STAR WARS: REBELS Discussion Thread!

By KCDodger, in X-Wing

The image in my head right now is hilarious...

Note, if in battlefront and i kill a rebel as a dark trooper. I must yell "YOUR PRINCESS IS IN ANOTHER CASTLE, 817CH!!!" before exploding said rebel.

I would hope they don't break the stealing of the Death Star plans into 20 different parts, like it already is in Legends.

IMO it makes much more sense for the rebels to get the plans in pieces and combine them to get the whole then to just get the complete set in one stop. I can think of a very few places where it would make sense for the complete plans to be kept and all of them are locations where the odds of a rebel getting in are worse then the odds of hitting the exhaust port much less getting in, obtaining the plans, and getting them out somehow.

I like the Dark forces games as much as the next guy, but trying to make doomguy work seriously in star wars just does not work.

Or it was written so that Skyhook had different parts...

I mean, the movie could be ALL about Skyhook for all we know. I'm just saying, it's not going to be in Rebels if they're doing a separate movie about it.

Although you could easily see characters from Rogue One show up in Rebels.

Actually you totally can.

The only reason you couldn't would be if skyhook only had one moving part. (established false and having many parts in legends canon).

For all you know, the team in Rogue One are doing one bit, Kyle Katarn of iff doing another bit, and Kanan, Ezra, Zeb, Sabine (or whoever has survived till that point) are getting a third bit of death star plan goodness somewhere else.

Open your mind man! Infinite possibilities exist!

Sounds like an awesome movie. When everyone is wondering "that's not enough to destroy the Death Star?" At the end, In the credits it can say "now, go watch this cartoon for the rest of the story"

I'm not sure why you could only do "1 part" in a heist movie. The Ocean's movies effectively did heists with multiple moving parts satisfactorily.

And legends establishes nothing. It's like saying Spider-man establishes real super villains hang out mostly in NYC

I suppose, still, Katarn gotta do something cool!

Even if it's not the plans, but the location of the plans.

**** it, it could even be this talking mushroom dude telling him that he's sorry Katarn, but the plans are in another fortress.

That's what the Darktroopers are for...

I'm imaging goombas as stormtrooper helmets with feet now.

Scenario:

The complete plans for the Death Star, including everything from prototypes to the old Ultimate Weapon, are kept in an ultra secure location that takes an incredible amount of spy work to even discover its existance, much less the location and any possible way to break through the defences. Then the discovery that the plans actually being moved to an even more secure place. Now is the time to act, and the nondescript imperial convoy (to avoid suspicion) is surely attacked by a massive Rebel force, leading to the first real victory.

That's what the Darktroopers are for...

Man, Darktroopers....I hope they make it to canon. I love those things. Especially since they're now basically just GOOD battle droids.

Riiight, because if there's one thing that just doesn't fit into Star Wars, it's soldiers...

Star Wars has swordsmen, droids with guns, fat slug gangsters, bartenders, princesses, droids that are dicks on purpose, and large hairy bear men.

Soldiers? You're going to have to bizarre that up, my friend. That's boring. Let me Lucas it for you.

Let's take those boring cloth uniforms and turn them into bright white plate armor. Then, we'll hide their grizzled mugs behind masks, give them WWII heavy machine-guns aaaaaaaaand there you go.

Wait... needs something......

Teutonic helmets, pelisses, darker colors..... aaaaaand some jet packs. Rub some dirt on 'em.

Oh and they drop out of chairs that THEMSELVES drop on a rack out the bottom of a dropship.

Also their leader has a ******* cool-ass BLACK lightsaber.

Lucasization complete.

("soldiers" Pfffft.)

Yes, and Katarn is one of those Lucasized soldiers you just described. He's a former Stormtrooper.

Wilhelm saying Katarn doesn't work in Star Wars is like saying Clone Troopers don't work in Star Wars...

Speaking of Clone Troopers and Rebels, I have a question...

Since the only Clone Troopers we're seeing on Rebels are ones that had their chips removed, did Order 66 actually KILL all the Clone Troopers afterwards? I always just assumed that the Empire slowly phased out the Clones after the war, just not making more, and replacing their casualties with normally trained Stormtroopers.

I ask because, even though Tup's chip malfunctioned and executed Order 66 early, it also made him sick and eventually die afterwards. Now that could just be because the chip malfunctioned, but was that maybe actually what they were intended to do? After Order 66, the chips would just kill off all the clones?

Please don't kill me for asking. When does season 2 pop back on the air? I saw the special but have been unsuccessful in finding an answer to this.

No time soon probably, as there isn't even a date set for it yet.

I honestly don't know. Sometime. Not even sure it'll be this year.

I think the first reply being along the lines of "We don't know." was a bigger relief than someone shooting back with the exact day and me feeling dumb for not knowing how to use google properly.

Totally understand. I've actually been pretty antsy about it- absolutely dying to know when it'll come out.

Friggin' love this show and everything it does.

Sounding to be October. They are having a preview at NYCC on the Oct. 8.

I was making a joke about how redonkulously high on the power scale Kyle was in the first game.

He more or less matches doomguy

Well, sure. But that's true of any Star Wars video game protagonist.

When an Ace is someone with 5 kills, I'm pretty sure that, realistically, Maarek Stele doesn't actually have thousands and thousands of kills and entire fleets decimated on his record.

Depends on the faction/country he's flying for. Erich "Bubi" Hartmann was an ace with over 350 confirmed kills, for example.

In Germany pilots flew until they were killed, caught or the war was over...

Looks like people will be getting their Mando fix. With plenty of new designs. Loving that Interdictor. Oh, and spinning cockpit on B-wing.

EDIT: New official trailer is up.
