Fun fact about Qui-Gon in the Second episode here, he was voiced by Liam Neeson's son. AKA, Young Qui-Gon was voiced by the son of the guy who played Qui-Gon in The Phantom Menace! I think that is SO cool. ^^
“Need” is a strong word. Rebels is unwatchable in stretches, it’s not worth the effort. Neither am I particularly invested in the Ahsoka series, which I will probably watch because it’s live action rather than animated, and I’m sure it will neatly summarise any prior plot informations. If not , searching it up is fine.
@@joer3720 - You may have found it unwatchable, but not everyone did. I personally loved it. I thought it was a great depiction of what "Star Wars" is and many times was better than some live action offerings. I remember when the Trailer for Episode 7 came out, the trailer for Season 2 of Rebels also came out and I was WAY more excited about Rebels season 2 than I was Episode 7.
@@DevJannz yeah, I get that, it’s all opinions as to whether something is good or not. But nobody “needs” to watch Rebels or anything else to watch future content. The first Star Wars I ever watched was Return of Jedi. It remains my favourite film of the series, I didn’t “need” to watch A New Hope or Empire Strikes Back to appreciate it.
Given that many people reduse to watch the animated series, my guess is the live action shows will give a quick data dump. You can watch The Mandalorian without having watched Clone Wars. So my guess is you won't need Rebels to watch Ahsoka. Those who've seen Rebels will be rewarded but those who haven't will enjoy it just the same.
@@havok6280 Well if the Ahsoka series will be heavily based on Ezra and Thrawn, then maybe watching Rebels will be necessary since those characters might play bigger parts than just cameos. And without watching Rebels, you wouldnt understand who they are and why theyre where they are. At least thats what I think
It is interesting how they modelled the young Dooku, as opposed to the very harsh angled version in the Clone Wars giving him the evil, menacing look. This one is very much like a young Christopher Lee, smoother and overall a bit more human and therefore more sympathetic.
It's just a natural progression of the art style. I'd been wanting an updated Dooku face model for years when Clone Wars was running, as every other character received an update. I suspect if the show wasn't cancelled, Dooku would have received an update back then. I'm glad we finally got it here.
Dooku mentions in Episode II movie that Qui-Gon has been his padawan, but I can understand that this might have slipped from memory, since it never really became relevant until this series here.
Don't be scared to offer your opinion on things, that is the fun part of taking a journey into this world. As far as what you said about the dark side here, you are fairly spot on. In one of the books, a Sith Lord describes the dark side as a drug that they would never wish to be free of, or a sickness that they would never wish to be cured of. It offers aid, but you start using it more and more. Dooku struck out with it to help people here, but it is a slippery slope, and you saw how that slope ended in Revenge of the Sith.
It also makes me want more of Qui-Gon & Dooku, I'd watch a whole show about them. Tho I'd also watch a whole show about Qui-Gon & Obi-Wan, Obi-Wan & Anakin. Just the whole "Disaster Lineage" (as the fandom affectionately calls them) tbh. Anyway, I loved your post-reaction thoughts and I'm now even more excited for the next reaction/discussion!
Regarding the Dark Side, Luke used the force choke in Return of the Jedi. That didn’t automatically make him a villain. Mace Windu as well has canonically used powers more associated with the dark side. I feel that the various force abilities aren’t inherently good or bad, what matters is how they are used.
Isn't there some debate about whether or not Luke actually used force choke? But I agree with you. Though I would think it is probably the intent behind using the powers. Someone can have the ability to do something, but it doesn't make the ability good or bad. If it is done out of fear and anger, than it is a path to the Dark Side.
@@PerovNigma True, and I'd be tempted to frighten this senator the same way, myself. As I see it, the Dark Side is addictive, like in a feedback loop, and also wants to be used, to spread itself. At full expression it practically 'possesses' a Sith Lord, hence the yellow eyes, but they still have to be willing to channel the destructive power and use it, not always aware of how far they'll end up going - a sort of reckless abandon, after a point. Whilst the Light Side, or the balanced Force as a whole, has a will too, but hard to understand, or relate to, often? That's where it gets murkier. A desire for calm and harmony, it's inferred. The more cosmic it gets though, the less understandable.
Obi Wan uses the ol' "Jedi Mind Trick." There's _nothing_ more unethical than mind control. Obi Wan is also the guy who cuts people right in half. Weird huh.
The storyline and characters that will be in the Ahsoka series are from Rebels, so it's probably vital to watch that show first. Like CW, the first season of Rebels is a bit...kiddy. but starting season two, the story becomes very adult and, by the end of the five seasons, it's AMAZING. The series gets into the mysteries of the Force and how even the Jedi don't know what they don't know. And they don't know a lot. Also, major characters (besides Ahsoka) from CW continue their journeys in Rebels.
I'm not angry, but a little surprised you didn't recognize younger Dooku. I don't know why anyone would be angry about you not realizing... that would be genuinely troubling.
Jess, this was a most lovely reaction, and most excellent post-episode thoughts and analysis of Ahsoka, Count Dooku, and the Dark Side of the Force. I look forward to what’s to come as, like I said, this was most lovely, Jess.
Rebels before the Ahsoka show is an absolute must! The whole premise for the show is because of the events of Rebels. Would love to see all your reactions, but again, we can give you an essential guide for on camera reactions, but the whole show is required info at this point
I doubt its “required”, they can’t assume everyone will watch these side shows and so can’t afford to alienate the average viewer. There’ll no doubt be info dumps throughout to get people up to speed.
@@markmckeown87 I believe that it is vital. It gives a depth that would be missed. It's like watching Ashoka in the Mandalorian without seeing the Clone Wars.
It's okay not to have recognized Dooku and Qui-Gon. It's easy to forget that we don't check media exactly the same way, cuz I imagine you avoid trailers and news articles to get a better reaction. It's also understandable that you might not recognize Dooku and Qui-Gon cuz they are considerably younger, although I would recognize Dooku's animated voice anywhere just cuz I've been a fan of Clone wars for a long time 😊
When Obi_wan is held captive by Dooku in Attack of The Clones, he references having been Qui-gon's master. I believe it was fairly known that Dooku was going to be a character featured in Tales of The Jedi, as was Ashoka in the lead-up to the airing of the show. And most people recognized Dooku's distinct lightsaber and fighting style and voice. Nothing wrong with being caught off guard by it. Thats part of what is enjoyable about watching someone experience the Universe for the first time. As some others have said, Rebels is expected to play a significant role in The Ashoka Series, and Potentially The Mandolorian and any other Series that is live action that falls into that time period. Ashoka name dropped a major character from Rebels in an Episode she was in of The Mandolorian.
Douku has a line in Attack of the Clones where he explains that he was once Qui-Gon's master and Yoda was his master. So from that, we get Yoda trained Doouku trained Qui-Gon train Obiwan trained Anakin trained Ashoka
The "Darkside of the Force" is about a state-of-MIND and *Emotion* that arises either one's own from Fear, ANGER or just hate, and how twisting the USE of the FORCE for *malefic purposes* that is fuel by that person anger or hate or irrational levels of fear. Using a Force Choke doesn't "corrupt" a person, any more than using fire makes out an Arsonist, it's HOW and WHY it (the tool, or ability, or even the Force) is used, *the intent*. Just as Luke used a Force Choke to only stun or deter but not kill the Gamorean guard at the entrance of Jabba's palace, Luke was calm and not felling fear, hate or anger.... If the intent is to hurt or kill out of Anger or Hate then that can be a "slippery slope" toward giving in to one's own "Darkside" of being enraptured by one's own fear, hate and anger....
I think it sort of is important to watch Rebels before the Ahsoka series because it will not only be happening after it but Ahsoka is a direct sequel to Rebels from what they said it was going to be
I think the only thing we've ever really been told about how Ahsoka ended up with the Jedi was through Plo Koon apparently "finding" her, but it was never expanded on, as far as I am personally aware of...That's the thing, there's nothing wrong with not knowing everything about something we all like. I grew up on Star wars since the 80's and even I still don't know everything, or even forget things sometimes. I'll admit I am one to get a tad "passionate", or enthusiastic, when I do have knowledge to share, but I do also try and not be "that guy" about it.
Your analysis on the Dark Side is actually pretty accurate. The more someone taps in to it, the more they can't NOT use it, which is why Yoda stated in the original trilogy "once you start down the Dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny". Although it turned out that it WAS in fact possible to turn away from it, it's just rather difficult. In addition to that, it also clouds the judgement of those not well trained in it, as we saw with Anakin in Revenge of The Sith.
There is a compilation video of all of Ashoka's scenes in Rebels. It's about 45 minutes and was released on TH-cam by Disney XD. It doesn't fully prepare you for all the characters we'll see in the Ashoka show, but it does update her story. While I recommend watching all of Rebels, if that's not in the cards, this could be a cheat you could use.
If your curious about the lineage of who’s master was who. It goes from Yoda to Dooku to Qui gon to Obi wan to Anakin to Ahsoka If I’m wrong plz correct me. This is just I remember to be correct
@@shugaroony Living in the Empire era would’ve tested the Jedi a lot more than anything TCW brought to the Order, so not too surprising that they’d become greater Jedi.
This explains why Ahsoka is brought into war at such an early age, her Tagrutan upbringing prepares her better for death than other cultures. Also, a force sensitive child growing up around non force sensitves and not being taught discipline could go horribly wrong, children are cruel to those who are different and imagine that difference being something that would allow the picked on to retaliate in such an unfair way. It's logical to bring force sensitives to a place where they can be supervised and taught properly. Also, watch Rebels first, it's very important to the premise of the Ahsoka series.
It is mentioned in Attack of the Clones that Dooku was Qui gon's master but other than that I don't think they mention it in the clone wars. You may have been able to tell it was Dooku from the curved lightsaber but it is quite subtle so I don't blame you not for noticing/remembering.
Tebels will fill in a lot of background and lore. The series an an amazing group of characters that develop and grow right before your eyes. Several arcs are the best star wars ever. It is well worth the watch. I think season 7’s last 4 are the best animation but Rebels is my favorite series.
Even if you don't watch rebels on video, would you still consider making season reviews, or a review of the show in general? It would be great to hear your opinions on it and commentary on some of the more important arcs. I know that won't be for a while but it would be really cool. Love your content by the way!
Rebels is essential viewing for key moments in Ashoka's timeline. Also some key moments in a couple of Clones Wars Fan Favourites as well.... As well a a character voiced by a Dr Who legend :D
Even as a baby Ahsoka had the same traits she would have in her later years and shes showed that with the tiger creature. Absolutely loved your reaction to Dooku’s padawan was revealed to be Qui-Gon not many star wars fans know that as it was only said in a brief line Attack of the Clone but it really fleshed out the relationship of Dooku and Qui-Gon more. It shows Dooku was a idealistic good man at one point he wanted to do good as a Jedi but the Jedi’s connection to politics and its corruption hindered his efforts its why he’s got an extreme view of things and is all in when he is focused on his goal. Which is where Qui-Gon contrasts him Qui-Gon never used violence unless it was an absolute last resort he always was diplomatic first sought peaceful solutions with what he had in the moment freeing the boy so that he could save his father from being killed by Dooku in the hope his master wouldn’t kill an innocent boy the lesson seems to have effected Dooku who not only praises Qui-Gon for his actions but commends him for being wiser than he was. Dooku is known to proud and arrogant so for him to say this to his apprentice says a lot of his character.
Of course not too many fans new that Qui-Gon was a Padawan of Dooku, and neither did you until it was mentioned in the movie. That's why these tales are going back to give more details of events you only heard mentioned.
If I was a jedi i would do the same as Dooku did, he didn't kill any soldiers he only wanted to kill Senator, who is just corrupted, and wants to kill so many people only to give a message, Dooku have a sense of justice. Jedi should resolve the situation, however most jedi in this time would also fight for peace (but on senator's side) Dooku has his own sense of right and wrong, yes he's far from ideal jedi, but his morality is at this point better than most jedi, this is why Qui-gon-jinn have so much ideal jedi energy, it's partly because of Dooku...
Many people are divisve about Rebels because it was a literal Dysney product at the start and later on shifted it cource since the end of Season 1. And even with some irritating and cringe moments, it has importance for Ahsoka post-Clone Wars and Pre-Madalorian series. It is watchable, in short. I'd personally say it's more watchable than Book of Boba Fett.
The powers welded by a Force User, be it Jedi, Sith, or Force-Sensitive, are neutral. It's the intent that determines good vs. evil. If that wasn't the case, then Luke using a force choke, or Rey using force lightening, would be an issue. Just my two cents.
Just for future reference, Dooku's lightsaber has the distinctive curved hilt/handle. I'm not aware off the top of my head any other jedi that has one (but I may just not be aware of them). So yeah, there was something distinctive about the lightsaber, but I've also been a SW nerd for 45-ish years... 😆 I really love your reactions. Never be afraid to admit you didn't know. The credits reveal was priceless. EDIT: "none of you will agree." lol.... priceless and 💯 truthiness. 🤣
Oh I just wish Dooku's Jedi blade was green, it would be drool-worthy as his hilt is the coolest in all Star Wars, and (dark) green is by far the best colour blade imho.
The curved handle lightsaber was something that Christopher Lee suggested when he played the role, since I think he was a trained fencer and wanted the character to have a weapon and fighting style that mirrored this
@@shugaroony his color was blue tho because he was extremely skilled in saber combat. That's why Obi-Wan's is also blue. Green is for stronger force connection/ability.
@@scumdog666 I know of the old theories about blades colours, Jedi Guardians/Counsellors etc; but they mean nothing now. Sure one could adopt blue to the better duellists, Anakin, Obi-Wan, Dooku even Kanan later; but that doesn't explain Ahsoka's blades being green in Clone Wars when she is a master with the lightsabres too, Kit Fisto or Yoda, who with Obi-Wan was the best duellist in the order.
Hola, me da mucho gusto que continúes con este bonito universo, disfruté mucho tus reacciones con clone wars al grado que aún vuelvo a ver tus reacciones de varios arcos, estoy seguro que habrá un par de capítulos que te gustarán mucho, saludos. ;D
To be fair it was stated in a couple of throwaway lines that are kind of easy to miss and would probably be quite hard to remember for anyone who isn't well-versed in this franchise's lore
I do hope you will react to Rebels. It's one of my favourite Star Wars things and I've been waiting for you to finish Clone Wars and get into it. And I do believe it will make future series more interesting.
Great reaction! Please, do speak your mind, we love hearing your take on these stories! I'm there with you, like a drug, the Dark Side is the easier, faster path, but soon it will consume you.
FYI Liam Neeson's son voiced the young QGJ. Only SWs geeks 🤓 would know Dooku does have a distinctive lightsaber hilt its very bent & his style of fighting is like fencing. In real life Christopher Lee did fence. You forgot it was brief in AOTC when OWK was captured & chained on Geonosis Dooku mentioned QGJ was his former padawan. Great reaction.
I don't think it's canon that Jedi can never use the Dark Side at all without being corrupted. Luke legit Force Choked the hell out of those Gamorrean Guards at Jabba's Palace in "Return of the Jedi" and I think it's still canon that Mace Windu is such a powerful lightsber duelist because he uses a very complicated style of fighting that uses anger and enjoyment of the battle but manages to skirt falling to the Dark Side, so not many Jedi master that technique because they'd rather not risk it, but Mace Windu never runs the risk of being corrupted because he's in full control of his emotions at all times when fighting, even if he's harnessing his aggressive feelings deliberately. Anakin himself did many Dark Side-y things over the years in Episode II and Clone Wars before he finally fell and became corrupted. I think you're right in your view that, since it's explained as "the quick and easy path," it's bound to feel increasingly more convenient and the more you use it the more you risk corruption. I remember a scene in the original no-longer-canon sequel novels where Luke uses the Force to confuse the pilots of several TIE fighters during a space dogfight to allow himself and the rest of the X-Wing pilots to beat them, and later he reflects upon it and decides that it wasn't cool at all and that the risked the Dark Side if he did stuff like that again, so he chooses to never take that "quick and easy path" in a future battle.
I think you have time to watch Rebels, but if you don't i wouldn't worry if you're wanting to watch Ashoka as it releases. You know who she is, I imagine that's more than plenty will have watching it.
Tales of the Jedi is great, I want more. I think they should do a similar show for the Sith. People threw around “tales of the Sith” I don’t like that all. I think a Sith centric show in this style should be “legends of the Sith” it’s about ego. Jedi aren’t supposed to have egos like that. While the Sith. Have massive egos.
Excellent reactions. Once you've finished this series I'd definitely recommend the obiwan series next to keep to the story line and then I'd watch rebels and then the original series. But I'd say when mandalorian season 3 comes put watch them. You're already on track with it.
the “…oh.” when dooku’s name appeared in the credits 💀

If anyone gets this reference, you win the Internet for the day.
Rebels definitely should be watched before the ahsoka series and bad batch
Tebels will fill in a lot of background and lore. The series an an amazing group of characters that develop and grow right before your eyes. Several arcs are the best star wars ever. It is well worth the watch. I think season 7’s last 4 are the best animation but Rebels is my favorite series.
This light and dark side in and out sorta is touched on in Rebels. You may find some of your answers to that questions there.
Even if you don't watch rebels on video, would you still consider making season reviews, or a review of the show in general? It would be great to hear your opinions on it and commentary on some of the more important arcs. I know that won't be for a while but it would be really cool. Love your content by the way!
I didn't expect two episodes, I really, really am excited for the reactions to this show.
i think it actually makes for a better watch that you didn’t know it was qui gon and dooku till the end
The Fall of Dooku in these episodes puts the Clone Wars in such a perspective. Dooku was correct, his actions were not.
Rebels is essential viewing for key moments in Ashoka's timeline.
Also some key moments in a couple of Clones Wars Fan Favourites as well....
As well a a character voiced by a Dr Who legend :D
Even as a baby Ahsoka had the same traits she would have in her later years and shes showed that with the tiger creature. Absolutely loved your reaction to Dooku’s padawan was revealed to be Qui-Gon not many star wars fans know that as it was only said in a brief line Attack of the Clone but it really fleshed out the relationship of Dooku and Qui-Gon more. It shows Dooku was a idealistic good man at one point he wanted to do good as a Jedi but the Jedi’s connection to politics and its corruption hindered his efforts its why he’s got an extreme view of things and is all in when he is focused on his goal. Which is where Qui-Gon contrasts him Qui-Gon never used violence unless it was an absolute last resort he always was diplomatic first sought peaceful solutions with what he had in the moment freeing the boy so that he could save his father from being killed by Dooku in the hope his master wouldn’t kill an innocent boy the lesson seems to have effected Dooku who not only praises Qui-Gon for his actions but commends him for being wiser than he was. Dooku is known to proud and arrogant so for him to say this to his apprentice says a lot of his character.
Of course not too many fans new that Qui-Gon was a Padawan of Dooku, and neither did you until it was mentioned in the movie. That's why these tales are going back to give more details of events you only heard mentioned.
Liam Neeson's son did the voice of young Quigon.
To me it makes sense that if a child is force sensitive, their innocents gives them strength. Even tho they are untrained its like an instinct.
If I was a jedi i would do the same as Dooku did, he didn't kill any soldiers he only wanted to kill Senator, who is just corrupted, and wants to kill so many people only to give a message, Dooku have a sense of justice. Jedi should resolve the situation, however most jedi in this time would also fight for peace (but on senator's side) Dooku has his own sense of right and wrong, yes he's far from ideal jedi, but his morality is at this point better than most jedi, this is why Qui-gon-jinn have so much ideal jedi energy, it's partly because of Dooku...
“I feel she’s not gonna get eaten”😂
Many people are divisve about Rebels because it was a literal Dysney product at the start and later on shifted it cource since the end of Season 1. And even with some irritating and cringe moments, it has importance for Ahsoka post-Clone Wars and Pre-Madalorian series.
It is watchable, in short. I'd personally say it's more watchable than Book of Boba Fett.
The Ahsoka series is literally just Rebels season 5, with a Clone Wars flashback in the middle. I can say that now, as she’s seen it.
Please, please, please watch Rebels (& Bad Batch) on camera. I don't watch too many reactions, but yours are always the highlight of my week. X
The powers welded by a Force User, be it Jedi, Sith, or Force-Sensitive, are neutral. It's the intent that determines good vs. evil. If that wasn't the case, then Luke using a force choke, or Rey using force lightening, would be an issue. Just my two cents.
Anyone else just waiting on the channel, refreshing, hoping the next Tales of the Jedi gets uploaded soon?
Just for future reference, Dooku's lightsaber has the distinctive curved hilt/handle. I'm not aware off the top of my head any other jedi that has one (but I may just not be aware of them). So yeah, there was something distinctive about the lightsaber, but I've also been a SW nerd for 45-ish years... 😆
I really love your reactions. Never be afraid to admit you didn't know. The credits reveal was priceless.
EDIT: "none of you will agree." lol.... priceless and 💯 truthiness. 🤣
Oh I just wish Dooku's Jedi blade was green, it would be drool-worthy as his hilt is the coolest in all Star Wars, and (dark) green is by far the best colour blade imho.
The curved handle lightsaber was something that Christopher Lee suggested when he played the role, since I think he was a trained fencer and wanted the character to have a weapon and fighting style that mirrored this
Oppo Rancisis has a curved hilt and both of Ahsoka's white lightsabers are curved hilts.
@@shugaroony his color was blue tho because he was extremely skilled in saber combat. That's why Obi-Wan's is also blue. Green is for stronger force connection/ability.
@@scumdog666 I know of the old theories about blades colours, Jedi Guardians/Counsellors etc; but they mean nothing now. Sure one could adopt blue to the better duellists, Anakin, Obi-Wan, Dooku even Kanan later; but that doesn't explain Ahsoka's blades being green in Clone Wars when she is a master with the lightsabres too, Kit Fisto or Yoda, who with Obi-Wan was the best duellist in the order.
Hola, me da mucho gusto que continúes con este bonito universo, disfruté mucho tus reacciones con clone wars al grado que aún vuelvo a ver tus reacciones de varios arcos, estoy seguro que habrá un par de capítulos que te gustarán mucho, saludos.
;D
Love that you’re watching these. I really enjoyed this series 😍
How did you not know it was Dooku and Qui-Gon? We have known Dooku was Qui-Gon's master for a long time. Since episode 2 Attack Of The Clones.
To be fair it was stated in a couple of throwaway lines that are kind of easy to miss and would probably be quite hard to remember for anyone who isn't well-versed in this franchise's lore
The curved lightsaber should have been a clue.
Tales of the Jedi is amazing, i'm sure you'll enjoy it. can't wait to see your reactions
You are going to LOVE this Master Dooku arch. George, take notes from Dave.
I heavily recommend Rebels as it has some of the best storytelling done by Dave and company
I do hope you will react to Rebels. It's one of my favourite Star Wars things and I've been waiting for you to finish Clone Wars and get into it. And I do believe it will make future series more interesting.
You haven't seen rebels? Rebels has a lot of world building for season 3 of the Mandelorian. A lot. But I'm sure you'll enjoy Mandelorian either way.
No apology needed.
Episode 4 is amazing
Great reaction! Please, do speak your mind, we love hearing your take on these stories! I'm there with you, like a drug, the Dark Side is the easier, faster path, but soon it will consume you.
Actually Dooku's lightsaber design could easily be distinguished due to elegant curved shape
you’re spot on with the dark side being like a drug !
I would love to see you react to Star Wars: Visions or Zen - Grogu and Dust Bunnies some time.
I love the Star Wars Tuesdays, so please watch Rebels and The Bad Batch after Obi-Wan, please... You´re going to love those shows...
I just finished Clone wars. It was so good.
Rebels should be seen before the stand alone series.
FYI Liam Neeson's son voiced the young QGJ. Only SWs geeks 🤓 would know Dooku does have a distinctive lightsaber hilt its very bent & his style of fighting is like fencing. In real life Christopher Lee did fence. You forgot it was brief in AOTC when OWK was captured & chained on Geonosis Dooku mentioned QGJ was his former padawan. Great reaction.
I normally only focus on the reactions but that dress is 🔥🔥🔥
I don't think it's canon that Jedi can never use the Dark Side at all without being corrupted. Luke legit Force Choked the hell out of those Gamorrean Guards at Jabba's Palace in "Return of the Jedi" and I think it's still canon that Mace Windu is such a powerful lightsber duelist because he uses a very complicated style of fighting that uses anger and enjoyment of the battle but manages to skirt falling to the Dark Side, so not many Jedi master that technique because they'd rather not risk it, but Mace Windu never runs the risk of being corrupted because he's in full control of his emotions at all times when fighting, even if he's harnessing his aggressive feelings deliberately. Anakin himself did many Dark Side-y things over the years in Episode II and Clone Wars before he finally fell and became corrupted. I think you're right in your view that, since it's explained as "the quick and easy path," it's bound to feel increasingly more convenient and the more you use it the more you risk corruption. I remember a scene in the original no-longer-canon sequel novels where Luke uses the Force to confuse the pilots of several TIE fighters during a space dogfight to allow himself and the rest of the X-Wing pilots to beat them, and later he reflects upon it and decides that it wasn't cool at all and that the risked the Dark Side if he did stuff like that again, so he chooses to never take that "quick and easy path" in a future battle.
I think you have time to watch Rebels, but if you don't i wouldn't worry if you're wanting to watch Ashoka as it releases. You know who she is, I imagine that's more than plenty will have watching it.
REBELS! REBELS! REBELS!
Actually it also took me the whole episode to understand the Padawan is Qui-Gon. 😅 But Dooku I recognized by the handle of his saber. 🙂
Tales of the Jedi is great, I want more. I think they should do a similar show for the Sith. People threw around “tales of the Sith” I don’t like that all. I think a Sith centric show in this style should be “legends of the Sith” it’s about ego. Jedi aren’t supposed to have egos like that. While the Sith. Have massive egos.
Please watch Rebels on camera, it's a great series
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do Rebels here on TH-cam!
I'm really enjoying these reactions. I really hope you do watch bad batch and rebels.
The animation is beautiful
You gotta watch Rebels, please 🙏
Taking a baby with you for a hunting session :D
The word "child safety" simply doesn't exist in the star wars dictionary.
I could watch a full series on dooku!
TBB season 2 gives more back ground about Dooku. Do you plan to watch TBB s2 off camera?
Excellent reactions. Once you've finished this series I'd definitely recommend the obiwan series next to keep to the story line and then I'd watch rebels and then the original series. But I'd say when mandalorian season 3 comes put watch them. You're already on track with it.
Believe me, its better for you and us that you watch 2 episodes per video. It will make sense. Trust me
I'm not as big a fan of Rebels as some others but there are certain episodes where I really want to see your reaction to them.
PLEASE! watch rebels before bad batch. Bad Batch had spoilers for Rebels
great reaction
@Sesskasays even if you watch Rebels off screen. Please at least react to the first and last two episodes of each season 🙏
These are tales of Ahsoka and Count Dooku in chronological order
You should really watch rebels if you plan to watch ahsoka.
Ashoka is Jedi
I really hope you go on to watch Rebels.
What about the Bad Batch?
Who else wants to see a tales of the sith series
YAYYYY
Niiiice
please please please watch rebels on camera ♡
Obi wan. Then....REBELS!
