Whoppers are better than Big Macs, and anything wendys can do.

Better than Big Macs, sure. But I'll take a Baconator over a Whopper any day.

Anyone else seen the rumour going round that season 3's villian will be Thrawn?

Sorry if I missed people already talking about it

Anyone else seen the rumour going round that season 3's villian will be Thrawn?

Seen it - not here but over on Jedi Council Forums.

Can't see him as primary villain for a whole season - more like a one-off episode villain.

Well, my **** hadn't exploded. So I obviously hadn't.

I think he's a perfect foil for them. He's a character that predicts his enemies moves by studying their artwork. And one of our protagonists is a character that pants graffiti at the scene of all their terrorist attacks.

I would be OK with that. I don't think Disney will do it unfortunately but I really hope they do, he was cool.

According to Dave Filloni in the last Rebels Recon, Sabine's mom was in the throne room when Darth Maul defeated Pre Vizla. So its a pretty safe bet that BoKatan is her mom. Her dad...I think it's Pre Vizla and he got BoKatan pregnant right before his death. That puts Sabine at like 16 or 17 tops. Seems about right as she a bit older than Ezra who is 15. I think they changed her name to Wren to hide her identity from Deathwatch haters.

Bo-Katan is red-headed, Viszla, if I remember rightly, blond. I recall a big point made way back when Rebels first came out - was that Sabine was a "person of color".

Maybe they meant " person of color" in the sense that she loves color aka an artist. tone is what I'm going to believe, because I'm am so tired of the sad tendency of society to make everything a race issue. I find them even saying "person of color" racist and super annoying. Why can't we all describe people on their merits instead of their skin tone. I refuse to allow Star Wars to be tainted by racism of any kind.

Personally I never saw why diversity or lack thereof was a huge deal for Star Wars.

Notably because earth and it's history just flat out doesn't exist. Of course there's plenty of variety in humans, though the thing that gets me is when people request a very specific type of person, and I'm just like.

"But that's not a thing that exists in Star Wars."

+1 For seeing the blanket term for not-white, "PoC" as racist. It seriously is.

I'd like the hammerhead but tbh I'd rather have it for Armada, than have two Rebel epics.

I wouldn't mind is as the third Rebel epic, but not until after Scum gets their first two.

Agreed. Scum needs looooove. Nice and tender love.

Oh, dude.

Oh dude that is on point.

Except, how bad do you think people react when he is more like his original appearance than the god like omniptent that Zahn eventually started to write him as.

Traviss's Fandalorians were bad enough.

He can't really be God like in rebels. As "the bad guy" in a show aimed at kids they aren't allowed to win for long. Almost feel sorry for the empire....almost

I mean, I don't really know the character much outside of the Zahn Trilogy and TIE Fighter so...I'd be fine with it I guess?

Did Zahn write a bunch more Thrawn stuff that I missed? I know there was the Hand of Thrawn duology, but he was dead all through that. So...not that omnipotent.

No, but with a plan to have a clone return if he did die.

Zahn didn't write as much Thrawn as he did Mara, sure. But, he was slowly changing him from the competent, but still very much the bad guy, into a hero who was using the Empire as a way to protect against the Vong. He even had him impersonate Jodo Kast once.

Who cares if her family was Death Watch? She also came from the Empire lol.

Shes not Imperial though... She takes Joy in blowing Imps up in sadistic ways.

I don't see that as being that great of a feat. Anyone with a Lightsaber can chop down a AT-AT.

Not as of Phantom Menace, with a single stroke you couldn't.

Clearly that's no longer the case.

What scene are you talking about?

Just a little something to get you excited for next episode...

So its double confirmed that the psycho is a psycho. If these Proto Alliance Rebs still allow her to stick around if they find out she is Death Watch I will have to confirm that the SW universe is just as bad as the 40k universe in that not one faction is good. Although there alot of good Imperials and Rebs for now.

Hmm, I guess you missed the bit where Sabine said her mom was Deathwatch but that she wasn't.

No, but she is invoking said Deathwatch title to have a political right to talk with other Mandos. She cant turn around and say shes not Deathwatch without making her claim pointless. People from the United States, please come help me, I am an AMERICAN! Not really though I am Italian...

Except for the fact that she said "my mother was, but I'm not" . They probably would've shot her otherwise, the only reason they don't is because she invoked the code.

Didn't she say "My mother was, but I'm not" to the "Traitor" remark?

She might be trying to make a "Deathwatch aren't all traitors" claim.

Considering there was a high ranking member of House Kryze in Deathwatch, I'm willing to bet Death Watch's membership isn't purely based on clan and house. But, considering Death Watch is pretty closely tied to House Viszla, it is a rather obvious connection most familiar with Mando politics would make.

Does anyone else sigh when Sabine tries to move people with speeches, it's just so underwhelming. I do like her character though.

So... If Bo-Katan is Sabine's mother... perhaps she was (sorta) named after Bo-Katan's sister, Satine?
I kinda like it. It also makes some sense considering that so many of those who worked on Clone Wars work on Rebels, and they want their original character's stories to continue...

I just want the new Mando Fighter as an X-wing ship... whatever it was. I want to say it's a Gauntlet , but those things are huge... 53m long? 52m wide? 13m tall? Capacity of 24 people? Yeah... no. They seem tiny. Just a touch over the size of an A-wing.

It got really bad when other authors started using Thrawn and decided that the only times the Imperial military did anything competent in the pre-Endor GCW Thrawn had to be involved somehow.

By the end of Legends Death Squadron's early campaigns were based on a strategy of Thrawn's. Oh and the destruction of the convoy which led to the Imperial fleet focusing their hunt for the rebel base on the region where Hoth is only happened because Thrawn figured out where the convoy would be and determined what type of plane the rebel base was on from its cargo.

If they make those Mandolorian fighters I'd play scum. I don't even watch Rebels but I like the look of them big time.

The issue was, Thawn was kept firmly away from the action by the Emperor himself. Thus was meant to be a large reason why he never really did anything; his station was fairly far away from where the alliance made their power plays. He was skilled enough to be a great Admiral, perhaps even being an equal or superior to many of his peers, but his race firmly kept him out of the way until the empire had buckled. It was pretty much his gambits that kept them going.

Thrawn in the original novels was perfectly fine, he was smart and daring enough to pull off strats that few others before him considered, and was able to learn from his defeats, but he wasn't invulnerable. He greatly underestimated the dark Jedi that, had he lasted for long enough would have found his clone army turned against him. Furthermore he relied on the Norgi more then he should have, which was what ultimately lead to his downfall.

The empire needed a captivating hero after all as they went from being fairly outmanned to being a firm contender. I found the rogue squad and wraith squad series interesting for the same reasons; the villians in each were cunning in their own way and Zjini being this elaborate performance made for interesting reading.

wtf. It censored "***".

Chooper Wopping really IS NSFW then, I guess.

EDIT: Holy s**t. Legit censoring of W o p. What in the world?

I believe Captain Pellaeon said it best. The battle for the forest moon of End or would have ended very differently if Grand Admiral Thrawn was there.

That being said, IF Thrawn does show up, I think we can see his card show up in both XWing and Armada.

No, but with a plan to have a clone return if he did die.

So... would the clone be called Thruawn?

Or does cloning not specifically require a "u" and you can instead double-up on an existing vowel, making it Thraawn?

Mandalorians should get their own faction.
