Full Series Rebels 3.21-3.22 - Zero Hour (Season Finale!!) - Discussion Thread (Spoilers Allowed)

No spoilers so far anywhere. Meesa sad poodo

 

Some people are saying the ep only went up for a few minutes. Give it a few hours.

 

A thread on Reddit apparently has the spoilers in it, if any of it is true I'm actually sorta disappointed. Sounds very meh, but maybe it will look better seeing it in person then reading about it.

 

Well I think that clearly the episode is not gonna top the last season finale, even the first season finale felt more epic with the Inquisitor Vs Kanan, right now it's only they fighting Thrawn so meh unless they pull a last minute surprise.

 

I saw that. It doesn't sound too bad, but will probably be amazing on screen.

 

The StarWarsLeaks reddit has the spoilers.

Spoiler

So Sato sacrifices himself and rams his ship into Konstantine's and they both die. Thrawn shoots Bendu who disappears into the Force. The rebels flee to Yavin. Kallus goes with them. They also suffer pretty big losses.

 

ohh wow can't wait to actually watch this tomorrow. I hope there are blue torpedoes from the bombers.

 

Spoiler

If those spoilers are correct, well...Konstantine has had it coming for a while now. Glad he finally bit the dust. Sad to see Sato go though, especially with how limited screentime he even got this season. I don't know how impacted I'm going to feel seeing him go, he was only really relevant in the Iron Squadron episode. And the Bendu...gosh the Bendu barely got to do anything either this season! Hope he at least gets to go down doing something cool. The Bendu was such an interesting character and concept...
I'm glad that the rebels suffered heavy losses, if anything...but how in the world did Kallus manage to escape? He was guarded by Death Troopers and in the same room as Grand Admiral Thrawn in the previews. I'm also confused as to why the rebels go to Yavin instead of Dantooine...weren't they just moving Mon Mothma there a few episodes ago?

 

Well that sounds a bit of a let down.

Spoiler

I think overall this season has been a bit of a failure. After the weak departure of Maul last week, I feel we have had too many repeat battles and close escapes, with lots of filler in between. But overall, with the exception of Sabine, the many characters have not really progressed a great deal.

On another site I predicted Sato, Yavin 4 and Kallus going to the Rebellion. I am a bit disappointed. We all knew that was coming with Kallus. Sato isn't, in my opinion, developed anywhere near enough to the extent that I am going to care about his death, and the Bendu going? What a waste. He's barely done anything.

Shame. Sounds like a wasted opportunity to me. I hope the actual episode plays out better than it sounds.But last year's finale was such a ride that this, and indeed the whole season, just feels like an anti-climax.

 

Removed.

 

Situation normal. How are you?
(This was an edit)

 

Fixed

 

Please don't mention piracy in regards to episodes. If it's up on Disney XD or cable companies it's fine, but not pirated sites.

 

Understood!

 

If the rebels get away at all, that may be as much victory as they'll get. Most of the main characters are at risk of dying. So, I guess we'll see.

 

Spoiler

The spoilers above are true
Thrawn confronts Kallus in the first 5 minutes, they fist-fight then Kallus is arrested and Thrawn finds Atollon by analyzing his last transmission as Fulcrum.
Doddona's unit shows up on Atollon to help on the attack on Lothal, then Thrawn shows up and the battle starts
Deaths: Sato (crashes the carrier into the Interdictor), Konstantine (is aboard said Interdictor) and Bendu (kinda) (shot down by AT-ATs and terminated by Thrawn, not before telling him that he can see his defeat)
Ezra, Sabine and the mandalorians destroy the second Interdictor allowing the remaining ships to escape.
Governor Pryce survives
Special appearances: Tarkin, Mon Mothma (both as holograms), Doddona, Ursa and Tristan Wren, Fenn Rau, death troopers
Kallus escapes Thrawn's SD in an escape pod while Thrawn is on the ground assault and is picked up by the Ghost
All of Phoenix Squadron is killed except for the Ghost Crew, Rex, AP-5 and a few pilots (including Wedge and Hobbie of course)
AP-5 and Rex mention they are heading for Yavin at the end of the episode
The battle is pretty intense, especially on the ground. Thrawn would have killed Hera, Doddona, Kanan, etc if it wasn't for the Bendu going ape**** on everyone
If you want more details ask me

 

Spoiler

What was Hera's reaction to meeting Sabine's family (if she did at all) and we're she and Kanan happy to see Sabine?

We're there any hints at season 4?

 

Spoiler

The only interaction between Hera and Sabine's family is at the very end when Hera is thanking Ursa (through hologram) for the help. Hera then allows Sabine to return to Mandalore. This is aboard the Ghost and Tristan is with them.
Kanan and Hera exchange a few lines about the family being together again when they learn that Sabine has arrived. Kanan and Sabine have no interaction
The only hint for season 4 is that the rebel survivors are heading to Yavin, Kallus officially joins the rebellion and Sabine is going back to Mandalore

 

Spoiler

So the spoilers are correct...I dunno what to think of that, in all honesty.

Wait, who is telling who of seeing their defeat? Bendu can see Thrawn's defeat? Not in this episode, of course, but in the future?
I sincerely hope that isn't a sign Thrawn is going to end up dead in the next season.

 

Bendu saud

Spoiler

I see you defeat like many arms surrounding you in a cold embrace

 

Hmm...if true, these spoilers sound acceptable to me, though some things I would've preferred different.

 

Spoiler

I have to say the direction and writing in this episode is really good so you might like it better when watching it . The only complain I may have is that Ezra arriving on Mandalore and Kallus' escape feel a little rushed but it's understandable.
Yes, Thrawn is about to kill Bendu and Bendu says he can see what Thrawn can't: his defeat, "like many arms surrounding you in a cold embrace...", then Thrawn shoots him and Bendu isn't there anymore (we see Thrawn pulling the trigger and on the next shot Bendu is gone, there is no corpse)

 

Spoiler

Yes, that's probably what happened, but we have seen Bendu dissappearing before. Still, I don't think he's coming back
