Star Wars Rebels

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.

    • Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.          
    • I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.  
    • Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
