So you're getting two episode reactions released today so that the final two episodes will drop on Friday! I'm sure y'all are good with that. 😏 This means I'll be adjusting the schedule of exclusive reactions a tiny bit starting next week. More info to come on that!

Honestly, the R2 being a dog and Chopper being a cat makes a lot of sense.

Love when Hera uses chopper's C1-10P name, like a mom using the full name when you're in trouble. Chopper is great, AP is great, and they're now like the new 3PO/R2 duo for Rebels. They're a lot of fun. Also not sure if it's been said before, but Filoni said that if R2 is a dog, then Chopper is a cat. Also Filoni "voices" chopper.

Yes, their lack of care for Deiser felt really off! I still enjoyed the episode but yeah, that is a minor complaint.

Two fun episodes. It is an important move for the rebel fleet to have a base of operations, it certainly does help with logistics, specially as it continues to grow. On other notes, I didn't remember that the cargo hauler we saw in The Bad Batch was also introduced in Rebels! But I feel very bad for Lieutenant Deiser, I think she might be one of the few rebel pilots/soldiers who gets named in Rebels (other than of course generals and commanders). And I feel like completely "forgetting" about her once Rex is found is out of character for our crew, specially for Hera (but also the others). I can accept that the situation was quite bad and that they might have had to leave her behind, but I feel like the writers should have put in a couple of lines to show that it is a conscious and very hard decision for them to take. The way it plays out in the episode seems like they ONLY care about rescueing Rex, which just feels wrong and, as I said, out of character for the rebels.

Super cool! The Zeb relaxing scene was so fun. I keep forgetting these folks need some down time too.

I love the scene where we see Ezra and Zeb chatting while Zeb relaxes to "Zeb Rock" the music you hear in the background. There's also a really cool poster to the left that depicts a man and woman. The man is inspired by Ralph McQuarrie's concept art for Han Solo both outfit and facial appearance when Han had hair sticking up and a beard wearing a long cape. The woman looks to be inspired by the Luke Skywalker who was actually a woman in some of the original concept art. If you look up *Ralph McQuarrie Han Solo and Luke Skywalker* you'll find some fun reference pictures. The large spider creatures known as krykna spiders like alot of aspects of Rebels are based on Ralph McQuarrie artwork. They're based on the enormous arachnids found in the swamps of Dagobah for Empire Strikes Back concept art.
