Does anyone else just ever think about Hera's paternal trauma?

...

because I sure do.

Sabine and Ezra are nonbinary mlm/wlw solidarity. They have matching shirts that say “dyed hair and pronouns” that they wear while painting together.

Some more Rebels rewatch discord comments 

Honestly hope I have enough space for all the screenshots lol

I have no idea if I did already tell or not, but I do not consider the Depa/Caleb Kaller TBB episode canon. Whatever people say, but Kanan’s backstory comes from the Kanan comics and Felony shouldn’t have retconned them. Anyway, fuck Maul. Cool character, but fuck him

I mean, I did bring this onto myself by having my yearly rewatch, but still.

I am so normal about Kanan <3

Kalluzeb got into yoga in their retirement

so I was in my yoga class and I got this sudden random thought that Kallus and Zeb probably tried yoga or some yoga-like Lasat practice on Lira San

and it's kinda funny like can you imagine Kallus in a tree pose not able to catch balance for his dear life (bc it's really harder than it looks like)

Love the way rebels emphasizes the importance of mutual aid. Love that fighting Imperials comes second to helping people. Love that every other episode is just the rebels fighting tooth and nail for scraps and then giving much of it away. I remember people complaining so much about the amount of 'filler episodes' about them just stopping for gas or whatever and first of all, those episodes are great I love watching spacefam go on fun side quests (during which they almost die a lot and have character exploration and often there's fun new characters yall just can't have fun), but more importantly what the fuck do you think a resistance movement is? They're trying to feed and supply an illegal fleet AND help the people suffering under the Empire AND physically fight the Empire for said supplies AND hide from the Empire bc they do not have the strength to fight for the sake of fighting yet. That's a logistical nightmare, yes they are going to be spending 90% of their time scrounging for supplies, and it's hard.

Kallus:

Kanera is the best ship in star wars. They beat han/Leia and Padme/ Anakin for me personally 😁

BESTIE SAME! Like something about Kanera just changed my brain chemistry. They are like the pinnacle of my existence now. Like, nothing can compete for me. I mean, I love all of Star Wars and all the ships ofc, but at this point when I say I'm a "star wars fan" I really just mean I'm in the sub fandom (Kanera) of a sub fandom (swr) lol😂

Kallus has actually slept with Lasat before but he’s nervous to admit it to Zeb.

S2x03 The Lost Commanders - S2x04 Relics of the Old Republic

So. Oof. These two episodes are- I love these two episodes, I do. They’re not my favourites but they are top 15. 

So. I really, really do not like how Ahsoka acts in this episode. I mean, I kind of get it, but also I really do not like it. It’s not that it’s bad character writing or just anything bad, but it’s more of Ahsoka’s actions in regards to Kanan. Literally, I have so many feelings about that first scene, but I do think that Angry Me ranting on discord can explain my feelings quite well. I will, of course, comment on that too.

Now, I know perfectly well that Ahsoka couldn’t know about anything that happened to Kanan, but she still knew that he survived Order 66 and that clones turned on him. If she’s smart, she might’ve gleaned that he was a Padawan and fighting in the Clone Wars - which means she knew that he wouldn’t have been alright with clones. And yet she sent them on their way and just told Kanan to “trust him”. Dick behaviour, I’m telling you.

So, about this. my memory might be faulty with regards to TCW, but I just watched today Tales of the Jedi, and Ahsoka has been shown to have kept contact with Bail Organa, and in Rebels she’s said to have lost contact with Rex, Wolffe and Gregor, which implies they had been keeping in contact up to a certain point. She was alone, but it was by choice, and that’s the core difference between how she lived Order 66 and how Kanan lived it. Ahsoka had support. Kanan only had himself. 

I have nothing against Ahsoka, really. She’s a good character. I just think this was a dick move.

I love that it shows in-canon that Kallus gets to co-pilot the Ghost with Hera a couple times. He even argues about whether he or Rex should pilot as though he was excited to do so.

But the first few times he was in the ship post-Atollon must have been....an experience.

He's so used to seeing the Ghost from the other side, through the viewport of a star destroyer and through the front of the tiny ship as it swooshes by.

He's studied the layout and engineering manual of this one ship that has caused him so many headaches so often that he should be able to rebuild it from memory.

But there were always things that didnt make sense like, why does it make that sound, why does it seem to jolt slightly when it turns to starboard, and what is that thing he keeps seeing in the cockpit viewport?

And then, oh and then..

He finally gets to inspect the ship from the inside, without threat of being knocked out by a suspiciously quiet lasat. (Hi Zeb)

And wishes he hadn't.

He realizes, to his growing horror, that the ship jolts because half the parts are second, third, even fourth hand, made for models of ships that no longer exist and welded in at odd angles.

The odd THING he always saw through the transparisteel was a chunk of a plastoid armor piece wedged into the stolen acceleration control in order to keep it from falling right out of the console.

And the sound, he sees upon opening an access panel, is one of the engines held in place by a well-packed layer of MILK CARTONS.

Hera: You okay Kal? You've been really quiet.

Kallus: *sheet white and holding co-pilot steering in a death grip*

Sometimes I get emotional about the fact that it was Kanan who recruited the other spectres.

Ezra was more of a joint decision between Hera and Kanan but it's explicitly stated that Kanan was the one to recruit Zeb and Sabine (legends of the lasat, sabine's sketchbook et al).

Like. He started out just wanting to follow Hera for the sake of the ride and her beautiful voice while she was the one with a mission and wanting to recruit. But then he finds Zeb and later Sabine and probably sees so much of himself in them and he's the one to bring them together.

Like I bet he wasn't that enthusiastic about the idea of recruiting others onto the Ghost. A New Dawn Kanan is still a loner, still hiding. He really likes Hera and feels a connection with her and she already knows he's a Jedi so there's nothing left to risk with her. But putting together a crew would be a Bit Much for him I think. Solid chance he was planning on leaving as soon as that idea ever came to fruition, as he still doesn't want to get too close to anyone and doesn't want to risk Hera's life if he were outed as a Jedi while living in tight quarters with strangers.

That is until he meets Zeb and Sabine and is instantly determined to keep them. Just knows that they are the right people and that he is the right person to help them. And it's after that that he knows he's found where's he's supposed to be and is never leaving the Ghost.

To make it funnier its also like he starts bringing new crew members back to Hera like a cat bringing in dead animals lolol

It just goes to show how much growth he went through between A New Dawn and Rebels that we never even witness bc there is zero material on it disney are you listening to me I want a media about this 5 years ago 👁👁
