Rebels: Ghosts of Geonosis [3x12 + 3x13] ✦ Watchalong Reaction & Review
Added 2023-04-26 14:29:37 +0000 UTCHi everyone! I didn't realize that we had a two-parter in the middle of this season and I hadn't exactly planned on watching four episodes of Rebels this week. I thought I might have time for another one, plus next weeks episodes, but I won't unfortunately. So these are the final two episodes of Rebels until the week of May 8. [Direct link here.]
Please enjoy and we'll see you when I get back from my little vacation!

Though the sith have alwas dreamed of planet busting weapons, the bug people are actually the architects/creators of the Death Star. It was to be a separatists super weapon that the banking clans and techno union would fund. Construction of the station was "planed" to be done over Geonosis. And the weapon would win the war. But as we know, that was never palpatine's plan. For a short time the death star was being built over Geonosisat the same time as the prototype in the Maw System was being built. (to work out any potenial structual problems). Upon the wars end and the formation of the Empire, Papatine ordered Geonosis to be sterilized in order to keep the prooject secret. (kind of like Kamino) The station was then moved to the planet Scarif and the prototype stayed at the Maw system.

2023-04-27 18:49:04 +0000 UTCI always assumed what the empire was doing on Geonosis was creating the Death Star plans and they wiped out the geonosians because they knew about it. I figured the death star is what klik-klak was drawing. I think the poison canisters being round and similar to what Klik-klak was a misdirection. I appreciate that over the course of all the series Saw has gotten some pretty decent character development and I think this episode hints nicely at how he was in Rogue One which is not too far off in the future timeline wise.

2023-04-26 20:43:22 +0000 UTCI don't remember the details of many episodes, and even with your rewatch, when seeing the "circle within a circle" drawing, I thought of the Death Star, afterall, the geonosians had a hand in creating the early plans for the death star as we see in Attack of the Clones. Also, in Star Wars we rarely see someone truly broken by loss, the heros might struggle, but they overcome it in the end (well, for Anakin/Vader it took a long time, but it still counts as overcoming it, I would say). But with Saw we see how the loss of her sister is slowly breaking him and making him go into full madness, the Saw we see in Rogue One, it's sad but from a story point of view, kind of refreshing to see people not recovering from loss.

2023-04-26 19:23:48 +0000 UTCSo, in this two-parter we see more of how much of dangerous rebel Saw can truly be. He's one of my favorite SW characters simply for the complexity of his character. Sometimes you love him and he brings good moral conflict to a story and other times you wanna shake him and snap him outta it. It just sucks that the lost of his sister Steela made him go on a downwards spiral. I'll always have sympathy there for him. And how wonderful is it that we have Forest Whittaker Saw Gerrera in this show and he even voices him! I remember being so hyped seeing Saw in these episodes.

2023-04-26 19:18:59 +0000 UTCLike Bendu said, Kanan needs to learn to see differently. Sort of like when normal people lose a sense, typically others are heightened to compensate and that's how I tend to think about Kanan and seeing through the force. His connection to the force is more active than before the injury so he's "training" or "exercising" his force "muscles" more than before so he's more in tune with the force. Again, bad analogy but that's how I see it in my head.
