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

So Palpatine stopped Force sensitives from being born? Ah, no.

Hey, I haven't been in this forum recently. Did everyone see that Brent Spiner is confirmed to play Kallus? I assume so, but just checking.

And we still don't know who's voicing the Inquisitor? Weird.

 

He can't stop them from being born, but an untrained "noobler" probably isn't much of a threat. Anakin's abilities didn't really manifest themselves to really help him with anything but podracing. It's implied that Luke's abilities helped him be extremely precise in... shooting womp rats.

Ezra probably gets help from the Force, but without actually being trained, he'd probably be overlooked - if it wasn't for him stealing from the Empire.

 

Jeff Goldbum should totally voice a character for Rebels

 

Kanan, the Hipster Jedi!

 

"Must go faster. Must go faster."

 

Thank you! How would you feel if you were a law-abiding citizen and you were you arrested for "Force-sensitivity"?

 

Probably all 3

 

Not very good...and I'm speaking from experience.

I never made the argument that having Force Abilities would inherently make Ezra a threat to Palpatine or his Empire. I was just putting it out there that just as it has always been there are still individuals being born that if one day steered in the right (or wrong) direction could become a thorn in Palpatine's side. I personally find the idea that someone could possibly through self discovery and teaching themselves could utilize the force in a totally unique and powerful enough way that they could become someone that is a threat.

 

GL and Kasdan's "anybody can use The Force" conversation implies this to be how Palpatine himself became a Force-user.

 

where's this from?

 

I believe from the new Making of Return of the Jedi book that just came out.

 

Just saw in a SW Weekends video they had the first appearance of their official Rebels characters:

Sabine is looking fine

 

Regarding the argument by -Engelhast- saying that graffiti does not feel like "Star Wars", I beg to differ, given that at least one artwork from the Rebellion era EU shows Rebel graffiti on an Imperial propaganda poster:



I could definitely see the Imperials acting accordingly after seeing Sabine's "works of art" plastered all over the walls of Lothal.

Speaking of propaganda pieces, recall the influx of Imperial enlistment posters being released a few months ago?

I'd love to see some within the show itself, akin to this piece:


And wouldn't it be neat if they show us a poster of Coruscant's Imperial Palace or Senate building, along with the massive statue of the Emperor? Like this:

 

The Empire has always been anti-artistic. Look at how they removed the plume from the guards' helmet and look at how in ROTS and the OT the Rebellion is colorful while the Empire is monochromatic.

 

Now how much money do you think that girl spent at the salon in order to make her hair look like that?

 

Looks like a really good wig IMHO.

The colors of Ezra's outfit seem really off.

 

I wonder if it would be a good idea in Rebels if Kanan lost his lightsaber sometime in the show. If that happened, it could create interesting character development. Perhaps focus on his non-lightsaber skills for a bit, and he would have to lean more on his skill with a blaster and just using the force. A story about a jedi without a lightsaber can be interesting. Also the loss could affect Kanan deeply since the lightsaber represents his Jedi past.

It could also create a plot line of him trying to build/gain a new blade. Perhaps he could steal a lightsaber (or crystal) designed for Imperial dark jedi, giving Kanan a crimson blade, making him even more of a not so traditional jedi. Personally I want to see on screen a Jedi wielding a red blade longer then what Obiwan did in TCW.

 

Now that's interesting... Does anyone here attend SW Weeknds and can confirm this?

I think the Empire is creative enough, in certain media:

 

Well, if someone wants to help pay for the ticket I'll go. =b

Seriously... saw this coming. Whoever heard of the Greg Weisman show without ship to ship combat.

 

I figured it was a given that there was going to be a romance, just because all the movies have had one. And given that the human(oid) cast is limited to a younger male and female in Ezra and Sabine, and an older male and female in Kanan and Hera, I figured there'd be a relationship forming between one or both of these pairs.

Unless Rebels decides to break away from the mentor dying pattern that we've seen in the deaths of Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan and Yoda, I figure Kanan will die eventually, so I don't think that an Ezra/Sabine romance is out of the question, either running simultaneously with a Kanan/Hera relationship, or taking over the spot light in the wake of Kanan's presumed death.
