If you're listening to this broadcast, you're a part to the resistance broadcast. I'm John. That's James. Thank you for joining us on this Monday. We are two days away from the debut of the

Asoka series, and it is an important one for many reasons. One being Dave Filoni's first time

as a showrunner. He is in charge of a Star Wars live action show.

And that's a big deal, especially with what these characters mean to him.

And of course, what it means to fans, especially people who know rebels like rebels and people who really love rebels.

Now, Rebels is my favorite Star Wars animated series, but James, it is one of your favorite pieces of Star Wars, period.

So it's a big deal.

It's a big deal in a lot of ways.

Yes.

Yeah.

If this is your first time hearing this from me, I think that Rebels as a collective of four seasons, that story is the best Star Wars story ever told,

and that includes the movies.

It just hit exactly as it should.

Sometimes you watch episodes and you go,

and this feels a little kitty.

But man, when you finish it all and you think back to the show,

you don't think about those

random episodes or whatever.

It has this big, connected, important story out of all those characters.

It does.

And it has such a significance to the overall timeline, too.

And it does not feel like they just like took a little pocket and did this.
