They really are the best characters. Rebels and CW is the best star wars content (ill throw in Andor too) but this is looking to be right up there too.
It was a really nice touch having Clancy Brown reprise his role as Ryder Azadi. It really was a good decision and it adds credence to this show's connection to Rebels. I would like to see more voice actors given the opportunity to portray their characters on live screen in Star Wars. Next up... Thrawn!
These first 2 episodes of Ahsoka were great! The costumes, sets, performances, and visual effects were all awesome, but I especially loved the music! The music is nailing the Star Wars adventure tone so far. Absolutely loving it!
There were people complaining about the aesthetics of the show how the colors looked off and they were complaining before the show came out. I thought the show looked visually stunning It looked movie quality . What's good about this show We are basically getting two shows in one, We are getting Ahsoka and Rebels season 5 all together.
It looked better than pretty much any of the movies except Rogue One, they killed it in production quality. Hope it doesn’t fall off after the first 2 episodes
People complain some costumes and interiors look too clean.. wich makes some sense since the New Republic is the legit goberment now.. not a rag tag group of Rebels hiding and barely living.. they have now the (well not quite but) resources of the empire so their ships and uniforms have no reason to look worn out or dirty..
looks like Lars Mikkelsen is not the only Rebels character transitioning from animation to live action... nice to see Clancy Brown reprising his role as Ryder Azadi
The senator of Lothal is also A Rebels character: Jai Kell, who was one of kids that Ezra met in the imperial academy and then joined the Lothal resistance.
I didn't realize right away when I watched the episodes just how big Ray Stevenson is. He's a big physical presence, and that really helps sell his character. But the fact that he's also patient and thoughtful makes him especially intriguing. I'm super excited for the rest of this series.
Everyone loves their favorite animated characters but honestly seeing Diana Lee Inosanto (Morgan Elsbeth) is probably the biggest thing of this show to me. Hopefully she will be involved in some of the fight scenes but I am sure she helped out with the stuntpeople in designing and training for the fights. I know she helped Rosario Dawson with training for Ahsoka and the fight scene in Mandalorian but she is honestly martial arts royalty and a stunt woman below none. Man Diana Lee Inosanto!!!!
You can tell how excited people are about a show by how quickly the reaction videos start showing up on TH-cam. I expected to see this on your channel today, but not nearly so early. Wow.
So, I was stunned during the first half of this show, actually all the way through, but during the first half it was the little mannerisms of how she moved and looked at things. It literally felt like the CGI character just stepping into reality. Rosario Dawson absolutely nailed it and I love her for it. Also the little bits of lore shout outs here and there are fantastic. The fact the New Republic is shown using E-Wings just makes me trust Dave Filoni even more. It seems like he's finally starting to play in the Era that he wanted to, and is saving Star Wars for it.
Anyone else get really strong Star Trek vibes from that scene on the bridge at the start? Even the beginning of the meeting in the shuttle bay to some extent. It felt like a homage of sorts, I thought it was neat.
Dave Filoni and his love of wolves. Baylen Skoll and shin Hati. Skoll and Hati were two wolves in Norse mythology. Chasing the sun and moon across the sky in a never ending race. And in other mythology's marrok is created into a wolf by a witch named Morgan
Having barely watched Clone Wars and NEVER watched Rebels, I was pleasantly suprised by how easy it was to follow and how emotionally hitting it was. Solid start
Same, apart from "tales of the jedi" I've watched no more than maybe one episode of the other animated shows yet didn't feel at all lost watching the 1st 2 eps. My biggest 'gasp' moment was when Hera dropped the bomb that Sabine was a Mandalorian (which would presumably be no big deal for viewers familiar with the animated shows. So in some ways it's a fun experience coming to the show 'cold'.)
The great thing about the Star Wars universe are the many healing methods. Bacta tanks, mods, the force, etc. In the Star Wars books, religious groups found force-sensitive people(& kids) and use them for witches and druids. It was never part of the main plot lines but it was in the background
As a first-timer to anything Rebels, this was a nice start. I'm enjoying the look of the characters, I like seeing Ahsoka in action, I like the tone of the show and I'm digging the music. The story is going to be an intriguing one, for sure. I'm really interested in seeing how this series, possibly, sets up the Dave Filoni Mandoverse movie. Also, Godspeed, Ray Stevenson. May the Force be with him and his family.
Overall liked the first episode. For the ruin/map mistery i love how some Sherlock Holmes show clues, pieces of puzzle aittle more, making me viewer realise how complex the puzzle or for regular eye those clues don't connect. The biggest missed opportunity was the first scene with Siths. Imagine guards with weapons ready to use, 2 behind them, one tosses a grenade, a forcefield activities, and an automatic gun pops down from the ceiling. Yet the Siths decimate them. Making the guards incompetent made Sith impression less powerful. All in all i loved what i saw, and felt heart in it. Thanks for the reaction, loved it as always. Can't wait to see the next ones.
I love the line, "Sometimes even the right reasons have the wrong consequences." She's basically both owning up to the fact that she failed Sabine as a Jedi Master, and also contributing to Anakin's fall to the Dark Side. I really look forward to seeing how Hayden Christiansen plays into this series, particularly since the theme of Masters and Apprentices is so prevalent.
Well, I still think that Anakin is responsible for his own downfall. But I know she feels like she may have been able to stop it. But I don’t think she would’ve been able to.
@@funnylilgalreacts Oh, absolutely Anakin is responsible -- but there are so many factors contributing to his decision, and Ahsoka walking away from the Order and the Council's treatment of her during that whole debacle was certainly one of the things that caused him to lose faith in the Jedi and an organization, and the Jedi Council in particular. And all engineered by Palpatine... And, like you say, and as I'm sure we'll see even further in this show, Ahsoka clearly thinks she could have prevented him from doing so... Obi-Wan tried and failed to bring him back, she tried and failed to bring him back, and it took the love and faith of his son that finally did. I sure hope the show explores this more.
Never saw rebels or clone wars.. I think this show is absolutely fantastic.. I feel like Star Wars is making a big comeback with this show. Not knowing any background.. I’m totally invested in each character. The production value in this show is insane .. I cannot wait to see what happens next.
P.S. Great reaction so far! Its so nice to see how committed they are in bringing Rebels characters to life... even Jai Kell (Ezra's buddy from the Imperial Academy) is back as a Senator from Lothal :')
You're my favorite reaction channel! I love your train of thought monologues in the beginning of each video. For me, they are maybe the most enjoyable part of the reaction. Maybe it's because I relate to a lot of what you're saying and where it's coming from. Dunno about you, but when I watch the reaction videos, I bawl my eye's out even though I know what happens... Weird, right? I also enjoyed watching your channel evolve.. My own is new, and I find myself doing the same kind of little tweaks and stuff! LOL
Loved the first episode, and of course your reaction was the first i had to watch. I love your passion and emotions you have for Rebels and Ahsoka, keep up the great work! Now I am on to watch your reaction for episode 2.....
The reaction I was waiting for! edit: that deep breath at 7:44 is a whole mood edit x2: @ 30:15 she leaves because shes a completely broken person psychologically after everything she's been thru OR It's likely because she didnt want Sabine to get hurt or killed. Or maybe its as simple as Sabine wasnt ready for the harsh reality of training
Great reaction like always great opening of the series such good trowbacks from rebels god im hyped, I liked seeing Clancy Brown as Rider. It's funny because they designed the cartoon character after him in real life and he voiced the character in Rebels. And its probably the best thing Disney has done yet. The nitty gritty detail to this show is INSANE. The holograms just look so authentic, the costumes are perfect. THE EYE OF SION?????? A KOTOR REFERENCE BABY LETS GOOOOOOOO, Feloni never disappoints. Keep up the amazing work.
Relax, ' it's just a flesh wound! Tis but a scratch even'. 🤣 Love how energized you are about this series. Then again your reaction videos are always fun.
And we're off!! So excited for this show, live-action Rebels is worth the 'price if admission'. I can't wait to see Sabine and Ahsoka's backstory as Master and Apprentice.
@@funnylilgalreacts You're very welcome! I appreciate your hard work and dedication. Your points of view I relate to. I'm working on a video myself.. LOL.. Egad!!
I like to think that Dave Filoni started with the Mandalorian and wrote in Ahsoka so we could finally get Rebels Season 5. As soon as Ahsoka showed up in the Mandalorian, I was like, "Cool, when do we get the Ahsoka series?" and it's finally happened.
There's a very niche Italian and French fencing style that involves using a rapier or knife paired with a cape or cloak, using fancy movements with the cloak to distract an opponent for a killing blow. Hati's style reminds me of that; she was flipping her cloak in Sabine's face a few times during that fight to hide her movements.
Sabine having force abilities…. I have a small theory on this. Given that she is Mandalorian, and they were kind of separate from the republic, she would have never been screened by Jedi for that ability. Add the fact that Mandalorians mostly had negative views of the force (considering it as magic), and being a longtime enemy to Jedi, either by choice or forced by family she repressed the ability. Without training to use it at a young age, and repressing the ability, it would be harder for her to develop the skill to use the force. There are some moments where she does something that borders on use of the force. The speeder bike scene early on is something that could have had some force intervention.
People talking shit on the Shin vs Sabine-fight does not seem to realize that Sabine actually held her own for a while there. Shin does not seem to be one that just "toys" with you if she is on a mission so I feel like Sabine did pretty well for someone that seem to have not held a lightsaber in years. So excited to see how this evolves! Also, a Jedi-Mandalorian could be a pretty darn good ruler of Mandalore I think. Based on the whole Darksaber-history.
Also, if Shin wanted her dead, she would be dead. That wound wasn’t a killing wound. I think she was really just trying to see what Sabine had the offer. She might not have run into any other “Jedi” at this point. Shin has this habit of really pausing and reflecting. I don’t think she’s a dark/evil force user at all. She’s literally in between Jedi and Sith, which is balanced.
I have to agree with you. To me, it felt less like 'toying" and more like "probing" . I feel like she was holding back, watching. Shin strikes carefully, she's TRYING to be precise. Which makes sense; Baylan's fighting style seems to crisp and precise. (You know he knows ALL the forms) I think the only reason Shin didn't behead Sabine was because Ashoka showed up and Shin had a mission.
@@funnylilgalreactsyeah, I feel like she has much to deal with in her own past and could go very dark soon. maybe because of not agreeing with her masters decisions for example. but this is Filoni.. she might become friends with Ahsoka and go with her (if Baylan passes away in the show.) EXCITING TIMES!
Im really glad they brought back Kevin Kiner for this. He did such an amazing job scoring Rebels. And whenever they would play a little version of Ezra's, Sabine's theme in this episode i instantly got chills. This series already feels like a Dave Filoni led production. Even the cinematic shots look like they were ripped straight from Clone Wars. Dave Filoni always loves his beautiful cinematic shots!
Strange that Qui-Gon was impaled by a lightsaber and died, yet Sabine did not. Would have been nice to have seen her wearing her Mandalorian armor with the vambraces Rau gave her during Rebels. Making her Force sensitive was a direction I did not expect from Filoni. Sabine was better off as just the pure Mandalorian beast we came to love
I have not seen Star Wars Rebels series but I enjoyed the first 2 episodes of this show. I like how they took time to show tiny little emotions between each other before proceeding to the next scenes. Knowing when to cut is the key because it's either you were able to show the emotions just enough or it's only gonna drag the show wrongly. The dialogues though can be improved.
I think I was even more excited to watch your reactions than I was to watch the show myself 😅 And I wasn't disappointed, so fun to see your happiness :)
I like how Ahsoka still struggles with her own past decisions. She was never perfect, she made mistakes during the Clone Wars and learned some harsh lessons. Her walking away from the Jedi was the right thing, but from the exchange here, it just seemed that perhaps it weighs heavily on her on what could have been if she had stayed with the Jedi Order. Would Anakin's fate be different? Would things have worked out the same for Bo-Katan, The Mandalorians, or Darth Maul if Ahsoka had not been free of the Jedi Order to ally with Bo-Katan? Ahsoka is so important to me because she represents wisdom. We have seen her grow from a brash young padawan to an experienced leader, confident in her skills and tempered in her actions. Yet still capable of recognizing the consequences of the choices she has made. She and Rex have to be my favorite Star Wars stories and I very much would love to see Rex. As far as I am concerned that was Rex on Endor as one of the commandos in Return of the Jedi.
Asoka (also lovingly known as Rebels Season 5) is off to a strong start, but your editor fixed for me it's biggest flaw: dialog pacing. When the characters speak, there's a 2-3 second gap before the next line is spoken. It's as if the show's editor added three seconds to make sure dialog was not clipped when cutting the clips together. Your editor removed those gaps, improving the dialog pacing and the flow of the show. Your editing team made the show perfect!
Comment for your engagement as much as anything ... I am so happy that you're covering this, as I knew you would. I unfortunately couldn't see Ashoka at launch - one of the downsides of living in the far future of Australia (dang nabbit time zones, lol) Will definitely be back to your channel before the weekend to catch your reaction though.
lol the moment they show the star map i was like Treasure Planet [animated version from 2002] also episode one for ahsoka is strong can't wait to see more episodes....
I made sure i watched the show before the reactions, but i do appreciate the spoilers disclaimer. In any event, I'm a big fan of the rebels, season 5:liveaction vibes. I love these characters, too.
Hey, Angela! A promising start. Fingers crossed. Filoni wrote and directed. Favreau executive produced. Kathleen Kennedy's claws came nowhere near this. Clancy Brown turning up as Governor Ryder Azadi was awesome! Jai Kell, the Imperial cadet runaway turned Lothal rebel, appearing now as a Senator was a nice touch. David Tennant aka Dr. Who and Erik Kilgrave reprises Huyang from "Clone Wars"! Mark Rolston, the heavy gunner Marine from "Aliens", played the doomed New Republic captain. New info: Sabine was being Jedi trained by Ahsoka after "Rebels" Morgan Elsbeth is a surviving Nightsister like Merrin from "Fallen Order"! The map seems to point not to a solar system but a different galaxy altogether! YUUZHAN VONG anyone? In Legends, the Yuuzhan Vong are an extragalactic invader Palpatine was preparing for who devastate the fledgling New Republic 25 years after "Return of the Jedi" with bio-weapons that terraform planets! Only an alliance with the Imperial Remnants and their Star Destroyer fleets turns the tide! Who is Marrok? Nice tribute to Ray Stevenson. If you've never seen him as the lusty and loyal Titus Pullo in "Rome", you're denying yourself a rare treat! Shin could have killed Sabine but wounded her gravely instead with a thrust to the liver. Was it a practical ploy to distract Ahsoka long enough for a getaway or was she holding back? Perhaps both?
Have you seen any "Not Obi-Wan Kenobi"? The deep fakes where they watch their own movies. When Sabine got stabbed, I thought about when Kenobi told Jinn "and a week later, we invented bacta tanks." As a character arc, important to have a protagonist lose. But I knew she wouldn't be dead.

Hera: I bet your master found you difficult at times.
Fans: You have NO idea..... 🤣
It's always great to visit a non-toxic channel that looks at things fairly & balanced but also is passionate about the work.
Ain’t that the truth!
Well said!!!
Yeah, really appreciate the positivity in this. Nice breath of fresh air compared to the majority of what is out there. Thanks FLG!
Whats considered a toxic channel?
I have something in common with Huyang. At 54 years old, I too am about 75% original parts.
ditto... down to the age.
As I get older, I'm 110% original parts.
We can rebuild him. Stronger. And faster.
I hear you. Missing teeth, missing a kidney, flat feet, bad eyes... 🙄
Lol 😂 I’m almost 50…same! 😂
I’m glad they got Clancy Brown to reprise his Rebels character
The room where Hera and Ahsoka talks is the same room ( on the same ship ) where the Rebellion planned the attack before the battle of Endor. :)
So sad to see Ray Stevenson here, knowing he's gone. Such an underrated actor gone too soon. I hope you enjoy the afterlife, Pullo.
😢😢😢😢😢 I know.
My Rebels heart has exploded seeing these episodes. I feel so full seeing my favorite Star Wars characters again!
They really are the best characters. Rebels and CW is the best star wars content (ill throw in Andor too) but this is looking to be right up there too.
Man, Season 5 of Rebels is off to a great start! It's not even a joke, it's what it is
It was a really nice touch having Clancy Brown reprise his role as Ryder Azadi. It really was a good decision and it adds credence to this show's connection to Rebels. I would like to see more voice actors given the opportunity to portray their characters on live screen in Star Wars. Next up... Thrawn!
DEE. BRADLEY. BAKER.
@@funnylilgalreacts Well, of course. He's the man... your Rex!
These first 2 episodes of Ahsoka were great! The costumes, sets, performances, and visual effects were all awesome, but I especially loved the music! The music is nailing the Star Wars adventure tone so far. Absolutely loving it!
"Have they transmitted their clearance code yet?"
"They're jedi"
"What?"
"Is an older code, sir but it checks out."

That self destruction scene though! Way more intense than i thought it would be!
It is nice that it picks up after The Mandalorian second season episode "The Jedi" where she defeated Morgan Elsbeth.
seeing you get hyped just by seeing Filoni's name in the credits lollll
i did the exact same thing this series is a dream come true for rebel viewers
looks like Lars Mikkelsen is not the only Rebels character transitioning from animation to live action... nice to see Clancy Brown reprising his role as Ryder Azadi
I very much enjoy that you are a full-blow unapologetic Star Wars geek. Keep doing what you are doing.

Clancy Brown playing a character in live action that he played in Rebels was such an absolute treat. I screamed "YES!!" when he popped up.

Fun Fact:
Huyang was in season 5 of The Clone Wars, voiced by David Tennant.
I’m resisting the urge to watch episode 5 reaction first😂
I hope one day we'll see as well these cute dogs like creatures seen in this small episode when Ahsoka was a baby ;)
I just wanted to say love your genuine reaction and I love the new set up!❤❤
And just a side a note I love the way you did ur makeup🥰🥰
I have rough memories about Rebels, so it's great that while you're doing Ahsoka, the Preview'd Boys are doing Rebels! Perfect synergy!
Dave Filoni and his love of wolves. Baylen Skoll and shin Hati. Skoll and Hati were two wolves in Norse mythology. Chasing the sun and moon across the sky in a never ending race. And in other mythology's marrok is created into a wolf by a witch named Morgan
‘I LOVE SPACE SHIT!’
T-shirt right there! 😆
RIP Ray Stevenson (May 25, 1964 - May 21, 2023), aged 58
Gone but not forgotten.
You are emotionally fragile and it is adorable! The viewers just want to give you a hug, we will get through this together!
I love that Rocinante Poster in the background. Also such a great show.
Having barely watched Clone Wars and NEVER watched Rebels, I was pleasantly suprised by how easy it was to follow and how emotionally hitting it was. Solid start

Also, Godspeed, Ray Stevenson. May the Force be with him and his family.
Its kinda neat seeing a non Force sensitive Dueling with a Light Saber.
Lol, “our favorite war criminal.”
Sabine's hair should get its own spin-off series
Overall liked the first episode.
For the ruin/map mistery i love how some Sherlock Holmes show clues, pieces of puzzle aittle more, making me viewer realise how complex the puzzle or for regular eye those clues don't connect.

Obi-Wan tried and failed to bring him back, she tried and failed to bring him back, and it took the love and faith of his son that finally did. I sure hope the show explores this more.
"How big of a boom will it be?"
Beeeeeeeeeeg Bada Boom!
Multipass
If you look at the bottom right during the ceremony, you can see Sabine riding out to the tower lol.
Never saw rebels or clone wars.. I think this show is absolutely fantastic.. I feel like Star Wars is making a big comeback with this show. Not knowing any background.. I’m totally invested in each character. The production value in this show is insane .. I cannot wait to see what happens next.
The New Republic prisoner transport system needs some serious security improvements. :D
Oooh I know there's gonna be some tears on this one.... xD
P.S. Great reaction so far! Its so nice to see how committed they are in bringing Rebels characters to life... even Jai Kell (Ezra's buddy from the Imperial Academy) is back as a Senator from Lothal :')

Love the new setup, Angela!
Relax, ' it's just a flesh wound! Tis but a scratch even'. 🤣 Love how energized you are about this series. Then again your reaction videos are always fun.
Someone said Ashoka's first scene was basically the first scene of guardians of the galaxy without the dancing, and now I can't unsee that
I’m so happy you’re reacting to this show!! :) I’m absolutely loving it so far.
I didn't watch Rebels myself but Nerdist has a handy catch up to characters I didn't know
Sabine got possessed by a Nighsister in Rebels so she's not going to be very happy to have to confront another one again.
I forgot all about the Nightsisters and I’m really excited to revisit that now
I am already loving this show
soo happy that we are seeing the rebels in live action
great reaction you are my fav reaction.
Anyone who says, “Where’s Chopper? I need to see that maniac!”….is a true #Rebels fan! #Absolutelyloveit 🖤
And we're off!! So excited for this show, live-action Rebels is worth the 'price if admission'. I can't wait to see Sabine and Ahsoka's backstory as Master and Apprentice.
I love how you always show your emotions :3 The episodes were amazing.
So amazing to have another person so enthusiastic about Rebels.
So Sabine‘s next in line to give good old Qui-Gon the middle finger…
I wonder how well it will be received by those that never watched Rebels or Clone Wars. So much is built upon those two shows.
Always a plus to see how the Tetris pieces are rearranged.
Thanks! It's hard work doing these video's and I appreciate the real effort and time you put into them. Lot's of 2 AM nights.. I know!
Thank you so much!
@@funnylilgalreacts You're very welcome! I appreciate your hard work and dedication. Your points of view I relate to. I'm working on a video myself.. LOL.. Egad!!
I never had any doubt Sabine would live with a Loth Cat. She's kind of a cat herself.
The cat is animatronic with a bunch of puppeteers. I suppose there might be one or two times it’s CGI.
I like to think that Dave Filoni started with the Mandalorian and wrote in Ahsoka so we could finally get Rebels Season 5.
As soon as Ahsoka showed up in the Mandalorian, I was like, "Cool, when do we get the Ahsoka series?" and it's finally happened.
I think he would do anything to write more Ahsoka stories. It was a smart thing to do ☺️
You know I am surprised that they just didn't call this rebels. Because to me it seems like a rebels continuation
12:20 You can tell she studied the animated Ahsoka...some of her facial acting looks just like the animated Ahsoka. Really well done.
There's a very niche Italian and French fencing style that involves using a rapier or knife paired with a cape or cloak, using fancy movements with the cloak to distract an opponent for a killing blow. Hati's style reminds me of that; she was flipping her cloak in Sabine's face a few times during that fight to hide her movements.
I swear...the music in Star Wars never disappoints.

Add the fact that Mandalorians mostly had negative views of the force (considering it as magic), and being a longtime enemy to Jedi, either by choice or forced by family she repressed the ability. Without training to use it at a young age, and repressing the ability, it would be harder for her to develop the skill to use the force. There are some moments where she does something that borders on use of the force. The speeder bike scene early on is something that could have had some force intervention.
People talking shit on the Shin vs Sabine-fight does not seem to realize that Sabine actually held her own for a while there. Shin does not seem to be one that just "toys" with you if she is on a mission so I feel like Sabine did pretty well for someone that seem to have not held a lightsaber in years. So excited to see how this evolves! Also, a Jedi-Mandalorian could be a pretty darn good ruler of Mandalore I think. Based on the whole Darksaber-history.
Also, if Shin wanted her dead, she would be dead. That wound wasn’t a killing wound. I think she was really just trying to see what Sabine had the offer. She might not have run into any other “Jedi” at this point. Shin has this habit of really pausing and reflecting. I don’t think she’s a dark/evil force user at all. She’s literally in between Jedi and Sith, which is balanced.
I have to agree with you. To me, it felt less like 'toying" and more like "probing" . I feel like she was holding back, watching. Shin strikes carefully, she's TRYING to be precise. Which makes sense; Baylan's fighting style seems to crisp and precise. (You know he knows ALL the forms) I think the only reason Shin didn't behead Sabine was because Ashoka showed up and Shin had a mission.
@@funnylilgalreactsyeah, I feel like she has much to deal with in her own past and could go very dark soon. maybe because of not agreeing with her masters decisions for example. but this is Filoni.. she might become friends with Ahsoka and go with her (if Baylan passes away in the show.)
EXCITING TIMES!
Im really glad they brought back Kevin Kiner for this. He did such an amazing job scoring Rebels. And whenever they would play a little version of Ezra's, Sabine's theme in this episode i instantly got chills. This series already feels like a Dave Filoni led production. Even the cinematic shots look like they were ripped straight from Clone Wars. Dave Filoni always loves his beautiful cinematic shots!
I love these characters. Big Rebels fan and this made my night when I watched ep 1 & 2.
Strange that Qui-Gon was impaled by a lightsaber and died, yet Sabine did not. Would have been nice to have seen her wearing her Mandalorian armor with the vambraces Rau gave her during Rebels. Making her Force sensitive was a direction I did not expect from Filoni. Sabine was better off as just the pure Mandalorian beast we came to love
I have not seen Star Wars Rebels series but I enjoyed the first 2 episodes of this show. I like how they took time to show tiny little emotions between each other before proceeding to the next scenes. Knowing when to cut is the key because it's either you were able to show the emotions just enough or it's only gonna drag the show wrongly.
The dialogues though can be improved.
I think I was even more excited to watch your reactions than I was to watch the show myself 😅 And I wasn't disappointed, so fun to see your happiness :)
I like how Ahsoka still struggles with her own past decisions. She was never perfect, she made mistakes during the Clone Wars and learned some harsh lessons. Her walking away from the Jedi was the right thing, but from the exchange here, it just seemed that perhaps it weighs heavily on her on what could have been if she had stayed with the Jedi Order. Would Anakin's fate be different? Would things have worked out the same for Bo-Katan, The Mandalorians, or Darth Maul if Ahsoka had not been free of the Jedi Order to ally with Bo-Katan?
Ahsoka is so important to me because she represents wisdom. We have seen her grow from a brash young padawan to an experienced leader, confident in her skills and tempered in her actions. Yet still capable of recognizing the consequences of the choices she has made. She and Rex have to be my favorite Star Wars stories and I very much would love to see Rex. As far as I am concerned that was Rex on Endor as one of the commandos in Return of the Jedi.
New subscriber! Great reaction! Been watching for a while. Just didn’t realize I hadn’t subscribed!
Asoka (also lovingly known as Rebels Season 5) is off to a strong start, but your editor fixed for me it's biggest flaw: dialog pacing. When the characters speak, there's a 2-3 second gap before the next line is spoken. It's as if the show's editor added three seconds to make sure dialog was not clipped when cutting the clips together. Your editor removed those gaps, improving the dialog pacing and the flow of the show.
Your editing team made the show perfect!
I loved the first two episodes and cannot wait to see more.
Awww Ashoka is my fave too =)
I don’t think we’ll even see Ezra in the flesh this season! As for Kanaan I’m pretty sure Freddy prince said he was done with Kanaan.
Comment for your engagement as much as anything ...
I am so happy that you're covering this, as I knew you would.
I unfortunately couldn't see Ashoka at launch - one of the downsides of living in the far future of Australia (dang nabbit time zones, lol)
Will definitely be back to your channel before the weekend to catch your reaction though.
lol the moment they show the star map i was like Treasure Planet [animated version from 2002] also episode one for ahsoka is strong can't wait to see more episodes....
Damn, can you stop fangirling for one second?!
It is so contrived but they don't make reaction videos just to sit quietly.
Ray Stevenson will be missed.. will always remember Titus Pullo fondly :)
I made sure i watched the show before the reactions, but i do appreciate the spoilers disclaimer. In any event, I'm a big fan of the rebels, season 5:liveaction vibes. I love these characters, too.
We're off to a strong start. Baylon and Shinn are Very intriguing. Can't wait for the next one
Shin not killing Sabine… I see a conflicted force user and I’m excited for it!
Never was a fan of the animated series, but watching your reaction to unfamiliar characters make for a better show.
Hey, Angela!
A promising start. Fingers crossed.
Filoni wrote and directed.
Favreau executive produced.
Kathleen Kennedy's claws came nowhere near this.
Clancy Brown turning up as Governor Ryder Azadi was awesome!
Jai Kell, the Imperial cadet runaway turned Lothal rebel, appearing now as a Senator was a nice touch.
David Tennant aka Dr. Who and Erik Kilgrave reprises Huyang from "Clone Wars"!
Mark Rolston, the heavy gunner Marine from "Aliens", played the doomed New Republic captain.
New info:
Sabine was being Jedi trained by Ahsoka after "Rebels"
Morgan Elsbeth is a surviving Nightsister like Merrin from "Fallen Order"!
The map seems to point not to a solar system but a different galaxy altogether! YUUZHAN VONG anyone?
In Legends, the Yuuzhan Vong are an extragalactic invader Palpatine was preparing for who devastate the fledgling New Republic 25 years after "Return of the Jedi" with bio-weapons that terraform planets! Only an alliance with the Imperial Remnants and their Star Destroyer fleets turns the tide!
Who is Marrok?
Nice tribute to Ray Stevenson. If you've never seen him as the lusty and loyal Titus Pullo in "Rome", you're denying yourself a rare treat!
Shin could have killed Sabine but wounded her gravely instead with a thrust to the liver. Was it a practical ploy to distract Ahsoka long enough for a getaway or was she holding back? Perhaps both?
I love space shit too! But I adore Rosario as Ahsoka more!
You are def becoming my favorite reaction channel
Have you seen any "Not Obi-Wan Kenobi"? The deep fakes where they watch their own movies.
When Sabine got stabbed, I thought about when Kenobi told Jinn "and a week later, we invented bacta tanks."
As a character arc, important to have a protagonist lose. But I knew she wouldn't be dead.
