Full Series Official Star Wars Rebels Discussion Thread (Spoilers Allowed)

I wouldn't necessarily call it objectifying her. It's the artist's own style. Tbh, I think if it wasn't for the makeup, she looks more realistic otherwise.

 

I don't understand what's more "realistic" about Barrientos' version. Plenty of women don't have massive breasts.

The problem I have with his "style" is that Hera doesn't at all fit that body type. He is clearly objectifying her by giving her a much more buxom look. His version, with large breasts and huge hips and thighs, certainly does't lend itself to an active fighter/ soldier, which Hera is supposed to be. It looks like he wants her to be ready to produce offspring, should the war die down and the opportunity arise. Seems like a pretty misogynistic interpretation to me.

 

How 'bout now?

I got the "risqué" fan art from Artstation. They actually hide "mature" art from younger viewers; but this one wasn't deemed "mature".

 

It is art. There are probably plenty of other details that the artist did not get 100% correct, but that is art for you. Having different styles is not bad, and that is in no way "objectifying". Geez people.

 

My take is that you can suggest that she's slightly more endowed than you'd normally think of Hera; but it's absurd to deem the artist as overly sexualizing the character. Relatively speaking, go do a Google search on Ahsoka Tano and make sure the mature filters are turned off. Then we can really talk about overly sexualizing a character.

 

Anyone else really miss this show? Here’s hoping they stream the Rebels remembered panel on YouTube. I’m also hoping for maybe some deleted scenes and stuff?

 

They probably stream the panel. At least I hope so.

 

huh, Thrawn sans eye liner.

 

How else would you expect him to pull off his sexy look?

 

Ha, you beat me to it, I was thinking - is that Thrawn looking like Mr. Brosnan?

I know what you mean. The passing of time is being kind to Rebels. I liked it at the time, but I have really grown to appreciate it now.

Lovely cover.

 

That is so honkin' cool.

 

Explain, please. I fail to understand how you can appreciate a show like Rebels considering it's as layered as a pancake.

 

You do know that people are allowed to like a show that - for whatever the reason - you don't like, right?

 

Completely. You do understand I'm allowed to ask someone why they like something

 

Fine. I started out not particularly liking the show, but I let it grow on me; especially with the strong, independent female character like Hera being the glue to keep the group together. It was more personal than TCW; the Ghost Crew had a new adventure together in just about every episode. And on top of everything else, it was interesting to see how the Rebellion against the Empire grew; complete with cameos from key players like Bail, Saw, and of course Leia.
