STAR WARS: REBELS Discussion Thread!

..Yes. Azazel should take them.

Touché. :lol:

There's a little light switch like icon on the top left that lets you turn it off.

You sir, are a saint.

It's not a well documented feature to be sure. But the advanced editor is such a pain to use... I sometimes forget not everyone knows to turn it off. :)

We already know it is implied that the best student of each Trooper Training Class disappears. Maybe this is hinting at the way inquestors are recruited now. If that is the case there may be a bunch of Dark Inquistor and Wannabes now.

That could be, being at the top of the class may very well require that the person is Force sensitive, and so it's a way of finding potential new inquisitors.

I kinda think that's part of the reason they have those spinning sabers. Because they don't get the same level of lightsaber training a Jedi or Sith would, so they have to make up for that lack of skill with mechanics.

I always figured the spinning sabers were to sell all the sitting inventory from Episode III

I love Rebels but call my cynical on that one -

LOL probably. Star Wars has always been about MERCHANDISING

I actually love the spinning saber. I like how Rebels is doing different things with lightsabers in general; Kanan's has a disguised mode, Ezra's doubles as a stun blaster, and the Inquisitors have their freaky spin sabers.

Still waiting on sabre-bayonet on an E-11/DC15.

The spinning sabre is also an intimidation tool. The inquisitorius would be combating non-force users, jedi in hiding - who maybe haven't used their weapons in years, or untrained padawans.

Considering what a lightsaber can do, spinning around at that speed would be lethal to all but the most trained and talented force users.

The Saber was explicitly a recycled asset that was never used for the force unleashed.

Would a vibroblade work?

Yes, but not as well.

I'm guessing it was a recycled concept and not a recycled asset, since I doubt the show's creators had access to the assets for a Lucasarts game.

Omniblade!!! Which is at least the 2nd coolest weapon in sci-fi, maybe the first.

I hate the spinning Lightsabres all the Inquisitors are using. It suck, and I will continue on why, but its very irritating that every one of the Inquisitors so far have been give the mechanical spinning sabres.

I hate them because they rely to much on the mechanical spinning gimmick. Unless the hilt is made out of something special some one could just shoot the part spinning in the middle, the hilt, and that would destroy the sabres. Also if the sabre blade hits something that can't be cut by the blade, in theory the machine will then spin that handle held part real fast breaking the persons wrist holding the thing.

That is basically what happens in the final battle between Kanan and the Grand Inquisitor.

And the Inquisitors clearly don't break their wrists every time they clash lightsabers, so it seems like the spinning mechanism stops when it encounters too much resistance.

Double-sided lightsabers don't make sense from a practical perspective, but that has more to do with limiting the wielder's range of motion than any sort of spinning. And no one cares anyway because they look cool.

Yes, messily, a chainaxe is too neat for Jar Jar.

Seventh sister and 5th Brother....

One is probably gonna kill the other, because cartoon evil is stupid. They'll corner the rebels, and one will want the reward and prestigue. Just you watch.

I think that Ahsoka or Kanan will kill one of them. Probably Fifth Brother.

And then Seventh Sister's good humor will be ruined and she will become more powerful than you can possibly-... well, probably on par with The Inquisitor.

They are probably just designations...

Might be ranks or titles.

I do think that is where the Inquisitor's draw their recruits from though. And I fully expect that one cadet's missing sister to show up with the Inquisitors at some point.

Like Vanor said, I don't think it's the top students that disappear. It's the ones that appear to be Force sensitive(which of course end up being top students because the Force makes them better at everything).

We already know what happened to his sister, thanks to a handful of books that have been released. He mounted a successful rescue mission that took place just after The Inquisitor died. She's safe with her family and hiding on another planet. But yes, you're totally right that the Force sensitive students appear to be the ones plucked from their classes.

oh really? That's sort of, well, anticlimactic...gotta start reading the junior novels then. Thanks!

Rewatching season 1, I feel the biggest wasted potential on the show is Zeb. He's one of the last of his species, there's a lot of room for character development in that situation that was never taken outside of Droids in Distress. Plus, he has an obvious nemesis in Kallus.

The Kallus and Zeb conflict does get passing mentions from time to time in the show.

But you got to hold SOME cards to your chest for future plots.

I can see the crew of the ghost being told there's another Lasat out there and it being a trap by the empire but Zeb will be like nah, I saw them all die and it blows up in the empires face. It would be neat to have 1 thing go right for the rebels. Just 1

Honestly you could drop Zeb and nothing about the show would change for the worse.
