​Oh my god, I just realized something about Hera and that meilorun fruit in season 1, and now I’m literally crying.
​Remember in season 4 when Hera tells Kanan, "You haven't given me anything since the day we met"? This means that for about 15 years, he literally never gave her a single gift! And then, back in the very first episodes, Zeb and Ezra hands her this meilorun. The boys completely messed up the mission and lost the entire cargo, but they remembered what she asked for.
​Look at her face — she instantly forgets she was supposed to scold them. She holds that fruit like it’s the most precious treasure in the Galaxy. It’s because she so RARELY gets anything meant just for her!
​And when you remember that meiloruns grew back at her home on Ryloth, and she used to steal them from the kitchen as a kid... This fruit is her only connection to a happy childhood before the war took everything away. And the fact that in the series finale, Ezra leaves a meilorun in her cabin with a note saying, "...hope you still like them"...
​My poor girl. She carries the weight of the entire world on her shoulders, giving everything she has without expecting anything in return. And this chaotic space family of hers were the only ones who thought of giving her a little piece of home comfort. I love her so much. 💚💚💚💚
