Please shoot me a PM if you add me so I know to add you back.
Also looks like we'll be seeing a bunch of trained Force-Sensitive Imperials (either assassins or some kind of trooper) make an appearance, which should be a fun set of villains.
Cadet Academy episode stuff:
So they could probably be doing both.
If you have the channel, you can watch it via Disney XD app/website.
Thanks, but I guess directv isn't a "participating provider".

Thanks for the info!
Thank Jebus Rebels doesn't have that issue. All the characters are really well done. My favorite parts is that the Imperials seem like valid threats and most of the crew are parts asshole, parts hero.
Zen vs Kallus is still my favorite sequence, the balls of that guy.

I love Zeb.
Sabine is probably the best though.
I think definitely one good thing about Rebels is that the voice actors are free to just do their characters, rather than having to do an impersonation of someone else's. Probably not a coincidence in that almost all of the really stand-out performances in Clone Wars were for original characters.
At the very least though I'd really recommend checking out some of the later season story arcs, which totally embrace the fact that this is all going to end terribly. It's not often you get to see an animated show soaked in Hitchcockian dread.
The last, Netflix season is pretty great, too. It follows that general idea, but with more of a focus on the premise for the war, including those nagging questions about Sifo-Dyas.
Like it's still imperfect either way to be sure, but if you just tell your friend the plot of the prequels it sounds terrible. If you tell them the plot of the prequels + the clone wars, it's actually a pretty interesting sounding story, with Anakin more of a Julius Caesar figure and the 501st as his 13th Legion
the main character is execrable but the rest of them are enjoyable
i also liked the dope ass transforming rapier lightsaber
Dammit if I'm not interested in continuing. Not only does the show get me from the nostalgia angle, it also seems to be steering well clear of the shitpile of everything from the prequel trilogy, which is double-good. So far, it seems like the show could've been made without the PT being made at all, and that's just fine with me.
(spoilered just in case anyone doesn't want to see a scene from the pilot episode)
They also did some shorts for the villains. Personally, I really like the design choices behind the inquisitor.
I dunno. When you see him actually use it, it makes a lot of sense in the cramped hallways of a starship. The thing fills the entire corridor. Dude just has to walk, and its basically a shield that melts you.
Admittedly the spinny blade does seem gimmicky, but when I thought about it, it's pretty much an extension of what General Grievous used to do with his arms, so I can kinda let it slide I suppose. Besides, his emphasis on analyzing his prey makes up for it.
That being said, I kind of like how it suits the dude's personality so far. It'll go single blade, double blade, goofy spinny blade... Dude likes to have lots of options, so he built himself a ridiculous swiss army knife of a lightsaber.
It may just be me. I think it's goofy looking, and it looks like that particular feature would be incredibly difficult to use in any kind of combat without lopping off your own limbs (or those of any one who may be nearby) than you would of actually hitting an opponent with it.
But, if the biggest complaint I have with the show is that the bad guys weapon is kind of goofy, I can live with that. It's not that big of a complaint, and if the writers are as good as it seems, it's unlikely that the Inquisitor will be seeing much hand to hand combat any time soon. I imagine they'll keep him pursuing the crew (particularly Ezra). When and if he shows up, the crew will bolt until the season finale when the Inquisitor will manage to trap them in such a way as they're forced to fight him to escape.
She also arts. And seems to have a fairly dickish sense of humor. May not be much, but it's something they can build on. I'd say give the show time for a Sabine centered episode so she can grow a back story and see what happens.
his voice is good
yeah but he favours the rapier look because hes dope ok
his head looks like a shark
True. The reason I bought it up is that no other characters get written like that. I don't see why she has to be left out, unless its intentional.
Um, Hera has had virtually no characterization either. She's been shown to be supportive of Kanan, but that's about it. There just haven't been enough episodes to give everyone a fleshing out.
.
Mara Jade and Starkiller are good example of these types of agents.
I don't think they tend to operate quite as openly as the Inquisitor though. My guess is he's a surrogate for Vader because the Jedi purge was his job during this time, but we can't really have Vader chasing after Kanan and Ezra every week and twirling his moustache. I'm sure he's off doing bigger-fish stuff.
Edit: Huh. I had to go look it up but it looks like Rebels is indeed drawing from the expanded universe as the Emperor did maintain a division of Inquisitors to look for Jedi.
Please shoot me a PM if you add me so I know to add you back.
So, yeah, Rebels is just as canon as any of the movies.
Please shoot me a PM if you add me so I know to add you back.
Do new episodes show up online first or something? I thought the last episode to air was "Rise of the Old Masters." I'm in the U.S. if that matters.
I love that even their astro droid is kind of a dick.
Disney replaced that with their own EU.
I thought she had greater characterization then Sabine got.
Starkiller was Vader's personal assassin, raised and trained to kill the Emperor. Sadly, Force Unleashed is still Legends until Galen Marek (or Vader's Secret Apprentice) is mentioned in one of the works going forward.
