OFFICIAL NEWS Rebels S3 Trailer

Does this remind anyone else of the Bendu that Kanan visits for a secret in S3?​

 

Yea, where's that picture from?

 

This was the thought I had on the matter as well!

The last lines uttered by Ezra (because I feel like they'll have Kanan so a self-sacrifice thing to hold off an approaching Vader) could be something like "I'll meet you at the rendezvous point on Alderaan."

This way we can either assume that he made it there and was killed when the planet was destroyed (cleanest option), or was waylaid for a few years, maybe frozen in carbonite by a bounty hunter, and then they can resume his adventures in novels or comics that take place post-ROTJ. He could even become a member of Luke's Academy up until Luke's nephew thins the herd.

Regardless, he needs to be out of the running during the events of the OT.

 

I agree although to me the thing you mentioned about them being a threat to Vader or the Emperor is still technically wordplay or a copout. Obviously we know they aren't going to pop out of no where on the deathstar and take out Vader and the Emperor during ROTJ but still, it messes with the story in that if Luke was killed at some point in the OT the other characters could feasibly end up coming into the picture to fight Vader/The emperor the way they are in the Rebels series. To me that without question cheapens Luke's story which is the root of the OT story. There can't be any other option for the OT to have the weight it does. It's Luke or Leia. Do or die and that's it. I hope they preserve that. Which I think they will (fingers crossed).

 

Until I saw this pic, I thought he had his eyes cut out. Looks like the saber just came close enough to blind him/ cause minor burning.

Well, they just have to fall off the Jedi path. I mean, Vader was a jedi, but Yoda's comments don't apply to him. Maybe because I was an EU kid, but I always thought where were tons of minor force wizards floating about.

It would suck if they just became Ahsoka like and shed the name. If they are around, I'd like to see them on a very different path and not basically non-jedi in name only.

Did any of this really matter in terms of the plot? It was the key emotional part of the film, but if Luke didn't have a chance to deal with vader or the emperor, wouldn't they still have been blown up in the deathstar?

Lando is the real hero of ROTJ to me. He realizes that the shields are still up, comes up with the strategy to survive until the shields go down, then blows up the DS killing Vader and the emperor.

I completely agree with the sentiment. Would you hate it is Kanan were dead and Ezra was just a pirate? I mean, Maz Kanata is around, strong in the force and not a jedi.

 

IIRC, that image is from SW Galaxies TCG: Galactic Hunters.

The way I see, it Yoda and Obi-Wan meant specifically Luke and Leia because they are Skywalker's. Surely even if we assume all the "Rebels" force users are dead there are other force users out there in the galaxy which could theoretically join the fight, so I don't see how it's a problem either way. So to me that's why only "The last of the Jedi you will be" line is a problem, because it _is_ a copout if Ahsoka, Kanan or Ezra (assuming he hasn't gone to the dark side) lives. I mean, they are Jedi in all but name. Even Ahsoka, despite declaring "I'm no Jedi". That to me is a technicality. She was trained as a Jedi, she has the prowess/skill of a Jedi.. she's a Jedi in all but name. I suppose it depends on how strictly we want to define "Jedi", but whatever. So in any case they have to rely on a technicality if any of those characters live.

Despite what Yoda says there must certainly be other force users out there, just not (known) Jedi. And I just saw Maz Kanata mentioned, so there's one. So to me those folks could in theory become Jedi. So in a way, "The last of the Jedi you will be" sort of only refers to the present tense. He's not the only Jedi that could be, just the only one at that particular moment.

 

Yeah, I can see how a potential random mention from one character from a post-ROTJ book or comic comes as "Remember the Phoenix Squadron and the Rebels from Lothal?" or something like that.

Totally worth reading. Glad they did this crossover rather than keeping the storyline from "Splinter of the Mind's Eye".

Yoda and Obi-Wan know what are the ties between Darth Vader and Luke/Leia. Kanan might be a Jedi but it is not related to Vader. Ahsoka was his padawan, but there are no relatives. Maybe they were implying that.

Totally true. Until we have the whole perspective we will be able to see if it is OK or not.

Best way to take it.

I know. It breaks my heart too since I've grown fond of all of them, but life on a GFFA is not always fair.

Not actually a bad idea.

I guess Yoda didn't want to mention her since she broke his heart like hundred of years ago. LOL.

 

I always thought that when he says, "No...there is another" he is always reffering to Leia as a potential force user to TRAIN and Ezra and all --- if they are even alive --- are probably already trained enough by then
..

 

I've not read that either.

 

No worries, it was a EU/Legends (non canon) book about Luke and Leia adventures vs Darth Vader that are not that good. Alan Dean Foster wrote that book, that was the following storyline for ANH in case the Episode IV movie was not successful - glad it was lol - and taking out of the picture Han Solo in case Harrison wasn't keen on coming back lol. So glad it worked the other way lol.

 

Oh that's interesting, I've learned something new. Thanks.

 

You're welcome! Actually I reckon that's one of the evidences that Lucas didn't originally plan Leia to be Luke's sister. They don't really have something worse than the creepy kiss in Hoth, but there are several uncomfortable situations when you realise they are siblings lol.

 

I think you mean Vader's daughter. I now wanna buy the book just see what your talking about.

 

Lol was just editing it when I saw your reply. LOL. Thanks!

 

Don't you mean TWIN "sister" ?

 

Wouldn't make sense really would it? If they weren't twins.

 

I'm thinking you don't actually want to go that far. I may have read much of or all of that book but I don't remember. I owned that book as a child, I'm not sure if I had it in the years between ESB and ROTJ or just after ROTJ but I'd have been pretty young either way. In any case, my guess is that you'd be much better off just researching the events of that book online.

 

Ahsoka does not have to die, She is not a Jedi. Vader never killed all force sensitives, he killed the Jedi. Luke being the last hope does not mean there where not more force sensitives or even more hidden Jedi. He may have just been the last one powerful enough to face off with Palpatine and or Vader. Even Yoda was barely Palpatines equal. OB1 would not have had a chance VS Sideous he could barely fight Dooko.
