Full Series Sabine

FPJ has also said that Rebels has been commissioned for the entire series so whatever that is it's already done and the renewal is just for publicity

 

I doubt there will be any post-RoTJ show until close to the time Episode IX comes out in theatres.

They absolutely want more than one animated series running at the same time. Rebels' run can continue to overlap the first year or two of the new show. It's going to be a year from now before any concept art gets released and another year for animation to be shown.

From his disappearance from SW social platforms. Dave Filoni probably spent most of the fall hiring a second team to start developing the new show. It's not like it could be the same staff developing that show while working on Rebels.

 

They can always do a show within a show. They can do 2 more seasons between Scarrif/Yavin 4 & Hoth. Call it SW Rebels Conflict or similar. Show Sabine fighting on Mandalore. The (maybe) deaths of the 2 Jedi. Show how Hera became a General, etc,etc.

 

These were a couple of points brought up on a YouTube comment (credited to Bryan Leong) and how they compared some of the training and the handling of Sabine's emotions to Anakin and the Jedi. Not my words but someone else's but I thought I should bring them up to get someone else's take.

"This is why the Jedi failed, they completely ignored emotion and they became arrogant and stuck in their ways, thus leading Anakin down a path with little choice. At first Kanan was training her how a Jedi would but that didn't work, so Kanan let Sabine do what Anakin couldn't, open up to them and find balance in herself, even if it means that they have to push her, they let her own who she is, while the Jedi let Anakin down his dark path. Anakin and Sabine are very similar, they are impatient and try to keep their emotions bottled up and not let others notice it but the Jedi made Anakin feel like he couldn't speak from his heart but now Sabine has that chance. This Episode wasn't about Lightsabers and was that a good decision made by Dave Filoni and the team."

"It was because of the Jedi Code and their choice to ignore emotions that Anakin felt like he couldn't talk to them about Padmé, that ultimately led him to Palpatine for guidance, remember he told Palpatine about his slaughter of the Tusken Raiders and not the Jedi." (Responding to how someone felt that it wasn't about the Jedi ignoring Anakin's feelings but that he was compromised remembering Yoda's words that Anakin was to old to begin training which was his warning to Qui-Gon)

"Well to me it's not so much to let her use her anger but more of letting her be more open instead of hiding her emotions. That's the true way to find balance." (Regarding how because Sabine isn't Force Sensitive she's not restricted to using emotions and that it's better for her to use anger in battles because it won't lead her down a dark path even though they felt Kanan will teach her to be mroe calm in the future)

This a point from someone named Jeremy Rodriguez in response to some of the things said above.

"I partially agree with what you're saying. I agree on the idea that the Jedi became arrogant -- for taking part in the Clone Wars -- but I disagree that they were "arrogant" for trying to stick with their Code and Honor. It was because of the Clone Wars that allowed the Dark Side to consume them, by giving up their Jedi Code for the sake of victory, allowing their anger and fear of loss to get the better of themselves instead of remembering what they stood for. That was why they failed because they actually allowed what was forbidden, in the first place, to consume them. The Clone Wars was the ultimate weapon created by the Sith to corrupt and destroy the Jedi Order. Remember what happened to Jedi Master Kit Fisto's former Padawan? He was consumed by the Dark Side due to the effects of the war, it completey made him forget his teachings, thus he allowed anger and passion to control him. And look where that got him; he ended up getting killed by the sinister General Grievous for trying to "answer power with his own". Had he follow his Code by putting his anger and passion behind him, he would more likely have survived. Even though that his heart was in the right place, his mind was not. Because of that, he had no balance, and completely lost who he was before he became a Jedi Knight. Look at Pong Krell, a Jedi War Hero, who later betrayed Anakin Skywalker's 501st Legion because he foresaw what will become of the Jedi and the Republic itself, when the Clone Wars ends. Because of his fears and beliefs that the Jedi will lose the War, after foreseeing it (which turns out to be true as we all know), falls to the Dark Side l, and plans to be part of the New Order as Dooku's apprentice. Look at what happened to Barris Offee, a once peaceful Jedi standing for peace, fell to the Dark Side because of the War. Although, she was right for calling out how far gone the Jedi Order was, following the War, she failed to prevent the Dark Side to consume her. As a result, she killed Jedi and Clones alike, even framing her own best friend, Ahsoka Tano (who got expelled and was about to be locked up in Prison) because of her passion in trying to point out a message of how gone the Order was. These turn of events caused shock and trouble amongst the Jedi, including trust issues, as they were beginning to think they were being manipulated and deceived which is why they expelled Ahsoka because they didn't trust her. They were even beginning to not trust Master Yoda towards the last episodes of Season 6 of TCW, as they were believing that he was under the Dark influence of the Sith. Mace Windu didn't trust Anakin because he, along with the Council, didn't like how he was attached to a man (Sheev Palpatine) who has been interfering with Jedi affairs. After all, Palpatine was the true Master Mind behind everything, including Anakin Skywalker's fall to the Dark Side, the Clone Wars, the Separatist Uprising, and the Blockade of Naboo -- all part of his plan to destroy the Jedi Order and have the Sith rule the Galaxy. It's too bad the Jedi were blinded by their arrogance to not realize that they were being deceived, due to their immediate involvement in the Clone Wars, something Palpatine Wanted."

Bryan's follow up point "If the Jedi allowed Anakin to return to his mother and truly follow the will of The Force Palpatine wouldn't have been able to play them so easily. This is why Yoda in Empire Strikes Back doesn't talk about the emotional attachment stuff said in the prequels."

A point from somone named Orges Berisha "I can't agree with you more. The Jedi are idiotic. NO ONE can live bottling up all their feelings, it will just make you sick and kill you inside, make you do things against your own nature."

Bryan's response and this will be the last point "You can be both passionate and calm at the same time. Like Star Wars Explained said Kanan is bringing the Jedi into a new direction with him learning all these new things from the Bendu."

I originally was going to put this as part of my review for Trial of the Darksaber but felt it took up too much time and space and took away from tackling the episode itself and felt it was better suited here.

 

Honestly the Jedi allowing Shmi to stay enslaved after Anakin left (and don't tell me that there was NOTHING that they could do about that), and not allowing him to visit her at all (or any Jedi for that matter), was a horrible decision.

I mean they don't have to drop by for tea every other week. But NO contact at all, that's not healthy (especially since, for most of them, being separated from their family was never their choice to begin with).

 

The Jedi were a religious order, which required separation from family to combat individual emotional attachment; quite similar to many Eastern orders currently in this world.

 

Sabine's been adding graphics to her room since the beginning of the series.

The Kallus and Zeb as BFFs, Space Whales, Ketsu, Lando and his pig.

 

I love how Sabines room is basically a mural of the whole show.

 

I'm wondering if we're ever even gonna see Ketsu again.

 

Same. I also wonder if she will swear allegiance to Sabine as well.

 

I do. I'm thinking by the end of these episodes with her family, Sabine is going to finish forging her armor with them.

 

Two possible ways to handle that IMO. First, have her swear fealty to her in the same manner that Fenn Rau has so that she continues to gather support and eventual rule of Mandalore further down the timeline. Second, have her be a challenger to Sabine's rule and at the end of the challenge have her swear fealty after being defeated. Both options further her story, and the story of Mandalore.

IMO, they've setup Sabine and by extension her family's story to be inextricably tied to Mandalore at this point. It's also added a much needed depth to the show's story by adding this plot line. With that in mind, it's made her much more valuable as a character to the overall franchise.

 

And many don't. And yet, they're not inherently "weaker" because of it. The mistake is assuming that separation automatically makes you stronger.

 

Agreed. Prior to this season (and perhaps just prior to this latest episode) it was hard to tell at times what purpose Sabine even had in the show. It really felt at times that she was just in the show simply because they thought it would be cool to have a Mandalorian in the group.

She now has a purpose in the show which does make her character a lot more interesting.

 

Finally Sabine has told her WHOLE STORY! I had a feeling there was MORE to it than what she was saying After what she tried to do for her own family & people...they chose the DAMN EMPIRE! How could they?!!!

 

I just can't wait to see here brother.

 

I wonder if he is older or younger then Sabine? And if he's older, if he is part of Saxon's super commando's.

 

I also hope we get to learn who her father is. I don't think he will still be alive, but I would like to know.

 

Who says her brother is even still alive....he may very well be dead....dad too.

 

Killed by the weapons that Sabine helped to design...

 

I saw it too & didn't want it cause I don't know who's face is on that weird looking figure.

Probably the 1st time I wanted a figure so bad but had to change my mind cause of how ugly looking they both are. It's just so weird to look at them in the cartoon & then be offered this weirdness in the real world.

 

huh. i thought she was some kind of Mexican.
