came down to hand to hand
Saw strangled one. He strangled an armored Death Trooper. So yes, it came to hand to hand.
They are also up against a Jedi, which they probably have never dealt with before.
Kinda baffling how they managed to make an episode with Death Troopers into a comedy. And for being a bit of an extremist, Saw was ridiculously restrained in his handling of the Stormtroopers.
Still much better than the premier though.
I know, in the mandalore arc, they actually waited for a trooper that was knocked down to turn around before slicing their blaster. Courtesy on the battlefield?
I LOVE SABINES HAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sweetangelgirls aj I hope Ezra notices and compliments her hair. Maybe starting the Ezrabine OTP already!
James Waterson no
Piers Watson do you ship Ezrabine or Ketbine or none or Zebine
There is a problem of continuity at the beginning of Rebels 4.3 ! At 00:37 the Yavin landing area is full of Y-Wing and suddenly at 01:45 five V-Wing have appeared and the Mandalorean ship has vanished as few Y-wings. Have you noticed it ?
0:05 the door says, Snoke Ren.....................fascinating
Joe Kerr maybe it's supposed to be a mock campaign sign?
Hey STAR WARS THIS EPISODE WAS AMAZING MAKE MORE LIKE THESE!!!!!!
This was REAL TIGHT!!!😃 Saw was trying to show them a THING or TWO about fighting the empire like they should!😒 Also Kallus may be a changed man and a REBEL now😁 but that still doesn't change the fact that I will NEVER just suddenly forgive him for what he had done to MAKETH TUA while he was still one of THEM...THE EMPIRE!😡 He should've SEEN the empire for what it really was BEFORE he did that to her!😞
I think he knew she was turning but did not know that the empire blew her up he probably thought it was the rebels
IlluminatiComfirmed 69 Well that MIGHT be true!😒
Anyone else notice how they dropped the image of Rey from TFA at the "making Dark Choices" Part?
Who else was jump scared by the death trooper
I definitely was it terrified me
Reminded me of the time I Jump Scared a player in my old Star Wars (West End version) campaign. Player opened the door, Storm Commando was right on the other side, just waiting to punch the Player Character. Which is exactly what happened. XD
Boy, that character's player was SOOO indignant! :D But everyone else was laughing!
It got me.
Death Trooper: Surprise motherf----
Also the Death Trooper commander is a girl.
Jervis Javier I know
Wow, Kanan finally took his hair down! 7:32
Excellent Star Wars Rebels Recon Episode !
In the Name of the Rebellion, Part two was the better episode, in my opinion.
Grammar oof
SteveSpikes ha wrong grammar!!!!
SteveSpikes its like the start and end a film
Kanan's got some nice shades
First word in description is missing the I
ruclips.net/video/jDvHmys3gBc/видео.html
I thought they were gonna show the death star, but then thought that they'd be like "nah" and they were like "nah" and I was sad
That odd finger wiggle Ezra did the last time Saw asked Ezra if he was coming. Did he use Affect Mind on him? It seemed a little strange that his next action was to give him back his lightsaber and use the word "Friend" in his response before leaving.
Are the rebels going to stop using A Wings til later or will we see them later this season?
Jake Timberlake I think they are pretty much all destroyed so we won't see a-wings in the timeline until ep6
Douglas Carriere I hope not, they with the Jedi interceptor are my favorite starships
Jake Timberlake they weren't all destroyed since the introduction of the X-wings to the rebel alliance the A-wings entered a remodel to a better variant (this is what I think),
All of the A-wings were taken to Honest Hondo's Used Starship Emporium to be traded in for X-Wings. :)
Dragonfly gaming I know there’s like 5 left from the devastation on Attolon, but are they still in the assembly line, or will we wait til 6
I didn't know you could get Kyber crystals that big
There was one almost that big in the unfinished episodes of Clone Wars, it's a really good arc if you imagine all the missing animation details
By the way these unfinished episodes are available to watch on starwars.com.
The first one of this arc is "A Death on Utapau"
www.starwars.com/video/star-wars-the-clone-wars-story-reel-a-death-on-utapau
Well yeah snokes going to need a really big cyber cristal to power up his light Syber havnt you seen how big he his xD
Alex Knauth love that arc and the Bad batch one love that arc to bad it never got finished
sweetangelgirls aj well it has to be big to power the Death Star.
Havnt wTchef this si ce like yhe end of like season one. Should i get back too it.?
Look at the description, “n this installment....” lmao
What about the rebel base on Dantooine that Leia gives up before the empire blows up Alderaan? It was deserted by that time, but it was there. I expected to see it in this show.
I hope we are not gunna be a week late on the episodes now that we are asking question to Pablo

Did they tested the Death Star's Primal weapon's power on Lothal?
Big Smoke no that was rouge one. They even say they were testing it officially on jeddah

I guess that it rather has to do with something that went wrong with the Tie Defender factory or something like that... maybe a mistake made by the rebels themselves, as we know they infiltrated and sabotaged it already before. That would explain why we don't see Thrawn's Defenders later in the movies, even though they would have made a real difference in the war.
Elite spec ops vs two teenagers, an middle-aged mercenary, and a trash bin droid... man that plot armor sure is strong!
After rebels I want an animated series of the old old republic Jedi Vs Sith. How the force was discovered and who was the first person to use the force. Anyway I just think it would be cool to meet all these powerful characters.
I want more saw and 2tubes! We still have to find out how saw hurts himself right?
It's funny how only Dav mentions Saw's origin on Clone Wars, everyone else is like yea this character was created on Rogue One and nothing else.
Docta Cos That’s because those people probably never watched the Shows.
Indeed, those people are just missing so much... when I watched Rogue One for the first time, I had not paid too much attention to the trailers and other hints about it. So I was completely surprised when Saw's name appeared in the movie. I was like, wait, you've heard this name before anywhere... and when I got it and remembered Steela and all, it felt like a perfect circle of story telling art. They should really do these kind of crossings between the movies and other media more often.
Can't we have more than 2 questions answered? Moar!!
Great Episode I like Both Saw & Mon they approach Fighting The Empire Differently They Both Need 6 Inch Black Series Figures I would buy Them Both I support The Rebel Alliance /Resistance Im excited to see Rukh and My X-Wings I need my Kanan & Thrawn Focused Episodes Though

I doubt that anyone's gonna read this a month after the video was released, but just in case: the canonical translation of "May the Force be with you" into Russian is not "Пусть Сила будет с вами" but "Да пребудет с вами Сила". Andi, your T-shirt producer has underperformed, and you are too cool for tees with mistakes :)
yah think any ones told saw that his nemesis the droid kalani still functional considering he was the one who killed saws sister i think it would be an interesting story arc if the rebellion looking for experience or some insight into potential imperial super weapons which were started by the confederacy *cough* death star they attempt to seek him out only for saw to ambush them and take his vegance perhaps kalani is the reason why saw is mortally wounded in rogue one and has the robo legs
Next episode looks promising, also can we keep the 2 episode per week thing?
Much better than last episode
The Rebels disguises look like the attire of the Helmet Squad Criminals I had to arrest as a Bounty Hunter.
Super excited😝
When does season 3 and 4 come out on DVD in uk
I was wondering, will we see ANY more "Rogue One " characters on-screen AT ALL in Season 4, like Krennic, or Galen Erso?
Krennic might be the "Secret Villain" that has been hinted to close out this series, I think it will be Vader but you never know.
I'm wondering if we'll get another Saw-centric episode in which a younger Jyn Erso will show up.
Liked the editing
I was hoping we would learn how Saw lost his leg :(
Starting to doubt that Rebels will go that far
You mean a show aimed at little kids won't go as far as showing a man being violently maimed? Preposterous!!
Well clone wars went as far as showing someone getting their arm sliced off and showing the bone and muscle underneath (Savage Oppress). Not to mention all the other times they got "censored" for violence
Also its not like they have to show the whole thing, could be as simple as him being in an explosion and learning that he survived by seeing him wake up in a medical bay with a new leg and other injuries.
For how good (at times, at least) it was, TCW had the same content problems tha plagued the prequels: it couldn't decide whether it was aimed at children or adults. It wasn't as tone-deaf as the prequels, I'll give it that, but it still went from slapstick-comedic with JarJar to dark and violent with Maul and Oppress. And, fine: TCW was the product of a billionaire-gone-kook.
Rebels is made on a budget and is made to appeal to a younger audience (which is perfectly fine). Sure, there's always "something more that they could've done" but who cares, really? I like to think Saw is the way we see him in RO because he got mauled by Vader - it'll do fine, for me, as an explaination, until (if ever) they come up with something else.
