The next story goes to get into spoilers for the newest episode of The Mandalorian, episode 5. Should you haven’t but caught up with the episode, and also you wish to stay unspoiled, then cease studying and bounce again over to a different story on the positioning.
Star Wars tv reveals do a superb job of reminding us they’re a part of the bigger Star Wars galaxy. Moreso than the movies do (or did, since there hasn’t been a movie in 4 years now). The Mandalorian will casually return to Jabba the Hutt’s palace to indicate Boba Fett taking up the place the crime lord as soon as sat. Or Luke Skywalker, within the put up Return of the Jedi period, will seem in an episode so he can prepare Grogu. However the reveals are going the additional mile to additionally embody characters who now we have solely seen in animation earlier than, be it Cade Bane from Star Wars: The Clone Wars, or Rosario Dawson’s wonderful transformation into Ahsoka Tano.
Effectively, the enjoyable continued on the brand new episode of The Mandalorian, and it’s getting me very excited for the opportunity of a Star Wars Rebels reunion on the upcoming Ahsoka tv present, as soon as it lands on Disney+ later this yr.
After pirates return to the planet Nevarro and begin chaos, Greef Karga (Carl Weathers) sends a misery sign that’s picked up by X-Wing pilot Captain Carson Teva (Paul Solar-Hyung Lee). Because the New Republic soldier contemplates motion, he’s joined by Garazb Orrelios, higher often known as Zeb, from the animated Star Wars Rebels collection. I WANT TO DRINK AND HANG OUT IN THE X-WING PILOT BAR!
Zeb has an extended historical past of contributing to the Insurrection, having witnessed the destruction of his residence world of Lasan. Throughout Star Wars Rebels, he piloted the ship Ghost, and teamed with Jedi-in-training Ezra Briger (after the younger man poached items that Zeb, Kanan Jarrus, and Sabine Wren themselves have been making an attempt to steal). Seeing Zeb in stay motion was a really nice shock, although I suppose one I ought to have anticipated… as a result of his colleagues Ezra and Sabine are about to make their live-action debuts in Ahsoka.
We predict, at this level, that the upcoming Ahsoka present goes to be working concurrent to Season 3 of The Mandalorian, giving us a chance for a Star Wars Rebels reunion in live-action. Star Wars is getting the band again collectively! Most likely. Why else would The Mandalorian convey Zeb again to be a small supporting function in an episode that had a lot occurring, if to not remind the viewers that Zeb’s on the market… proper earlier than two of his closest collaborators, Ezra and Sabine, are about to get their live-action debut?
It has been thrilling to see Rosario Dawson breathe life into Ahsoka for her upcoming present, and episodes of The Mandalorian and The Guide of Boba Fett. I feel will probably be equally thrilling to see our Star Wars Rebels mates collectively once more, and this time in live-action. At the least, that’s why I feel we noticed Zeb on display screen once more in The Mandalorian. I’m excited to be confirmed proper, someday quickly.
