BEST.EPISODE.EVER.
Pretty dang fun!
I wanna know who Fulcrum is!
Why is Ezra so powerful and what’s is to become of him?
ezras reminds me of young anakin skywalker with his anger and force abilities. i want to know if his parents are alive. my guess is if they are alive the empire could use them as bait to lure ezra to the dark side.
Well I thought it was Ahsoka, now I’m not so sure. I’m betting it was someone on the Tantive IV though. Leaning towards Bail now.
Isn’t Fulcrum Bail Organa? They’ve never met him and he had great interest in them in the “Droids in Distress”. Plus, the ship they docked with to meet him was Bail’s ship, wasn’t it?
Not to mention, the voice sounds exactly like him.
Fulcrum’s corvette is white/blue. Bail’s corvette is white/red.
It’s not Bail.
I think Fulcrum could be Billy Dee Williams/ Lando Calrisian. Lando’s been confirmed for the show, and he hasn’t showed up yet, so it could very well be him. Just puttin’ it out there.
Leia.
Ezra was born the day the clone wars ended.
i love ceebo i hope his info gets to bail organa
i wanna see some of the empire projects like the dark troopers in star wars rebels
Great episode, cant wait to see appearances by other established rebels. Biggs would be awesome
Good call! Biggs would totally fit into the storyline. If you want the original Biggs story, check out the National Radio broadcast of Star Wars (Star Wars radio drama). It’s the complete unedited script and has way more Biggs in it.
The story of Biggs was, about a year or two before New Hope, he went to join Imperial Academy. While in the Academy, he made friends who convinced him to join the rebels. He came back to Tatooine to say goodbye to everyone before embarking on a quest to find the rebels. He was quoted as saying “If we can’t find the rebels, we’ll do something on our own. Anything to make a difference.”
So, I guess his story would have to wait until at least season 3. But yeah, that would be an excellent tie in to the original trilogy.
Thought for sure Kannan would be revealed as only having attained padawan status this episode
Ezra, Luke and Leia were all born on the same day
I find that a little curious
“Empire Day” and the actual birth of Luke and Leia most likely did not take place on the same day. Too much happened in the last act of Revenge Of The Sith to have taken place in the frame of twenty-four hours, or whatever a standard planetary day is in the Star Wars universe. “Empire Day” most likely took place a while after Palpatine’s New World Order speech was delivered.
I dunno but…this Inquisitor fella strikes me as the date-rape type. Like he would try a force mind trick and if that didnt work he would slip a drug in a twilek chick’s drink or something. When she wakes up he’ll warn her not to say anything or she’ll ‘have to deal with something much longer and warmer’ than his meatsaber.
In Sith circles he goes by Darth Cosby 🙁
You been waiting to lay that one on us, haven’t you?
This and ‘Empire Day’ have shown that this show has potential. Both episodes were quite gripping and showed a new side to Allad…sorry, Ezra. The visuals were really good and the story threw up a lot of possibilities for later episodes. I’ve knocked this show since it began as Star Wars for the under 5s but if it keeps giving us stories like the last two, then I might just end up eating my words.
so is that it finished until a new series is made???
Loved Ezra’s little dark side moment… I hope he falls completely at some point. Sure would spice things up.
I wonder who the Inquisitor is referring to when he said his “master” would be displeased? Sure it’s probably Vader or Palpatine but in this time frame he cannot be an actual with, because of the only 2 rule. Maybe there’s a leader of multiple inquisitors that will be revealed in later episodes /seasons? I hope so because I’ve always felt that only having 2 siths was severely limiting.
In an interview with David Filoni, he mentions that Vader is the leader of the Inquisitors. Since he cannot be everywhere; he sent them out. And if they came across someone like Kaanan, then they would try to handle it. If it was someone like say Master Obi-Wan, and happened to NOT get killed. They would contact Lord Vader to finish it.
Empire Day and Gathering Forces felt like the show has finally grown some teeth. It’s been fun and actiony up to now but these episodes feel like there’s substance and the characters aren’t just running past a storyline.
