Where do you think they came from? We know that Hera is aware of a larger movement but I wasn't expecting to be this organized yet. Well, I suppose we could chalk all that up to the fact that we haven't really seen much of the galaxy outside of Lothal at this point so speculation as to the whereabouts of Mon Mothma and Co. is open. I just hope they have a good explanation for what happens. It would be pretty shitty if the Rebels come to save the day and they're all just there out of the clear blue sky. In that scenario, I would expect some sort of filler answer like, "They all heard your message guys! Congratulations!" which would just be BS. I want to know why the Rebels are choosing to make themselves known now and where they've been. I wouldn't mind meeting some cool side characters in the Rebellion as well.

Freeze framing on the clip, it looks to be that the bulk of the space battle is on the Empire's part, whilst the Rebels have only a few blockade runners showing up alongside the Ghost and the ship that gets stolen earlier in the episode (which can be seen in the recent RR clip). On the other hand, Star Destroyer clearly in flames, so unless that's from sabotage, there's maybe something bigger fighting on the Rebel side?

My guess is that they're reinforcements from Fulcrum in particular, either being told by Hera about the rescue, or realising its going down regardless of what they say to dissuade it. So they scramble what few ships they can - the blockade runners - to help give the Ghost crew just a bit more of a fighting chance.

Also this is me right now:

Fulcrum probably organized them. Bail Organa is also going to be in this episode, so he could be involved somehow as well.

If the Base Delta Zero theory proves true, it's also possible that the Rebels come together because of that.

Oh hey, the TIE fighter they stole is back.

With an ad campaign like this, somebody better die.

Theory: the Inquisitor dies, and that's why Darth Vader shows up.

The show is called Good Morning AMERICA, not Good Morning Communists.

VPNs are your friend~

But yeah, I'd be surprised if someone doesn't end up dead from this - not as if the show hasn't proven willing to off characters if need be. On the other hand, there's a difference between the marketable main cast, and Bulk and Skull.

It's now on YouTube, so that may work for non-US folks:

I saw a cool idea about the Inquisitor dying. Perhaps if he dies, next year he could be replaced by another Inquisitor.

Mara Jade.

They could fix a lot of stuff by killing all the stupid characters in this episode. I hope the Inquisitor takes Chopper down with him. Chopper should just selflessly save the Ghost crew and never be heard of again.

Theres a theory that Kanans gunna die and Fulcrum will end up being Ahsoka and take over the training.

Someone always has to fall in these finales. T_T

I hope the Inquisitor reveals his tragic backstory. "I was once a nice Jedi on Utapau but then this creep named Sheev stole everything from me."

I hope/don't think he needs one.

That would be good if predictable. Since the main problem I have with the show is that the crew seems fairly untouchable.


I think the custom TIE is dumb.

I REALLY hope Fulcrum isn't Ahsoka.

That'd ruin it, to be honest, and it's too obvious.

Also, the trailer just says "Who will fall". In Star Wars, that could mean 'fall to the Dark Side'.
As in Ezra.

I don't think it'd ruin it at all. That's exactly who I want Fulcrum to be. It's the running consensus online too.

That said, I am starting to get concerned that Fulcrum isn't Ahsoka, and is actually one of Ezra's parents. Which would be super lame.

Does the ghost of Evil! Picard still haunt us to this day?
