Kanan was the living epitome of a perfect Jedi. Protected the weak and innocent, adhered to the Jedi Code, trained a Padawan in the ways of the force, combatted the Sith and fought injustice wherever he saw it. He even realized something the Jedi Order never could. That compassion and love were a Jedi's greatest strength. His love for Hera only fueled his connection to the Force. The complete opposite of what love did to Anakin. Caleb Dume truly was a Jedi Master.
Kanan is starting to become my favorite Jedi just cause he has more character development than any other maybe next to Ashoka, he really was a true Jedi and better than most of them, he wasn’t a Jedi master when he trained Ezra but he was a damn good master and did a good job for what he could do
He became one with the force, allowing him to possess an insane amount of power. However, he essentially cast away his body during the process and became a ghost. It’s why his sight returned, because his body was gone. The explosion didn’t kill him. He was already dead.
Everyone lost something here The imperials lost the fight Kanan lost his life Sabine lost a friend Hera lost the love of her life And Ezra lost a father
Bionic_Spider Rose didn't want Finn to sacrifice himself needlessly, destroying the battle ram wouldn't stop the First Order, they would of made it through the gate anyway.
4 years later and this is STILL among one of the saddest moments in the ENTIRE Star Wars franchise! Kanan was truly among the best there ever was, and that’s why his death cut everyone so deep!
@@MrAthlete128 this is one of those moments where it will NEVER stop being a full-on tearjerker. There’s a few moments throughout numerous franchises, including Star Wars, that I’ve “become numb” to, or don’t get so emotional as I used to, but there’s some that never fail to make me bawl my eyes out even if I just had “the best day ever”
i cried cried cried when this force holding back an explosion was used in Mando, just because it entirely evoked this scene, my gf who I watch mando with is still working on clone wars so I came off a little looney because I couldn't exactly explain the context without spoilers... but this scene hits too hard its soo good.
The amount of power that Kanan displays here, holding back a massive detonation, healing his blindness, pushing his team clear of the blast, not many Jedi become one with the force before their death. Kanan's sheer will to save the ones he loved allowed him to in his final moments I think.
The greatest strength of darkness is hatred. Yoda's folley was giving into his fear that, by encouraging love, jedi would fall through it to the dark. And he was right, he prevented many dark side falls for hundreds of years. But he also cut off the Jedi from their greatest source of strength, that the light side is fuelled most by a selfless love for others. There is no greater selfless love than to sacrifice oneself for the innocent. That is why Kanan was able to hold back this blast, why Luke was able to defeat Vader, why Obi-Wan was able to escape those crushing rocks. They were fighting to save an innocent. In that moment, the force will show to a jedi new ways to focus their powers that will make them... Invincible.
@@icedreamer9629the ones they protect do not need to be innocent, because no one truly is. I would say they exist even more to protect the defenseless and powerless against any and all tyranny and prejudice. It goes without saying that this is a lofty goal and there aren’t enough Jedi to ensure the well-being of every being in the galaxy, but it is what they strive towards.
There’s a theory I quite like. That Kanan was granted far greater power in the force in order to hold back the explosion as long as he did. This is kinda an example of the Force itself granting kanan not only the power to save those who he loved but to see Hera one last time.❤😭
This was when rebels matched clone wars id say. The first time it truly was able to be like clone wars with the darkness and effect it has on the charcters
@@hellothere-bx8cf totally agree mate. Rebels took too long deciding what it wanted to be leading to a very fragmented plot. Once it got kicking in season 4 it was powerful.
In my opinion, Kanan Jarrus best embodies the Jedi ideology stripped of all its hubris and dogma. A truly noble example of what the Jedi should aspire to be.
He's the Lawful Good Paladin that everyone pretends isn't possible, making fun of the entire concept because they've never actually seen a man of integrity and selflessness in person.
Tom McDaniel wait there was a star wars rebels episode where the ghost crew ran into whales in space that could travel through hyperspace. Kanan's eyes turned the color of the whales eyes when Ezra looked into them.
The look of horror on Herra’s face after Kanan pushed her back into the drop ship was so well done. I felt so sorry for her in that moment cuz she’s suddenly realizing what’s about to happen and she knows she can’t stop it. All moments after she (finally) just opened her heart to him fully.
Kanan was truly a great fighter. He even survived a fight with Darth Vader, something that an entire _room_ full of Jedi way younger than him couldn't do.
Something that made this hit harder for me than most deaths in TV is that they played off a common trope in the show. Throughout Rebels they’d have a character get captured and then rescued and it’d all be light hearted fun. So I went into this with that subconscious expectation, it’d was even proven right when Ezra and Sabine got to Hera and Kanan, and then the order was given, and it just hit me right in my heart, especially after this when the credits rolled and the music kept playing while ashes fell in the background. This is one of, if not the most heartbreaking deaths in all of Star Wars
As devastating as this is, I was happy at least that Kanan got to see Hera with his very own eyes one last time. I remember a few days before this episode aired thinking “if Kanan absolutely has to die, then please let him be able to see the woman he loves one last time.” I’m thankful I got that wish.
Kinda reminds me of Anakin's death. He got to see his son with his own eyes before becoming one with the Force. And Kanan got to see Hera with his own eyes before death as well. Kinda ironic
It's moments like this that give proof to Yoda's words that the dark side is not stronger. The Jedi were decimated, manipulated and vilified, the very balance of the force turned against them, and it only took a handful of Jedi to undo a thousand years of sith planning through inspiring self sacrifice to remind billions of what they stand for.
You know I never thought about it that way but you’re so right. Yeah the Jedi lost horribly. But it took tens of thousands of years for the Sith to beat the Jedi. And the Jedi managed to topple the sith within like 20 years. Speaks to the power of the light.
There are 19 years between ROTS, and (the original) SW/ANH. Then add in 4 years to the end of ROTJ. Sideous only had an empire for 23 years, then was killed.
The music always gets me. The soundtrack conveys the power of the force the vocals conveying the theme of loss and the ascendency and ultimate sacrifice of Kanan
When the eyes turned real again, everything hit me. His visions. his life. His journey. All these last four year Kanan has been here, and now, the one time he was he had to sacrifice himself. But in doing so, he got to look upon Hera. one. final. time. RIP Caleb. you will be missed.
Star Commander I wonder if he's gonna throw her out the airlock in space because he lost that piece of art,plus the loss of life on Baton and the fuel yeah she left Hera really alone...Mann....she's in serious trouble..
What Pryce did is worse than you realize. A single TIE Defender has been shown to be a serious threat to an entire Rebel squadron. Dedicating enough resources into their production and development would strengthen the entire Imperial Navy and make them vastly superior to the Rebels and their X-Wings. But thanks to Pryce's overzealous attempts to kill the Rebels she has inadvertently sabotaged the entire program just as the Emperor is in the process of deciding whether to keep putting resources into it or put everything into the Death Star project that Galen Erso is currently sabotaging. The Empire is subsequently going to go back to its strategy of quantity over quality, which will ultimately make them weak enough for the Rebels and their often old but superior quality equipment to defeat. So basically Pryce in her selfishness might be directly responsible for DOOMING the Empire in this single moment!
I think Ezra will get answers about her next week when he goes to the Jedi Temple! I bet they won't show her much though, just enough for us to feel satisfied. I've missed Lady Tano
Kanen Jarrus was one of the last of the Jedi Younglings who survived the Jedi Purge, and he will always be remembered by the galent effort to train Ezra Bridger..
Hit me hard. Grown man who hadn’t cried since watching Hachi(the movie) but what Kanan knew going into the moment and how he regained his sight to see her one last time broke my heart into a million pieces. I recently watched Star Wars:Rebels again as Ahsoka the series approaches…and again, cue the waterworks.
I loved kanan he was one of my favorite rebels characters, he taught me so much about the Jedi and even stuff I never knew or skimmed over. I even went out of my way to get his lightsaber at Wal-Mart and I just got it a couple weeks ago. Now he's gone rip kanan jarrus, Jedi knight you will be missed
One final detail which makes this scene so devastating is that Kanan is using Tutaminus to block the explosion; that is an ability only Jedi Grandmasters should be capable of! His love for his family, especially Hera, allowed him to become extremely powerful but it wasn't enough to save him.
See, this is why the Order’s no attachment rule was a mistake. Kanan’s love for Hera and his friends made him a better Jedi. And Luke’s attachment to his father also made him a better Jedi. The same feelings made Anakin better in the end as it helped him finally reject the dark side.
This really was the saddest scene in the entire series especially since his own son will never know him only know what those around him including his mother say
Rewatching this scene and the scene where he gets “knighted” by the high inquisitor made me think about what it means to be a Jedi. In the republic days, Padawans had to pass the trials and it was a very structured process with rules. Luke becomes a Jedi through his perseverance and staying true to the light side in the face of darkness. I like the idea that Kanan becomes a Jedi master through his deeds and his heart rather than passing a test. He was a true Jedi.
I like that when Kanan gets his sight back he sees Hera. But he also gets to see Ezra. And in that moment. They were worth dying for. And god damn does that make me weep.😭
The shot at 1:38 where it shows his face concentrating with all his strength and focus with the fire blazing around him has got to be one of the coolest moments in Star Wars
I’ll never forget when I saw this live. I had just lost my grandmother 9 days earlier and then I had to watch one of my top 3 favorite characters get killed off!?! Talk about salt in the wound!!!!!
Usually, when you expect someone to die from the very beginning of a show, it takes away the impact of the death when it finally happens. That was not the case here. I felt every second of this scene.
Kanan’s death remains one of the most impactful in Star Wars and fiction in general, to me, for a few reasons. The first, was the sense of invincibility that Rebels gave the Ghost Crew. Up until this point: the crew had survived so much. They came out with scars, physical or mental, but they always survived. So, surely Kanan would survive, right? This episode shattered that illusion. It showed now that every main character had a chance of dying in the final episodes. The second, was the impact. Kanan’s sacrifice had both an impact on his friends and family, and the Empire. To the surviving Ghost Crew: we watch them grieve in their own ways. Kanan’s death impacts Hera’s decision making and makes her hesitate sending Ezra and Sabine into the Imperial camp. As for the Empire: We watch Governor Pryce throw a celebration for the death of Jedi…only to cover up her failure in destroying the fuel pods meant for the Tie-Defender project, Thrawn’s project. Hell, even The Emperor felt some form of change in the force when Kanan died. And lastly: Kanan’s death mattered. In many forms of fiction, we see character deaths written as some form of cheap suspense with no real impact other than to keep the viewers on their toes. That was not the case for Kanan. His death pushed Rebels into the climax, it gave the Ghost crew the victory they needed over Thrawn, and his sacrifice had a lasting impact on the survivors and the audience.
Kanan came full circle. From the Jedi Caleb Dume to the scoundrel Kanan Jarrus. At the end he becomes Caleb Dume again and returns to his former self and truly becomes a jedi once again before becoming one with the force itself.
I grew up in the 90s with all the sourcebooks and then got addicted to Wookieepedia later, so I kinda was conditioned to be a stickler for all the strict rules of how everything worked in the Star Wars universe… … the moment the force just granted Kanan his eyesight back in his final moments so he could lock eyes with the woman he loved with no explanation of how made me finally realize none of that shit mattered 😢
The only way they could have killed Kanan is with a 50+ megaton nuclear explosion. And they did. No way they could have taken him down as a Jedi in battle.
Kanan was my favourite character in Star Wars Rebels and he has been one of my all time favourites! I always hoped he would go out sacrificing himself for Hera and I’m glad he did! I already miss him but the force is with him! Rest In Peace Kanan, you are an amazing Jedi, one of the best the Galaxy had! ❤️❤️❤️
As someone who didn't like Rebels simply because I hadn't watched it, I bet most people who hate it also haven't watched it. I was in the target demographic for Rebels back during the original Prequel trilogy, so by the time Rebels came out (or even Clone Wars), I was busy adulting and hadn't given it a shot. But now that it's all on Disney+, I've been binge-watching it before I catch Ahsoka and have been having a blast. Just like Kanan! (too soon? I was raised on half a lifetime of Younglings jokes...)
@@SomeTH-camTraveler that last part got me 💀 Im assuming we are around the same age, I just turned 27 a couple days ago, I too am a child of the prequels. And did the same with clone wars, but as for rebels, when Disney bought star wars, and started season 1, my dad was watching it and recommended it right when season 1 ended, so we wer watching as they came out
@@LordTreeko Dark humor all the way! haha. I'd like to say that Kanan proved himself a great Jedi when he survived a fight with Darth Vader, something that an entire _room_ full of Jedi couldn't do in the movies.......... XD Yep, I'm 33, so my dad had showed me the original trilogy when I was like 8 or 9 (he was a teenager when they first came out) and then I was 10 or 11 when Phantom Menace came out. Star Wars toys and legos every Christmas, lol. Glad to hear you and your dad have been able to bond over it as well!
I saw this coming form the mid-season trailer the big loth-wolf is kanan and the only way for that to happen was he had to be dead. Now this brings an interesting part to the rest o the season kanan guided Ezra in the physical world for the first few seasons, now he has to do it has a sort of “force-being” like obi-wan did for Luke throughout episode 4,5, and 6
True Title: Kanan Becomes One With The Force. ✨He never died. He merged WITH THE FORCE. Regular guys die. Great Jedi become ONE. ✨ Like Great Masters Yoda, QuiGonnJin, ObiWon, Anakin... and the List Goes ON. 🤫✨🤚🏻✨
What makes this hit so much harder than it would have, was the force giving Kanan his sight back in those last moments so he could look at his family and Hera, one last time.
I think that's what the peak in the ost vocals is supposed to represent, so it's still basically there If you ask me, keeping the scene silent was the best thing they could have done to make it all the more tragic and emotionally impactful

S.R. Morton you could’ve have said that any better! So true, and that’s what made Kanan great!
Kanan’s only flaw was that he couldn’t prepare the others for his death
Sad that his son will never know him
Dume an Obi Wan, the two perfect Jedi .

I can't believe this he got his eyesight back just to lose it. At least he got to see her one last time.
He was becoming one with the force.
Its kinda like what like did before he died. Fully connected himself to the force for a greater power. He probably would have died after this anyway
he tapped into the cosmic force most likely. if he would’ve survived he wouldve died like luke did in the sequels

To die protecting the ones you love, there is no greater sacrifice! Be one with the Force, Caleb Dume.

Rose would say otherwise

Kanan and Hera, the purest love in SW. They are what Anakin and Padmé should have been, but Anakin was too possessive and got jealous immediately.
Indeed, if you notice though you will see that Kanan almost became posessive before seeing the wolves

Roza Knyazeva how were his eyes back?
Kaseem Smith I think that he used the Force so much that he completely recovered from his blindness
In my opinion, Kanan Jarrus best embodies the Jedi ideology stripped of all its hubris and dogma. A truly noble example of what the Jedi should aspire to be.
Amen to that
He went out like Yareel Poof. Sacrificing himself so that others may live.
He would've been a good master in Luke new order if he'd been there to see it.
He's the Lawful Good Paladin that everyone pretends isn't possible, making fun of the entire concept because they've never actually seen a man of integrity and selflessness in person.
It's why he was able to interact well with the Bendu
Truly a sad and heroic sacrifice and when he got his eyesight back made me choked up.
Tom McDaniel I was shocked when it came back. I actually forgot he has blue eyes
Tom McDaniel wait there was a star wars rebels episode where the ghost crew ran into whales in space that could travel through hyperspace. Kanan's eyes turned the color of the whales eyes when Ezra looked into them.

I'm with you non that I thought he would die by Vader but not like this
Personally, I thought it would have happened at the very beginning of season 4. All the same, I knew it would happen
I admit, I cried. Until I realized he’s a giant fucking wolf.
Star Commander really?
What do you mean that was really Kanan right?
Ninja Fan 123
He's still dead, yes. But there's this wolf that said "I Am Dume". I don't know.
Star Commander but the wolfs said "Dume" even before kanan died.

No, not this one. This giant wolf, bigger than the others, said to Ezra "I Am Dume". Kanan's last name. His real name.

Kanan sacrificed himself, just like Depa Billaba...

Jake Timberlake except Anakin survive
JULIAN RHANEY he is more powerful plus he has the plot on his side
Jake Timberlake this also reminds me of the grand inquisitor's death.
Yeah except this looks far more better
Yoshifan1219 I guess Clone Wars Animation didn’t get great until Season 2.5/3 but Rebels Animation is still inferior to the end of Clone Wars
They're definitely going the route of killing all the rebels then apart from Hera, wish Kanan hadn't been the first to go though.

I’m an Empire fan boy through and through. But Pryce needs to die for Kanan’s death. For the civilians she killed on Batonn. For everything.
Yes she deserves that. But I think Esra will be involved. Maybe befire turning to the dark side.
Star Commander long lived the empire
Star Commander I wonder if he's gonna throw her out the airlock in space because he lost that piece of art,plus the loss of life on Baton and the fuel yeah she left Hera really alone...Mann....she's in serious trouble..
What Pryce did is worse than you realize.
A single TIE Defender has been shown to be a serious threat to an entire Rebel squadron. Dedicating enough resources into their production and development would strengthen the entire Imperial Navy and make them vastly superior to the Rebels and their X-Wings. But thanks to Pryce's overzealous attempts to kill the Rebels she has inadvertently sabotaged the entire program just as the Emperor is in the process of deciding whether to keep putting resources into it or put everything into the Death Star project that Galen Erso is currently sabotaging. The Empire is subsequently going to go back to its strategy of quantity over quality, which will ultimately make them weak enough for the Rebels and their often old but superior quality equipment to defeat.
So basically Pryce in her selfishness might be directly responsible for DOOMING the Empire in this single moment!
Thrawn will take care of that.
IMO, one of the greatest death scenes of all time.

Yes. And face Vader, one more time. Maybe at the end, if Ezra realizes Vader survives, there might be an epilogue of Ahsoka.
Yeah true
I think Ezra will get answers about her next week when he goes to the Jedi Temple! I bet they won't show her much though, just enough for us to feel satisfied. I've missed Lady Tano
Rip kanan you will be missed
WHY JUST WHY
THEY ACTUALLY MADE ME CRY
Revan Almighty me too
Because Kanan was always to be a true Jedi. And also he sacrificed. Its really sad.
Revan Almighty
Same
Same my dad came in and asked how the show is and I threw a pillow at him
Five years have passed and it is still sad
Kanen Jarrus was one of the last of the Jedi Younglings who survived the Jedi Purge, and he will always be remembered by the galent effort to train Ezra Bridger..
One of the last Padawans as he had a Master, Younglings are those who go through basic training to get a Master
But otherwise yes
Kannan would be proud Ezra rallied all his friends to free his home
R.I.P KANAN JARRUS
Each one will fall, one by one like a domino.
Hit me hard. Grown man who hadn’t cried since watching Hachi(the movie) but what Kanan knew going into the moment and how he regained his sight to see her one last time broke my heart into a million pieces. I recently watched Star Wars:Rebels again as Ahsoka the series approaches…and again, cue the waterworks.
I loved kanan he was one of my favorite rebels characters, he taught me so much about the Jedi and even stuff I never knew or skimmed over. I even went out of my way to get his lightsaber at Wal-Mart and I just got it a couple weeks ago. Now he's gone rip kanan jarrus, Jedi knight you will be missed
RIP
my fav rebels character
One final detail which makes this scene so devastating is that Kanan is using Tutaminus to block the explosion; that is an ability only Jedi Grandmasters should be capable of!
His love for his family, especially Hera, allowed him to become extremely powerful but it wasn't enough to save him.
See, this is why the Order’s no attachment rule was a mistake. Kanan’s love for Hera and his friends made him a better Jedi. And Luke’s attachment to his father also made him a better Jedi. The same feelings made Anakin better in the end as it helped him finally reject the dark side.
This really was the saddest scene in the entire series especially since his own son will never know him only know what those around him including his mother say
The only time in my grown man life that I can say that a cartoon made me cry, RIP Kanaan Jarus
Live action flashback in Ahsoka - Make it happen Dave!!!
That would be amazing and heartbreaking
Rewatching this scene and the scene where he gets “knighted” by the high inquisitor made me think about what it means to be a Jedi. In the republic days, Padawans had to pass the trials and it was a very structured process with rules. Luke becomes a Jedi through his perseverance and staying true to the light side in the face of darkness. I like the idea that Kanan becomes a Jedi master through his deeds and his heart rather than passing a test. He was a true Jedi.
At that moment; Depa Billaba, Grey, Styles and the others were awaiting Dume on the other side!
I like that when Kanan gets his sight back he sees Hera. But he also gets to see Ezra. And in that moment. They were worth dying for. And god damn does that make me weep.😭
I don't care if this is a cartoon but this is one of the best scenes in all of the saga - power of a Jedi the power of good boosted by true love
The saddest death in star wars this was actually the first death in a movie or series for me were I had to cry
The shot at 1:38 where it shows his face concentrating with all his strength and focus with the fire blazing around him has got to be one of the coolest moments in Star Wars
I’ll never forget when I saw this live. I had just lost my grandmother 9 days earlier and then I had to watch one of my top 3 favorite characters get killed off!?! Talk about salt in the wound!!!!!
I’m sorry you had lost your grandmother.
Life sucks
Ezra Bridger ikr
Oof
Should have saved him then, dumbass
And its up to you and countless others to make it better.
Ezra Bridger your the last hope for the rebals
In a way, I think Kanan is the kind of Jedi Anakin hoped to become
Too bad his lightsaber is gone....it would be awesome if he makes a come back but that sucks I liked him a lot
THEDEVO PLAYZ The empire recovered his lightsaber after the dust settled
Usually, when you expect someone to die from the very beginning of a show, it takes away the impact of the death when it finally happens.
That was not the case here. I felt every second of this scene.
Kanan’s death remains one of the most impactful in Star Wars and fiction in general, to me, for a few reasons.
The first, was the sense of invincibility that Rebels gave the Ghost Crew. Up until this point: the crew had survived so much. They came out with scars, physical or mental, but they always survived. So, surely Kanan would survive, right?
This episode shattered that illusion. It showed now that every main character had a chance of dying in the final episodes.
The second, was the impact. Kanan’s sacrifice had both an impact on his friends and family, and the Empire. To the surviving Ghost Crew: we watch them grieve in their own ways. Kanan’s death impacts Hera’s decision making and makes her hesitate sending Ezra and Sabine into the Imperial camp. As for the Empire: We watch Governor Pryce throw a celebration for the death of Jedi…only to cover up her failure in destroying the fuel pods meant for the Tie-Defender project, Thrawn’s project. Hell, even The Emperor felt some form of change in the force when Kanan died.
And lastly: Kanan’s death mattered. In many forms of fiction, we see character deaths written as some form of cheap suspense with no real impact other than to keep the viewers on their toes. That was not the case for Kanan. His death pushed Rebels into the climax, it gave the Ghost crew the victory they needed over Thrawn, and his sacrifice had a lasting impact on the survivors and the audience.
Noooo I love him so much
T Douglas Me, too! :(
someone has to die.
Kanan came full circle. From the Jedi Caleb Dume to the scoundrel Kanan Jarrus. At the end he becomes Caleb Dume again and returns to his former self and truly becomes a jedi once again before becoming one with the force itself.
He was a true Jedi Knight.
NOOOOOOOOOOO
NO NO NO
(BASHES TABLE)
*NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!*
Excited Cat I HATE THIS TOO!! I'M WITH YOU! GOVERNER PRYCE SHOULD PAY!WHY KANAN?😢😢😢😢😢😢😭😭😭😭
I grew up in the 90s with all the sourcebooks and then got addicted to Wookieepedia later, so I kinda was conditioned to be a stickler for all the strict rules of how everything worked in the Star Wars universe… … the moment the force just granted Kanan his eyesight back in his final moments so he could lock eyes with the woman he loved with no explanation of how made me finally realize none of that shit mattered 😢
One of the saddest Star Wars scenes EVER!! I cried so damn hard when I saw this my eyes were completely waterlogged!
Him and Hera are the only original characters I liked :,(
hera is from episode 4 5 and 6
Quinn of Wrestling you’re joking right?
Jake Timberlake he's not joking, because you said "original character" which the fans referred to OT characters
Hera is not from episode 4, 5, 6.
From clone 99 meeting him as a kid to his end so messed up but perfect for the perfect jedi
He is now one with force.....stronger,wiser and more at peace.THE FORCE SHALL ALWAYS....BE WITH HIM.
Thank you for uploading, this was just heroic, I will miss him!
The only way they could have killed Kanan is with a 50+ megaton nuclear explosion. And they did. No way they could have taken him down as a Jedi in battle.
Others: Star Wars Rebels is a kids show
Me: Shows this Video
Kanan was my favourite character in Star Wars Rebels and he has been one of my all time favourites! I always hoped he would go out sacrificing himself for Hera and I’m glad he did! I already miss him but the force is with him! Rest In Peace Kanan, you are an amazing Jedi, one of the best the Galaxy had! ❤️❤️❤️
It’s 2023 and I’m still tearing up! 😭
Just finished That episode this morning this is my 1st viewing of Rebels made me sad man
Kanan died 6 years ago today 😢
I really don't care that people hate rebels.
It meant and still means the world to me.
Kanan taught me to be a better man, and I miss him dearly.
As someone who didn't like Rebels simply because I hadn't watched it, I bet most people who hate it also haven't watched it.
I was in the target demographic for Rebels back during the original Prequel trilogy, so by the time Rebels came out (or even Clone Wars), I was busy adulting and hadn't given it a shot. But now that it's all on Disney+, I've been binge-watching it before I catch Ahsoka and have been having a blast. Just like Kanan!
(too soon? I was raised on half a lifetime of Younglings jokes...)
@@SomeTH-camTraveler that last part got me 💀
Im assuming we are around the same age, I just turned 27 a couple days ago, I too am a child of the prequels.
And did the same with clone wars, but as for rebels, when Disney bought star wars, and started season 1, my dad was watching it and recommended it right when season 1 ended, so we wer watching as they came out
@@LordTreeko Dark humor all the way! haha. I'd like to say that Kanan proved himself a great Jedi when he survived a fight with Darth Vader, something that an entire _room_ full of Jedi couldn't do in the movies.......... XD
Yep, I'm 33, so my dad had showed me the original trilogy when I was like 8 or 9 (he was a teenager when they first came out) and then I was 10 or 11 when Phantom Menace came out. Star Wars toys and legos every Christmas, lol. Glad to hear you and your dad have been able to bond over it as well!
Gets me every time I watch it. This would make a perfect flashback in the Ahsoka show.
His sight was reborn in the ashes, like a phoenix
I saw this coming form the mid-season trailer the big loth-wolf is kanan and the only way for that to happen was he had to be dead. Now this brings an interesting part to the rest o the season kanan guided Ezra in the physical world for the first few seasons, now he has to do it has a sort of “force-being” like obi-wan did for Luke throughout episode 4,5, and 6
Joseph Sosa that would be awesome if it turns out like that!
El hecho de que la fuerza le curara los ojos para que pudiera ver a su amada una ultima vez es precioso
This whole scene is better than the entirety of the sequel trilogy
Crazy how even after all this time I still tear up at this scene.
What is so cool in this scene is how you can see the force, the color blue around the flames. We see this in the games but its rare to see it on shows
True Title: Kanan Becomes One With The Force.
✨He never died. He merged WITH THE FORCE. Regular guys die. Great Jedi become ONE. ✨ Like Great Masters Yoda, QuiGonnJin, ObiWon, Anakin... and the List Goes ON. 🤫✨🤚🏻✨
GlobalLightWorks Mace Windu...
Luke too
Love you, Kanan. Love and compassion always wins. May the Force be with you, brother.
What makes this hit so much harder than it would have, was the force giving Kanan his sight back in those last moments so he could look at his family and Hera, one last time.
“In the heart of a Jedi lies their strength” this just summed up what he meant after TROS
That was really badass, Kanan is what I think a lot of Jedi lack as he actively uses the force
If they had Hera let out a tragic scream @2:20 i would've broke down twice as hard.
I think that's what the peak in the ost vocals is supposed to represent, so it's still basically there
If you ask me, keeping the scene silent was the best thing they could have done to make it all the more tragic and emotionally impactful
Not cried like this since I were a child
When people try to say Rebels was a show for kids I just show them this scene
Wow that just what I need
HAN STARKILLER ikr I actually wanted him to live past rebels
Ismael Ciulla oh no I mean I wanted one of them dead so it makes it more dramatic like Clone Wars
HAN STARKILLER well it had to happen
Ismael Ciulla I’m happy it did
HAN STARKILLER yeah me too
