Full Series Grade The Episode 2.10: "The Future Of The Force" (Spoilers Allowed)

I've been far more fair in my grades for Rebels. It should come as no surprise that I was far more of a fan with TCW than I am with Rebels. The other night I re-watched the "Children of the Force" episode of TCW, and compared to this latest Rebels episode, it was like night and day. But I still gave the "Future of the Force" episode a 9/10 because it was exciting, with an interesting plot.

Trust me, If you had given that last episode I high grade, I'd have been shocked and...dare I say...pleasantly surprised.

 

Ahsoka's Tano

Yeah AT your behavior right now it totally uncalled for. Darth_Pevra and anakinfansince1983 don't think the episode was great, alright. That their own opinions. Neither if them have to like everything Rebels produces.

If you don't like their reviews that's fine but they weren't entirely about Ahsoka. But we also don't need this turning into a big Ahsoka is awesome/no she's awful argument either.

 

I was anticipating getting into a debate like this the first time Ahsoka had more screentime.

 

Wouldn't bother me if everyone hated Sabine, I don't mind being a hipster! XD

 

I'm willing to bet that if Sabine and Hera got their own episode (one where the guys don't show up at the very end to rescue them), that would be a popular episode.

 

Didn't they already have? One was crap, the other was good.

 

I'm pretty sure it was only the one; I forgot the name of it, but they were on some distant planet picking up fuel tanks when those weird creatures in the dark came out and advanced on them. They seemed to hold their own, but when things got ultimately hairy at the end, the real Jedi Heroes of Rebels came to their rescue.

 

And then Sabine saved Ezra after the latter nearly got overwhelmed by them.

 

Oh you meant the two of them together? I thought you meant individual episodes. Though they were also together in the Hera-centric episode, they both saved the day.

 

Ah, this reminds me of the LACWAC of old. It's funny being an observer to the madness this time around.

 

I'm a 'proto-hipster' like Trevor Phillips.

 

Well at least in Ahsoka's Tano she is in the majority even if a lot of people on this forum don't agree with liking Ahsoka. go check out places like Reddit to see what I mean.

For having a Reddit account for a whole year I have never seen one person who does not like Ahsoka on that site.

And after all these are reviews and not indicative to how you should feel about the episode.

 

It's all vanity at the end of the day and people seeking attention and approval from peers.

 

Let's focus on the episode again please.

 

I still like this episode because I enjoy the action, plain and simple. With Rebels I'm trying to just enjoy the experience of weekly Star Wars rather than the experience of coming here every week to pick apart and over analyse each episode like I did with TCW. That became my focus instead of the show itself and I'm having a lot more fun following Rebels as a result.

That said, a lot of people have made very good points about the Inquisitors and how they're being whooped too soon, before they got a chance to be properly established as credible threats, which I definitely agree with. As nice as it is to hop around and get some variety in the episodes so far it's season, I preferred the clearly visible overarching narrative of Season 1. The Grand Inquisitor got several episodes to establish himself as the main baddie of the season before Kanan bested him, and whilst the Rebels continued to escape his clutches he at least made them work for it. Always Two There Are was alright as an introductory episode but the Rebels' escape was much less convincing watching it back. We could have benefited from following a more coherent narrative which allowed all the characters, especially the Inquisitors, to develop and flourish. In particular we need situations that show the Inquisitors winning that don't turn into the heroes escaping as this has been a prevalent theme throughout Rebels. More redshirts would be welcome to give the battles real meaning. Then the battle with Ahsoka would in turn have had much more meaning as we would have really been able to appreciate just ow powerful she is. I don't mind that Ahsoka is powerful but as others have said before me the scale of her victory is difficult to gauge as we have not yet had the opportunity to understand how powerful her opponents were.

 

Lucius?

 

Inky!

 

Oh. Do you guys have a nickname for every character I do like the nicknames when i understand which character they belong with.

 

I think we should call Seventh Sister Barriss because people still think they're the same person despite the number of times it's been discredited as a theory. Might as well join them and have a few laughs.

 

That sounds fun. I wonder if there exists a thread about nicknaming characters. Would be fun to discuss possible nicknames with other users
