Star Wars Rebels Season Four (spoilers)

Anyone else find it odd that Rebels Recon interviewed just about everyone EXCEPT Freddie Prinze Jr? Shouldn't he get a chance to talk about his character dying? Maybe he was too upset to talk about it?

Looking at him in the footage from the voice recording that's probably quite possible.

I haven't watched many of these, but I didn't know they had the Galaxy Quest models on display in their studio! Look at 7:41 at the left edge, it's Sarris' ship. And if this pic is taken in the same place, the Protector is hanging behind it.
 
Exciting, super spoilers for Rebels fans this morning that I must share with you about tonight's episode. I guess I will tag this, so click at your spoiler-iffic peril:
Found on reddit: Leaked image of "A World Between Worlds" by iTunes

This particular angle of Ahsoka vs Vader was not seen in Twilight of the Apprentice, so we are likely seeing this via flashback(?)
Here's a story line I could certainly enjoy a bit more closure on. Everything's just fine now. I'm ready for a Star War.

It would be nice to get more story on the Inquisitors and their ability to track down the Jedi. On multiple occasions they tracked down Kanan and Ezra leaving one to wonder how the Jedi were tracked down and by whom? Did anyone ask why all the Inquisitors and then Vader ended up on Malachor? Wonder if this ability is related to Snoke's tech somehow...

Last week, Kanan told Ezra he was good at listening and that it would serve him well in the future. What could that mean?? Ezra has always felt a strong connection to animals and this all seems to be foreshadowing an endgame. I feel these spirit wolves are a way for the Jedi spirits as part of the Cosmic Force (ghosts) to commune with the living. Not a ghost per se but - something part tangible a la Bendu.

During season 2, I wondered if it was because Chopper had been compromised by that mini probe droid in "Always Two There Are"

Wow ... just .... wow

Gonna need some time to process. For a ‘kids show’, that was something special.

No spoilers for now. Just watch. Take it in
 
For whatever reason, so far it looks like Disney XD in Canada, or at least in Ontario, is airing the new episodes one week behind. "Jedi Night" and "DUME" aired tonight at 9PM and 9:30PM respectively.
 
^ Here, at least for me in SC, it was two new episodes with next week being the series finale
 
Well, so Star Wars has finally tackled the one ubiquitous sci-fi trope that it's surprisingly managed to avoid until now:
Time travel. We've seen Force visions of the future before, but as far as I know, this is the first time that an SW production has depicted travel to/interaction with the past. Although I'm not convinced that Ezra was right about being able to alter the past. Since he (and we, as far as I recall) didn't see Ahsoka's fate, it stands to reason that what happened to her here was what happened all along: Ezra reached back from the future and saved her.

And hey, Ahsoka's still alive, yay!

If I'm not mistaken, the scientist studying the temple was played by Malcolm McDowell, which adds one more to the list of crossover actors between Star Trek and Star Wars.

The great debates are starting to circulate. Others are arguing that
it's not time travel but rather time dilation. The events of the episode A World Between Worlds are linear. Ahsoka travels into the arcane Force realm and that's why she can't come back with Ezra. She must go "back" to her time, and he to his.

Was it destiny, like Christopher describes: Ezra reached back in time and saved her all along? She doesn't really "go ahead" to Ezra's time either, she returns to the time after Twilight of the Apprentice and goes down into the doorway. There's one more Rebels Recon to come. You know this time travel debate is gonna be the final fan question for Pablo. I expect his answer to line up with these arguments.

On Rebels Recon last night they did say that this story was planned all along this way by Dave.

Tonight's episodes were top tier. So much to process as a CW/Rebels fan tonight...

OK...so that all happened...

I think that last episode may hold the record for the most cameos/references to other Star Wars movies/episodes in the history of the franchise.
I even heard Maz & Jyn in there! There were probably others from the new movies that I just didn't catch.

As for the "time travel": technically that's not what's going on. It's already been established that the Cosmic Force transcends time and space; hence force visions showing both past and (possible) future events.

You can also hear Vader, Obi-Wan (all of them except Ewan), Leia, Rey, and Qui-Gon. Wookieepedia lists more, http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/A_World_Between_Worlds#Uncredited

That would only work from Ahsoka's perspective. Since Ezra was an observer present at the original event and then returning to the same moment later in his personal timeline, it definitely does qualify as a closed timelike curve, i.e. time travel into the past, in his frame of reference. The fact that time travel is self-consistent and incapable of "changing" events does not mean it isn't time travel; on the contrary, self-consistent, immutable time travel is the default, the most basic and straightforward kind -- and the only one potentially allowed by real physics, unless parallel timelines are involved. There's no shortage of fiction that uses the immutable time travel model -- the movies The Final Countdown and 12 Monkeys, Gargoyles, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (although the stage play uses a mutable-time model instead), the Bill and Ted movies (the "let's remember to go back in time later and plant the thing we need now" trick depends on it), and a wealth of prose fiction like "--All You Zombies--", There Will Be Time, The Time Traveler's Wife, etc. So it doesn't make any sense for those people to argue that interaction with the past somehow doesn't count as "time travel" just because it doesn't change anything.

Really looking forward to seeing how it all raps up next week. Is it going to be a 3 hour finale?
 
Just finished the episodes. My reaction: Well, that happened.

We know that Lucas handed all of his material over to Disney with the sale. I wonder if George's initial plan for
Luke, which if I recall correctly (I can't find a link at the moment), went on a very strange, mystical trip in Lucas' original plan for Episodes X, XI, and XII, is similar to what we see here. The idea of the "world between worlds" opens up a lot of story potential.
