Full Series Star Wars Rebels Season 3 Discussion (Spoilers Allowed)

Hooray- my wedding fanfiction can go on as planned. Hope y'all like Tchaikovsky and Elfman.

 

I don't think so! It would fit pretty well but I don't think he said that.

 

Didn't we see it in Through Imperial Eyes? Or at least an approximation of it? We certainly saw the two lizards on the wall in that episode:

Spoiler

 

Well, Legends Thrawn did go after Talon Karrde with a vengeance, even after the Empire got the Katanna Fleet. Otherwise, there wouldn't be any need to use Niles Ferrier in the plot to implicate Karrde in that failed Imperial ambush.

 

Probably a shot from that episode with slightly tweaked lighting.

 

Wasn't that more a case of "Thrawn wanted to leave Karrde alone until he could be dealt with properly - but Ferrier forced his hand"?

Thrawn didn't show much interest in personally thwarting Karrde - he just put a bounty on Karrde's head. Ferrier was the one that organised the failed ambush - so Thrawn made it clear that Ferrier would have to pay for getting his troops killed, by serving him.

 

That's possible.

 

Which is not to say Thrawn can't have his pride wounded, and become a little vengeful- just that he won't end up driven by wounded pride and obsessed with vengeance, like, for example, Maul.

 

You're right. I just read TTT comics, and that's the way things went.

 

They were main characters in the stories they appeared in, same as the Ghost crew.

 

It's the same room but a complete differente scene. With his view from behind and the pictures. There wasn't something like that in this episode.

 

Er, it's been a Star Wars power for while now.

I went into this episode fully expecting Kallus to be executed. I was pleasantly surprised to see him not, only because I enjoy the character, but that's partly what makes him an interesting character. He's close enough to the main cast to be an often recurring character, making him allowed to be fleshed out as a person, but he's not a main character, so his fate is always up in the air. It's that kind of unpredictability that makes characters interesting. You'll never know what will happen to them.

Also...
R2-D2 was almost destroyed in ANH
Luke was brutally beaten in ESB and then dismembered
Han was frozen in carbonite, and then his fate was left up in the air, with rumors that the character may end up killed off all together
Leia was shot in RotJ (though this was left a loose end for some reason)
C-3PO was dismembered numerous times
The main cast (and I mean top billed main cast - not just secondaries) suffered a lot more than the Ghost crew could even have imagined.

I also suppose that in TCW it could be argued that Ahsoka was the primary protagonist of those stories, too, like Luke and Anakin were of the OT and PT. If you ask me, TCW was Ahsoka's story. It started with her, and the series ended with her. And in those stories, Ahsoka came away inches from death numerous times, was lost or kidnapped at least three times (and that's just off the top of my head) and legitimately died before being saved by The Daughter. She was a character whose fate was always questionable, especially since she wasn't in RotS. Nobody knew what would happen to her, making her close calls always the more emotional because you never knew if "this time" was going to be the reason she wasn't in RotS.

 

Major players in the clone wars did not until season 5-6.

 

Ahsoka nearly died from the Blue Shadow Virus (was enough to the point of her fainting from it - the audience was very clearly meant to believe she was in mortal danger) in Season 2, and then legitimately died in the Mortis Arc in Season 3 prior to being resurrected. She was, arguably, the primary protagonist of the series too.

 

Still she didn't die forever did she? Main players that died were Pre Vizsla, Satine, Savage, Fives. Ventures also died, but that doesn't count because it was cancelled before the show could get to that point.

 

I didn't realize permanence was part of the conversation. She died, that's the point. In SW it's very hard to permanently kill off a character. Obi-Wan died, but that wasn't the permanent end of his character. Nor was it for Yoda, or Qui-Gon or even Anakin.

 

Still it was never a part of the conversation when they planned that to kill her forever so it's really just like a nap. Especially because all of that might have been a vision.

 

Even if she didn't permanently die, there's still the fact that it's hard for SW characters to permanently die, especially in cases of Jedi where they've had the training to become one with the Force and keep their consciousness living forever. By that end, it would mean that Obi-Wan, Yoda, and Anakin never truly died.

 

Ziro was a main player in the premiere - and continued to play a role, before dying. 4 episodes in 3 seasons isn't bad.

 

Forgot about him

 

I am starting to get the feel that people are suffering from Game of Thrones or Walking dead death lust, where they expect major character to die all the time...
We are in the middle of the show, characters dont have to die all the time!

 

The crew is roughly a year or two away from RO/ANH. I would say it's closer to its end than it is to its middle.

Besides, SW has always been rather cut-throat. Game of Thrones has nothing to do with it.

R2-D2 was almost permanently destroyed in ANH
Luke was brutally beaten in ESB and then dismembered
In ESB, Han was frozen in carbonite, and then his fate was left up in the air, with rumors that the character may end up killed off all together
Leia was shot in RotJ (though this was left a loose end for some reason)
C-3PO was dismembered numerous times
The main cast (and I mean top billed main cast - not just secondaries) suffered a lot more than the Ghost crew could even imagine suffering

Not to mention in TCW Ahsoka (who, arguably, was the main protagonist) came away inches from death numerous times, was lost or kidnapped at least three times (and that's just off the top of my head) and legitimately died before being saved by The Daughter. She was a character whose fate was always questionable, especially since she wasn't in RotS. Nobody knew what would happen to her, making her close calls always the more emotional because you never knew if "this time" was going to be the reason she wasn't in RotS. SW has always been a matter of life or death, that if we don't hit the target at this exact moment in this exact way, that hope and freedom will die forever.

 

You are acting like as if the ghost crew did not suffer any injuries or trauma.

 

It's mainly only Kanan and Ezra though

 

Cartoon specific characters normally go before legacy characters, and villains often before heroes. TCW was criticized often for creating new characters to just kill them off , or kill them off after a few or maybe a handful of appearances. Each Stars Wars movie killed off characters, some very important ones, Rogue One was certainly no exception.
