STAR WARS Rebels new animated series!

Yes. That's the actual living Yoda speaking to Ezra, providing that Jedi Knighting ceremony for Kanan, and waving to Ahsoka. He is on Dagobah and is very much aware of them and engaged with them.

If that is the case, I'd like a bit more to this. At the very least, I would like a real justification as to why they don't go to him.

All logic says that they should head to dagobah to start working with him. Yoda could train them both.

Wonderful addition to the lore of SW.
My main issue is that they didn't really address the question of why the Inquisitors keep finding them.

First, you do not have to worry about spoiler info once the episode has aired. i think most here know better to not come here till after they watch the episode.

Second. I think for now we are expected to believe the Seventh Sister is utilizing the force to track them. The other Inquisitor referred to it as her instinct. But as you mentioned, there might be more to it than that.

My thoughts..

I think there is a hidden beacon. At first, I was thinking that maybe it was in Chopper. The next two episodes are entitled The Forgotten Droid and The Mystery of Chopper Base so maybe there is something to that. However they still showed up at the planet once Chopper left. That could be due to they were going by the last trace of the signal they received or the beacon could be else where.

Second place it could be is the Phantom since they used it both times this episode when they were tracked.

I found the lines between Hera and Ezra strange:

How's the Phantom?
I don't know, Chopper was flying.

It just seemed out of place but if it was actually important info that had further implications to a future plot, then it might be a clue that it is either in Chopper or the Phantom.


Last place it could be is in Ezra's lightsaber since the Seventh Sister had it in her possession for a short time. However if it were there, I would think the Inquisitors would have been on their ass all season.

Of course it is still possible that the Seventh Sister has a unique ability to track them. Maybe she feels a special bond to Ezra or Kanan.

I think Chopper left BECAUSE the inquisitors had arrived, not before.

I think Yoda has made a decision not to directly train them. He is not above helping them out of course.! I think he only comes out of "retirement" for Luke, Vader's son because he knows it is gonna take that relationship to turn Vader.

Plus it feels Yoda now believes fighting is not gonna do the job so why train them?

 

[Gary Weaver II]

I think Chopper has a beacon on him and it was put there by Seventh Sister's little probe droid when he ambushed Chopper on the Med Station earlier in the season. That, or his programming was corrupted at that time and he's an unknowing double agent.

 

[Mara Jade's Father]

Right. But my comment was that if the beacon was in either Chopper or the Phantom and they left, why did they not follow the beacon? My thought is that they were simply following the last known signal.

Ah, yes. I agree. It seem the seventh sister can use the force to follow Jedi.

Because Yoda knows trying to bring all remaining Jedi to him to train is the road to hell that the Jedi went down before. Yoda also knows Luke is the only hope to restore balance, not Kanan, Ezra, or Ahsoka. They can't win this fight, only Luke can.

I also believe Yoda feels that Kanan is perfectly capable to train Ezra. Not only that, but Yoda believes Kanan's commitment to training Ezra that has made him reconnect and become a better Jedi. Remember the remarks that Dave F. made in the Rebel Recon; the Inquisitor/Guard was actually Yoda bestowing the level of Jedi Knight to Kanan. That is huge. It is better for Kanan and Ezra to train and face challenges and trials while making the rebellion grow rather than take them out of action and only to have them run around a swamp. He needed to do it with Luke because there was no one else to train him and he had very little acquired skills. He had a hard time pulling his lightsaber from the snow. He had to go to Yoda.

A enjoyable episode. I think there can be a lot of good story arcs that involve them trying to turn Azra and making him the basis of why the 7th Sister can track them. I also am not sure but is the Force Unleashed cannon? Could Vader be having the 7th Sister track them because he want Azra as an apprentice (i.e. Starkiller). Just a thought.

 

[Mara Jade's Father]

...is the Force Unleashed cannon?

No, it is not. However it does not mean it could not be possible.

 

[drcraig13]

THanks MJF I get confused on some of that since it was a Luca's Art's product I didn't know if it was in or out.

 

[Bryancd]

There is a funny consistency in fandom, likely an EU hangover, that anytime you get more then three Jedi in a room people want them to start a Temple. We see that in Rebels and TFA, people struggle with Jedi existing during a time when when we were not aware of them previously and they want a New Order.

 

[jcoffman99]

Just rewatched it. Really impressed with the music.

 

[MooCriket]

Ah, yes. I agree. It seem the seventh sister can use the force to follow Jedi.

My thinking exactly. I think they keep finding them not because of a tracking device, but because their force ability is growing. Especially, Ezra. Remember Ezra made that comment to Yoda about being able to see him, and Yoda said something along the line of your ability is growing, as is the danger. Makes me think of Luke. Remember how Ben was just a voice at first when he died at the end of ANH, then a somewhat dull blue vision in ESB, then a fully visual force ghost in Jedi. Always thought this was because Luke's ability was growing.

Great episode, and a great use of Vader in both the force vision, and ending.

didn't they put a tracker on their ship as a plot point that got completely forgotten?

or am I mis remembering?

not a bad episode. not sure what the inquisitor was there all of a sudden...or that he really needed to be ANOTHER fallen jedi. that part of the story wasn't really needed.

but the rest of it wasn't bad.

I can't help but wonder if yoda, apparently sending ezra to maul (it would seem) is some kind of test, like the temple guards where for kanan?

I just assume a Jedi a Temple allows Force users to commune with other Force users in a metaphysical sense. So Yoda and Anakins presence in the Force is as living beings. The Inquisitor is dead and Recon video says his inclusion is a vision created by Yoda for Kanan's behalf as unlike Qui-gon, he can't commune from beyond death.

That's the way I took it the first time Yoda contacted them. I'm guessing Yoda is meditating on Dagobah and when Kanan and Ezra went into the temple, it came up as a blip on Yoda's Force radar because the Force is extremely strong there. If not that, maybe Yoda still has some Jedi tech and it tells him a Temple monitoring system is reading people inside. I'd like to think it's the former though.

I wonder now though if Yoda knighting Kanan will seal Kanan's fate. Now, from a continuity/canon standpoint, no official Jedi can exist when Luke meets with Yoda at the time of ROTJ, since Yoda says Luke is the last of the Jedi.

They also need to tell the modelers/animators that they need to work on their Yoda because something is off about it. I also liked that Ahsoka saw Yoda, but I was hoping he would have more to say to her. Or he knows she is following the right path and didn't need to say anything?

I'm not sure. He could always renounce the jedi like Ahsoka. Or, hopefully, a throw away line in a movie that could not possibly comprehend how much other material would follow it won't make everyone I love and care about die

lol chopper getting a matching leg, i love it!
