It's been a fun four-ish years and I'm glad they're actually being allowed to finish Rebels instead of having to put the rest of the series in books and comics Although from a certain point of view, they've already done that with some plot points, such as the Cadets episode from S1 ultimately being resolved in junior novels, as well as Kanan's backstory having an awesome comic series...

Jerusalem posted:I only caught up recently and I just wanted to say that the Obi Wan/Maul "fight" was absolutely spectacular and something I feel has been sorely missing from the newer Star Wars films. Just a single perfect stroke of his blade and the fight is done almost before it started. The fight has been going on since The Clone Wars (for Obi-Wan; Maul's been at it since Obi-Wan cleaved him in half some three decades prior) and Obi-Wan played Maul like a flute in their final duet, and so the curtain finally falls for two old warriors, who leave it to the next generation to finish what they started (destroying the Sith) Quite an underrated duel and I like that

Gonz posted:Yeah, no Death Star test quite yet. Although the final season of the show just being a huge waste of time on Mandalore while Luke Skywalker wrecks everybody's poo poo off screen would be incredibly hilarious. The short time on Mandalore turns out to be around twenty years for the rest of the Galaxy and now the Ghost crew has to puzzle out what the heck happened Meanwhile, Chopper is even more hysterical than usual due to his plans for the First Order getting thrown out of whack thanks to the time skip and he becomes inconsolable with all the carnage he missed out on

Is anyone else amused by the fact they turned an episode with Death Troopers in it into a comedy? Was also nice seeing Snoke getting practice for being Supreme Leader in by ordering people around Doubt he enjoyed slamming into the side of a radar dish though

Rebel Assault Synopsis: "Hera leads a courageous attack against Grand Admiral Thrawn's forces, but when things go awry, her battle to win must become a daring escape if she is to survive." So it looks like they're going to fail miserably which is a good thing and shows that the Empire isn't a joke like it was in previous seasons Still, given Rebels' track record, I wonder how many Star Destroyers are going to bite it this time

Nothing until the new year (something something not wanting to interfere with The Last Jedi, or maybe writing scripts for the next show... who knows) Guess it's time to rewatch Clone Wars for the Nth time

I wonder how much more material we'd have for TCW and Rebels if TV Episodes were allowed to be 25-28 minutes long (Ideally without counting intro/outro credits) Vinylshadow fucked around with this message at 18:23 on Nov 14, 2017 |

I'll forever be disappointed that we didn't get different seasons focusing on different Rebel cells and a different villain for each of them Ezra and Kanan vs Inquisitors (S1) Ahsoka vs Vader (S2) Hera vs Thrawn (S3) Obi-Wan and Luke vs Maul (S4) Finale (S5) Lost Episodes (S6) And throughout all of them, we'd get little episodes where we see the Rebels picking up different ships (A, Y, B, X, U-Wings, for example) and gathering intel on a mysterious new weapon the Empire is building All while the Empire is closing its fist around the Rebellion and it takes all the cells coming together to not get snuffed out, but they still suffer massive casualties in their escape

I love firing up random episodes of TCW because it's that kind of series where continuity isn't a massive issue and enjoying the various space and ground fights (Umbara is easily my favorite to rewatch) Heck, they even managed to redeem the gungans to a small degree and the Jar-Jar/Mace Windu episodes in Season 6 were enjoyable I commend Rebels for being more focused on an individual group of characters and it's a fine series, but it lacks the scale and scope that TCW had Also went back and watched the TCW movie and...hoo boy, does it look ridiculously unpolished in places - feels like I'm watching an unfinished demo reel like the Bad Batch and Crystal Crisis episodes

twistedmentat posted:The First Thrawn comic came out this week, and from the previews, it will feature Rebels stuff as Pryce and Lothal are shown on one of the covers. Thrawn meeting Anakin is probably going to be covered in the next Thrawn book Most likely be vaguely placed somewhere within TCW so they don't have to give exact dates, but fans are gonna pore over every little detail and determine which week of the Clone Wars they met and gripe about continuity as a result

I wish they'd done more with Kanan and his new look Feels like a waste of a good character model So when does his Force Ghost show up? Or would he be sparkles like Qui-Gon Jinn back in TCW? (S6 - during the Yoda arc)

Meanwhile, Ezra and Thrawn are of playing Sabacc and Dejarik in the middle of nowhere for over five years Although I suppose they landed somewhere at some point, which begs the question of where the hell were they during the OT Even Purrgil can't stay in Hyperspace forever Did they wind up in the Unknown Regions and get taken in by the Chiss? Did they meet the Vong scout from their planned appearance in TCW? (Although given Anakin Skywalker has met Thrawn, I wonder if that's where that plot point would be brought into canon...perhaps in the new Thrawn book...)

banned from Starbucks posted:What else do we need to know about Obi-wan? Practically his entire life is shown on screen as it is between the prequels, TCW and ANH. There's just about zilch in the new canon about his apprenticeship under Qui-Gon (wouldn't surprise me if people still considered the Jedi Apprentice series canon, or at least broad strokes...) The period between TPM and AotC only has a single Anakin & Obi-Wan comic miniseries and was more about Palpatine manipulating him anyway The period between RotS and ANH has had a few tidbits sprinkled here and there, but that's probably where a Kenobi film would take place if Ewan MacGregor reprised the role Given how Star Wars originally had the subtitle "from the journals of Luke Skywalker" and we know Obi-Wan kept similar journals, they could probably do something with that I wonder how effective it'd be to...I dunno, have a Kenobi movie that incorporates flashbacks to Obi-Wan’s childhood in it as he protects Luke and goes about his daily activities on Tatooine
