Zeb's bo-rifle is different from the Light Bow Chirrut uses. Zeb's becomes an electric quarter staff. Chirrut's walking stick was separate from the light bow.

Ah, they just look similar when folded up I guess. I would not be surprised to see Krennick appear at a villain either at the end of this season or the start of next.

The Ghost is shown in the shot before Vader's Star Destroyer arrives. Almost all of the smaller than a corvette class ships warp out right before it appears. One of the transports slams into the star destroyer. Since Vader is only interested in the Rebel capital ship and everything but a frigate and that ship make it out, I think it's safe to say they're safe.

I loved that scene, it really showed the terror of the Empire. Also i didn't see this mentioned in earlier spoilers on Yavin there is a loudspeaker annoucement looking for a General Syndulla, which could be Hera or her father. I'd guess Hera because her father seems like the kind that would stay on Ryloth or be dead. Plus Hera being the leader of an early Rebel cell would probably have her be a high ranking officer once the rebellion is more formal I saw that they have a full story arc planned for Rebels, and they will finish it, so it won;t be like Clone Wars that stops pretty abruptly. I wouldn't be surprised if that is the formation of the Rebel Alliance from a group of small, independent cells because they realize the empire cannot be defeated by small actions, nor be able to defend people against the Empire's aggression.

In new canon there are other jedi running around that we haven't seen, just from the existence of the jedi hunting Inquisitor organisation. You don't create a group to do a task that doesn't need doing.

It was made abundantly clear that inquisitors (other than maybe the Grand Inquisitor) aren't real threats to people with actual Jedi training.

It kinda rubs me the wrong way that Vader wasn't personally hunting every remaining Jedi down. Like what else did he have to do? Also I know Vader is a resource best used sparingly but after Rogue One I'd love to see him get his own solo, maybe in the style of a horror movie monster.

Like I said, like a horror movie monster or the Terminator. We follow a bunch of sappy nobodies, maybe one's a Jedi driven to questionable moral choices, and we watch as Vader completely kicks their poo poo in. They run, some even fight, but nothing stops him and he just keeps showing back up to wreck dudes.

Sort of the feeling of despair when Kanan and Ezra go up against him and barely get away with their lives. Consider the current Marvel comic. The "Vader Down" event in particular, in which the Rebels manage to shoot him down and promptly get their everything kicked in trying to capture or kill him.

The whole Jedi purge is an exaggeration. There are plenty of Jedi still around during the original trilogy. Obi-wan and Yoda are both very unreliable narrators.

Bad Moon posted:Everyone writer making their special snowflake Jedi being able to survive Order 66 and the subsequent Purge was and is dumb Someone said something once about the fact that Obi-wan chose Tatooine was the reason Vader couldn't sense him, the trauma of his childhood slavery and his mother's death caused him to avoid it physically and mentally, creating a blind spot. Everyone else he was able to either sense or track down. Guess it doesn't explain Yoda unless you go with the dumb "Dark Jedi was killed here creating a Dark Side nexus" explanation.

I think there's a line in the original trilogy about how Dagobah has a super dark energy and that's how Yoda cloaked his presence. And while I agree that a ton of jedi surviving order 66 can grate, it also makes a certain amount of sense. In revenge of the sith a bunch of jedi go out like total chumps. If you haven't read it, the Kanan mini-series is pretty decent and does a great job of depicting the trauma of the Clone Wars.

I figured that because Dagobah was just the rear end in a top hat of the Universe. The post taco bell fart rear end in a top hat. But there is nothing stopping there be more Jedi that survived. Kanaan is the last Padawan, but full fledged Knights and Masters may have survived, but few survived Vaders hunt, so by the time ANH happens, the Jedi are pretty much extinct.

Isn't Vader's fortress from the original Star Wars "Starkiller" draft? It's a nice nod to what was. Plus, Rebels has mentioned that Lavaland is not a place you want to go. At the time, the bookies in the thread went crazy because they loved the idea of Vader making the place of his greatest defeat being the place of his triumph.
