Full Series Rebels: Season 1 Discussion Thread

Oh, okay. Thanks.

 

I did get the impression that they rushed through it in the comic Son of Dathomir. It felt like an over-simplified version of the story without all the detail we came to expect in the actual animated series. I would have liked it more in animated form, and we probably would have gotten more detail even on the side characters like Rook Kast.

 

I didn't think any of the Night Owls sided with Maul. Bo-Katan was pretty upset with Maul for killing Pre Vizsla. Enough so I think it took everything in her not to fly into an unstoppable rage to avenge him and ultimately go down like a punk. Thus the story progressed so Obi-wan could come mess everything up more. This all would be interesting to hear from Sabine in retrospect I guess.

Not sure this topic has that much to do with Rebels anymore.

 

Yeah. That's true.

Anyway, back on topic.

 

I hate to admit it but the first half of season one left almost no impression on me whatsoever. Let me make it clear that I'm an animation fanatic and I loved TCW as much as (and sometimes more than) any of the feature films and I'm a huge Filoni fan. Honestly, several of the tie-in books left more of an impression than the series. I'm planning on watching the episodes again after Xmas. But thus far: underwhelmed.

I understand the feeling, but I look at it as them showing that the crew was still getting used to each other and still doing some setup. There is still much background needed on the characters, but I am hoping that we get some of that here in the second half of season and that it will tie into the overall story.

 

She also also seemed annoyed at Maul becoming an ally. Maul was more calm after his chat with Pre in the tent scene, then Bo stepped forwarded and tested Maul as she mocked their current physical state and abilities. I think from that moment Maul knew they'd be playing games with these two. For whatever reason Pre just dumped them in a cell rather than ray shielded them, Maul and Opress couldve broke out anytime they wanted which was what they did. So not sure of the logic but whatever.

Interesting thing on Zanbar I noticed. There is Anooba dogs which Sabine sports one as art motif on her shoulder:



There is one Nite Owl female present after Maul assumes control of Death Watch, far right at Almec's speech and she accompanies him into Maul's thrown room(barely visible but you can see her there too):

Nice finds . I didn't even notice that about Zanbar. That was the camp where Death Watch relocated right? I wonder if that's just an easter egg or there is some connection between that planet; Death Watch and Sabine herself.

 

Noticed the Anooba, I didn't see the female mando. Cool finds!

 

Yea, but in SOD it wasn't a camp but a fortress. His forces had militarized considerably by this stage.

 

So with the new info that we will get season 2 starting in April and that season 2 will likely be over by the time TFA comes out do you think this is going to be a short lived series and that Disney plans on focusing entirely on the ST era? Or do you think the news of the early start for season 2 means little in terms of the future of the show?

 

I think it'll last about a year after TFA. If we're lucky, they'll keep it going past season 3.

 

I just want to say that so Far I love the Rebels even more then I loved The Clone Wars and I loved The Clone Wars!!!!! Who else is watching the Marathon of the First half of the First season of Rebels? I am taping it on my DVD Recorder!!!!!!!!!!

 

3 seasons is a pretty short time to build up a rebelion considering the pace of season one. They haven't put up ANY threat to the empire, just the local unit.

 

For the most part the Ghost Crew is doing the same exact thing the group of Rebels from the Tarkin book were doing and that was supposed to take place ten years prior to the Cartoon series. I think they can show how all these various pockets of resistence band together within three seasons to form the alliance and I think that would be a satisfactory conclusion (not an ideal conclusion but a satisfactory one).

 

Didn't read Tarkin yet, so I wouldn't know. So you guys are probably right.

 

Heya Guys, Returning force.net new member here, been ages since I've been here nice to be back.
And so much has happened in SW Universe

 

Welcome back.

Have you seen all or any episodes of Rebels yet?

 

We don't know that REBELS S2 will start in April. Only people who attend Celebration will get to see the first episode of S2, just like the people who got to see SPARK OF REBELLION at Comicon last year. There's been no information that says REBELS will start airing any earlier than October just like this year.

 

I'd assume it'll air sometime in May or June, if they're showing the episode in advanced that early.

 

Yeah, if they showed an advanced episode early and then made people wait months to watch it they might lose some viewers.

 

They better promote the hell out of season 2. I know my one friend is getting fed up with this hiatus.

 

So, are the newest batch of episodes in season 2, or is just a part 2 to season 1 as I first thought?
