Full Series Rebels 2.05 - Always Two There Are - Discussion Thread (Spoilers Allowed)

"Creator bashing comment"? Hardly. I protest, mods. Massive overreaction and misinterpretation of my comment. You can't just censor any post that isn't glowing with praise for the 'creators'.

 

It was a creator bashing comment actually. It's one thing to dislike Filoni or what he does, which is fine. But when you start using insults to describe what a creator does then it is creator bashing. I'm sorry but that's not allowed.

 

Anyone else surprised Kanan didn't accuse Rex of setting them up? That was the first thing I thought when SS's droid happened to be there waiting for them. And with his suspicion of clones, it seemed like something he'd jump to.

 

Oh, I am sure it will come and the bickering will devolve into outright blatant accusations. (The season 2 trailer already hints at this) which I am going to side eye Kanan at that point.

 

what did fanboy say?

He was probably in too much of a shock at the moment. Wouldnt surprise me if they will mention it in an upcoming episode

 

I wonder how many episodes it will last before they start trusting each other.

 

Hopefully, their buddy cop episode should help- I can't wait to see them both in stormtrooper armor!

 

CIS Droid

Sorry but once it's been removed we can't repeat it.

 

Fair enough. I was only curious

 

Stormtrooper disguises again, I hope they don't start to do it every time now.

 

I know this is beating a dead horse, but I have to agree. It wasn't until about the 1920's in western countries that adolescence actually existed,( and there are many third world countries where it still doesn't exist.) Before the past century in the west, once kids hit 12-15 years old they were considered "adult" and went off to fight wars, get married etc. Now I don't necessarily agree that is morally right its not too far fetched to believe this stuff happens in a war torn GFFA. What I do have a problem with however is the fearless sueish nature of Ezra and Sabine where they don't even seem to be afraid of consequences or death.

 

After rewatching the episode theres one thing i dont understand. What was ss doing on the medical station? How did she know the rebels would be there? Is it the force or is the station like a second home for her?

 

Perhaps She sensed them?

 

Her parrot/probe droid called her.

 

They do not tell you how. Sidious said to dispatch another Inquisitor, singular, back in the opening movie,"For now, dispatch another Inquisitor to hunt them down." Watching her reaction, she seems surprised and disappointed that the Fifth Brother was there too . You're left to presume these Inquisitor's are highly competitive and try robbing eachother of jobs and kills. The Fifth Brother seems he was officially given the task by Vader from all the dialogue and how it was presented to the audience. The 7th Sister, seems like an after thought from the writers and she was inserted and comes off as a surprise and upstart to even the 5th Brother. How she got there, no idea to the med station, perhaps she was spying on Imperial transmissions and also using the Force like the 5th Brother was doing onboard the Star Destroyer when he knew they were there and went alone(so the heroes could escape lol). They never show how either Inquisitor actually got to the station, there is no vehicles visible inside the hanger, aside from the Phantom(which they did not even bother to scuttle so they could not escape, very sloppy), so either there is more entrances or they made their own they never bother to show us.

 

If you have watched the TCW episode with one of these stations you see there are many bays/docking ports. Which assuming people would have watched that episode is not smart, at the same time exactly how they got on the station and where their ships are really is not important at all, and doesn't need to be shown. Considering the length of this show, they shouldn't be shown.

 

They probably should've showed it, as I don't think many of the newer kids are familiar with the TCW, especially not in the same way as adult fans. Another issue is how Konstantine and his Star Destroyer needed to stop engaging the Jedi, and needed to go rendezvous with the Inquisitor's shuttle - while all of a sudden in this episodes he takes off on his own like its something he does all the time and that whole thing with the SD was plot convenience for the heroes sake- and we're never shown how he(or she) got there and in what vehicle.

 

There's lots of things that are changed for the plots sake. In the AtAs duel when the clones ram the walker, why didn't the Walker use the side guns to shoot downwards. Hell the fact that one 30 year old vehicle could take multiple shots from a Walker was a bit hard to believe anyway.

 

The AT-TE would be about 17 years old, tops. Not 30. Not that it really matters all that much.

 

In Cargo of Doom the AT-TE's mass driver cannon was powerful enough to penetrate the hull of a battleship but cannot take down an AT-AT at even close range, cept for pin point neck shots(I guess Filoni's idea of a Tiger's rear armor from Kelly's heroes). Many times their action sequences make no sense at all, its like kids with toys and pretending. The AT-TE is no Sherman tank, it had a massive canon and heavy armor, and even using the AT-AT as a Tiger tank, its main guns should've leveled the AT-TE from long distance as those cannons were pretty powerful in ESB.

 

It's funny how fans seem to want to pick and choose what needs to be explained or not. SW has NEVER really been about explaining exactly how the tech works (that's more ST's domain). Do we know exactly how the hyperdrive on Han Solo's ship works, nope. Do we NEED to, nope. This is little different in that regard.

 

I only know that Han needed the hydro spanners when working on the Falcon's hyperdrive!

 

This. So much this. I hate when I see people complaining "how did that work" or "how does the Inquisitor lightsaber work" and all that. When I saw the Inquisitor saber I didn't think "hm, how does that work..." I thought "OMG that is epic..." It's Star Wars, it's all fictional. Their tech doesn't need an explanation. Just let it serve its purpose. And most of the time, the tech is explained in the guides and all that. It's not like they're going to stop and explain every piece of technology when introduced.

 

I agree with everything you said except the inquisitors lightsaber. Im still confused by it.

I

But why was the droid at the station?

 

Sabine turning on the power alerted the Imperials. The Seventh Sister probably noticed it as well.
