(spoilers for all four seasons of Star Wars Rebels)
Rebels was a show that I started watching last year, and even though I enjoyed it, life got busy and it fell by the wayside. I hadn’t even realized I never finished it…until this season of The Mandalorian. Suddenly everyone was talking about The Mandalorian potentially tying into the last couple seasons of Rebels and I went ‘huh…I never finished that show! I must remedy that asap’ and thus I binge-watched the remaining two seasons in a week (and I am SO GLAD I did because I freaked out when Thrawn was name-dropped in 2x05!!) But aside from The Mandalorian tie-ins, holy crap how did I not come back to this show sooner?? It’s incredible and deserves much more recognition.
Watching this show again reminded me of my love for Kanan and Ezra, who remain my favorite characters on Rebels. I love them individually and I love them together; their master/padawan relationship has always deeply touched me (honestly they’re on the same level as Anakin & Ahsoka for me). Despite this, I hadn’t entertained the thought of editing them - until one relaxing Saturday morning when the idea suddenly hit me over the head like a freight train. For as much as I love editing and as many edits as I make, many ideas get put on lists until I have time to get around to them. Not so this idea! I had finished Rebels only a couple days before, and all those emotions towards the characters and story needed an outlet. And just like that, my relaxing weekend became an editing frenzy (aka I was in heaven). I set out to tell Kanan & Ezra’s story - all the ups & downs and hilarity and heartbreak and everything in between. What was going to be a tribute with one song turned into two turned into three, until somewhere along the way this became my longest edit to date (I regret nothing). I actually got emotional all over again editing this (because of course I was emotional watching it). This edit came together mostly over the course of last weekend, with finishing touches spilling into this week. I don’t know if I’ve ever pulled an edit this complicated together so quickly before, but I do know that it’s been a while since I’ve felt this level of joy while editing.
All that to say - this edit is very close to my heart. It’s basically my love for these characters bottled up and expressed creatively, and I’m enormously proud of the finished product and the many hours and hours of work that went into creating it. I got so much joy out of just making this that that right there is enough, but I hope it touches you guys as well and you enjoy it!
(If anyone read this entire rambling description, you’re amazing and I love you).
