This season finale wasn't as good as last season's...but how can it be, Ahsoka vs Vader is pretty flipping cool.
Re:Thrawn His pride is going to be his downfall. His pride, and the fact that in the Imperial Navy there seems to be a whole bunch of backstabbing going on.
My take, Pryce and the others are secretly working at odds to Thrawn to score points with Tarkin, who might legitimately see Thrawn as a threat to his status. Especially if Thrawn can "defeat" the rebels and capture their leadership. We saw in Catalyst and Rogue One that Tarkin jealously guards his status as "Emperor's Favorite".

I enjoyed the season finale but last week's episode still had me a bit...yeah.
Loved the throwaway line with respect to kanan's jedi status/overall power level. May explain much for all but the most acerbic fans.
"I've still got so much to learn..."
"So, uh, Ezra, yeah... I'm barely even a Jedi (and *technically* only by a ghost [of a former nemesis] saying so...), so bud, you've tapped out on this teacher well."
"No, Kanan. I was talking about you being a good example and role model."
"Oh, in that case... PADAWAN!"

I was fully expecting Kallus and/or Kanan to die (especially after Kanan's "I have nothing more to teach you" bit.)
Overall, I enjoyed it. The Rebels got their butts handed to them, but managed to squeak out an escape without taking a total loss to their forces (and they wouldn't have had that if Thrawn's subordinates had followed orders.)

I loved the trailer. I think Lucasfilm is gonna try and tie the final season in with The Last Jedi somehow, that line about "We are the Balance" kinda sounds similar to one of the lines that Rey has in TLJ trailer.
I'm pumped. Also, the Thrawn book is awesome. I'm about 2/3 finished with it. (Can't read as much as I'd like with two kids roaming about the house)

Rebels Season 4
It is indeed the last season :(
But it also seems right that it ends.
Warwick Davis confirmed to be playing Rukh.

A bit underwhelmed with so little preview footage, with most of it being from the finale. But beyond that I'm hyped. I really wasn't expecting a trailer to come out of swco so it was a great surprise when I popped it up on the TV. (An aside damn both this and the last Jedi trailers look good in 4k)
Kanans bit about being Jedi for the sake of lothal seems a bit off. Particularly after the balance part. Did Bendu mess kanans remaining idyllic view of the Order up that bad or is his The Last Guardian dog monster going to have him forsake the rest of his Jedi status to go on a balanced path, especially since he cannot forsake his love for Hera which is a key component of Jediism. Love being an emotion and whatnot.
Also Yavin base! And more mandalorians!

Not to dig up sore spots, Freehold, but a bit more expository info for that Kenobi vs. Maul fight.

So I've been ruminating on where the cast is headed. Just my speculation at this point:
Zeb and Hera make it out alive, and continue their modus operandi.
Kanan dies in the finale or earlier to be the big hero.
Ezra, being less and less Jedi as seasons 3 and 4 have unfolded, takes Kanans loss as a sign and retires the light saber, content on being a force adept guerilla for the rest of his days.
Sabine and Ezra leave an utterly devastated Lothal, shuttling refugees to the Mandalore system. They make space babies.
Chopper continue his career as the most violent robot, upgrading his frame to secretly become 4-LOM.

The episode premiering on February 24 is the 10th episode of the season and is entitled "Jedi Night."
On March 3, episode 11 is called "DUME."
When they canceled Clone Wars I was not happy. I have to say, this series really was better than I thought it would be. I'll be sad to see it go but excited to watch the end unfold.

Storyteller Shadow |

Episodes that were culled from production runs on the authority of the Executive Producers aren't the same as "cancelled." Episodes get cut from production runs all the time.
The story had always been planned to end just prior to the Battle Of Coruscant. It did that.
Incomplete episodes from canceled 'Star Wars: The Clone Wars' animation released online.
Disney Cancels Clone Wars on Cartoon Network, Postpones Star Wars: Detours.
A New Direction for Lucasfilm Animation
While they may have completed the run to bring it to a certain point,
After five highly successful and critically acclaimed seasons of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, we feel the time has come to wind down the series.
Had Disney NOT purchased Lucasfilms, there would have been several more episodes, perhaps another season or two, released. I'd call that cancelled.
I think we can agree to disagree on this.

I love it when the force gets weird and breaks people’s assumptions about how it works. When it truly breaks away from something you couldn’t comfortably list under an RPG powers list. When it gets really mystical is when the force is most exciting for me.
Next episode is Series Finale.

Finally watched the finale. Ezra's exit from the Game of (Space) Thrones was appropriately epic, and should put a lot of the "Yoda said..." whiners to rest.
As for Ahsoka, her regalia was very priestess like, and this whole "Church of the Force" whatever introduced in Lor San Tekka's (old guy w/ map piece who bites it at opening of TFA) back story sounds like a perfect place for a former padawan who has seen the greater force up close to bide her time til Vader's gone.
