Full Series Official Star Wars Rebels Discussion Thread (Spoilers Allowed)

QFT ^ ^

 

I'm totally for you and I being hired.

 

Here's a pretty good fullbody look at Sabine, get a pretty good look at her armor in this, and it really seems more maroon and orange then pink.

 

Whoa! Where did you find that? Are there full-bodies of the other characters?

 

Only of Kannan and Sabine so far, sorry.
But I have also found HD full images of the pics shown at the end of each intro video.

 

Incidentally, on the subject of graffiti, sci fi and rebellions,

I-War.

The greatest space combat game ever made. The Earth Commonwealth Navy battle a colonial independence movement.

The Indies get their ships by borrowing them from the navy. And then adding a little color.

 

Cool! I'd be interested, but you might need to put them in spoiler tags, since they'll be so big. Or maybe link them. But, yeah, put em up! Thanks!

 

Exactly! I am reminded of these words by one Ranah Teh Naast:

I am glad that at the very least Sabine represents a different side of Mandalorian culture we haven't gotten to see onscreen just yet, one distinct from the polar opposites that were Death Watch and the New Mandalorians, and hopefully we'll get more hints of this culture outside of the standard bounty hunter stereotype that many aruetii casual fans think when they see the word "Mandalorian".

 

Well I can put them up here yeah, but this is why I was asking if anyone wanted me to start a gallery over at screencapped.net. So that I can put them all up on there so you could view them to your hearts content without having to sort through posts.

Plus It'd have caps of all the promo vids too, and eventually of the full eps. Which would be about 1000 caps per ep, by our norm for 20 minute shows.

 

Sabine looks awesome. Now she just has to be awesome.

 

Ok, I see. I'd be interested, for sure.

 

I see no problem with graffiti as a form of rebelling, nor with the idea that the Rebellion can be "fun" from some characters' points of view, at least initially.

I mean, even in WWII films or other war films, it's not uncommon for rookies to get excited for war. For instance, I'm watching HBO's The Pacific, and some of the characters are boasting about how they are going to take out a whole platoon of Japanese soldiers all by themselves, etc. But then they actually see combat and it's sobering.

We might see this kind of evolution, though probably not to that extent. Star Wars always remains a fun adventure first and foremost, so I'm not expecting anyone to be developing PTSD or anything like that. As someone pointed out earlier, it might be more like Ahsoka's evolution from being extremely over confident, and having a feeling like she can take on the Separatists no matter what the odds, to getting everyone under her command killed.

Ezra steals the helmet off a downed TIE pilot. He goes right up, and snatches off his head, it seems. Then he skips away unscathed over a helmet. Yes, too much of that can become annoying, but he could also just be a character that has yet to experience failure, or what the Empire is truly capable of.

Maybe someone Ezra cares about gets killed over the stuff that Ezra is doing. He pokes the wasp nest and finally gets stung, so to speak. Maybe then he'll stop seeing it as a game. Even Luke was really excited about the Rebellion against the Empire, like it's some fun adventure he wants to learn more about. But then Beru and Owen are executed by the Empire and Luke gets swept up into the middle of events...

As for the graffiti, I don't see what the problem is. It's not like she tags along ONLY to mark buildings. It seems more like rubbing salt into the Empire's wounds. To those that see it, it kind of serves as a confirmation that there people standing up to the Empire. It's not like the Empire can really come up with a cover up story for being embarrassingly defeated by a ragtag army when artwork is left at the scene, pretty much as a big middle finger to the Empire.

 

Characters in shows Weisman works on tend to be troped-up and built around one or two quirks Lets take a moment to remember who Rebel's target audience is going to be. However they tend to get rich character arcs with well thought out backgrounds. I'm not particularly excited about any of the characters except Sabine. The structure of the main cast of characters of Rebels thus far reeks of a safe formula. That's not a terrible thing really, there is something particularly compelling about taking something that seems really lame and even cliche and turning it into something awesome. One of the earliest things we learned was Rebels was gonna be like Scooby Doo with the cast going from place to place solving mysteries. Gargoyles handled that sort of thing very well in the Avalon world tour.

 

Luke, Han, and Leia are all pretty enthusiastic after they reunite after they blow up DS1. And that's after the death of Ben, Owen, Beru, Biggs, most of the X-Wingers, and the destruction of Alderaan.

Optimism and humor in the face of an Empire, no matter how irrational, is a necessary component to staying in the fight and not quitting. It also shows us the difference between the rebels' "humanity" and the Empire's joyless totalitarianism.

 

That full body shot is really good. I like her design a lot. There's something anime-ish about it. Also, yeah for there being a female POC character. It seemes like there's like two of those in the entire Galaxy.

 

Not liking the concept that the rebel alliance symbol could be just some graffiti art somebody made up...

 

I like the wolfish head on her shoulder plate that's about it. The colours, style and especially the paint spatter and expression does nothing for me. Definitely doesn't look like it's serious which I think is a grave mistake. However completely unsurprising (yes I am speaking of the image but it doesn't raise my hopes at all for the series as a whole, either.)

 

Not every character has to be brooding and angsty. The OT wasn't even like that. TCW wasn't like that. We have those type of characters, so this one is a nice counterbalance.

 

What makes you think that it is? All that that shows is that she chose to spray paint the symbol onto her armor, not that that's how it first came about.

 

Thrawn: I never said they did. I said it didn't look serious. This series about war. War is serious and making it seem fun to kids is dangerous.

 

Who said it's just some graffiti art somebody made up? It's the rebel symbol, and she spraypaints it everywhere to say, "Hey, the rebels were here."

 

Ok, your really not thinking clearly obviously. You want a series on real war, a series as dark as serious as a real war. Watch the history channel. This isn't that, this is Disney XD. You're not gonna have realistic war here as much so as you want.
