Full Series Star Wars Rebels - 1.03 - Droids in Distress - Discussion Thread

Yeah. Ezra is pretty likable. I was worried at first, because I thought he was going to be annoying. Glad I was wrong.

I hope we get a chance to go back there. I want to see more of it.

 

I'll take it.

 

- galaxy feels smaller by shoving in OT characters
- racism against droids
- zero tension in fights
- Crew leaves imperial droids activated and allows them to wonder around and access the comm system
- Crew doesnt notice R2 pulling out his recorder right in front of them.
- Zeb gets overly emotional over disruptors
- imperial minister wears a stupid cone hat
- Disruptors are banned by the senate but star destroyers aren't? Also op gun that can one shot vehicles and ships will probably never be mentioned again or used by imperials
- Crew needlessly blows up disruptors in desperation when they could of just used them to destroy the remaining walker, storm troopers, and shuttle
- Callous, once in charge of genocide, has been demoted to chasing delinquents
- Ezra force powers too op, plz nerf

+Callous kicks zebs ass

Severe decline of writing from the pilot

 

Bail was bound to appear early since this is rebels after all but I kinda agree that galaxy easily feels small like it many times did in TCW...

I think it's "lothalian" traditional hat or something so I have no issue with that

I think it's because of what they do to living beings is somewhat inhumane or something- It's no more odd than real world weapon bans IMO

 

Hera outright said that they were.

 

Also on the point of disruptors being banned. Hera's words to Ezra: "have you seen what those weapons do to organics" gave me the impression that they were banned for being inhumane, kinda like flamethrowers. So I think that would be the explanation.

 

Huh? I put that as a positive

 

The disruptors were banned by the senate not by the empire. The senate has not been dissolved yet and still holds some sway.

 

I would of preferred Zebs reaction to be more subtle, instead he roars at ezra to get out of his room and jumps back at the mere sight of disruptors

 

Well. It did destroy his home and family.

Why would be try to be subtle about something that destroyed his livelihood? He has a right to be angry.

 

I would of expected an elite honor guard soldier to be more in control of himself and more hardened

 

Even the strongest person has a breaking point.

 

Exactly. No matter how tough someone is on the outside, if they have been through turmoil etc. Something can tick them off and they break down. In Zeb's case it was anger.

 

The dialogue said the Senate banned them, not the Empire. Remember in ANH that even at that late date the Senate carried quite a bit of influence. Leia threatened Vader with Senatorial action when he took her prisoner on the Tanitive IV. Vader took that threat seriously enough that he faked the destruction of the ship with the loss of all hands rather than have them become involved.

 

Not true, there were several times in TCW where the Senate could have (and almost did) derail the war, and Palpatine had to do some quick Xanatos Speed Chess to get things back on track.

 

-True, but if anyone from the OT SHOULD make an appearance for no particular reason it's R2 and 3PO. I mean they had their OWN TV show decades ago.
-You forget that throughout the galaxy-wide Clone Wars that the enemy was, well, droids. Remember Wuher? "We don't serve their kind here."
-I feel you on the part about the Imperial droids but it's not like the Ghost crew are professional, well, anything yet. They're not even professional Rebels. Not exactly Alliance SpecForce. I don't know if they knew what to look for.
-I never paid that scene with R2 pulling out the recorder no mind. Astromechs are always doing something sneaky and everyone was preoccupied.
-Zeb probably saw his family get gruesomely disrupted.
-Cone hat...no comment.
-Flamethrowers are banned but drone strikes aren't. I'm with you on wanting to see the Imps using their disruptors and using them effectively however.
-Shooting each individual stormtrooper would have taken time. They needed to buy time.
-Kallus is ISB. They're the Space Gestapo. Between exterminating aliens and chasing criminals, they do it all. Don't forget, Yularen from the TCW who used to lead fleets into epic battles is now a colonel in the same organization. It'd be interesting to see Kallus have to report to him.
-There's no such thing as "overpowered". Compared to Starkiller Ezra is just as weaksauce as every other Jedi. I mean a Jedi who couldn't do a simple Force shove when in a desperate life-or-death moment is hardly even worth training.

Seeing Kallus report to Yularen at some point would be awesome. I wonder how much he has changed in fourteen years. You know, besides looking much older.

 

Ozzel class incompetence, no wait even Ozzel would of deactivated the droids .

-buy time for what? It was 5 troopers, one walker that could of been one shotted, and kallus who they could of shot in the back. Even if they thought they couldnt take em they could of saved at least a few disruptors.
-starkiller isnt canon, and ezra already is shown to be better than luke when he started

 

He's looking at 3PO, not R2.

And it's not like Ezra would pay attention to things like that anyway.

 

Unknown his eyes could of been turned towards r2. Isnt Ezra the perceptive street smart guy? plus chopper is next to him. Regardless they shouldnt have even let them stay activated, or out of their sight.

Also if the droids work working for Organa, who didnt want the disruptors to fall into imperial hands, why did c3po then jeopardize the mission by calling for imperial reinforments? He could of killed the crew!
