Full Series Star Wars Rebels Season 2 Discussion (Spoilers Allowed)

Late forties? Chronologically, Rex is 28. He's one year younger than Kanan, four years younger than Ahsoka. So yeah, he ages at twice the normal rate. That doesn't stop. Biologically, he's 56.

 

I thought rebels took place 5 BBY?

You mean 28 during TCW?

EDIT: I'm not counting the age acceleration, I'm going by he's "20" circa AOTC

 

I'm talking about the number of years that Rex has been alive. He's 10 in AOTC, 13 at the end of the war, and 28 in Rebels season 2 (4 BBY). His biological age is always double what it would naturally be. (I think his maximum natural lifespan would probably be around 60 years, assuming that people living past 100 is more common in the GFFA due to technology.)

 

Kablob okay gotcha. Lol I always forget to factor in that the clones were only ten but looked 20.

 

I would like to see how those Inquisitor Lightsabers come to be, and whether the crystals they use are....

1. Natural Crystals that give a red coloring which the Empire has collected for their darksiders.

Or

2. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Synthetic_lightsaber_crystal are returning to canon.

Though if they were synthetic, would the coloring of red be intentional (like it was in the old canon, since synthetics could be made into other colors as well)?

Or in the new canon, would they make the red color, a natural/inherent part of a synthetic crystal (perhaps all red wielders in the new canon don't have natural crystals)? I could actually see them doing that. Making the red coloring not just a tradition of darksiders/Sith but a coloring that is inherent part of a synthetic that can not be changed.

 

I hope synthetic crystals make a return. I really like the idea that they are formed with the force by the Jedi/Sith who makes them.

 

What are the odds that Ahsoka actually rides a wolf this season?, cause i would love that!.

 

Filoni will not rest until SOMEBODY rides a wolf.

 

Filoni needs to put a wolffe in everything he does its like his thing

So I seriously won't be surprised if that art becomes Canon.

 

I hope so, it is a nice piece of work. Also, as Rex/Ahsoka/Rexsoka fan more stuff with them is like gold. Season 2 of Rebels is looking great.

 

Tell me about it!

And hey, I get it: I love wolves, too. Lots and lots of people do.



But I was actually relieved when that picture was never made 'real.' I guess I've run out of patience with Filoni trying to force Ahsoka as "the coolest thing evah" down our throats.

I'm jaded. I'm self-aware enough to know it, but when it comes to this one topic, I've become jaded. Too many years of Filoni's transparent adoration of Tano, taken together with the insufferable "Ahsoka's the greatest thing since lightsaber-sliced bread" from a certain contingent of her fan base has made me that way. The effect has been to turn what was once a character I used to love into one I now view with a much more critical eye than I otherwise might have. And I kind of resent that.

There is actually such a thing a backlash, David. "Too much of a 'good' thing?"


"Wow, she rides a wolf?!?"

Of course she does.

 

It's been twenty years, and he's been all over the galaxy: I'm pretty sure someone's ridden Wolffe by now.

 

You mean She right?

 

Well said. All of it, really, but the bolded especially.

Re: the season one finale, the Ghost crew rescued one of their own and defeated their first major antagonist; but guess who got the spotlight? It wasn't Kanan. It wasn't Ezra. I just wish her inclusion had been saved for season two. Speaking of S2, will Rex be treated with such reverence/preference? Probably not, which is unfair, considering Rex was just as important a character as Skywalker's filthy, obnoxious lil' pet.

 

I was thinking the same thing. Although I think I'm aware of the motivation behind the play of words.

 

Also Rex (lets say for a second that i liked Rex and Ahsoka the same up until the season 2 trailer) I would already find Rex story to be much more interesting and would help the crew develop more then whatever Ahsoka's story will be IMO.

 

I agree, however I don't see Filoni's fixation on Ahsoka going away. I used to like her, but now its becoming hard to. Its like she's the new "boba fett" as far as fan obsession goes. (Another character I used to like but can hardly stand now.)

 

All indications point to Rex having quite a bit to do for the first half of the season, especially clashing with Kanan.

 

Indeed and I think we will get some really good story during it.

 

Well, according to Kinberg IIRC, not really clashing. Grunkle Rex had mellowed a bit, that's why Kanan won't outright attack and decapitate him with the lightsaber.

But indeed, there will be tension as Kanan's PTSD gets triggered repeatedly. Only through time will Kanan slowly heals his traumatized, victimized state. Which is both realistic and totally interesting, as we see his past gets peeled layer by layer.

In any case, we already see Kanan at least in a cooperative state with Rex when the former ordered the latter to take care of the TIEs in the trailer.

 

Why always the talk about PTSD? Does he suffer panic attacks? Do the events rob him of his sleep? Etc. PTSD is an actual illness, not just "feeling a bit sad about it".

 

Maybe clashing is too strong, but it seems like Kanan will not be happy and grudgingly come to acceptance. Either way it should be some good drama between the heroes, and I do hope they have it out with each other a little bit at least.

 

Oh yeah I agree! Will be mighty interesting... especially since we're about to see how traumatized Kanan was in Kanan #2 (out May 6, right?)

 

I'm glad we will see someone who distrusts the clones over what happened. So many potential here. I wonder if Sabine doesn't like them either.

 

I think its from deduction really

I mean would having all your friends and Family Killed and betrayed by people you have trusted for a long time

I think it is safe to assume he has PTSD.

@darklighter99 what do you mean? what would Sabine have to distrust the clones
