You might enjoy Light of the Jedi from the new High Republic series, that's one of the focuses of the story. Not specifically different names for the Force, but definitely different interpretations; EG: one hears the Force as music, another sees it as a bright flame while yet another sees it as a rolling ocean. Each interpretation results in a completely different way of seeing the galaxy and reacting to their surroundings.
@@thedarkknight2221 Nice, you're in for a great read! It dethroned everything else and became my favorite Star Wars book haha. As for the second part of your comment, I absolutely love the sequels but I really do hope we get some High Republic movies/shows! I know The Acolyte is set during that era but I don't know what it'll focus on. I just want to see Jedi as the noble knights that we all imagined when Obi-Wan described them in ANH!
10:35 is one of my favorite moments on the show. No words exchanged, but Kanan and Ezra knew that Zeb was tapping into the power of the Force, so they decided to help him. This episode definitely stuck out in my mind the first time I watched the show. I remember being so worried that Kallus would figure out how they did it and because he also had a staff, he would be able to take the Empire there...
I always love when we get Star Wars stories where we learn about other species/cultures using the Force. Another reason why I love Fallen Order. Also, this was kinda similar to when Yoda went to the center of the galaxy during his Force spirt training, letting the Force guide you through a cosmic cloud/storm.
I think Hondo would be True Neutral on the alignment chart. He is purely on his own side, for the better or worse of others, so long as he's constantly hustling for more money. He's equal parts honorable and chaotic whenever he wants to be.
I love the range in this episode, from Hondo being his instant-classic self to Zeb's memories to use of the Ashla (and one of Kevin Kiner's most memorable pieces). The language of the prophecy is interesting to think about, even applied elsewhere in Star Wars, e.g. Grogu as the Child saving Din the Warrior, or Din as a Child of the Watch and also a Fool denying what may be his destiny with the Darksaber.
I don't believe that "fillers" can't be 10. It was not completely filler, but when you compare it to the overall season, it feels "filler" in contrast to other eipsodes( and also seeing what it adds to the rebels itself, and *spoiler* it doesn't affect anything after this. I also hated at first when people called it filler, but now I feel it kinda is
One of the things most people underapreciate about Rebels are the Visuals, while a bit Choppy in Season 1, it was still descent, and the Visuals really leaped in Quality in Season 2, the Star Cluster is still a one of the best Pieces of Art to come out in all of Star Wars Animation
The art design is hideous. That is a fact. The choices made with character models and the way things are lit is just bad. And the obvious "Here's a toy" aesthetic is just off-putting.
The Lasat are one of my favourite Star Wars species along side the Twi'Lek, the Chiss, the Humans, the Sith, the Arkanian Offshoots, the Miraluka and the Selkath.
Zeb is one of my favorite characters in this show so I really loved this episode. I also love how it slightly expands the lore of hyperspace and the nature of the galaxy.
Also in the Ahsoka novel by EK Johnston, one year after Order 66 Ahsoka lives in hiding under the name “Ashla” There’s also a Togruta youngling in Attack of the Clones named Ashla
This was a really cool episode, one of my favourites so far. I liked the plot and then Hondo is always so fun. I liked Ezra's instant reply of "So don't fail them now." Effective.
TBF with the introduction of the Chiss Skywalker's and the hyperspace prospectors in the high republic this episode has even more depth and meaning now
Surprising how this episode sets up future stories for final few episodes of series, from imprisoned hondo being inadvertently rescued from Empire which results in hondo helping Ezra in final battle to free lothal from grip of Empire, to Zeb taking Kallas (Destroyer of Lasan) to live with remaining lasats on Lira San in epilogue.. Another classic case of nothing is guaranteed filler with Filoni hand print on it.
I immediately loved this episode. It seems like the exodus of the Lasat from Lira-San happened so long ago that the knowledge of it has passed into myth. The Lasat seem to interact with the Force much differently than the Sith or the Jedi, and they probably originally left Lira-San using ships guided by the Force (maybe even using ships designed and constructed to be guided by the Force).
Been waiting for this Zeb episode! When they put the focus on him,some of the best Ghost crew-centric episodes take shape. The music is outstanding, Kevin Kiner killed it!
Grey Griffin aka Grey Delisle is a hugely prolific voice actor, you definitely know her work; one of her most iconic roles is as Azula from Avatar: The Last Airbender
I remember the whole sequence, especially with the music, made me unexpectedly tear up when it first premiered. It reminded me of the movie The Fountain. Especially what with the music. It was very special. Definitely one of my favorites from Rebels.
you know, I just realized something.... Hondo follows the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition really well whenever we see him.... specifically, rules 9, 10, 13, 17, 20, 21 and 100.
How is Andor getting a show and they aren't making a Hondo show?? haha I really hope he has a part in Rangers. That show will really hit if they use Hera, Hondo and Chopper
Grey Griffin you might know better as Grey Delisle. She also voiced Asajj Ventress, as well as a voice acting resume about a mile long with characters as diverse as Azula from Avatar, Vicky from Fairly Oddparents, and Emily Elizabeth from Clifford the Big Red Dog
"(The fool, simple and selfish) leads (the warrior, bold and bloodthirsty) to destroy (the child, the hope of tomorrow)." I'll just play around with a few scenarios: "Darth Sidious leads Darth Vader to destroy Luke." "Darth Plagueis leads Darth Sidious to destroy Anakin." "Yoda leads Anakin to destroy Ahsoka." "Qui-Gon leads Obi-Wan to destroy Anakin." "Padmé leads Obi-Wan to destroy Luke."
Considering that this series is for Rick and Calvin's reactions, maybe you should just postpone an episode when one of them can't show? To be honest, this video is about 2/3 non-spoiler commentary and about 1/3 reaction, looking at who's in the video. Just a thought...
Hondo is only truly for himself. That, by 5e alignment definitions, is evil. He doesn't give a crap about law, rules, or authority. That, by definition, is chaotic. Hondo is chaotic evil. Hondo is the perfect example of a likable chaotic evil character that you can deal with.
No, he's chaotic neutral because whether he does evil or good things, his motivation is always besides that. he only cares about making profit, therefore it is not about doing either good or bad. He's chaotic neutral.
@@LeChaunce It seems more to me that you're missing the entire point and development of Hondo's character. I'm really not gonna say anything else more on this. Differing opinions are just that.
@@LeChaunce but evil and selfish are completely different things. You can be legally selfish, you can't be legally evil, because any evil act is a crime.
Can you react to the fan film by Heroes fans productions the fan film is called "the last Skywalker" it is really cool and I thought you might like it.

Kevin Kiner was flexing on us with the score for this episode
*GIVE THE KINER AN OSCAR!*
He was definitely waiting for this episode to be special.
Dave Filoni really said 2nd season and onward was Kiner's time to shine.
Heck yeah
Oddly one of my favorite things about this episode is how The Force is called and treated differently by different races and cultures of the Galaxy.

@@jakobfel2 Acolyte should be at the end of The High Republic
Kallus being the warrior has so much meaning coming back to this episode
Indeed.
OMGoodness I never realized that!
The fact it immediately cut to him is very good foreshadowing
And Hando was the fool, think about it.

I wonder if the Zeffo will still have some sort of future in canon.
The Chiss call that Skywalking 🙂
@@mathies3598 I hope so!
I think Hondo would be True Neutral on the alignment chart. He is purely on his own side, for the better or worse of others, so long as he's constantly hustling for more money. He's equal parts honorable and chaotic whenever he wants to be.
I'd say he's more of a chaotic neutral whereas the Bendu is true neutral
@@PANZERFAUST322 Agreed. Hondo be the Jack Sparrow of star wars
@@lord2.0works I mean they’re both pirates
The Music in this Episode was Amazing, "Journey Into the Star Cluster" still gives me Chills
that entire sequence gives me massive Battlestar Galactica vibes. especially the whole nebula sequence with Starbuck's drawing and the music etc.
@@mertyol yeah, this is definitely Star Wars channeling Battlestar
Absolutely. I get goosebumps every time I hear it and thats part of the reason why this is one of my favorite Rebels episode.

It's a good episode. A bit fillery, but 10/10

@@FlexyCrash This episode's events to come up again in the series finale and the overall episode is character development for Zeb.
@@FlexyCrash I am so sick of the word "filler", my god...
Journey into the Star Cluster is such a beautiful track
And now we got "Escaping the Eye"

@@ChrisB-pw5sy highly disagree but hey, you do you
Zeb being the child that is foreseen to save the warrior (Kallus) is a foreshadowing I definitely didn’t get the first few times watching
Such an underrated sequence! The music is amazing.
I remember being mind blown by this episode, I’m still awed by it.
The Lasat are one of my favourite Star Wars species along side the Twi'Lek, the Chiss, the Humans, the Sith, the Arkanian Offshoots, the Miraluka and the Selkath.
Are you an Academy Award inside a golden globe?
the sith arent exactly a species...
@@saileshnaidu8102 Yes they are. But they're extinct.
@@saileshnaidu8102 sith race was a thing. Old Republic stuff. Pretty dope
The shot when they are about to enter the maze is my favorite of all Rebels. Just haunting
Hondo is the BEST! His shenanigans always make we wheeze with laughter.
Zeb is one of my favorite characters in this show so I really loved this episode. I also love how it slightly expands the lore of hyperspace and the nature of the galaxy.
Also in the Ahsoka novel by EK Johnston, one year after Order 66 Ahsoka lives in hiding under the name “Ashla”
There’s also a Togruta youngling in Attack of the Clones named Ashla
Ashla was the original name for Ahsoka as well before they decided fo change it to Ahsoka.
If we ever get another animated character in the live action series, I sincerely hope it’s Hondo
Yes indeed!!! I wonder who would make a good Hondo? 🤔
This was a really cool episode, one of my favourites so far. I liked the plot and then Hondo is always so fun. I liked Ezra's instant reply of "So don't fail them now." Effective.
TBF with the introduction of the Chiss Skywalker's and the hyperspace prospectors in the high republic this episode has even more depth and meaning now
Journey into the Star Cluster is by far the most unique SW score. Love it
Surprising how this episode sets up future stories for final few episodes of series, from imprisoned hondo being inadvertently rescued from Empire which results in hondo helping Ezra in final battle to free lothal from grip of Empire, to Zeb taking Kallas (Destroyer of Lasan) to live with remaining lasats on Lira San in epilogue..

Characters like Hondo are why out-of-the-box alignments like "Chaotic Lawful" and "Chaotic bored" are a thing.
Or Chaotic profit.
@@JIKwood there we go.
Been waiting for this Zeb episode! When they put the focus on him,some of the best Ghost crew-centric episodes take shape. The music is outstanding, Kevin Kiner killed it!
Grey DeLisle-Griffin also voices Azula in ATLA as well as many other animated and video game characters
She also voiced CG-67 in the Bad Batch (the episode on Pantora).
Into the star cluster is one of my favorite scores.
Grey Griffin aka Grey Delisle is a hugely prolific voice actor, you definitely know her work; one of her most iconic roles is as Azula from Avatar: The Last Airbender
13:12 "Try to get paid as much as possible. Try to not pay as much as possible."
So basically Hondo is Space Trump.
I can’t wait till we get to the honorable ones!
That sequence was so cool to me as a kid
The music in this episode reminds me of the Battlestar Galactica remake, it's so damn good.
I remember the whole sequence, especially with the music, made me unexpectedly tear up when it first premiered. It reminded me of the movie The Fountain. Especially what with the music. It was very special. Definitely one of my favorites from Rebels.
A culture not revolving around the force, and a scene only Dave Filoni and crew could pull off.
How does Dave not have his own company?
the more times I watch this episode the more I like it
This is easily one of the best episodes in the entire series.
This episode made me cry with hype with the music and the nebula was amazing
SILENCE, EVERYONE BE QUIET SO WE CAN APPRECIATE "JOURNEY INTO THE STAR CLUSTER" BETTER
I just noticed that the guy who voiced Gron is the same one who voiced Kragan Gorr in Star Wars resistance.
you know, I just realized something.... Hondo follows the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition really well whenever we see him.... specifically, rules 9, 10, 13, 17, 20, 21 and 100.
Yet another great episode
One of my favourite episodes for sure!
We're getting close to the season 2 finale 👀
Yeah. 8 more episodes
Thanks, Eric! Thanks, Rick! Thanks, Aaron! 🌠
the only thing i didnt like about this episode is we didnt get to see the planet,but that whole sequence with the music was so good.
I do love this ep very much
at least Dave is consistent. feels similar to the Night Sisters in Ahsoka originally being from outside the galaxy and that storyline
How is Andor getting a show and they aren't making a Hondo show?? haha I really hope he has a part in Rangers. That show will really hit if they use Hera, Hondo and Chopper
Rangers has supposedly been cancelled
@@jameswg13 not cancelled (at least not yet) just put on hold, most likely due to the firing of Gina Carano.
Grey Griffin you might know better as Grey Delisle. She also voiced Asajj Ventress, as well as a voice acting resume about a mile long with characters as diverse as Azula from Avatar, Vicky from Fairly Oddparents, and Emily Elizabeth from Clifford the Big Red Dog
Puts one in mind of the latest Star Wars game. (No spoilers!)
Damn Calvin loves Hondo, would have loved his reaction, of well. Next time
Someday Zeb is going to take Kallus there, and he will be welcomed as one of them.
"(The fool, simple and selfish) leads (the warrior, bold and bloodthirsty) to destroy (the child, the hope of tomorrow)."
I'll just play around with a few scenarios:
"Darth Sidious leads Darth Vader to destroy Luke."
"Darth Plagueis leads Darth Sidious to destroy Anakin."
"Yoda leads Anakin to destroy Ahsoka."
"Qui-Gon leads Obi-Wan to destroy Anakin."
"Padmé leads Obi-Wan to destroy Luke."
Spoilers for later in Rebels:
Maybe Sabine (indirectly) leading Bo-Katan to Din?
@@zephyr835 I had another idea!
"Ezra leads Darth Vader to destroy Ashoka."
Hando is the the worst pirate I've ever seen, but I have heard of him
Considering that this series is for Rick and Calvin's reactions, maybe you should just postpone an episode when one of them can't show? To be honest, this video is about 2/3 non-spoiler commentary and about 1/3 reaction, looking at who's in the video.
Just a thought...
Grey Griffin? You mean Azula? Its a shame her IMDB front page doesnt show Avatar at all, and she has done like 600 shows so its hard to find it.
Why does Rick sit all the way in the back? He looks tiny 😂
The music around the time where Zeb starts guiding them reminded me of Shin Godzilla's them when he destroys Tokyo

@@LeChaunce but evil and selfish are completely different things. You can be legally selfish, you can't be legally evil, because any evil act is a crime.

Can you react to the fan film by Heroes fans productions the fan film is called "the last Skywalker" it is really cool and I thought you might like it.
I’m waiting for 2 ep 17
Do a Masters of the Universe: Revelation reaction. PLEASE!
His species Lasat can be force sensitive Eric - Jedi fallen order? His master Jaro Tapal, that was killed in oder 66 was a Lasat.
After this bad batch
The shot when they are about to enter the maze is my favorite of all Rebels. Just haunting
