A New Dawn - Blog Posts
I remember reading this and thinking, "hmmm he's clearly more violent here than he is in Rebels. It's a bit jarring to see. However, this is the funniest dialogue I've ever read."
"Now hear this," he yelled to the dozens of patrons crowding the big cantina. "I have had enough of today. Anyone who hassles me goes to the medcenter." "The Empire closed the medcenter!" someone yelled. "Correction: Anyone who hassles me goes to the morgue. That is all."

Hera is 18 in this?? I read that and my heart seized. I was like, "You're 18? I'm 18! You shouldn't be doing what you are doing at the age of 18!"
The first thing he actually says (other than "huh?" And "ah") is "Words fail me."
What an idiot. I love him.
I'm about 100 pages into A New Dawn and um...
Early 20s Kanan is so funny to me. Like I understand that he's bitter and jaded because of the Order 66 trauma and how his life went after, but he's all "I enjoy being a loner. That's just me. I don't get close to people-- NOT BECAUSE IM TRUAMATIZED NO, I JUST LOVE BEING A LONE WOLF... yeah."
And I'm sitting here like sir. Sir over the next few years you are going to become the family-est family man there ever was. You are going to meet a beautiful, brilliant pilot who wants to overthrow the government, and you are going to fall head over heels. You are going to meet the pilot's insane Droid, and you are going to tolerate him. You are going to find a depressed former warrior mourning the loss of his people, and you're gonna say, "same bestie. Cmon, get up. Let's go steal from the Empire!" You are going to see a couple of spunky child runaways and orphans and go "ok guess I have kids now."
Additionally, I like how it parallels Ezra's "I work alone" stuff in early season 1. Kanan really saw Ezra and said, "God, this kid is as stupid as me! Hera, make room in the Ghost, we're adopting this rat."
Thoughts about a strange star appearing in the night sky
The end of an era is never really happy or sad. We get accustomed to many of the words and feelings that accompanied the old Era that to see it go away represents us letting go of a part of us. All the memories then feel as if they are gone and will never be taken back. There's also the uncertainty that comes with something unknown that strikes fear into us as well as confusion and anger. It hits us so hard that we feel as if we though are falling hard without any help or guidance as to where to go. We lash out in anger, cry and act as if though the world is ending. Even if it's the end of an era that we may have thought was bad. No mortal being can predict the future, and even our best automatons and machinations can only give us their estimates of what comes next. Yet in the face of the winds of change there is a necessity to do one important thing. To forget who we are. To remember what we love and live for. The things that drive us to live another day. So that in the face of uncertainty we can remember what we stand for . And tomorrow will be that much brighter.
