I was thinking about my favorite episodes of Rebels since I watched all of it in about a month. I think my top 5 would be something like this: 1. Stealth Strike 2. The Honorable Ones 3. Call to Action 4. Siege of Lothal 5. Path of the Jedi/ Fire Across the Galaxy I really enjoyed Stealth Strike and I especially liked the ending of Call to Action since the rebels didn't actually "win" for a change (the whole episode was still very good). Kallus and Zeb were great along with pretty much everything else in The Honorable Ones. Siege of Lothal had a lot in it, such as Vader, which made it great. Fire Across the Galaxy was a good ending to the first season, and Path of the Jedi was pretty neat since we saw Ezra grow as he earned his lightsaber. Siege of Lothal is probably my favorite. My second favorite might be Future of the Force (you can't go wrong with Ahsoka kicking the Inquisitor's butts). Future of the Force was good too, might put that one in the number 5 spot. The final episodes of season 2 look to be very promising. I'm glad they haven't overdone Vader in this show. He should only appear to take out Ahsoka and possibly Maul. He doesn't really need to deal with the rebels personally since he has an entire empire to do that for him. |

It's pretty obvious that Temple Gaurd is the Grand Inquisitor from Season 1. The way he talks and moves gives it away. Then again this is a vision anyway.

Unless there are actually real temple guard cult like the cross guard we see I'm a bit hesitant about that because you can sort of see the Grand Inquisitor's head in the scene where they attack the Inquisitors. So that would mean that he's actually alive. While I wouldn't disregard him living (or him still being dead and the cult operating on its own), I'm leaning towards it being a vision. I think it would be really cool if they were real as well though. Maybe Kanan sees them in his vision and they lure him to their real life location? And they want to kill all jedi and sith, so they lure the Inquisitors there too? IDK. This will be a good episode. |

I think the real inquisitors will actually track them to the Lothal temple and will we see Vader come in at the very end |

So, just for fun, what do you think the new Inquisitors name will be? I'm going to guess Third Brother.

If I had to assume the Grand Inquisitor was the first brother and I'm not sure but I assume brother is a higher rank then sister even if there's two of the same number. I'm going to guess second brother, he will take charge of the other two |

Pretty sure the new inquisitor is female. You can tell at one point in the trailer when the inquisitor faces Ezra because you can see her breasts. (slightly, have to look for them lol) Also alien too like all the others. My guess is Fourth Sister.

Also Vader attacking Ezra in the trailer makes no sense. Why would he waste his time on Ezra? It has to be a vision.
And BTW, today is March 2. It's the third big episode with Ahsoka date. 2013: She leaves the order. 2015: She Returns to Star Wars on Rebels. 2016: More insight on what happened to her after The Wrong Jedi.

I think that scene's real. It's probably when he first arrives on Malachor in the finale. He attacks Ezra and gets ready to kill him, but then Ahsoka makes an epic entrance and tells Ezra to get out of there so she can fight Vader alone. Also, cool fact.  March 2nd should be Ahsoka Day. |

Wow awesome episode, by far the best of the show yet. This episode had a lot of depth to it. 10/10.
Anakin and Yoda where very cool to see, both of there models and voices where actually pretty good. Also anyone else notice Yoda was sitting on a log? Like he was on Dagobah with Luke.
Knew the Grand Inquisitor was a temple guard and I guess temple guards are actually real Jedi, he was a Jedi knight and I think Kanan is no longer a Padawan now.
We didn't see the 3rd inquisitor yet but I suspected Vader would show up at the end.
So Yoda is practically leading the Jedi to find Maul, he wants them to find him and knows they need assistance from him to win. Also very smart by Maul to go to Malachor, it is a planet that is strong in the dark side like Korriban, Sidious would not sense him there.

Yeah, it was definitely one of the best episodes of the series. All of the different visions were great, and it definitely seems like they're going to Malachor to recruit Maul for help.

My main problem was the Inquisitors though. They're just so... lame. Especially the Fifth Brother. In Future of the Force, even though he was shown as a total clutz in lightsaber combat, they at least showed that he had superior force abilities. But now in this episode he can't even sense them in the jedi temple (despite the Seventh Sister being able to). If the Seventh Sister is better than the Fifth Brother at everything and still sucks, then what's the point of the Fifth Brother? I liked him at first, but now he's really just dead weight. He can barely even fight Ezra. If anyone's dying in the finale other than Ahsoka, I bet it'll be the Fifth Brother because he's just redundant at this point.
This just sort of disappoints me because I really like the concept of the Inquisitors and I like it when they're portrayed as capable villains. It's just that they've almost never actually been portrayed as capable villains in the first place.

Yoda was probably on the log because he was actually just sitting down on Dagobah. I thought the Yoda model actually looked alright. It's gotten a lot of hate, and it's definitely extremely different from the Clone Wars model, but that one wasn't super accurate to the movies either. It's kind of ironic that Kanan gets knighted by one of his biggest enemies (Grand Inquisitor). |

Actually when I watched the movies again awhile back I think the Rebels model looks quite a bit like ROTS Yoda at least facial wise, the hair and body maybe not. Kanan kind of seemed mixed about him being a Jedi, I feel like he might have had the suspicion he was |

It looks like they're keeping to the previously established canon with Malachor, what we see in the trailer definitely looks like what was in the EU. Sith temple planet. |

They seem too over confident, they have no one keeping them in line now that the Grand Inquisitor died. He is the only competent inquisitor we have seen. Hopefully this new one takes charge a bit. I don't care for any of these inquisitors though however I did like the grand inquisitor |

So since Kanan is now a Jedi knight, I wonder if he will stop keeping his hair like that in the back. His little bun is almost like a Padawan braid just less obvious for the time era I guess.
Maybe he will be the first to get a new model next season

There's this interesting clip with Maul and Ezra in which Ezra force chokes the Seventh sister.

Maybe he will be the first to get a new model next season I think I remembered reading somewhere that Ezra would get a new model next season. I think it came from Taylor Gray (his voice actor). He said he started making Ezra's voice deeper, and that he'd get a new lightsaber and have shorter hair. There's this interesting clip with Maul and Ezra in which Ezra force chokes the Seventh sister. God damn.  That looked awesome. That 3 seconds of Maul already looked perfectly in character for him. |

Um... Well not a bad episode. Music was probably best so far but idk I feel like it could've been better... Kanan fighting the temple guards was kind of pointless/weird... And in the end he was knighted... But does it even count since it was just a vision.... And are those inquisitors dead now.... How could they be killed by unreal temple guards...... Like I suppose they can do crazy shit with the force but it'd make sense if it was someone like Qui-Gon who can do Force ghost stuff. I doubt the Grand Inquisitor could achieve that.....
But anyway moving on from that stuff which doesn't make any sense to me, Anakin was nice to see again. Ahsoka's vision was really cool but a little shorter than expected. However making it super long wouldn't be good either so..
The Jedi symbol on Anakin's torso was unnecessary though. His model was already inaccurate but it wasn't a big deal but adding the symbol made it worse... No one would wear that anyway lol... Whatever about Yoda's model my explanation for it is that's how Ezra imagines he looks
Honestly IMO this episode didn't make a whole lot of sense.... It was different which made me like it (first episode in a while that didn't start with a Ghost shot) but it was kinda weird like I said....

Not gonna lie, I don't think I like Rebels anymore..... Lol. I dont remember any episode being "good" (I don't remember Siege of Lothal) this season. Enjoyable? Sure, but it's because it's Star Wars..
If they just did some arcs they could have some good stories/episodes... I guess they've done a couple 2-3 parters but they're still not that good..... They take a lot of stuff from TCW except its good stories it seems...

That model of Anakin was actually a clone wars design, the outfit at least. And the clones wore stuff just like that. It was a training outfit. Vader takes up all the budget with his cape. And Anakins head was actually not too bad. The inquisitors didn't die they where at the end, it was a vision. |

I feel the opposite I look back on TCW now and see that a lot of the arcs where pretty boring or just pointless, everything here flows together pretty nicely. I hate when everything is arcs that is though, because every clone wars season had like 2-3 bad/ mediocre arcs |

March 2nd should be Ahsoka Day.
That looked awesome. That 3 seconds of Maul already looked perfectly in character for him.

it’s been quite a while. I’ve been pretty good, how about yourself?
