Rebels Recap - 3.17 Through Imperial Eyes
Boy, This Is Some Rescue
The Rebels suspect Fulcrums cover has been blown, so Ezra gets himself arrested along with Chopper and AP-5 to get him out. There were so many ways this could have gone wrong, even before Thrawn showed up.
Kallus ends up saving everyone and staying behind. So I guess this whole operation really could have gone better.
“Hey, gramps, you want to fill me in?” Dude, you guys are the same age. You might even be a little older, Kanan.
Once again Kanan and Rex go under cover as troopers. He may have lost weight, but Rex still can’t fit into his armor.
Kanan gets shot mid mind trick, but Rex’s fight with Price was still pretty cool right up until she shot him. Why did he say he didn’t want to hurt her?
The Frame Job
Thrawn is closing in on the spy and the Rebel base. Uh oh.
Hey, look, it’s Colonel Yularen of the ISB. Remember when he was an admiral and also a good guy. He certainly still thinks he’s a good guy. He’s probably one of those officers who feels the Empire is the natural successor to the Republic and the Rebels are the same Separatist scum he’s spent the last 20 years playing wack-a-mole with.
Poor Lt. List keeps getting duped by Rebel agents. Kallus plays him like a fiddle, convincing him to go after Price. He’s so over eager to redeem his failure with Leia, the poor schmuck practically frames himself.
There was a surprising amount of world building detail that went into Kallus’s frame job. I finally learned what those dumb pen things everyone has are for one thing. And the fact that the different data ports provide different levels of access in different locations for another.
Man, Ezra’s impersonation of List was terrible. Good thing he’s got the Force.
Thrawn For A Loop
Hey, remember when I was so unimpressed by the blue wonder I thought all he was good for was spinning mission failures into Xanatos Gambits? Well, I take it all back.
Dude’s pattern recognition skills are off the charts, creating the map of potential bases like that. When you think about it, having Chopper only change one planet on it was kind of short sighted. What if he has it memorized and noticed the difference?
Neither Thrawn or Yularen actually bought Kallus’s attempted frame up. Poor Yularen is so disappointed in his former star pupil.
Thrawn figures the whole thing based on Sabine’s artwork on Ezra’s discarded helmet. Take that everyone who said art education was useless.
