I think it goes back to what the Nicks said.  Sabine lost everything in the Night of Thousand Tears and now that Ezra is the only family she has left, she isn't willing to sacrifice him.  I hope they expand on her loss a bit more than what they did in later episodes, because I felt it was a little glossed over.

I totally agree.  The writers have not done a great job of portraying this attachment to Ezra.  A casual fan would have a hard time picking this up, and even a hardcore fan like myself having watched every episode of Rebels multiple times didn't carry forward enough of a feeling of attachment between Ezra and Sabine.  Ezra seemed to have more of an attachment than Sabine did.

Maybe they needed some flashbacks or some other storytelling trick to tie this all together better.  There was a lot more time spent on the Sabine/Ahsoka dynamic and very little on the Sabine/Ezra dynamic.

1000% YES. The sudden proliferation of Sabezra shippers online points to a fundamental lack of understanding of that relationship. She was never particularly attached to him on the show, no more than Zeb so why would she suddenly be in love with him now?

I do think it has more to do with having lost her own brother like you guys were saying, but I also think they could have done a much better job establishing that through flashbacks or some kind of incidental narrative. It’s probably a lot less confusing if you never watched Rebels at least in that regard.

Already got my payment confirmation email! That was fast!

The problem is that literally millions of people’s lives will be lost once they fetch Thrawn. The whole point of Ezra’s sacrifice in the first place was to get rid of Thrawn. Handing his allies the means to rescue him negates everything Ezra set out to do. Oh and also Ahsoka too. When you look at it from that perspective it seems like one of the most insanely idiotic decisions ever. I say that as a longtime Sabine stanner too, she was never one to put her own feelings before the mission.

They could have easily written their way around that by just having her show up late, or have him snatch it away using the Force or something. The way they did it just makes her seem weak and stupid though. IMHO

If it gets to 20000 they should throw in Sabine and Chopper, or a cool flight stand.

I’m sorry, but Sabine is a ******* moron. 

YOU HAD ONE JOB! Prevent another all out Galactic War by shooting a stupid map. Millions of lives hanging in the balance. But no, do the stupid selfish thing. And right after seeing what went down with Ahsoka, who literally just lectured her about this exact thing ten minutes earlier. She essentially murdered those two X-Wing pilots too.

I guess that will be the highlight of the Ghost on this show too…hey, it almost got blown up! Go buy our HasLab! 

Always nice to see Carson “Oppa” Teva though. I guess this was after his offworld meeting with Din?

Weird that the last 4 episodes are pretty much all gonna be The World Between Worlds and Peridia. Because I can’t think of a single reason why they would waste any more screen time on Hera and whatever is going on in that galaxy. There’s literally nothing she can do to help at this point, so thanks for showing up, I guess?

Gotta say, this feels nothing like Rebels to me. Which is strange considering how much Filoni is involved.

I think they will hit Kanan but Zeb seems like a long shot without some overseas/retail partner shenanigans.

I’d like to think if that happens we will still get him along with Chopper and Sabine on those cards at some point.

Nice work, guys. I still haven’t given up hope on The Twilight! 

Knew this was going to be a short episode so was not disappointed about that, but it did end on kind of a quiet note.

The Purgil were cool I thought, interesting that they showed up like that. I liked the little snub fighters too.

Kaz’ dad is a huge jackass, super bummed to learn he was not on Hosnian Prime when it was destroyed.

I like the growing animosity between Shin and Morgan.

Still not sure what to make of Ahsoka training Sabine. Why isn’t she training Jacen? Why does Jacen look weird? 

Why didn’t Hera just take the Ghost to help them after the Republic declined? I feel like animated Hera would have been all over that, but clearly this is not the Hera that we knew from Rebels.

Wonder how much longer they will wait to reveal Thrawn?
