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

Well, the Rebellion was not based at the planet and Thrawn really couldn't have ENDED the Rebellion, there. However, it was a victory which decimated the Rebel Alliance's standing military.

 

Dear, oh dear. I just posted one innocent comment, no cynicism or anything, and we end up in an argument about my narrative? ;-)

What about the two brave crewers who stayed with Sato? Great show of loyalty, and in fact Sato's and their sacrifice made the escape of their friends possible.

Be that as it may, it was Thrawn attacking them in Zero Hour, not the Rebels going off on an assault (as implied in the mini trailer), which is what I was referring to.

Hey now, it was said in jest

A binary statement that no Rebels leaders died, when the commander of Phoenix Squadron’s death was the reason the Rebels were able to escape just doesn’t compute.

It seems like you are putting way more importance on the 6 mains surviving. Just because our window characters made it through the battle, doesn’t mean that the losses weren’t brutal. It was a pretty harsh drubbing of the Rebels.

I remember the new retcon that the Fetts (Jango and Boba) aren't Mandalorians in the new canon. The Fetts struck me as the practical sort. They'd change their armor in the face of the 'Duchess' superweapon rather than keep using it for silly cultural reasons. No wonder they left the Mandalorians...

 

My headcanon about Jango Fett is that he was once a Mandalorian who rejected his heritage after Concord Dawn was ravaged and his family was killed (likely he was a Protector like Fenn Rau) by Death Watch and the New Mandalorian government didn't do anything to stop it or deal with Death Watch (like Almec, they likely turned a blind eye to these things happening beyond the Mandalore system). He then became a bounty hunter and the Sundari government rejected calling Fett a Mandalorian afterwards. Notice how quick Almec was to respond with his denials that were pretty unbelievable to begin with.

 

Yeah, denying Jango was a Mandalorian was Blatant Lies from the beginning.

 

Well, I mean, the reason it remains such an issue is that while the viewer (and Obi-Wan) has no real reason to believe Almec, official statements keep rather senselessly supporting his claim.

 

Mind you, they're also denying the Death Watch exists too.

But yes, I presume they'll eventually tie Fett back in.

 

In Legends, I think a point was made of Boba Fett's Mandalorian friends teasing him for using durasteel armour instead of beskar. So, The Duchess would never be a problem for him in the first place.

"There may some other villains more arch than him, hiding somewhere … we'll have to wait and see," he says, with a little of that signature teasing he's known for.

 

Regarding the Loth-wolf from Rebels trailers, and the ice wolf from The Last Jedi trailers:

Rebels Loth-wolf

TLJ "ice wolf"

Spoiler

do you think there will be some sort of connection?

 

I dont think so.
Crystal foxes are common native creatures of Crait imho, while the Loth-wolves are more rare and have some special connection to the Force.

 

Spoiler

Vader ? Tarkin ? Inquisitors ?

 

True - on googling, it does appear that it's intended to be crystal rather than ice.

 

Metal...Gear?

 

New broadcast schedule.

Star Wars‏@starwars
NEW #StarWarsRebels episodes will premiere Mondays at 9pm ET/PT on @DisneyXD and 12:01am ET on DisneyNOW beginning 10/23!

Per Lucasfilm, the viewing schedule for the apps, video-on-demand, iTunes, etc remains unchanged.

 

At the moment, the newcanon only confirms that Jango claims to be from Concord Dawn. Still, I like the idea of not invalidating his claims. Maybe Fenn Rau will even get confirmed as knowing Jango, in the future?

 

I view Jango and Boba Fett as Mandalorians because the Mandalorians are literally the people created from them.

It's like suddenly saying Greedo isn't a Rodian.

Or Ventress isn't a Rattaka...oh wait.

 

That coward deserved exactly what he got. Deserting in the middle of combat like that. What an utter disgrace. I'll bet his wife changed their family's name out of shame or something.

 

The weirdest part of the whole Rattataki/Dathomirian business is that the canon Rattataki are now the Siniteen.

 

Yeah, I'll give you that. Most of TCW's retcons didn't bother me, but that one was...uh, odd.
