Let's just hope it can go past Season 2.

Someone's autocorrect doesn't like him.

I could use some assistance. I'm hearing people mentioning an Episode 2. What I saw ended with the Inquisitor being contacted. is there more I haven't seen?

I could use a bone thrown my way if so. Like Steven Tyler, I don't want to miss a thaaayyaaang.

Did I like it? No, but I don't think anyone here really expected me to lol.

Was waiting for Monday to see it, then realized if someone has seen it then it is on the interwebs somewhere. Just watched it. I'm just as excited after watching as before. Really liking it so far. Character setup takes time and episode 2 should go smoother without all of the hangups of introductions. Wookies looked like crap, but I'd rather the stories get told then have lifelike hair on characters. The Rebels ship is a little boxy looking to me. I like the Imperial ship with the Ties docked on it. I missed what they called the ship, but I want one.

Go to the Dis XD site and find the Rebels page, there is a 20+ min episode.. Droids Dilemma, or something like that...

Yes. The first 5 episodes are called:

1. Spark of the Rebellion (Part I)
2. Spark of the Rebellion (Part II)
3. Droids in Distress
4. Fighter Flight
5. Rise of the Old Masters

Thanks for the clarification.

I think I missed part 2.. hmmm gonna go back and see whats what.

*sigh*

I can't do anything with that information. Their site requires things I just don't have.

Thank you Samsung. It could have been much worse! Lol

Haha no kidding, my friends are always asking why I say 'ducking' so much... lol

It was really good, much better than I was expecting!

Agent Kallus is probably my favorite character so far. And that Wilhelm scream brought on a bout of nostalgia!

Hey, I liked it.

The art style was awesome. It reminded me of Ralph McQuarrie's brilliant work in many ways, not just with the design of the ships but with the choices in color and scene settings. This was a conscious decision by the director, and for me it worked wonderfully.

There were a few pacing issues, I found. Action scenes tended to have weird pacing and editing, and I needed more of Ezra's background so I could get a better feel for his character and care more about him.

Overall, while it wasn't perfect, I'm definitely going to follow the series. It'll be a fun diversion.

I forgot to mention, there were no characters I disliked. That's a rarity.

I enjoyed it greatly and so did my son. It reminds me a lot of the OT. a bit light hearted a bit hopeful, a bit cheesy, and very heroic.

Liked:

Ghost, that Hind looking wookiee ship, the big tough guy and the pilot, and the moment of "I'm in space!" And "I'm gonna die!". Nice touch.

Disliked: the tie fighters. WHY MAKE THEM SO STUBBY!?! THEY DONT DESERVE IT! I can deal with the star destroyer cause we don't see it as much. Making the villains act like dicks also disappointed me. Was hopeing we get an avatar treatment, where we come to like, or at least understand and can relate to, the villain. Except change it by killing him off or something instead of having him join the group.

BTW, this is now on iTunes for anyone who *hasn't* seen it, yet. $8 to buy it in HD, but, honestly, that's lunch money and it's worth it to see in HD for that.

Is it 'Clone Wars'? No - it lacks the 'shadows in the corners' of that series (the underlying darkness of Anakin's continual conflicts with the 'Jedi way of doing things', not to mention entirely manufactured war and downright evil that advances it), and comes off as a more simplified "good vs evil". But that's really a lot more what the OT was vs the prequels - the prequel series had those sort of 'shadow forces' at play throughout...there was never really any good guys or bad guys IN the prequels. (I mean, really, who could you argue was "good"? The manufactured 'Separatist' cause? The moribund Galactic Republic? The fossilized Jedi council who couldn't see a Sith Lord they sat in the same room with and blindly followed the government into war??) Whereas the OT played it much more straight - the Rebellion was Good, the Empire was Evil, done! And that's what this series does.

And honestly, from the tone of the series, to the setting, the way the characters (named and NPCs) acted...heck, from the TYPE of characters present (Imperial Security Bureau? Imperial Inquisitors??), it pretty much felt like a page straight out of West End Games's Star Wars RPG!

Is it 'Clone Wars'? No - it lacks the 'shadows in the corners' of that series

Yeah, but how much of that was visible in the first 2 episodes of Clone Wars either? I have no doubt that as this series progresses we will see Imperials who are sympathetic and question the orders they receive, rebels who are no better than thugs and criminals and situations where the heroes are forced to make morally difficult choices.

Also, hopefully, they will stop using the energy slingshot, which is WAAAY worse for me than the artistic style used for the Star Destroyers and TIE Fighters.

I loved it. I loved it in a different way from how I loved the Clone Wars. I feel they did find the soul of the original trilogy in how they told the story. No matter how we may hold up episodes IV-VI, they are layered in delicious cheese and oft flubbed lines that are comical to behold time and time again.

But I still love it. And I think they accomplished what they set out to do with the cartoon; remind us how simple the original story was in A New Hope. A group of strangers who bump into each other in the desert, assault a ball of death in space, hug in a trash compactor, then save the galaxy using the Force to fire some glowing pin balls down a poorly placed space gutter.

It was a wonderful experience to hear those familiar Star Wars sounds blaring from my TV's speakers, to hear the legendary score accompany the action on screen, and to watch Stormtroopers biff it over and over and over again.

How exactly did the Emperor rule the galaxy with a sparking iron fist with the most clueless armor clad minions of all time anyways? Apparently the clones did the heavy lifting for the goons who got hired after wards.

To Forgotten above me ^, at first I thought the slingshot was dumb. But you know what? It has some serious kick. I got over it, perhaps you will too? I imagine if we see a season 3 out of this Ezra will be wielding a blaster by then at the latest, he will be getting older as the show progresses, much as Ashoka did.

using the Force to fire some glowing pin balls down a poorly placed space gutter.

Oh, please. It was a space chimney.

I did love the way Ahsoka grew and developed over the course of Clone Wars, and the end of her arc really surprised me. I wonder if Rebels will...follow up on that.

Same people, I would assume they would be able to accomplish it. I like the entire cast to be honest, they all seem to have potential for character development that is at the very least interesting, if not deep. For an animated children's show anyways. Three cheers to more Star Wars my friend, may we all enjoy it and revisit our childhood's in the best possible way.

Eh...I dunno. Clone Wars was on Cartoon Network (home of, among other things, the entire Adult Swim lineup) - it could play 'for kids' at times, but the network also never had any hesitation in not pulling the punches when needed.

THIS series...is on Disney. I really, really doubt they'll "go there" into moral ambiguity. It's just not what Disney does.

And, honestly, that's okay with me. It was the prequel series that really introduced all those shades of grey - that was never in the original movies in any way. So it made sense that the Clone Wars series would echo that. But this is more of an OT series, so...that it FEELS more like an echo of the black-and-white nature of the OT...works.

(And, FWIW, even in the very pilot episode of Clone Wars, it was established that Anakin would go off on his own while Obi-Wan was left to 'tend the line'. And that was why Ahsoka "would never have made it as Obi-Wans Padawan, but you just might make it as mine". No hint of that, here - Good Guys are Good! "If all you do is fight for your own life, then your life is worth nothing". I just can't see Anakin ever saying that... Not to mention, even the pilot episode of Clone Wars reiterated plainly that the leader of the Republic was also in league with the Separatists to manufacture the war - again, nothing remotely like that sort of hidden agenda, here.)

I rather hope by season 3, Ezra has constructed his own lightsaber.

I know, I know, "Jedi are extinct", yaddayadda. But, c'mon, EVERY SINGLE video game set during the 'Rebellion Era' had the good sense to know the fans wanted to play a 'force sensitive' character, and anything remotely first- or third- person had you wielding a light saber by the end, because it's Just So Dang Iconic.

(But maybe they'll wait a bit more - after all, the series is set 5 years before the Battle of Yavin. I can't imagine that's a coincidence - that gives us 5 seasons before the show would naturally "end" by the heroes finally joining up with the proper Rebellion that they were a part of inspiring. So...season 5, then?)

You ever watch disney's gargoyles? Possibly the best animated show ever, with loads of tough decisions and ambiguity and mature themes but still aimed at kids and still Disney. Oh, and Greg Wiseman, the guy who created it, is one of the producers for rebels. I have high hopes.

Well I just got to see the movie, they were selling it at Walmart, it comes with a cardboard model kit of the ghost. I thought it was good but the story felt odd to me. I felt it came down to "hey lets have a fight and then leave to another planet and fight there as well." It felt like it was missing something.

I havent seen the show BUT I didnt see many stupid actions on the Empires part. I saw some good IMP skill feats, like a TIE Pilot bullseyeing a moving speeder bike with its 2nd shot, and it wasnt rapid firing. The specialty Troopers seemed pretty good as well, IM hoping they were Imperial NAVY Commands in this film the ones on bikes look likem.
