Full Series Alexsandr "Hot" Kallus

I tell ya this guy is REALLY starting to get on my nerves! What I would like to see them do is CAPTURE and INTERROGATE him about the empire's plans and also about where those LOTHAL prisoners are!

 

They're not gonna capture him any time soon. Also interrogation seems below the Rebels... Not much they could show on a children's show.

 

Well, Kanan got painfully interrogated by the Grand Inquisitor.

 

I don't recall them actually showing much, huh... And I didn't mean it that it would be inappropriate, I meant it that Disney wouldn't allow Filoni to show the heroes committing questionable acts. Hell, Ezra even spared 3 Stormtroopers that were perfectly fine with killing him.

 

Some very good character development from the episode the honorable ones

Spoiler

He loses some of his Rank and is agent again.
he feels bad for the Lasat Massacre
he holds a grudge against a Lasat bounty hunter who worked for Saw
He is not in on every massacre.

 

This part sort of confuses me. So in season 1 Konstatine outranked him, and at the start of season 2 was he promoted and outranked Konstatine? But now he's been demoted again?

 

I'm not sure but I think this is now the beginning of Kallus having a change of heart!

 

this episode reminds me of:

 

I really hope he doesn't defect.

Pls, Kallus. No. The Rebellion isn't ready for your glorious sideburns.

 

It would be an interesting dynamic. Zeb might be willing to give him a shot, but the other's, they'd be more skeptical.

 

I wonder how long Kallus has been in the Imperial cog.

 

My God, that's hysterical...

Funny thing is, there actually is an answer to his question: the use of the death's head, or totenkopf, actually dates back to the 1740s with the institution of a Prussian bodyguard cavalry regiment under Frederick the Great. It symbolized death, yes, but also the defiance of death, and it became a traditional German military symbol for lifeguard units - so too did the use of the color black for such units. That was why the Nazis used these elements: BECAUSE they were traditional German military symbols. They were trying to appropriate German traditional symbols to imply that their movement was in fact a continuation of certain glorious German traditions. The Nazis also employed the death's head because Hitler wanted in the SS a force upon whose loyalty unto death he could rely utterly, and so he wanted the SS to understand that their very lives were what they were meant to sacrifice for the Fuehrer and the Reich. Under these considerations, our friend the SS Doubting Thomas would actually not have construed these symbols to imply that the rightness of his cause was suspect; they were meant to be seen as symbols OF the rightness of that cause.

Still, that skit was genius.

"I mean, why call it a DEATH Star, anyway? What's the point of that? They're not using the word "death" in THEIR names!"

 

And the Swastika is a Hindu and Buddhist holy symbol dating back thousands of years, that the Nazis twisted and perverted to suit their own ideals.

 

Nazis spoil everything...

 

Kallus was still annoying as he always was to me up until the last few moments of this past Rebels episode... I dunno, seems like he is starting to have a crisis of conscience. I'd like to see how that pans out for him...

 

And this is why we can't have nice things...

 

Watching save the Rebel crew in the season finale or sometime next season.

 

Maybe Rebel crew will get captured by Vader at the end of this season and Kallus will free them?

Do you guys remember Rebel Commander Callus from Legends? http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Callus

 

Also he still needs to pay for what he did to minister tua!

 

They ruined some great things like Mustaches, the hail thing with a lot of people did back then, the Swastika.

Defiantly not their worst crimes, but they really screwed up everything.

 

Their worst makes the minor stuff look petty by comparison.

Anyways, I wonder what the next step for Kallus is going to be.

 

Spoiler

Is he the "new ally" referred to in the finale synopsis?

 

A very decent wild card. It would make more sense than Maul.

 

Oh but I really do want it to be Maul though. He could be like Lord Scourge aboard the Ghost since I'm sure he has his fingers in the Empire and knows an awful lot about his old master (heh) and Vader. I don't believe the guy would be completely clueless of what's going on out there.

 

That would be friggin' awesome.
