Full Series Star Wars Rebels - 1.03 - Droids in Distress - Discussion Thread

I don;'t think the Rebels would be that concerned with him. It's not like they're into high security stuff. There delivering strong weapons capable of destroying people yes. But it's not like R2 cares. Don't forget 3PO was the one who called Kallus. Because he thought they had been kidnapped. Maybe the Rebels should have told him they were taking him back to his Master instead.

Just because he has street smart experience, doesn't mean Ezra picks up on everything. You trust your feelings more then anything else.

 

The droids were working for Organa, who didnt want the disruptors to fall into imperial hands, why did c3po then jeopardize the mission by calling for imperial reinforments? He could of killed the crew!

 

But he didn't. Do you really think they would be killed this early on? And let's be honest, I don't think the ghost Crew thought he was that smart. He was just some translator droid to them until he told Kallus what was happening.

In the end though, no disruptors fell into their hands. Vizago took some, but do you really think he likes Imperials based on his reaction to them as he was leaving?

 

I guess we agree to disagree, this episode felt like it was looking for an excuse to have an action scene at the end

 

I guess so.

Plus they only have so much time for an episode. The fight between Agent Kallus and Zeb was good though. Kallus almost won.

 

Kallus did win. He didn't get the chance to apply the coup de grâce because of Ezra, but Ezra's actions are separate from the duel. The actual duel, as defined by combat between just Zeb and Kallus, was won by Kallus.

 

Yep. That's what I meant.

I just didn't feel like adding the Ezra part. But he really did save Zeb's life. Plus the whole mocking thing by Kallus was done really well too. Zeb must have been feeling horrible.

 

Just watched the episode, not bad at all. I liked the Kallus vs Zeb fight a lot. Still want more the Stormtroopers to hit a few things maybe every once and a while.

 

If George didn't care about canon then I don't neither. I say it's ALL good. If it has a Star Wars label on the front of it, it's relevant, no matter what. You don't just "canonize" something that already exists if it has a Star Wars logo on the front. If it does, then it's already a part of the GFFA. Some writer was tasked to create something, and deliberately ignoring it without cause is disrespectful, and I refuse to stoop to that level and start nitpicking. The way I see it, if a NEW writer can't create something without contradicting something that already exists, then they're not cut out to write for Star Wars, and should let someone just a little bit more competent do the job.

But yeah, that was pretty stupid, having watched it again. They completely let a pair of Imperial droids have the run of the ship. They should have at least locked them in a closet or something if they weren't even going to bother shutting them down. It's one thing if R2 pulls a fast one on you, but having 3PO do it is just straight up embarrassing.

Then again, my biggest complaint about this episode is the stormtroopers NOT managing to gun down 3PO. I mean COME ON, it's not like he couldn't be repaired. I could probably fling my own poo like a monkey with more accuracy. Seriously, they need to just straight up shoot somebody square in the face for once. Not to be dark or edgy or violent, just to show them doing their job and doing it right for once.
