Kanan makes an immense sacrifice when the Rebels mission to rescue Hera leaves them cornered by Governor Pryce on Lothal.
“Jedi Night” may be one of the most memorable episode of Star Wars: Rebels. Although Star Wars fans knew that season four would be the final season of Rebels, many were not prepared for the consequences that might entail. What starts off as a rather lighthearted rescue story where Kanan, Ezra, and Sabine set out to rescue Hera ends in tragedy. The crew loses a major part of their family. We’re breaking all this down on this episode, including our initial reactions and how this story fits into the grander Star Wars saga.
In this fully armed and operational episode, we discuss:
- Kanan’s death and how it was unexpected when the episode aired,
- Hera’s torture at the hands of Governor Pryce,
- Kanan’s decision to have Ezra plan the rescue mission,
- Grand Moff Tarkin summoning Thrawn to Coruscant to defend the TIE Defender project,
- Kanan’s eyes regaining their natural color before he died, and
- Many of our thoughts on this very memorable episode of Rebels.
