Maybe have Sabine or Ezra die while Kanan was busy pitching woo at Hera, which then drives him into exile or a suicide-by-stormtrooper sort of situation.

He could die, he could fade into the background, he could decide to stay on Lothal as it's protector, he could become an apprentice of Palpatine (he won't, but you know, story wise, it's probably going to come up). I'm curious where they go before it's all over. They do meet up at least. After both eps were over, they showed a preview of the rest of the season and one shot included a closeup of Palps boasting, "I have you now, Ezra Bridger!"

Yeah, that's from the mid-season preview. It was posted earlier in the thread.

Ezra makes the most sense since everyone else would be super useful for the rebellion and can easily show up in future projects, but Ezra being a Jedi when Luke was specifically the last new hope of the Jedi would make him the obvious target. So long as its a worthy death to at least match Kanaan's it should be fine.

Just rewatched that midseason trailer; could just be Palpy chewing the scenery after getting a report that Ezra is surrounded by troops or something. But I also noticed a shot of Ezra in the same Kung Fu style 'force push out to either side' pose that Kanan was in..... My speculation is that Ezra will Sacrifice himself to somehow seal the Jedi Temple on Lothal against the Emperor.

TheCenturion posted:I know, that's my point. At the end of ROTS, Bail Organa saying 'Looks like I own a pair of droids now. Have the anthropomorphic one who can actually talk back mind-wiped and put him to work' is played as comedy. Also part of Lucas's need to brute-force in references, because C3P0 had no idea what the hell R2D2 was talking about half the time when he'd reference things in the original trilogy. But, yeah, it's kind of awkward as hell to just casually slip that in as a joke and just march right on by it without missing a beat.

If you didn't watch Rebels Recon, apparently the cast wasn't told that Kanan was going to die until they had already recorded everything up to that part, then Filoni came in and showed them the storyboards for the last part. There's a one-second shot in the behind the scenes stuff of Freddie Prinze Jr. sitting in the corner holding his head in his hands that's almost as heartbreaking as anything that happened in the episode.

According to recon Freddie had been pushing for it to happen for a while. Probably less shock, more overall sadness about everything coming to an end.

I seem to recall him being one of the several huge Star Wars nerds in the cast that just really, really loves the franchise and being a part of it, so I could see that being it. Then again, this is the final season so it's all coming to an end soon anyways.

They kept replaying shots of Kanan's death during that Recon segment and man, even outside of watching the episode, the clips of Kanan looking back at Hera while holding off the explosion are just so affecting. There was never a moment in Clone Wars that ever had that kind of hold on me. Good poo poo.

I just watched the latest Rebels Recon, and I didn't realize they all recorded in the same room together. That's cool, most shows don't do that and record separately, splicing them together later. The only other show I can think of that did that off the top of my head was Batman: The Animated Series.

It's not unusual for actors to record together, it happens frequently enough. It's just really hard to get everyone together for every episode.

I didn't know this was more the norm. I know when Batman did it, it was considered rare. Good on other shows for doing this, if they do. I think it helps chemistry.

Yeah, they talk about it in the behind the scenes extra stuff in the B:TAS boxset. They also talk about how everyone used to poke fun at Mark Hamill for standing up to perform the Joker.

While he was commuting he'd apparently spend the time practicing lines and, in particular, Joker laughs and would scare the poo poo out of people in surrounding cars. You can kind of see it in how he plays the Trickster on CW's The Flash too.

Dave Filoni interviews are always worth a read: http://www.animationmagazine.net/top-stories/director-dave-filoni-on-star-wars-rebels-the-journey-and-the-legacy/ The main takeaways: The early thinking was that Rebels would end with the crew getting the Death Star plans, but that obviously changed when Rogue One became a thing. We’ll find out what the next Lucasfilm Animation project is soon.

I’d love to see some kind of spy-thriller involving Cassian/Rebel Intelligence in general. Something like the movie Spy Games or The Usual Suspects with things getting all sorts of twisted every such way.

Futurama's cast recorded almost all of their episodes together. The only cast member who had occasional trouble making it to the group recordings was Katey Sagal, who was always so busy with other stuff, but Billy West would come in to act against her when it came time to do her sessions.

I'd rather something that takes place in the 30 years between RTOJ and TFA. Explaining the insane fuckups the New Republic made like completely demilitarizing itself, and letting "The Emperor had some good ideas" kind of people get into power, and most importantly, explore the origins of the first order. Maybe it could follow former Imperials who just want to move on, but their past keeps catching up with them. I mean, there will be books and comics and games that cover that era too, but I think an animated show would be the best. That or a New Canon version of the Old Republic. Though my hopes for the Rian Johnson or the GoT guys series is that too.

I took away you should not stop stomping on the face of fascists until they are no longer fascists. Its actually really facinating, as the books show that Leia and other heroes of the Rebellion said that they shouldn't let the Empire just gently caress off with all their ships and troops, but then one of the Palpatine did nothing wrong types let it spill she and Luke were Vaders kids so everyone turned on them.
