Star Wars Rebels Season 3: 20 Easter Eggs & References You Need To See
8. The Student Has Become The Master
At the beginning
of Zero Hour: Part One, Ezra and Kanan have a conversation that mirrors that of
Anakin and Obi-Wan in Revenge of the Sith, before the latter leaves for Utapau.
Both masters concede that they are proud of their students and in many ways
have exceeded them; that they have taught their student everything they know.
The difference here is that Ezra still wants to learn more from his master, not necessarily about the Force, but what it means to be a good person.
This exchange put the fear of god into many people who thought that this signalled the end of Kanan’s journey on Rebels. It was teased that members of the Rebellion would not make it through to Season 4, and the fact that Ezra and Kanan do not appear in any form in the original trilogy, their fate has been a long, sensitive subject.
At least we know that
Hera and Chopper make it through past Rogue One.
