#for when zeb is mad at Ezra

[martianbugsbunny]

Bout to make myself look like a real doofus, but when I first got into other people’s Kalluzeb content, I was clueless to the fact that Sasha is a nickname for Alexsandr, so I assumed it was a fanon Lasat word for ‘dear’ or ‘darling’ or something along those lines. I’m pretty sure I didn’t realize I was wrong until I looked on Wookiepedia to see if it was maybe a canon/canon-inspired word, and there was zip on the Lasat language. Then it occurred to me it was probably a nickname so I googled “Is Sasha a nickname for Alexsandr?” and I finally understood.

Anyway, can we come up with a fanon word in Lasat for ‘darling’ or ‘dear’? Because fics that use Mando’a have really spoiled me, there are so many cute pet names and ways of referring to your various people, and I need words like that in Lasat.

(Also, writers who have Zeb call him Sasha, ILY, I will lie down in the street so you don’t have to walk through puddles and ruin your shoes/the hems of your pants if you’re short, I want to give you all of my high-fives and hugs if you don’t mind, it’s literally the cutest softest nickname for him e v e r and it melts me)

HAVE YOU SEEN HIM?

With Zeb's surprise appearance in the teaser for The Mandalorian and Grogu at D23 on Friday night (Leaked video), it was inevitable to make me wonder yet again where my favorite bastard ex-imperial is. As Rebels fan, we keep winning 😁 but his very notorious absence from live-action is annoying! Especially since there are so many shows/movies where he could pop up!

After Zeb's cameo on the Mandalorian season 3, I was pretty sure Kallus would appear in Ahsoka. And if you ask me, there was a lost opportunity in the second (Third???) episode (the one when Hera and Ahsoka go to Correllia). He didn't even have to make a physical appearance. I'd have been satisfied with his voice (triple points if it had been voiced by David Oyelowo) in a simple comm call —no face shown, hence DO's voice— between him and Hera. I mean, who else was perfect for telling Hera about possible spies and ex-imperials than a guy who works/ed on intelligence?! And was an ex-imperial himself! *Sighs* Anyways...

I expect him to (and probably will be disappointed when he doesn't) appear on Andor season 2. I mean, come on!!! That should be a given. I understand that he wasn't on season 1 because he was already deployed to Lothal and was being a bastard trying to kill the Ghost Crew by then, but they don't have an excuse anymore! Kallus was on Yavin IV the last year of Cassian's life, both working as fulcrum agents! You can't tell me that they didn't cross path on hallways every day during that time. I don't need Kallus to be essential for the plot of season 2, I just want a little cameo. That's not too much to ask!

But in the case that it's indeed too much to ask, and he's not in Andor season 2, he still can be seen on the Mando movie! He could be the one giving intel to Teva and/or Zeb to pass along to Din about the Imperial remnants whereabouts, so Mando and Grogu can hunt them down. Like I've said before, who could be better for that job than Alexsandr Kallus? Again, I don't need the entire movie focused on him (but I won't be mad if he's on for more than 5 minutes either).

And even if they pass that opportunity as well (they're idiots if they do), there's still Ahsoka season 2! Because you can't say to me that Kallus will sit out the round 2 against Thrawn. Yeah, nope. That's not happening. Not ever. Not even if he's on Lira San right now, he'll come out of retirement just to help kick Thrawn ass again. He's not leaving Zeb, Hera, Ezra, and Co., to fight him without him. Nuh-huh!

I NEED LIVE-ACTION ALEXSANDR KALLUS NOW!!!

I have spoken!

[jackieparty]

i love all of the spectres being supportive of kalluzeb in their own ways

hera is obviously there to gently remind both of them separately that if they ever need someone to talk to (especially about relationship shit) she’s there. she’s especially gentle with kallus because she knows talking about emotional things is really difficult for him

kanan is maybe the most subtle of the crew, giving them smiles and nods whenever he notices they sneak away together and despite being blind he Always knows when their force signatures are more similar to rebellious teenagers than normal absolute tank zeb and stuck-up kallus

sabine does draw stupid little cartoons of them hugging or kissing on kal’s notes when they’re in meetings together but she also spends a lot of time with kallus even when he’s not dragged everywhere with zeb. at first it was just a supportive measure for zeb to show that she liked his partner but it slowly turned into her genuinely enjoying spending time with kallus. they like target practice together and playing card games at the tapcafe. the only thing that gets her mad at him is when he says she’s too young to drink and he “absolutely will not order” her a drink “missy”

ezra, unlike his master, is not subtle at all. all signs of affection between the two of them have him yelling “EW ZEB” and “GROSS” but he does it to show his support, strangely enough. due to a lack of space, kallus bunks with zeb when he comes along for missions (doesn’t happen much though) and ezra always makes sure to take holos of them snoring together to send to the rest of the crew because “TWO people snoring??? how am i supposed to get my beauty rest???”

chopper still makes snide comments to zeb but a lot of them are now threatening to tell kallus when he’s acting like a dumbass or when he’s picking on “kal’s favorite droid.” and of course when he’s not following hera he’s on kallus’s heels, bocking conversationally because kal always answers him and enjoys talking to the droid

sigh. kalluzeb and the ghost crew

[bewareofraiju]

The main reason I want Cal and Merrin to have a bio child is to add fuel to my theoretical Kata and Ezra's rivalry. And both ship crews' dynamic in general.

Imagine the Ghost crew and the Mantis crew meet each other in the future: the two Padawans, first start making snide remarks to the other and then show off their force abilities. Sabine, being the Gadfly of the situation, constantly comes up with new challenges to fuel their antagonism.

Meanwhile, Jacen and the Merrical child REALLY don't like each other and they are viciously fighting because "my parent/big sibling is better than yours!" and they need to be separated by Zeb and Greez. Yes, a 6′8″ feet tall Lasat and a four-armed Latero are struggling to hold back two little kids when they are about to get physical while criticizing the other for failing to keep their kid in check.

In the meantime Chopper and BD-1 have basically developed a relationship akin to Tom & Jerry. As meaning that they are always on the verge of killing each other in a battle of violent slapstick and 50s cartoon hijikins.

Hera and Merrin are watching all the chaos unfold in the background. Hera is drinking caf, she's too tired to intervene because being a General of the New Republic takes its toll and at the end of the working day she does not have the energy to stop the madness. However, a silent and seemingly stoic Merrin is greatly enjoying the ongoing havoc.

And in all this chaos, where are their husbands? Cal and Kanan (yes, Kanan is alive, what is this 'Jedi Night' you speak of?) are passed out piss drunk in the floor after a night of catching up with their old friend and remembering the good ol' days at the Jedi Temple.

Rebels rewatch liveblog: Season 1, Episode 4: “Fighter Flight”

I love how Ezra immediately tries to flirt with Sabine - it’s very realistic for a 15 yo boy. I like that they just ended up as friends/siblings though, it shows both of their character development and maturity

…

Thank god Chopper never met the 501st because his little shit instincts would have overdeveloped

…

Kothal on Lothal? How on earth did they get that?

…

We really don’t give a lot of credit to Hera, she deserves more 😭😭

…

Okay but why does the Empire need meilooruns?

…

Usually when characters speak to themselves it sounds odd and sort of like a video game, but in Rebels they do a good job of making it sound natural

…

Zeb’s insistence that Ezra and him need to be even makes me wonder if the Lasats had a life-debt culture? It’s canon in other cultures such as gungans, so it wouldn’t be that much of a stretch…

…

I love Hera and Sabine’s dynamic

…

“THE KIDS”?? “THE KIDS”?? You are correct sir, you and Hera and the exhausted parents, Zeb is the older brother, Sabine is the cooler older sister that everyone is intimidated by, and Ezra is the disaster youngest who’s the parents favorite and no one can stay mad at. (Honorable mention: Vodka uncle Chopper)

…

Rebels s1 shows the Empires day to day, which I love. Sort of like Andor but with much lower stakes - of course they’re taking farms, of course they’re buying meilooruns at a local market.

…

I love the reference to a new hope ❤️❤️

…

Ezra’s absurdly powerful for someone who’s only trained with the force for like?? a week?? Like he’s already sensing obstacles and pushing buttons. Speaking of, i think that it would have been interesting to explore the idea of Ezra using the force before he met the Ghost crew - not knowing what it is, just knowing that it helps to convince storekeepers to give him food

…

“You did all this for fruit” stormtrooper you will always be famous

…

Ezra it’s YOUR backpack 1. Why do you not know what’s in it?? And 2. Why do you have a WRENCH?

…

Brother brother bonding time by killing stormtroopers and hiding stolen vehicles <3

…

Zeb trying to show that he cares by giving Ezra the helmet, only for Ezra to dismiss it is so sad, but it probably speaks volumes for the social skills that Ezra couldn’t develop on the streets (he took it tho <33)

[am-i-obsessed---maybe]

hello!!! sosoosososo sw rebels. gn reader and ezra and reader have a sibling relationship. in my mind its like zeb and ezra but tamer .. if you can somehow fit hurt/comfort into the story thatd be fun!!! but ty for reading and doing this request if you do!!! 🫶🫶

I don't know if this is tamer than Ezra and Zeb but it's kinda like a mashup of Ezra and Zeb and Ezra and Sabine. That being said be ready for my favorite Star Wars ship and the parents of the Ghost family to be very good parents.

Also Hera's voice actress also voices Black Canary on Young Justice and between this and the Shadow Of A Bluejay series I think you can tell I want her to be my mom.

Am I slightly projecting? Is the reader Autistic coded? Who knows but I found myself projecting my own communication issues on Mandalorians so...

Masterlist

"Y/N"...

"Y/N"...

The doors to your room opened but you didn't look up, you were after all very comfortable on your top bunk polishing your blaster.

"You know one micro movement and I can splatter your insides on that wall right?" You asked, still not looking up from your blaster.

"You wouldn't do that" Ezra said confidently.

"I might not mean to, seeing as you keep coming in here without knocking" You told the slightly younger boy. He rolled his eyes.

"I was calling your name" Ezra said.

"And I wasn't listening" You replied.

"Well that's not my fault" He said.

"What do you want anyway shorty?" You asked and that got to him.

"We are the same height!" He exclaimed.

"No we're not" You said calmly.

"It is by half a centimeter, it's the same height" He insisted.

"No. It's not" You reiterated.

"You know what, forget it" Ezra said, storming out of your room.

"Oh come on, you know I'm joking" You said, finally putting the blaster away and going after Ezra.

It had only been a few months since the kid joined, maybe you were a bit too comfortable with your teasing but you thought it was a game.

"Ezra come back here!" You yelled after the little streak of blue hair you saw running out of the open hull of the Ghost.

"What's going on here exactly?" Hera asked, she'd heard yelling and saw Ezra run off.

"He just ran off!" You told her but she raised a brow in question.

"Okay, maybe there was some teasing but he came into my room without knocking. That's against the rules" You told her.

"You gotta let up on him, he's not used to... well to you yet. And you can be a lot sometimes kid" She said. You supposed she was right. She was far from the first person to tell you that.

Still you looked out at the direction that Ezra ran to. You were parked by a mountain with some caves on Lothal, decently far from any major cities and very much in the middle of nowhere so he had to come back sooner or later... right?

Later came and he still wasn't back. It was getting closer to sunset and you were getting worried.

"He'll be back before sundown, don't worry so much" Kanan told you as you paced the hull of the Ghost. He still wasn't back. He must have been really mad at you.

You grumbled, "I didn't mean to upset him so much, really I— I just—"

"Hey" Kanan said, lightly shaking your shoulder, "He'll come back and you'll tell him just that." he said.

Do you really think he'll come back?" You asked.

"It's not like he'd spend the night in a cave" Kanan said. Well nighttime rolled in and Ezra still wasn't back.

"That's it. I'm going to find him" You said, grabbing a flashlight and walking out.

"Aren't you going to stop them?" Zeb asked but Kanan just shrugged.

"They're big kids, they'll figure this out themselves" He said, "Besides when was the last time it was this quiet on here?" He asked, kicking back and laying his feet on the holotable.

Chopper beeped sassily.

"Yeah well no one asked for your opinions chop" Kanan retorted.

You started by going in the direction you saw Ezra run in hours ago but it's been so long he could practically be anywhere.

"Ezra!" You called out.

"Ezra! It's me! Can you please come back?" You yelled out into the mountains and heard it echoing back.

"Great" You grumbled. You kept walking, the flashlight and the stars being the only ones lighting your way.

You eventually found Ezra, sitting in the entrance of a shallow cave carved into one of the mountains.

"Ezra?" You asked and he scooted away from you.

"What do you want?" He asked and you stopped. Every step closer to him you took he kept scooting away on the floor of the cave.

"It's dark..." You said, trailing off.

"Yeah, and what do you care?" He asked.

"Well you weren't back and everyone was worried" You answered.

"So where's everyone else?" He asked.

"Well..."

"Just leave me alone." He said.

"Look, I get it, your mad at me and maybe a crossed a line but can you please just come back to the Ghost? It's dangerous out here" You tried to tell him.

"I'm fine. I made it out here all on my own before and I can do it again" Ezra said.

"Yeah but you don't have to. Come on Ezra, let's just go home and—"

"The Ghost is not my home!" He yelled and it echoed through the cave.

"Ezra"

"I get it, you don't like me, you don't have to pretend. Just go away and leave me alone" Ezra said, turning his back to you.

"You know what? Fine! Die alone in a cave for all I care, I'm going back to the Ghost! You do whatever you want" You said and stormed off.

When you came back to the Ghost alone Kanan looked a bit worried.

"You didn't find him?" He asked.

"Oh I found him but if he wants to be a jerk he can be a jerk in a cave." You said, walking past him and straight back to your room.

Hera, who had been sitting beside Kanan looked at him.

"Do you wanna take the moody teenager or the runaway kid?" She asked and Kanan sighed.

"I'll take the kid" He said and went out to find Ezra meanwhile Hera went to knock on your door.

It didn't take Kanan long to find Ezra, still holed up in the cave where you found him, throwing pebbles at the walls of the cave in frustration and grumbling to himself.

"Hey" Kanan said.

"Hey" Ezra replied and Kanan took a seat on the ground o the cave.

"You had us a bit worried back there" Kanan said.

"Yeah well I only go where I'm wanted." Ezra said.

"We want you on the Ghost. You know that" Kanan told him.

"Y/N obviously doesn't" The boy replied.

"Sit down" Kanan told him and Ezra turned around.

"What for?" He asked.

"Just do it" Kanan said and Ezra eventually did, sitting down beside the older Jedi.

"Why do you think Y/N doesn't want you around?" Kanan asked his padawan.

"Cause" Ezra replied.

"Cause what?" Kanan asked.

"Cause they're always such a jerk. I mean, I just wanted to ask if they wanted to hang out and they were—" "Being Y/N?" Kanan asked.

"Well yeah" Ezra replied.

"Listen, I'm gonna tell you something but you have to promise not to tell anyone I told you" Kanan said.

"Why?" Ezra asked.

"Cause if Y/N found out I told you they'd have my head" Kanan replied humorously before clearing his throat a bit.

"Y/N's a bit rougher around the edges than the rest of us, well except maybe Chopper" Kanan began.

"You're telling me" Ezra grumbled.

"But there's a good reason for it. They lost everything when they were really young and the Empire took over Mandalore." Kanan explained, "They survived by being tough. By not showing any weakness and the verbal sparring just came along naturally"

"So they're trying to show me they're tough?" Ezra asked.

"No, they're showing you that they think you're tough and that they care about you" Kanan explained.

"They don't talk that way to people they aren't close to or that they think are weak. And sometimes they take it too far but if anything that's because they think you can take it" He continued.

"So what? All those things are jokes to him? Cause they're not funny" Ezra told him.

"Then tell them that." Kanan told Ezra.

Meanwhile on the Ghost Hera knocked on your door.

"Y/N? May I come in?" She asked.

"Don't bother" You told her but the door still opened and Hera still came in.

"Kanan went to go get Ezra" She said.

"Good for him" You grumbled.

"Do you want to tell me what's going on?" Hera asked and you sighed.

"He hates me" You told her.

"Ezra doesn't hate you, he's upset but he doesn't hate you" Hera said. climbing up to sit beside you on your bunk.

"Yes he does. I went too far again and he hates me" You told her and she sighed.

Ezra didn't reply, he stared off into the dark sky outside the cave.

"They went looking for you when you didn't come back. They didn't mean to go too far" Kanan told Ezra, "And sometimes Y/N doesn't always know how far to take it but trust me kid, they care about you. Heck, they care about you enough to go after you and bring you back. That's not nothing"

"Yeah, I guess" Ezra relented.

"And you care about them too" Kanan said, "Otherwise this wouldn't have bothered you so much so come on, let's get back home"

"Yeah, alright" Ezra relented.

When Kanan and Ezra got back you were awkwardly sitting beside Hera on the couch in the Ghost's lounge. Ezra didn't look particularly confident either as he walked in with Kanan.

...

"Hey" You said after a decently long silence.

"Hi" Ezra Ezra replied.

Kanan and Hera looked at each other. "Alright, we'll be in the cockpit if you need anything" Hera said, dragging Kanan along with her.

"So..." You said and Ezra took a seat beside you.

"Yeah" He said.

"I'm sorry" You both said at the same time and you chuckled.

"I didn't mean to go overboard on the teasing" You said.

"And I didn't mean to be so mean in the cave" He said.

"It's fine, I kind of deserved it. Besides I didn't actually want you to die alone in a cave" You told him.

"You know we're kind of like the siblings in this weird crew" Ezra told you.

"I've never had a younger sibling sibling before" You told him.

"And I've never had an older sibling before" Ezra said.

"So, siblings?" You asked and put your hand out.

"Siblings" Ezra agreed and shook your hand.

Rebels season 4 rewatch

Famly reunion - and farewell

oh i am about to get fucked up i know it

Hera listening to Ezra talking to his parents and being proud of her boy

Pryce being absolutely disgusted by Kallus's defection is so iconic

Ezra whistling for his pet wolf to eat up Pryce lmao

ugh Ezra already has hos backup plan ready

Look at Kallus in his little imperial desguise and neat hair

Hondo is perfect please please let him be in the ahsoka show

Thrawn really called Pryce a dumb bitch lmao

Ryder's fucking Yularen accent I'm screaming

Thrawn really thinks he's doing something by waxing poetic to a teenager

Hera can't lose Ezra too oh my god she'll do anything to protect him

Sabine letting Ezra go!!

The old temple guard mask in Thrawn's office... that Kanan also wore when he was blinded... interesting

It's clever of Palps to know Ezra is too young to know what he used to look like

Mart confirming Ezra's vision--ezra is such a brave boy!

Love how Kallus is still strictly on last name basis with the gang

Again Rebels incoperation of Palps just blows the rise of skywalker out of the water lmaooo

for real though how did they move the temple

Mira calling Ezra the way Beru does to Luke messes me up

Zeb is truly an agent of chaos--so much so that it even makes Gregor shook

Ezra breaks my fucking heart he is so strong and so loving what a hero

the hologram of palps flashing from Sheev to the emperor ugh inspired iconic

the way the specres aren't afraid to talk mad shit to thrawn lmao

Hondo is such a softie i live for him

Gregor getting to fight for a cause he chose!! shut up!

Pellaeon!! Purrgil!! Oh baby!!

literally cannot stop grinning

Lothal looks like the emerald city lmao

'the emperor's rein of terror came to an end' oh bitch oh bITCH

the homoerotic act of bringing your former enemy and now bestie to your new homeworld

Jacen fuck the haters I love your hair and I like to imagine he, poe dameron and ben solo were all besties who argued which parent was the best pilot

oh you btiches i cannot wait to see you in he Ahsoka show

this is the best star wars media and you cannot convince me otherwise

[copalcetic]

Hear me out: “Double Agent Droid” should have been a musical. We're already halfway--okay, ten percent of the way--there: Chopper and AP-5 do their "Annie Get Your Gun" routine, and of course AP-5 ends with a soulful solo.

I rolled my eyes when AP-5 and the ISB agent both monologued their actions. Even in Star Wars, never the most mimetic of fiction, people don't generally engage in loud, continuous verbal monologue about how they're going to break into a secret base and steal codes while breaking into a secret base and stealing codes.

But do you know where people do do that? Musicals!

So give AP-5 and the ISB agent a duet, cross-cutting between their respective hacking. Give Hera an angry aria about people messing with her droid (Ezra and his "Uh-oh, Hera's mad" can be back-up singer.) I would say "let Chopper finally speak," except giving Chopper human-comprehensible dialogue would instantly void the series's TV-Y7 rating. (You know the famous scene in The Wire where McNulty and Bunk analyze a crime scene while solely using the word "fuck" in different volumes and intonations? Yeah.) So, okay, Chopper can have a tense electronica track.

I don't have any idea what Zeb should sing because I don't have any idea why Zeb is in this episode, but I'm sure someone can come up with something. Wedge can continue his role as straight man: he doesn't sing, he's visibly bewildered about why everyone else is singing, and he's particularly pained when AP-5 walks in on him trying to piss (truly, the best moment of the episode) and bursts into song.

Sell it with enough emotion and absurdity and I'll even buy Hera blowing up the ISB ship by sending electricity through the coms system across the galaxy at the end. "Because it's fucking Star Wars, that's why" is not enough justification for me for this particular violation of the laws of physics, but "Because it's a fucking Star Wars musical"? Sure. 

And since it's an episode with absolutely no impact on the overall plot of the show, people who don't like musicals can just skip it.

Crossposting this to AO3. A less-than-quiet morning on the Ghost, set in the Vampire!Kallus AU.

~

Zeb was peacefully making himself a cup of caf when Ezra ran past him, giggling madly. The little Jedi was going so fast, the wind from his passing ruffled Zeb’s fur. 

“So much for a quiet morning,” Zeb muttered. He took a fortifying sniff of caf, and was just about to holler after Ezra when Kallus’ enraged roar echoed through the Ghost. 

“Jabba, I am going to eat you!” 

Ashla preserve us, what has that little brat done now? Groaning, Zeb turned just in time to see Kallus launch himself through the kitchen after Ezra, fangs on full display. Ordinarily, he’d leave them to it, but—

Once, Kallus had compared Ezra to a particularly frustrating sandwich. “Imagine,” he grumped to a laughing Zeb, “imagine being constantly thwarted by one of the best-smelling meals of your life. It’s a wonder I haven’t gone mad.” 

Now, Zeb couldn’t help but feel a little shiver of anxiety. Kallus hadn’t eaten in days, and if Ezra was truly such a tempting (and irritating) target… 

He set down his caf, and hurried after Jedi and agent. 

Luckily, they hadn’t gone far; Zeb was just in time to watch Kallus make an impressive leap from the top of the Ghost’s ramp to tackle Ezra into the undergrowth. They popped up a moment later, Ezra squealing and wriggling in Kallus’ headlock. Kallus hissed, and gave Ezra a little shake, like a mother tooka scolding her kit. Ezra, of course, looked utterly unrepentant. 

Kallus groaned theatrically, and started dragging Ezra back towards the Ghost (presumably so he could find Hera to give Ezra a scolding that would actually stick). Spotting Zeb at the top of the ramp, he growled, “Look! Look at what this little ingrate did to my face.” 

Zeb looked, and had to bite back a bark of laughter. Ezra had managed to shave a stripe right through Kallus’ beard–there was no way to fix it save shaving off the whole thing and trying again. Snickering, Zeb replied, “Karabast, if he’d done that to me, I’d eat him too.” 

“Hey!”

“You,” Kallus told Ezra, “don’t get a vote.” 

Ezra launched another attempt at an escape; Kallus considered him, and let go at just the right moment to send him stumbling into one of Yavin’s many mud puddles. Ignoring Ezra’s indignant sputters, he turned back to Zeb. “I smell caf.”

Grinning, Zeb beckoned him up the ramp. “I’ll make you a cup. C’mon.” 

They left Ezra to his mud puddle. In the kitchen, Zeb returned to his cooling mug, and started another. Rather than sitting down at the table, Kallus came to stand besides him at the counter. Bumping his hip against Zeb’s (Zeb did his best not to fluff up like a pleased kit), he said quietly, “I wasn’t really going to eat him, you know.”

“I know,” Zeb replied, the not-quite-truth sitting wrong on his tongue.

Kallus slanted him a knowing smile. “You followed us out to check.” As the kettle beeped, he reached over Zeb to grab the sugar. “What blend is this?”

As usual, Zeb replied, “Not sure,” and as usual, Kallus replied, “You Rebels and your disorganization.” The everyday dance of hot-water-and-caf-into-mug and more-sugar-than-Zeb-thought-necessary followed. 

It was only once Kallus had taken his first sip, lips curling up in pleasure, that Zeb said, “I’m sorry.” 

Kallus snorted. “Oh, believe me, I do very much want to take a bite out of Bridger.” He took another sip. “I wouldn’t, but—I understand your concern. I am hungry.” 

Coming from Kallus, that was tantamount to a declaration of starvation. Ears flicking back, Zeb muttered, “Oh, you are going to eat today.” 

“After this caf,” Kallus retorted. He felt his face, and amended, “After this caf, and after I shave.” 

“I’ll be holding you to that,” Zeb warned. 

“I know.” Kallus’ eyes curved up in a warm smile; Zeb felt himself fluff up despite all his best efforts. “You always do.”

Live thoughts from Ahsoka episode 6:

Huyang said the thing!! I screamed!! "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away" I don't care if it was cheesy I freakin loved it

Thinking about that joke going around about the galaxy far, far away being just our galaxy and Ezra and Thrawn just waiting around in a Denny's

Oh this is some ancient ancient stuff

This is insanely cool

Their golden ship is really cool looking

Wondering if Ezra is in prison too

Shin Hati's armor is rad

Baylon can talk about himself forever I'll gladly watch

Holy smokes there's the ship

Ahhhh shoot here we go

Old blue man

I love his voice

Wouldn't it be funny if he killed Ezra forever ago (not funny)

There go our Thrawn and Ezra are bffs in exile headcanons 😂

Rat alligator dog horse

I like when Sabine fights like a Mandalorian

I love seeing that galaxy map, after staring at one like it when writing fanfics for so long

I like the humor music with Sabine fighting with the rat dog alligator horse, feels very Star Wars

Another moment to be thankful for Kevin Kiner 🙏

I hope Ezra has a shack like Nick Jonas' character in Jumanji

WOAH rock turtle

It's silly little guy o'clock, time to join the ranks of Jar Jar Binks, Babu Frik, Ewoks, and others

It's so goofy and Star Wars, I approve

Still can't believe I'm hearing Ezra Bridger's name in live action

I wanna know how Baylon survived the Jedi Purge

Aww the baby turtle thing

THERE HE IS

THE BEARD

Is his hair blue at all? Am I misremembering his hair as blueish?

I can't believe I'm seeing Kanan Jarrus' padawan irl it's insane

Can't believe Zeb hasn't been in this season at all

Praying for more Kanan references

WHY are they calling them star whales instead of purrgils??

I already know some people are gonna be mad that this episode of the Ahsoka show barely had Ahsoka in it

[thevibraniumveterans]

REBELS REWATCH

S1E4 — FIGHTER FLIGHT

The episode starts with Ezra trying to use the Force to lift a bowl. Similar to how within the first few episodes of Ahsoka, Sabine tries but in vain to lift a cup off the table. Chopper is making fun of Ezra, so naturally, he chases the droid down the hallway of the Ghost.

On his way down the hallway, he passes Sabine’s room. She is redecorating her room with her paint gun. Ezra backtracks to Sabine’s doorway, leans slightly against said doorway, and tries his luck again. Here goes Flirtation Attempt #2. “Oh, uhhh… Hey, Sabine!” He chuckles. “I see you’re, uh. Painting…stuff.” (Interestingly enough, Ezra doesn’t try nearly as hard as he did earlier. He’s trying the honest route instead of the ‘I’m-trying-to-impress-you’ route.) Sabine doesn’t quite take her eye off her artwork, which she seems quite pleased with. She tells him, “Well, nothing gets past you, kid.” Shyly, and not quite looking at her, he offers, “You know, if you ever need a little inspiration…” (Which we know he would eventually be her biggest inspiration a decade and a half down the line!) Sabine lets out a small, unamused laugh, and says, “Yeah. Then I’ll be sure to look elsewhere.” Clearly busy, she still does not look away from her artwork. Meanwhile, Chopper rolls back up the hallway, letting out what seems like a sarcastic “Oh, no.” Ezra looks back and forth between Sabine’s room and his room, and warns Chopper to “Stay out of my room!” He looks back to Sabine and says, “Uhh, gotta go!” He turns away, and Sabine rolls her eyes. Just another day, another chance for him to shoot his shot.

Inside Ezra’s shared room with Zeb, Zeb is taking a nap, not quite successfully. Ezra dodges Chopper’s energy zap with lightning speed. Zeb is mad, and Ezra blames it on Chopper, of course. To avoid another punch from Zeb, Ezra offers a reminder why he should not be punched. “All I did was save your life from an Imperial agent. Or did that slip your mind?” They start tussling, AGAIN.

Chopper alerts Sabine, who - amused at Zeb and Ezra’s antics - decides to redecorate their bunk instead. (Interesting that she wants to, and then does, paint the room that Ezra shares with Zeb, Sure, she could have chosen literally anywhere else on the ship, but she doesn’t.)

Ezra races down to the Ghost’s cargo hold, pursued by Zeb, who pounces off the balcony and straight into a few crates Kanan is busy with. Hera is none too pleased, and sends Zeb and Ezra on a shopping trip.

Ezra and Zeb walk into town, and the teenager is recognized by a senior citizen, who offers him a fruit, but not the meilooruns Hera sent them to get. They bump into a full crate, but Ezra considers it a challenge to attempt to take it from the Empire. They see troopers load it onto a transport cart, and Zeb lightly mocks Ezra about using the Force. Ezra takes this as a suggestion, not an insult. He concentrates, and manages to just about shift the lid of the crate when a trooper comes by. Ezra sneaks off, as he always does, and climbs up the transport to the crate.

Ezra makes a run for it as the troopers chase him, and Zeb steals a TIE fighter and comes to his rescue.

Hera takes a break, and checks up on Sabine, who denies entry. Hera points out that the room isn’t Sabine’s room, but she says, “I was inspired. It was Ezra’s idea.” Hera shrugs it off.

Inside the TIE, Ezra tells Zeb to gain altitude, and says “I think we’re too low.” Despite the window being dirty, Ezra senses that they might be about to crash, so instructs Zeb to turn the TIE. Zeb is astounded, but Ezra says he’s not sure. “I just knew,” he admits. (Here, Ezra is shown to have connected to the Force and let it tell him things nobody else would have known. Such as how to avoid obstacles without needing to see them.)

He and Zeb call up Hera and Kanan, and inadvertently admit they’re in a TIE. Kanan orders them to “get rid of it”, but in unison, Ezra and Zeb complain: “Do we HAVE to?!” (It would be fun to have another fighter though. Kind of a little foreshadowing to when later on, another TIE fighter is stolen and painted, but we’ll eventually get to that episode.) They receive instructions to a landing point.

Ezra sees smoke in the distance, and instead of helping Zeb get to the agreed rendezvous point, they make a detour to help a neighbor in need. “Friends of my parents,” he says.

Ezra drops onto a transport, and frees his parents’ friends with the Force.

Ezra thanks Zeb for saving him. Zeb points to a helmet inside the TIE, and asks, “You collect these, right?” Ezra says, “Already have that one. But, this is a nice one. Besides, maybe I can get Sabine to paint it for me. So, thanks.” (Again, foreshadowing to when Sabine actually paints a helmet for him a year or two later…)

Ezra and Zeb are in good spirits, having more or less made peace with each other. Turns out Hera’s trip for them was for them to learn to get along.

They make their way up the Ghost and down its hallway, and arrive at their shared room. The door opens, and Sabine, of all people, is inside, having just finished redecorating. Curious, Ezra asks, “Uh, finished with what, Sabine?” She says, “Thought it was a moment that needed to be immortalized.” Ezra looks confused as he stares up at Sabine’s handiwork, but she says, “and you did say you wanted to be my inspiration.” Ezra responds, “Yeah, but that makes me look like a fool.” Zeb agrees that the same sentiment also applies to him. Sabine shrugs. “I paint what I see,” she says.

Apparently not over their pseudo-feud with Chopper, Ezra and Zeb chase after the droid. Sabine steps out and watches after them, amused.

That episode of Ahsoka was my favorite so far. (I know there is only 3 eps out 😂)

I love the training sequences with Sabine, Huyang, and Ahsoka. It felt very samurai like and I loved it. It reminds me of Trials of the Darksaber so much.

My personal theory is Sabine won't ever be able to weild the Force (ie lifting things) but she can learn the Jedi ways. If she does actually weild the Force I would think it appear in relation to Ezra (like how Ezra force pushes Kallus away from Zeb).

You can tell Sabine is rusty in her fighting techniques on the ship which I appreciate. She's been on Lothal for years so she hasn't used that skill in a while. I also loved that we are seeing her and Ahsoka mend their relationship (I NEED THE BACKSTORY DAVE).

Huyang never change I love you. Sabine fixing the ship brought back so many Rebels memories.

PURRGIL. I love them so much 😭 Sabine was so surprised to see them but her flying thru them was *chef's kiss*. I imagine she has spent the last decade so mad at them for taking Ezra but now she os happy because that means they can possibly take her to him. She has hope ❤️

Love the beef between Shin and Morgan. Love the dynamic bw Shin and Marrok.

HERA SYNDULLA. Tear those senators to shreads girl. MEW did a fantastic job. The fact that she kept working to search for Ezra despite what the NR wanted 😭

JACEN SYNDULLA. I am in love with the adorable little green bean. Him and Chopper causing caos is perfection. 'Aunt Sabine' my heart 😭😭 'I want to be a Jedi' 😭😭😭 His shoulder pauldron that looks exactly like Kanan’s 😭😭😭 I hope we get more Jacen in future episodes. I want more Jacen and Chopper. I need Ezra to train him.

My only complaints: no Kanan mention when there were 2 perfect opportunities for it and I wish it was a longer episode.

Headcanon time: "how they sleep" edition!

-Kanan usually has a set of pajamas, but in his worse nights, he can be found curled up with his old Jedi robes(no, they don't fit him anymore, he uses them more like a blanket). After Jacen is born, the robe disappears, and is usually recovered from Jacen's crib the next morning.

-Hera sleeps naked. Idk why I just think she does. I don't think she sees the point of wearing clothes to sleep. The one exception is during her menstrual cycle (y'all know what I mean)

-For about two years after they got them, both Sabine and Ezra slept with all their clothes on, only changing into a new outfit the next day. Kanan said it had something to do with living on the streets and reminded Hera that he was the same way at first. Later they both get a set of Pj's that they hate.

-Zeb sleeps in his underwear, but usually only if he's not sharing the room. He has a designated shirt for if he is. He doesn't put his dirty clothes in the hamper right away, because when you're a soldier, sometimes you have to get dressed quickly.

-Kallus also sleeps in his underwear, but it's because he's used to the Empire; being "on call" all the time means that sometimes you have to be able to get dressed in a hurry, and maybe not even in a clean uniform. Kallus usually folds his dirty clothes and puts them at the foot of the bed, just in case(it drives Zeb crazy when they get together, but seeing as they're both soldiers, he can't be mad about it).

-Kanan is a seriously heavy sleeper. Like the "are we sure he's still alive" kind of heavy sleeper. He doesn't snore.

-Hera is a light sleeper, but only when she's alone. She sleeps more deeply when she's with others. She does snore.

-Ezra is a light sleeper, and sleeps more restlessly when he's near others, unless he trusts them. It takes him a solid two years to get a good night's sleep when he joins the Spectres. He snores only when he's sick.

-Sabine is insomniac and cannot sleep without drugs. She's got a bottle of melatonin in her room. Coincidentally, her room has the best soundproofing on the ship, so if she's having a bad night, she'll usually just draw until morning. She doesn't snore.

-Zeb is a heavy sleeper, but doesn't fall asleep easily. Once he's out, he's out, but it usually takes him a while to get there. He usually goes to bed early for this exact reason. He doesn't snore, but he does purr in his sleep sometimes.

-Kallus is a light sleeper, but can get to sleep really quickly, regardless of circumstance. He's actually freaked Zeb out with this ability several times, because he'll wake up/hear a noise, check it out, and then immediately conk out again. He's also prone to be somnambulism (sleepwalking), but usually only in unfamiliar places(his first night on base he sleepwalked into the jungle and woke up next to a random tree two hours later. Nobody knows how he got out that far). He doesn't snore, but he mutters in his sleep a lot.

#3, 8, 11, 14, and 16 for the Rebelsvengers Au!

*maul voice* what fun!

3. Did anything inspire this au?

Yes! Exactly two lines of dialogue, to be precise! Which lines? I'll tell you!

"Just like Krownest, all over again!" "You and I remember Krownest very differently!"

And thus, this AU was born.

8. What platonic relationships are important in this au?

Ok, so. Obviously, the Space Parents & Space Kids (er... Super Parents and Super Kids?) are a big one! But besides that, I think the platonic relationship with the most overall effect on the events and plot of this AU (not including friendships with romantic undertones) would have to be Rex and Ahsoka. Even after she's corrupted, he never loses faith in her, which is a major motivator in her redemption/recovery, and her return to heroics leads to her joining the Rebelvengers with hilarious results.

Another one is between the kids and Zeb. Ezra is an outcast in both of his worlds(humans and Jotuns); Zeb's transformation also makes him shunned from a normal life. Sabine was turned into a killer at the Academy; Zeb was turned into a raging purple giant by science. They've all been called "monsters." Their similarities help them bond and heal. (Also, Sabine and Ezra recruit Zeb for their ballet troupe.)

11. Is there any relationship that's different in this au than in the source material?

boyohboy, YES! There's several. The biggest one I can think of is Ahsoka & the Spectres. Due to slow Asgardian aging, she's still about the human equivalent of 16 when she's captured, corrupted, and sent to Earth with an evil magic stick, instead of being the 30-something Fulcrum agent she was in Rebels, so you can imagine her relationship with them is a little rockier than in Star Wars canon. But, since she's basically a child under mind control, not just an adult being influenced by the Scepter like Loki, the Spectres are able to forgive her and eventually accept her into their group, once she's been cured of her madness.

Other than that big once, Kallus (who is a good guy from the start) being Ezra & Sabine's "uncool uncle figure" comes to mind, and TBB being Hera's big brothers, too!

14. Write a little snippet set in this verse, but with a character you haven't used so far. (Or if you've used everyone, one you haven't utilized much.)

Ooh... oh, here's an idea!

"Tech?" Hera asked, noticing the furrow between his brows. "Is something wrong?" "It's likely nothing," he ventured. Hera shook her head. "It's something. What is it?" "Well..." Tech said, slowly. "I've been hearing... rumors... regarding the Tipoca School for Boys." "So have I. Rumor has it that it's a front for an evil mad science organization experimenting in cloning, right?" Hera said. "But... come on, that's impossible! It's just some conspiracy theory." "Maybe." Tech held out his tablet to her, showing the data displayed. "Maybe not."

16. Are there any ocs in this fic?

Okay, I was gonna say no, but then I remembered I don't have a Darcy Lewis character yet, so I may steal one of my Slightly Unhinged OCs from another AU and have that be her!

also. wait. hold up. if ezra is the hawkeye character, then gremlinchild rune could be kate bishop. i think i may be onto something here.

My very biased review of the Ahsoka finale

This might thread down the unpopular opinions road. It's all right. That's what opinions are for.

Let me start by saying that I didn't like most of the finale. I had a grand total of 2 scenes I enjoyed: Ezra reuniting with Hera, and the very end scene with Hayden (shocker, I know).

I didn't like most of the show in general, mainly because of the whole clusterfuck with Sabine being trained as a Jedi. I hate it deeply because it undermines Sabine's worth. She was already a great character. She didn't need to be made better or more powerful by becoming Ahsoka's apprentice. She didn't need to suddenly develop Force-sensitivity. The cool thing with Sabine was that she was NORMAL. Yes, she was a Mandalorian and skilled with blasters and explosives, but she was a regular person. She was a non-superpowered human in a galaxy where heroes were known as having superpowers. That's what made her so interesting in Rebels. And this whole season she was at her best when she switched back to what she knew: guns and bombs. Her best scene in the finale (imo) was when she crashed the ship and took 2 TIEs with it. That's who Sabine is.

I'm also mad at how little information we had on Baylann and Shin. They were depicted as the main villains in the beginning, but we never got their back story. By the last two episodes they're discarded to make room for Thrawn, which I understand, but we still don't even know who they are. What's their story? Where did Baylann come from? How does he know Anakin? How did Shin come to be his apprentice? And the worst part is we won't ever get clear answers because Baylann as he was in this season cannot be in the next due to what happened to Ray Stevenson. So this is just a loose thread. And the way it ended doesn't give me hope for Shin either.

Midway through the show it feels like Filoni had a shift and stopped caring about this being the Ahsoka show and just making it a setup for his Thrawn movie. And I hate it. I hate when film and showrunners make what should be a stand-alone (in a previously established universe) into a prequel. It's the crap Marvel did and now Star Wars is trying really hard to copy that. (Yeah I know, it's Disney. Pisses me off all the same.) This show was called "Ahsoka" for fuck sake! And by the end, it was the Thrawn show. We had an entire episode (1x06 Far, Far Away) without Ahsoka in it, except for like one scene in the beginning. Can you imagine a Kenobi episode without Obi-Wan? An Andor episode without Cassian? It makes no sense! It's the same kind of bullshit they pulled with BoBF when it became The Mandalorian s2.5 halfway through. Yes, it progresses the overall story, but in a way to set up something else instead of focusing on your main character.

In the same vein, I hate how Jacen was set up in the beginning, then discarded, how we never even saw Zeb and Agent Kallus, how Hera just became the way to tie Ahsoka back to the New Republic, how Senator Xiono could have been a good antagonist but ended up being an asshole without substance... There were too many things set up for a show this short and most of them ended up fizzling into nothing.

Now, I did like the Anakin parts. Yes, that's because I'm a Hayden stan through and through. Put him anywhere in the GFFA and I'm a goner. The World Between Worlds scenes were absolutely phenomenal, and probably why I'll rewatch this show again. Sorely because of Hayden (although Ariana was incredible too in the TCW scene). His Anakin brought this whole show to another level. No shade to Rosario, I love her. But this show didn't do her justice. Especially not next to Hayden when they had them sparring. The rest of the show I was disappointed in all of her fight scenes because how can I believe the girl who trained under Anakin Skywalker is so slow? They, probably without realizing it, built her up to fail. And it bothers me because we know from the animated series that Ahsoka is amazing in a fight.

I also appreciated the zombie troopers. The rest of the Dathomir storyline is a bit muddy and I'm not sure I love it, but I guess I just have to wait to see how they try to make this fit post-Jedi Fallen Order/Survivor.

I don't even know where I'm going with this by now. I just... I wish this show had been different. The ending is kinda making me cautiously excited for Thrawn. (But only if they bring in the Chiss Ascendancy and Eli. I need my Thranto fix in live action, thank you very much.) There's also all the little easter eggs of Mortis that make me wonder if they didn't pull a Lost and they're all just dead (which I would respect a lot more than whatever else they seem to be building on).

In the end, I am deeply disappointed in what the show ended up being. Apart from a few moments, most of it was "meh" at best for me and I mourn what could be if Filoni stopped trying to make all his female OC the biggest badass that ever was and one-up one another.

AHSOKA EP 1 - 2 THOUGHTS. (Hysteria, Even)

THIS WHOLE POST IS SPOILERS, READ AT YOUR OWN RISK YOU KNOW THE DEAL

First, out of context:

THE HOLE IN THE FLOOR THING HELL YEAH!!!! That's all

The way I am acting every time Hera is on screen... you should jail me you should put me in jail take me away officer I love her I love her I'm unwell about her

The way that every single queer person alive went "oh thank god" when hologram Ezra was like "You're like a sister to me" thank you I'm so glad we got that out of the way. Rebels!Sabine did not serve dyke for 4 seasons straight so that Ahsoka!Sabine could be a heterosexual

RYDER AZADI MY MAN!!!!! This show is for rebels fans and rebels fans only. No one else will have any idea who the fuck these people are and why I, personally, would know that voice anywhere.

Ahsoka like "Sabine was stubborn and did not listen" Ahsoka you have NEVER listened a day in your life

Lothal is the most realistic fucking star wars planet we have. This one fucking freeway right in the middle of it is the most iconic shit on this planet besides Ezra's tower and those weird smooth hill mountains. The I-10 is ubiquitous

Okay so my partner said and I won't verify this independently so take it at face value that the only other time we've heard rock music in SW is from Zeb so I fully believe Sabine's music taste is a reflection of his!!!!! and I for one love that!!!!!

That old cat is soooo cutteeeeeee omgggggg I was mad when Ahsoka did not feed him (he was waiting outside all polite like BITCH get this FREAK out of my HOUSE re: the assassin droid)

SABINE'S OPENING STANCE BEING THE ONE THAT KANAN TAUGHT HER IN "TRIALS OF THE DARK SABER" OH MY HEART

Interesting that the Darksider apprentice with the bad bob, Shin, has a padawan braid of sorts? Neato. Don't think that the Sith usually uh... do that?

MOTHERFUCKING DR. TAUB????

When that protocol droid was deadass like "Oh I saw an HK a few days ago she was a bitch" I started snapping these gay little bots deliver every time

Chopper totally chill with just wiping out an entire port city is absolutely in character and I'm so glad they've done this murderous little freak justice he did nothing but bitch and flex his little robo arms the whole time and I love that for him NEVER change Chopper NEVER change. Hera's "no I did not touch your stuff" LMFAO

The way that Sabine's hair cutting scene so perfectly mirrored Kanan's... he was with her in that moment I just love that

The way that her family is standing behind her as she takes this next step forward in her journey and life and the way that the shot is framed it almost looks like Kanan is resting his hand on her shoulder don't LOOK AT ME I'm SOBBING WAILING SCREAMING

Someone on Reddit said that "hologram Ezra sounds like the 'Buffalo wild wings has deals on deals on deals' guy from the Buffalo Wild Wings commercials last fall, which is a good thing" and I think they're right and their wisdom deserves to be shared

Overall I'm delighted, pleased, and even deranged about this - I have very high hopes for the rest of the season.
