A/V STAR WARS REBELS (show's over, spoilers allowed)

I get my Rebels on Tuesday morning via Amazon. I will be having my Star Wars related Facebook and Twitter feeds muted as the episode approaches airtime. Really don't want to have anything spoiled through an insensitive photo share, comment, etc. Not having it early on Watch DX makes it much easier this go-around. Very glad they chose to do that for the finale. Avoiding spoilers for an episode already available to many for a week is much harder than one available for a few hours.

 

High-Res Version

 

Online is one thing, but I still think there's like a 50/50 shot it'll be on On Demand before the airing.

BTW, this post gave me a fun thought--given that Lando will likely show up again eventually, we could actually see the Battle of Tanaab in this show. Hera could even be the "someone" who tells the Alliance about his maneuver.

 

By the way, quite not okay with...

Spoiler

the #WhoWillFall campaign going on for the finale.

I'm all like:

 

If someone does die I'd just as soon not have been tipped off about it.

 

RIP Lothcat 06. #WhoWillFall

 

Fulcrum falls, of course.

 

Wonder if the mantle (literal and figurative) of 'Fulcrum' will be passed from one character to another through the course of this series. Dread Pirate Roberts style.

 

Was it just me or did any of you see, what appeared to be a body laying down, when Ezra and the Inquisitor are fighting in the trailer? I think Kanan might be the one to bite it, hence, the reason we might be getting his comic later this year. I hope not. Too soon.

 

Lying down =/= dead.

The previews have done a good job of showing just enough so far to make me excited, but not enough to spoil me. It makes me wonder just how they're going to cram everything into a single 22 minute episode.

 

And Kanan gets knocked out like every ten minutes, anyway.

 

I think that's great. Shows Force Sensitive doesn't equal invulnerable.

 

GrandAdmiralJello, this isn't a spoiler per se but I can say with 99.89% confidence, based on the episodes to date, that Tarkin still won't sound British (unless of course all it takes is rolled Rs) in the final episode.

Take that, fanatic antispoilerista!

 

I have no idea how you can be a RPGer and yet have such a sensitivity to "bad" British accents. The two practically go hand in hand. At least in the US, anyway. I wonder if gamers in other parts of the world do bad American accents when they roleplay?

 

Ah, see, but I'm outside the US!

 

Bad American accents, you say?

 

To be fair it's probably a less post-consuming exercise to find good imitations of foreign accents. It would mean that CW/Rebels Obi-wan and Tarkin wouldn't be included though...

 

Overlooked in this conversation: Britain doesn't actually matter.

 

As the Starwars films were filmed in England it does matter.

Can we also stop calling them British accents as Northern Irish/Welsh and Scottish accents don't get a look in. Hell there are varying degrees of English accent to boot. The show is just going for a posh version of English and fails so sounds awful.

 

GrandAdmiralJello Could Ars Dangor relay Sheev's orders to Vader?

 

Dislike x1000.

Ignore him, my friends across the pond. Our special relationship lives on... we can all just exclude Coop from it. Looking back, he is probably a terrorist anyways...

Didn't Denis Lawson use his own Perthshire accent in Return of the Jedi, after being dubbed over in ANH and faking an American accent in Empire?

Also, now I have this hilarious mental image of Rob Brydon playing an Imperial officer.
