In the canon Novel: Thrawn Alliences. Vader flew in the defender and thought the following: 'A dark lord of the sith doesn't gasp in suprise. But if he wasn't it would've been a likely reaction. The Jedi (Anakin) certaintly would. The sheer speed only matched by his own customized Tie'' Vader promised Thrawn he would tell the Emperor about the fighters and why it should be mass produced
@@sanderbot66 I have read it completely. One of the best SW put to paper and I really wish Disney had adapted that instead of rebooting everything. Rebels set it up with Thrawn back to the Unknown Regions, ready to return as a future villain. Imagine we got a story with the OT trio, with Thrawn, C'baoth and Mara Jade, with Ahsoka and Ezra given some other roles in the fight
*Ho, you cut the:* Ezra: Hey~ Thrawne: Fascinating. xdxdxd And I love Ezra's affinity with Animals, its the representation of his Growth since season 1 when he couldn't even get along with a simple Loth Cat, now Animals guide him and he listens. I Love Ezra so much ToT
LOVE this episode. ONCE AGAIN Sabine and Ezra being this inseparable dynamic duo, getting into the most adorable shenanigans. And the way he handles her when she’s unconscious is so gentle and sweet
In a way, that _is_ a controlled test by Thrawn. He knows these rebels well enough, and knows the most likely outcomes. Now I'm gonna watch the reaction to Chapter 8 of Mando again, at least for the trooper scene. 😁
@@theawesomeman9821 The standard TIE is not bad.. its actually a very good fighter for the role it has about patrolling inmeselly vast regions of space..its cheap. reliable, fast , maneovebrable , easy to mass produce and with more than decent fire power.. its weakness about not having shields ot hyperdrive is offset by the fact that they can be so mass produced that the empire can put them in bases and ships everywhere so they dont need to fly anywhere far
The moment they stopped trying to fit a romantic relationship between them their interactions became some of the best in the series, I hope we had seen more of it
@@josumds1896 I agree Their interactions improved in the later seasons when they started having more of that sibling dynamic. (I still wouldn't be against a romance coming up later between them tho whenever they show up again in future content--but they don't need it)
@@josumds1896 ironically Ezra maturing enough to not be some lovestruck boy and just instead tries to be her partner and her friend is one of the reasons a romance between them would be so good
Never thought about this before this reaction to this episode, but this reminds me of Fighter Flight, the first season episode where Ezra and Zeb steal a TIE Fighter.
The comment at 13:43 is very true, and makes you realize that roughly 5 years pass over the course of this series, almost twice the amount of time that passes in The Clone Wars. A lot happens that we just don't see.
@@lucaschitwood4305 thank you so much for the recommendation! I looked it up and couldn't resist ordering one. Can't wait for it to arrive now. Thanks again!
And this is why you don't screw with Loth cats. They will claw your eyes out. And the wolf is just amazing as it is such a close connection to mans best friend.
6:00 you can just tell how good Trawn's aim is, because the following 2 shots both hit the windshield on the Defender. If it didnt have shields they would have bin shot. (to see it better slow down to 0.25)
So begins one of the coolest mystical plotlines in Star Wars canon (second only in my mind to Mortis) spoiler below: It also funnily enough ties into Mortis to a vague degree.
The Tie defender makes one hell of a model ,, I have a full diecast one beautiful ship can't wait to see it in live action at some point.. I love this episode I wouldn't say the wolf casted a spell..Maybe their breath is some type of Anesthesia to help them subdue prey..Like some animals here have venom... wow ,Rick A very good thought about Caleb Dume being born on Lothal You might have something there..Even though it's never stated but it would make sense
The TIE Defenders should have been mass-produced. With shields, a hyperdrive and six laser cannons they were the perfect answer to the X-Wing. Plus, as Thrawn noted, a talented pilot could easily make short work of any enemy fighters. Palpatine really dropped the ball by taking away the funding to move it to the Death Star. Sure, you could use the threat of a Death Star to quell an insurrection, but a full fleet of TIE Defenders could easily do the same, as they could strike fast and were designed to be bombers as well as fighters.
That was Thrawn plan and what he was proposing the Emperor.. the thing is with Thrawn out of the map later , the destruction of Lothal factories and the nearing completion of Stardust project it fell into oscurity while the empire had bigger problems in their hands (loss of the death star.. big galaxy wide rebellion, etc).. after all you need an excuse because had that thing been mass produced the Rebellion would be very much fucked
I appreciated Rick's reference to the space sim Elite. If he doesn't know there's a modern version called Elite: Dangerous and it's pretty sick. I spent many many hours playing that but I shelved it a few years ago. Tons of new updates have come out so I might have to revisit it soon. Awesome game, your choice of space combat, space trucking, space exploration or all of the above. It's also a 1:1 representation of the Milky Way galaxy. The galaxy simulation is so good it predicted several stars/planets that were previously undiscovered in real life and it was nearly spot on. But no, Tie Defender Elite isn't a reference to the game. It's the upgraded ace pilot model of the Defender more or less.
Like how Aaron is raising the class factor of this channel, let’s just have a moment to soak in that sky blue blazer/suit jacket/sports jacket. Either that or he’s going for a Miami vice look, just needs summer sandals and to roll up the sleeves and it’s business time. Lol 😂 I jest of course, no hate here, Love your work blind wave.
i link to think the Loth-Wolfs/cats are not on the rebels side but on Lothal's side. like Vision in AOU said he wasn't on the avengers side but that he was on the side of life
Because all funding went to Stardust. Thrawn was the one campaigning for the ship. But his.. absence and some things being destroyed ensured Krennic won
guys, does anybody know the name of the tie that's like (-o-) ? i`m not talking abt the one that appears on the episode, it`s a different one i thought it was a tie bomber, but they're more like (-o-o-)

Man , after multiple re-watch, sw rebels definitely has some of the most funniest storm troopers moments.
Reminds me of Gary the Stormtrooper from Robot Chicken and the series Red vs Blue.
Rebels has the most of the best funny moments in all of star wars

Vader: "Now THIS is podracing..."
Imagine the funds for the death star were used to mass produce these tie defenders. the rebels won't have stood a chance
@@lord2.0works Please, i beg you, read the Thrawn Trilogy, you'll find all your answers

cheaper than the Death Star
"Those are the worst Storm Troopers I've ever seen."
"Ah, but you HAVE seen them."
Also, kill switch designed by LEGO.
*Ho, you cut the:*
Ezra: Hey~
Thrawne: Fascinating.

Eric & Calvin's mix of utter shock & amusement at 6:18 is just _too_ good. Hahaha.
In a way, that _is_ a controlled test by Thrawn. He knows these rebels well enough, and knows the most likely outcomes.
Now I'm gonna watch the reaction to Chapter 8 of Mando again, at least for the trooper scene. 😁
The TIE Defenders are absolutely the best Imperial ship to fly in Star Wars Squadrons.
already in Tie fighter, X-wing vs Tie figther and X-Wing Alliance... they are the most cool looking imperial ships !
The Empire should have mass produced this kind of ship instead of their crappy Tie-Fighters
@@theawesomeman9821 if you think in term of cost, tie Defender is a premium fighter. Std tie are made easy and cheap so theycan impressby the number.

@@sparrowlt You need gifted pilots to outperform the faster rebel pilots and having quality pilots is unlikely if you're mass producing inferior ships
Man I love the dynamic between Ezra and Sabine

@@josumds1896 I agree

I ship them!

I love eric and aaron trying to hide the plot from calvin and rick
When you watch the show for the first time the wolves are so cool. Now they're the beginning of the end
Man, they don’t give the TIE Defender enough love. :((((( Literally my favorite ship ever.
It’s a badass looking ship
The comment at 13:43 is very true, and makes you realize that roughly 5 years pass over the course of this series, almost twice the amount of time that passes in The Clone Wars. A lot happens that we just don't see.
18:34
Literally spit out my drink as soon as Rick said that. Holy fuck.
Ezra’s so gentle.
Last season of Rebels episodes are just so amazing.
I only found out recently that the ship is a tie defender I always called it a Tri fighter lol
Funny thing is, there IS a ship in Star Wars called the Tri-Fighter, it was one of the Droid ships in the Clone Wars!
Omg I need that Lothcat plush in my life. That's adorable!!
On a side note, I'm so excited you guys have almost reached my favorite episode!
Check out the build a bear plush, just got my daughter one for Christmas.
@@lucaschitwood4305 thank you so much for the recommendation! I looked it up and couldn't resist ordering one. Can't wait for it to arrive now. Thanks again!
Your welcome.
And this is why you don't screw with Loth cats. They will claw your eyes out. And the wolf is just amazing as it is such a close connection to mans best friend.
LOVE YOUR VIDS AND REACTIONS!!! Keep up the great work people, you are absolutely amazing to watch
6:00 you can just tell how good Trawn's aim is, because the following 2 shots both hit the windshield on the Defender. If it didnt have shields they would have bin shot. (to see it better slow down to 0.25)
Thrawn is just a badass
At around 1:25 I think is the moment/night where Kanan and Hera hooked up. Lol! On Ezra's bed
So begins one of the coolest mystical plotlines in Star Wars canon (second only in my mind to Mortis)
spoiler below:
It also funnily enough ties into Mortis to a vague degree.
I wanted Ezrabine to be a thing so bad, and it hasn't happened yet😂 Maybe in live action
Possibly in Ahsoka’s series
dave filoni himself said that he doesn't want them to be romantic, they have more of a sibling dynamic
6:18 This is the moment that I laughed the most in the Star Wars Universe
The Tie defender makes one hell of a model ,, I have a full diecast one beautiful ship can't wait to see it in live action at some point.. I love this episode I wouldn't say the wolf casted a spell..Maybe their breath is some type of Anesthesia to help them subdue prey..Like some animals here have venom... wow ,Rick A very good thought about Caleb Dume being born on Lothal You might have something there..Even though it's never stated but it would make sense
Caleb was born on Coruscant, but this was never mentioned in the show
@@lastudentessa Where was it stated in comics that aren't even canon.. They also did his order 66 Which was done totally different from canon..
Thanks, Eric! Thanks, Rick! Thanks, Calvin! Thanks, Aaron! 🐱
I was glad that Rebels and Star Wars Battlefront 2015 made the TIE Defenders canon again. They're so cool
The TIE Defenders should have been mass-produced. With shields, a hyperdrive and six laser cannons they were the perfect answer to the X-Wing. Plus, as Thrawn noted, a talented pilot could easily make short work of any enemy fighters. Palpatine really dropped the ball by taking away the funding to move it to the Death Star. Sure, you could use the threat of a Death Star to quell an insurrection, but a full fleet of TIE Defenders could easily do the same, as they could strike fast and were designed to be bombers as well as fighters.
Storywise, the Rebels wouldn't have a chance to beat the Empire if they did that. Its an intentional flaw on George Lucas' part.
That depends since the Defenders are pretty expensive to mass-produce
That was Thrawn plan and what he was proposing the Emperor.. the thing is with Thrawn out of the map later , the destruction of Lothal factories and the nearing completion of Stardust project it fell into oscurity while the empire had bigger problems in their hands (loss of the death star.. big galaxy wide rebellion, etc).. after all you need an excuse because had that thing been mass produced the Rebellion would be very much fucked
@@haydo-9916 solution: don't invest in two Death Stars
I still think those two troopers chasing the cats are Tag and Binks…lol
Can't wait to see those last few episodes! Keep it up gentleman!
Does anyone else think the Lothcats' faces look like imperfect transformations by the Pokémon Ditto.
It is so fun to watch it after you know what will happen next 😂 and man i remember watching it first time when it aired
Yo i love the Endcard! 😂😂😂
I always forget how tightly knit and intricate the story in season 4 was after the two two-parters.
Like god damn.
Episode spends 23 minutes saying loh-th cat.
Eric: law-th cat
Great reaction and I swear those Stormtroopers 🤣
Another amazing reaction
my favourite episode of this season
4 episodes until THAT episode, oh boy here we go.
also calvin wishing this was just a loth cat centered episode, honestly same.
Eric for the intro lol 1:45

Lmao the outro is blind wave at its finest
That's the best outro I've ever seen :D
Thrown shooting at the ship reminded me of general Patton
Like how Aaron is raising the class factor of this channel, let’s just have a moment to soak in that sky blue blazer/suit jacket/sports jacket. Either that or he’s going for a Miami vice look, just needs summer sandals and to roll up the sleeves and it’s business time. Lol 😂 I jest of course, no hate here, Love your work blind wave.
That ending lol
we must subscribe, so the lothcat doesn't eat them one by one
Can y’all react to the memorial health video
i link to think the Loth-Wolfs/cats are not on the rebels side but on Lothal's side. like Vision in AOU said he wasn't on the avengers side but that he was on the side of life
Makes me think I wonder why no one was able to replicate Thrawns design seeing how we don’t see them in the films
Because all funding went to Stardust. Thrawn was the one campaigning for the ship. But his.. absence and some things being destroyed ensured Krennic won
guys, does anybody know the name of the tie that's like (-o-) ? i`m not talking abt the one that appears on the episode, it`s a different one
i thought it was a tie bomber, but they're more like (-o-o-)
i got it it's a Tie Advanced V1
Obviously that was Tag & Bink.....
My personal Canon is that they are the Scout troopers shooting the can in Mandalorian
Why is Ezra carrying the engine ? he has magic.
Can you guys react to a series of unfotunate events
algorithm comment
Ayyy
4 eps till Kanan's you know
Musical
Man after a rewatch this show makes stormtroopers awful what a shame this show is garbage
Lol
