Zeb in Mando definitely felt like a test drive to make sure people didn't think he looked like *****

It's not like you have to have his full rendered face in every single shot. It can be a practical mask / guy in suit for everything else.

He's Ezra's closest friend on the crew, although Ezra is proactively trying to bone Sabine for the first few seasons. I wonder if they'll put some romance between the two of them when they meet back up now that Ezra is a grownup?

Bruh...Sabine was for sure feelin' it when Ezra was about to peace out.

Yep, he definitely has earned some "thanks for saving lothaal" sex when they meet again.

All the episodes of Ahsoka are written by Filoni. In other words, I don't think we'll have to worry too much about bad writing.

As long as Kathleen Kennedy didn't exercise her editorial talents.

Happy Chopper Day to all who celebrate.

It was on November 13, 2020, that Ahoska Tano's name was spoken into real-live Star Wars action by my girl Bo-Katan Kryze at the end of Chapter 11: The Heiress.

Two episodes later, we got Rosario Dawson embodying Anakin Skywalker's former Padawan like a boss, spinning two lightsabers, making tears well up in our eyes with her heavy-hearted reference to what strong attachment can do to a Jedi, "to the best of us." and ultimately sending Mando and Grogu off to meet Boba Fett, and ultimately Luke Mother****ing Skywalker.

And as gorgeous as all that was, the real moment of her episode that suggested that the best was possibly yet to come came late in the game, when she disarmed and defeated Morgan Elsbeth in 1:1 combat and uttered those five words I never thought I would hear outside of a book or an animated show.

WHERE IS GRAND ADMIRAL THRAWN?

I took about 3 months off Texags earlier this year to handle some legal business, but throughout those days, I have looked forward to being on this thread on this day to talk about this show and celebrate the wonderful world of Rebels and the EU that spawned the legendary Chiss outcast known as Mitth'raw'nuruodo more than 30 years ago.

There are a few of you guys who I've been talking about Rebels with for almost a decade, and who like me read through every book (for good or terrible) for the last 3 decades. So excited to be able to share this show and this journey with everyone.

I leave you with my favorite Star Wars reactors (Jay and Adam) response to Ahoska mention Thrawn almost 4 years ago - NSFW - which accurately sums up my emotional state 8 hours before the premiere.

I need a Chopper war crime.

I am going to watch the 30 minute ScreenCrush video.

I still haven't gotten around to Mando S3 given the mixed reviews and other priorities. Do I need to watch it prior to starting Ahsoka?

Ahsoka cuts Grogu's head off in the first episode, but otherwise you are fine.

Just FYI, no need for spoiler tags. In almost all TV threads, save for binge drops, if an episode has started airing it's fair game.

Some George Lucas Raiders of the Lost Ark influence in Ep 1.
