I kept waiting to see if anybody would start this thread...

Anybody watching?

 

It's been pretty good, better than The Clone Wars, only because TCW has Episode I, II, III, stink on it and Rebels has a more familiar look especially to us older folk.

 

so far Lando with the voice of BDW has shown up and guess who for the season finale?

Speaking of the prequels, I'm not particularly fond of them (they're alright, but the OT is obviously on another level), but they're still watchable.  Episode 1 is also a lot better than people give it credit for IMO... it's still better than Attack of the Clones.  Don't know why that one gets a free pass, yet everyone hates on The Phantom Menace.  Somewhere along the lines though I guess a huge circlejerk started over Episode 1 and Jar Jar.

 

That pod race scene, and the Darth Maul fight were two of the best scenes in the entire prequel trilogy.  It's also not as ridiculously CGI heavy like Episode 2 and 3.  Seriously, go rewatch them... 2 and 3 are damn near cartoons.

The last few years have been wrought with change for the Star Wars franchise, but by far the most drastic was the redefinition of the Star Wars canon by an official story group. The franchise’s timeline has been streamlined significantly, removing the Expanded Universe and leaving only Episode I-VI, Star Wars: The Clones Wars, and any subsequent media as the new, official canon.

The first of this new, canon-official material was Star Wars Rebels (and its tie-in novel, “A New Dawn”), an animated series set only five years prior to Episode IV: A New Hope, focusing on the early days of the rebellion. The series wrapped its first season earlier this week and during its (rather epic) season finale dropped a few major bombshells.


During the finale, “Fire Across the Galaxy”, the Inquisitor was killed (well, chose to die would be a better way of putting it); Ahsoka Tano was revealed to be both alive and Hera’s informant “Fulcrum”; and Darth Vader joined Grand Moff Tarkin in his effort to squash the emerging rebellion against the Empire.

To begin with, Ahsoka being not only alive but also running the fledgeling rebellion with Senator Bail Organa was a welcomed reveal to Clone Wars fans fearing the worst for the young Jedi. She arrived in the nick of time, too, rescuing the Lothal rebels from what would have been certain death at the hands of the Empire.

I really like this show.... my only two complaints were just how dumb the Imperials were made to be (which is quickly taken care of when Tarkin arrives) and the fact that the whole show revolved around one planet (which looked pretty dull). I think that problem will be resolved in season 2, since we will get to see more of the rebel alliance.

 

I was kinda bummed that the season finale happened on a Star Destroyer instead of on Mustafar itself. kind of a cock tease. And damn it, does every minor villain get killed way too soon (Inquizitor, Maul, Jango Fett, etc). The heros don't stand a chance against Vader though. If they aren't constantly running away from him next season I'm calling BS. 

 

As for poo pooing on the prequels.... (sigh) I hate to be this guy but reading the books set in that time period makes watching the movies more enjoyable (even though they aren't canon anymore). The book "Cloak of Deception" is 10x better than the Phantom Menace (the book is the prequel to the prequel) and it even makes the taxation of galactic trade routes interesting.

      this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
