Whew what an episode.
The search for Kenobi begins.

Which is somewhat ironic considering one of the key figures of the Rebellion already knows where he is. :/

Lmao. Totally forgot about that. Wonder how they will explain that. I don't see them reaching Kenobi.
I hope Maul doesn't kill Obi-Wan
I laughed
Good episode.
In all, S03E10 was one of the better Thrawn episodes and S03E11 was probably the best episode since the holocron episode, imo.
Sabine has the mutha effin DARKSABER YOOOOOOOO!
Soooo if Maul/Kenobi have a showdown it has some pretty huge implications in terms of what they could do in a live action Kenobi film/duology/trilogy featuring McGregor. It just wouldn't have the same impact if they fight again in those film(s) if they have already faced off in Rebels. Really sucks the drama out of the situation. So for that reason, I think that if they do actually go that route in the show, the Kenobi films will be about something very different. And, that probably does make the most sense... For the live action viewers, Maul is gone. If he returns in a feature film it's going to seem strange. It's business that is maybe best handled in the animated shows.

If they do get around to a
Kenobi film, they should just base it on the Legends novel.

Really great episode. They've been on a real upswing lately.

Unless they DO find him and that's how Leia knows he's on Tattooine.
I don't think them finding Kenobi creates a plot hole, I think it SOLVES one.
Nice. Pablo mentions that the back half of the season was created with the knowledge it would come out post Rogue One and thus will address elements from it.

I kept hoping to catch a glimpse of Mother Talzin or Asaaj among the ghosts, but it never happened.
It's a real shame Asoka isn't around to findout about Obi-Wan being alive.
Would have been nice to see them reunite. Bail never told her that he was alive. (unless he did further after the book)
I trust them to do the latter.

To me it depends on how they play it. Potentionally it could feel like it creates a plothole, but depending on how they and the story group handle it it could also explain a few of the mysterys from the original trilogy that pop-up with Rebels in the timeline and make it seem more consistent if anything.
I trust them to do the latter.
Apparently the Mandalorian said Kenobi aswell.
Yeah I was waiting for that to happen aswell. Would have been a nice way to bring them back one more time for a littlebit even though they're dead.
I finally caught up, loved the last two episodes. I hope we get an episode with the the Ersos or at least Saw Gerrera with Whitaker's appearance.
A real shame the Dathomirians (Mauls people) and Geonosians are seemingly wiped out. Empire on genocide mode.
So much this. But I guess that would be too much of a good thing and ruin pacing

Also more Bendu. There's a mystery there that I want solved. (And I just want to hear Tom Baker's voice more.)

The Empire seems to have wiped out the Geonosians, but the Nightsisters and Nightbrothers were wiped out by the Separatists.
I thought Maul said it was the Empire due to the power they wielded. Still a shame.
I wish this aired on ABC primetime, with higher production values. I know...
I'm hoping Filoni's new project will be that

So, thoughts on the Bendu's voice going all...Dark? And baiting them to Maul?
Still trying to balance the force by bringing them together? Or did Maul gain influence?

He said they were wiped out because their power was a threat to the Empire. Which is true. Sidious wanted them gone, and had Dooku et al deal with them, and then finally got rid of Talzin in SoD. Just because the Empire itself didn't exist yet doesn't matter, this is Palpy master of the long game, getting rid of problems while they are still small.

Maybe Ezra and Kanan aren't around by that time.
Duane Cunningham

Kanan, Ezra and Ahsoka don't exactly count as Jedi, though. Kanan and Ahsoka are close, but they didn't graduate. I mean, Ahsoka dropped out, and the school burned down around Kanan.
Hell, Luke is kinda questionable too, but I guess if Yoda and Obi Wan say you're a Jedi, you're a Jedi.

Oh right, I forgot about that! Yeah, okay, Kanan is a Jedi.
Kanan won't make it out of Rebels. I think he's gone this season or next, if there's another.
I suspect they'll write Sabine out as well, it seems like they have plans for her to be take on a role in Imperial, Post-Imperial Mandalorian storylines.
I could see them incorporating a Rogue One character into the main team. Maybe Wedge even, on load from Dodanna. I do expect the show to shift considerably after Season 3, as we inch closer and closer into ANH/Rogue One's time period.
That said, I think Rebels has maybe one season left in it. The Maul storylines probably wraps this season and I think Thrawn survives another season. We know that his plan to draw out the larger Rebel cause will ultimately fail because, well, Episodes 4-6 happen. I do think they'll give Thrawn a victory at the end of Season 3 to have him fail in Season 4.
On Rebels Recon, it seems they're working some Rogue One stuff into the next half of Season 3, super curious.
And the seemingly inevitable appearance of
in Season 3 raises an interesting question:
Stay tuned for mind bombs.

Obi-Wan
If the rumors that Obi-Wan and the Kenobi name plays a role in the Sequel Trilogy are true, and they appear to be, the appearance of Obi-Wan in Rebels must be completely intentional.
Not necessarily. The crawl said that rebel spaceships striking from a hidden base had won their first victory against the Empire. Not that it was the first major victory for any cell or the Alliance.

I have yet to see the first film of the trilogy.
"Rebel spaceships, striking from a hidden base, have won their first victory against the evil Galactic Empire."
i feel the comma would give emphasis that it was not specifically Rebel spachships from a hidden base, but Rebel Spaceships, as if it were the Rebel alliance as a whole doing the mission, which it seems to be, striking from their hidden base, which i would assume to be Yavin IV, before it is named.

I'm curious to hear James Arnold Taylor do Old Obi's voice. I don't think he's done it yet.
Makes sense though, given the place that they were in. Did you watch the Nightsister episodes of TCW?
I'm not sure who did it, but whoever played old Obi-Wan in Disney Infinity 3.0 did a pretty good Alec Guiness voice impression.
Technically i think he did in a movie already but it didn't make the final cut.
I did.
That whole thing could've been handled better but this is Rebels, so I can't expect much.

Consensus on this season? Considering buying S3 on Amazon and going on a binge before Rogue One comes out.
Feels like the second half of the season is really going to pick up the pace, but I'd say it's already the show's strongest season thus far.

I hope Maul doesn't kill Obi-Wan
I hope he does and OB1 aka Old Ben rises from the ashes.

What if Maul kills Obi Wan and then goes undercover as him to take down the Emperor?

A bit of info on the upcoming episodes in January - thankfully a very short break. I don't think there's anything too spoilery in here:
