The Wedge shape is given to a ship to maximize forward firepower and visibility when dealing with multiple gun platforms on a large capital ship. It's such a powerful configuration that some Corellian parents name their kids after this engineering technique in hopes that the power associated with the form will aid their child in their chose profession, which on Corellia is almost always pilot.

For some reason.

I'm starting to wonder if Corellians ever do anything else. Ever.

I'm pretty excited to see a fleet starting to form up. Hopefully, it isn't Phoenix Squadron.

It's not a planet of hats. It's a planet of glorified taxi-drivers...!

Hi guys.

I've watched a gif a few weeks backs were Chopper was doing some sabotage on an enemy ship in space.

I've just finished to watch the first part of season 2, and didn't see that episode.

Did i miss one, or this gif came from a preview clip for the next part of season 2 ?

I think your talking about the episode with with Sabine and the female Inquisitor, Blood Sisters. 7th episode of the season.

If I recall correctly, that episode had a scene with Chop outside that was teased in the season 2 trailer.

Thanks, that's it !

I think Siege of Lothal confuses people about the numbering of the season. Sometimes it's consider like episode 1 and sometimes not so the "episode 7 " I have found was the one where Kanan and Rex are rescuing Ezra from that gravity wheels star destroyer.

I think Siege of Lothal confuses people about the numbering of the season.

The thing is that the first two-parter of each season is not technically considered part of that season. Spark of Rebellion is NOT episode 1 of Season 1, and Siege of Lothal is NOT Episode 1 of Season 2.

If the people *cough* posting episodes in...um, places...aren't aware of that, it can cause confusion.

I ended up missing Idiot's Array in Season 1 for the same reason.

And yet, on the DVD for series 1, Spark of Rebellion parts 1 and 2 are listed as episodes 1 and 2... so I ended up buying SoR twice. Still, the full series version had an awesome 'extra' scene at the start with Vader dispatching the Inquisitor to Lothal, so it wasn't a complete loss.

This series in the UK, Sky seem to have the episode numbers all over the place. Sometimes they're counting SoL as the first two episodes, sometimes they aren't, sometimes they're continuing the numbering from the end of series 1.

Still, it's back next Saturday at the usual time, series record is set, so it's all good!

Kind of remind me the seventh season of Doctor Who, with a Christmas special right into the middle of the season.

Just finished to see the episode, it's cool. The Black Sun is now canon, i like that. (if TCW didn't already did it).

I can't find an official numbering on StarWars.com

IMDB lists both Spark and Siege as the first episode of their respective seasons, wookiepedia does not

I distinctly remember in the ramp up for Siege it being advertised as the "Season 2 Premiere", but then there was a multi-month long gap between it and the rest of the season.

absent a conclusive statement from LFL about numbering, I don't think it can be stated with certainty one way or the other.

Why are so many eyes covered in this cartoon? Is it very expensive to animate eyes?

I'm pretty excited to see a fleet starting to form up.

I mean, they already HAD a fleet. And they've been steadily losing it over the course of this season.

Do you mean Phoenix Fleet? If so, wasn't that just a cell, rather than the entire fleet?

Could be I am missing the reference and if so, please feel free to correct me. I'm usually playing X-Wing while watching Rebels and have missed a few key details that I only caught on repeat viewings.

They actually are, as they do take up budget for episodes. It just gets weird, especially with Season 1 with the online shorts taking up one episode.

I think the point he is making is that the empire is meant to be this huge, monolithic, oppressive force that crushes freedom and individuality (just like in the movies) and so the vast majority of its servants are meant to be faceless carbon copies, with only the notable villains as individuals.

For the heroes, I've actually noticed that the show puts forth an effort to distinguish them, even when it shouldn't. Not in the new trailer, Kanan removes his helmet when Leia shows up, even though it makes no sense for him to do so in that circumstance.

yeah. at the start of season 2 they had 4 Cr-90's and a Pelta class Frigate, as well as about 8 A-wings. given the events of the last Season 1 episode, you could probably add to that 1 Gozanti, a TIE fighter, and a TIE Adv. Prototype. maybe a couple of those star-tours shuttles. this does not include the Ghost and it's fighter.

over the course of the first half of the season they lose 2 of the CR-90's the Pelta class, and all but 3-4 A-wing. the Gozanti and TIE's don't reappear again.

the last episode of season 2 prior to the break showed they'd gained a few unarmed transports, and they gained the Bladewing prototype a bit before that, but they lost most of their transports, several oftheir A-wings, and almost lost their CR90's. they are really hurting.

the rest of Season 2 looks like they'll be gaining a few new ships (the hammerhead transports, and it looks like some extra Awings), and by sometime in season 3 they'll have that Quasarfire freighter/carrier as a new HQ ship.

to be fair, a good chunk of the reason they're loosing ships is they lacked military grade shield generators. the siege of lothal film opened with them trying to steals some, and oen of the reasons the crew of the Ghost almost got caught by Vader was they found some military grade generators near the shuttle they were stealing and that slowed down their loading.

The actual reason is they can copy/paste character models if their faces are obscured. Saves time and money in production. The budget on this show isn't nearly as big as TCW was.

Well the previews show the rebellion sendings reinforcements (i assume) to pheonix group. It may be more that just the ships shown in the clip

Edit: Searching through all those clips meant I posted before I read RogueLieutenant's reply. Hereby noted.

Mooks don't get to show their eyes, not even good mooks.

Yeah, Vader's cape really eats into their budget. Which is also why no cloaks were used in the early seasons of TCW.

the Gozanti and TIE's don't reappear again.

I wouldn't really count the Gozanti and TIEs as part of the fleet that the Phoenix cell has. Star Wars, in defiance of all logic concerning insurgencies, seems to ignore the idea that a rebellion would primarily use material stolen from the group its rebelling against and instead insists that the two sides be visually distinct. So even though it makes total sense that the rebellion would be lousy with TIEs and Gozantis and stormtrooper armor for their soldiers and primarily use stolen tech, instead you get each side using radically different equipment (except for the occasional, one-off infiltration story. Which means that there was never any chance that the phoenix cell would actually USE their stolen ships on any sort of regular basis.

At least in the shows and movies. In canon there are a number of ship designs widely used by both sides and in Legends even more
