WHAT’S BREAKING MY HEART MOST: THE WAY KANAN (AND EZRA!) DON’T WANT TO LEAVE HERA, THE WAY HERA CLEARLY DOESN’T WANT THAT EITHER BY HER EXPRESSION BUT KNOWS WHAT SHE HAS TO DO OR THE WAT HERA TRUSTS THEM COMPLETELY??? 😭😭😭

i’d yell at hera for interrupting kanan and ezra when they’re having A MOMENT.. but with all the uh personal time she’s lost with kanan thanks to the kids and zeb and chopper being menaces I’LL LET IT SLIDE ;P

oh hera 😦 it kills how even though hera is very firm when trying to redirect ezra’s focus back to lothal, she’s just so incredibly gentle at end end of it. this relationship hits me right in the heart

The comparisons to “Legacy” from Season 2 are really amazing here, especially with this scene and Hera.

In “Legacy” she orders Ezra away from the Rebellion so he can try to find his parents. Her last words to him in that episode are:

“I hope you find what you’re looking for.”

This feels like Hera making herself ready to let Ezra go. 

She was the one behind Ezra’s recruitment. She was the one who pushed him to finally begin living up to his parents’ words. From the beginning, Hera was the embodiment of the parents Ezra lost to the Empire, and I think she knew that. And I think with the possibility of Ezra finding his parents again in “Legacy,” Hera was prepared to lose her place in Ezra’s life to Ephraim and Mira.

In “Twin Suns,” Ezra’s departure doesn’t have Hera’s blessing this time around, and it’s about more than tactics:

“There’s too much at stake. For Lothal and for us.”

Unlike Ephraim and Mira, Maul is not someone she’s willing to lose Ezra to.
