LET’S WATCH: Star Wars Rebels - S1 E1 - "Spark of Rebellion Pt. 1"
Added 2025-03-05 19:31:35 +0000 UTCHey guys!
FINALLY embarking upon the Star Wars Rebels journey, and I could not be more excited!!! I was reading some comments you guys left me saying not to take the animation to heart because it's supposedly not as good as Clone Wars.
To be honest, I don't have a problem with the animation at all. I think that Ezra is such a badass young dude! I really like the feel of the story thus far... I mean, I really don't know shit, because I've only seen 1 episode, but I have a feeling that I'm really going to enjoy this show!
I'm really stoked to get back into the Star Wars lore and start understanding the context and inner workings more! Thank you all for checking out these shows with me!
You guys are the best!
Love,
Alexhoto

Wow, I took a break from his channel to let the SW collection accumulate and holy fk has it accumulated lol. I've got a lot to watch. W watch order too. I see he had the proper Hera reaction in The Bad Batch thumbnail.

2025-11-01 12:25:54 +0000 UTCNot gonna lie, the Rebels reaction was kind of the reason I became a patreon! Not many people react to it and it is my favorite Star Wars show. Now I get to watch your takes evolve with the show and hear your silly jokes! :) I love the plotline, the characters, the found family of it all! Clone Wars is good, the later season in particular are fire, but I didn't grow up watching it so I don't have that attachment. I watched Rebels as an adult and I feel it resonated more that way. I am not sure it is fair to compare the two series, actually. They don't have the same function in the SW universe or the same format. CW is a collection of stories about characters we know and Rebels is a story about new characters. Anyway, thanks for this, your reactions are gonna be a comfort to me. Peace!

2025-03-23 15:38:12 +0000 UTCCW S7 is beautiful. I may like the CW artstyle better but I think it's super cool how they used original movie concept art for the artstyle in this show
Will
2025-03-21 00:46:52 +0000 UTCI liked Clone Wars more but they are different things. As a kid I couldn't get into Rebels but watching it now that I am older I enjoy it as a good show. When I was a kid I had certain ideas what I wanted from the Imperial/Rebel Era content from the movies and games that came out before it like SW Battlefront 2 2005 and the Rebels show didn't follow that fully so I didn't like it initially
Will
2025-03-21 00:41:28 +0000 UTCPersonally I also don't hate the animation but I do feel like it's a step back from Clone Wars. You gotta keep in mind this released after Clone Wars but the animation looks kinda like early-season CW except for the explosions. Wish it looked like season 7 CW

2025-03-15 16:34:45 +0000 UTCUnfortunately, Alex will most certainly be eating his own words here in a few seasons 😭😭💀

2025-03-12 22:17:29 +0000 UTCThus show is better than Clone Wars, but could not exist without Clone Wars. This show us basically a sequel to Clone Wars, and this is a Disney show. They mix all the murder with a good deal of episodes for children. It is a weird vibe

2025-03-10 23:08:23 +0000 UTCDamn… so much hate for kanaan
Bryan howell
2025-03-10 15:23:29 +0000 UTCFun Fact: They changed the beginning of rebels in the DisneyXD cut and added the scene with Darth Vader. In the Cartoon Network version that scene isn’t even there and it starts with Ezra looking down from the Tower

Charlie McKay
2025-03-09 22:02:09 +0000 UTCI can’t wait to see your reaction to some of these episodes, its really up there with some of the best Star Wars content, specially later into s2 and beyond
Harry Wright

2025-03-09 05:32:50 +0000 UTCI like rebels better. Connect with the characters more because you don’t know their fates the first time watching like you did the clone wars characters.
Hiren Bhavsar
2025-03-08 20:35:14 +0000 UTCHonestly I’d say it’s close. I’d say this show is consistently solid with some big highs, but with close wars it’s a little bit more hit and miss but the hits are HITS. Rebels does have some banger content in there with probably a top3 favourite animated ark for me out of all the sw animated shows
Connor Ross
2025-03-08 03:45:04 +0000 UTCHolly so pumped to see this. Just like clone wars the show starts off slow but also picks up a lot faster..
Connor Ross
2025-03-07 20:00:01 +0000 UTCIt is, most well rounded Star Wars show. A masterpiece across 4 seasons
Charlie McKay
2025-03-07 06:33:26 +0000 UTCuh no

2025-03-07 04:14:59 +0000 UTCrebels better than clone wars

BrianHobbit7
2025-03-06 22:24:43 +0000 UTCRebels for me is the best star wars story i have seen nothing comes close too it not even empire
BrianHobbit7
2025-03-06 21:57:15 +0000 UTCKanan is voiced by Freddy Prince JR (Fred from Scooby Doo). Chopper is voiced by the Director Dave Filoni and Zeb is voice by the absolute legend Steve Blum (Spike Spiegal, Wolverine, Amon and countless others!) Also, I love how they started including more graffiti and urban art in Rebels!
Josh Bruner
2025-03-06 21:17:10 +0000 UTCI remember when I first started watching rebels, I was not liking it at first and was feeling very disappointed after coming off of clone wars but goddamn, I am glad that I stuck with this series because this series has some of the best drama and just ungodly levels of cool When we get towards the end hell even the middle section and after this first beginning part are really good. The only thing that really dragged was the first few episodes and that seems to just be the norm with most series. I mean, even the clone wars dragged on this first season she-ra also had a little bit of a slow start before becoming God level hell even avatar the last Airbender had a slow first two episodes before cranking it in a high gear

2025-03-06 15:00:51 +0000 UTCThat Aladdin comment brought me back to when The Normies all those eyears ago
Cole Romero
2025-03-06 14:46:19 +0000 UTCI like how Alex says that Ezra is the Aladin of Star wars…. Blud doesn’t even know that the actor of Aladin (2019) was fancast as Ezra.
Petar Marinov
2025-03-06 09:32:29 +0000 UTCClone wars 100%
Tempo
2025-03-06 08:12:02 +0000 UTCClone wars had far too many dry spells for me. I don’t even know how many attempts it took for me to get through it. Don’t get me wrong, I loved the show the development of Asoka was done very well. It added so much to Star Wars as a whole. Now that I think about it, I don’t remember if I finished rebels or not. I want to say that I did. Rebels carried over to the *No spoilers* It’s a hard call

2025-03-06 08:01:01 +0000 UTCZeb in the original Star wars new hope...
Eric & Erika
2025-03-06 07:52:40 +0000 UTC🤣“Who the fuck are you?” Only the main character!🤣
Andrew Freeman
2025-03-06 07:30:21 +0000 UTCrebels gets alot of hate in large part due to its birth at the extent of clone wars death but rebels is arguably my favourite I love both and its really hard to pick one over the other for me
Fuzzyers
2025-03-06 06:56:40 +0000 UTCRebels takes place 5 BBY- 1BBY BBY means before a new Hope in simple terms
CC-2024
2025-03-06 06:02:42 +0000 UTCI like clone wars way more but I will admit I am very biased anakin is one of my favorite characters ever. Rebels actually looks a good bit better than I remember it from my first watch, it does have those Disney-isms which are a lil stinky BUT I get the feeling Dave Filoni (director) was really weaving as much coolness as he could under Disney’s jurisdiction. I’m gonna enjoy rewatching this with ya, I was a little brutal to this show on my first watch honestly and I think it had to do with somethin you mentioned I watched rebels right after clone wars and yea going from anakin as the protagonist to ezra yea it’s a bit of a jump in scenery lol
G Lord Robinson
2025-03-06 04:26:09 +0000 UTCYeah both are great I do feel that rebels hits that family feel much like atla does better than clone wars. Not saying that clone wars doesn’t have it but it’s so spread out you never really get to keep that feeling that these people are a family. But anyway Alex is gonna flip his shit over some of the cameos in this show😂😂😂😂
Nightmareman99
2025-03-06 04:22:46 +0000 UTCAs for the time line this is 13 years after revenge of the sith and 5 years before a new hope. Filling in that gap between the fall of the republic and a new hope, most of the show after this also focus on filling in that gap with a few set after return of the Jedi. Also Ezra is the same age as Luke and Leia And you’ve heard of Hera and her family before on ryloth he showed up quite abit in clone wars her was the leader of the ryloth rebellion.
Nightmareman99
2025-03-06 04:20:35 +0000 UTCI agree both are good in their own right

Tim Fuchs
2025-03-06 02:29:33 +0000 UTCDid chopper just greet Kanan with a “yeah, what the fuck?”
Jake Rush
2025-03-06 01:56:49 +0000 UTCFun fact: the person Vader was talking to at the beginning is voiced by Jason Isaccs who played Lucius Malfoy (Draco's dad in the Harry Potter movies)
Austin Wunderly
2025-03-06 01:06:55 +0000 UTCI think rebels and clone war are about even for me. They’re both very good but in different ways.
Austin Brandt
2025-03-06 00:15:01 +0000 UTCI literally gasped at the I hope kanan dies I’m so excited to watch Alex go through this show
Karla

Charlie Fontana
2025-03-06 00:07:24 +0000 UTCThe way I see the animation is, it’s different. I don’t find it worse or better, it’s just different. Except for oneeeee instance but I can’t say bc it will spoil stuff😂
Sheldon
2025-03-05 22:59:32 +0000 UTC“Disnyfied” well it came out in 2014 and was started after Disney bought lucasfilm, so maybe

2025-03-05 22:24:55 +0000 UTCThis show might as well have been called StarWars Terrorists lol
E-Hensley
2025-03-05 22:14:20 +0000 UTCYour audio track is slightly out of sync
E-Hensley
2025-03-05 22:06:37 +0000 UTCI've said it before and I'll say it again just for good measure: clone wars supplements the prequels, rebels supplements the originals. I so fucking pumped to watch the series that got my childhood self into Star Wars
Michael
2025-03-05 22:03:29 +0000 UTCI agree but the rest of season 1-2 is good but not as good as Clone Wars.
Tom Kat
2025-03-05 21:44:00 +0000 UTCI’ve been waiting months to type this out, and Alex I pray that you read this: rebels starts out similar to the clone wars; not nearly as good as the later stuff, more childish, directed at a younger audience, and not that important, but please power thru the first season of stuff and I swear you will get your gooch slapped by this show so hard
Michael
2025-03-05 21:41:56 +0000 UTCKanan will become one of your favorite characters in Star wars
Myles
2025-03-05 21:38:43 +0000 UTCNaaah Alex, you will totally love Kanan when you get deeper to this show.
Joovain
2025-03-05 21:34:33 +0000 UTCBruh what? Season 2 ending is peak
MrPeran
2025-03-05 21:30:44 +0000 UTCI prefer Clone Wars, because it has a higher peak and is honestly my childhood. But Rebels is great too.
IGOR PODEMSKI
2025-03-05 21:28:28 +0000 UTCI’ve never thought Rebels’ animation was bad, it’s just different, though I did prefer Clone Wars’ style. Rebels is gorgeous in its own way though.
SD
2025-03-05 21:24:02 +0000 UTCI think seasons 3 and 4 of Rebels is equal to Clone Wars. Season 1-2 of Rebels are good but not that good.
Tom Kat
2025-03-05 21:21:12 +0000 UTCOh yeeah bout to enjoy another fantastic high
Redious
2025-03-05 21:10:21 +0000 UTCFor me it kinda feels like paw patrol. Like the show has no weight. I dont mean the story but just the feeling of it. A bit washed out maybee. Hard to describe it.
Thomas Kletzl
2025-03-05 21:08:12 +0000 UTCI remember watching Rebels it was like well the first Star Wars things I ever watched and I remember how much I loved it I don't know why I stopped watching
Carmen
2025-03-05 20:56:04 +0000 UTCI love clone wars more because the highs of clone wars are higher than those of Rebels, and there’s a lot more cool action in clone wars imo
SkywalkerBoy
2025-03-05 20:44:39 +0000 UTCHey boys and girls. Hey Alex. Havent's watched it all, just answering the question Alex asked in the beggining from my personal point of view. In my opinion, Vader doesn't think about his past life. He thinks the Jedi killed the love of his life and he thinks everyone bertayed him. I think that Vader and Anakin are two different people that at times, for a few seconds, cross roads. Sry for my bad English. Keep watching, Rebels is awesome :)

2025-03-05 20:31:21 +0000 UTCLmfao can't believe you said that about Kanan. 😂
Jason M

2025-03-05 20:16:35 +0000 UTCAbout Kanan, you will eventually learn to understand his uptight ways in the early days of knowing someone new after he opens up a bit💯

2025-03-05 20:12:34 +0000 UTCYESSS I’m so excited 💪🏽

JQ
2025-03-05 20:03:00 +0000 UTCI prefer Rebels over clone wars, mainly because clone wars had so many useless arcs. Though season 7 of clone wars is probably my favourite piece of sw content
Rielly La Pointe
2025-03-05 20:00:19 +0000 UTCFuck yes! Im so goddamn excited💯 Yes there is still a bit of conflict within Darth Vader though yes it has been a short while since episode 3 so at this point he is about the same as Empire/Return Of The Jedi in terms of internal conflict💯
Kobain Hine(Kyber)
2025-03-05 19:59:14 +0000 UTCIt’s a mix of people never giving it a chance because it looks like a kids show (it mostly is, especially season 1) and people hating on the new Disney canon, also some people don’t like they stylized art which I think is fine

2025-03-05 19:57:54 +0000 UTCI've never understood the complaints about Rebels, thought it was amazing! And it's so important to the overall story...But to each his own, all good...Glad u are reviewing the series man! I think you're gonna dig it!
