STAR WARS: REBELS Discussion Thread!

Do remember, that the "Legends" stuff is dubiously canon now.

That and the old EU used the wrong model of Sentinel the entire time.

Well....it's there...until it's not.

I will say that things like background of ships is most likely safe. Most characters are safe. It's more what they did. I mean, it's not like Dengar or the Punishing One is gone, but what exactly Dengar has done is in question. Things like "what is a Sentinel Shuttle" is pretty safe.

More or less. Just stating that the Sentinel Shuttle of Rebels is much, much closer to how it's supposed to look than the Legends one.

And ludicrous to think it's a sphere so massive that it can have healthy star systems inside it.

Um, it is a CLUSTER of collapsed stars. That's like saying a peanut can't fit inside a peanut cluster.

wow....there really isn't much info on it. I would've thought that there would be some background to tie it to the Lambda Shuttle. Odd to me that it's a totally different ship instead of just a variant Lambda.

There's tons of info on it. It's just all from the EU.

Leela: "When you were planning this peace ring, didn't you realize spaceships can move in three dimensions?"

They were cornered when heading to the planet and didn't have a choice but to go through it, but they probably went around the star wall on the way home.

Like your quote suggests, it seems...unlikely that a star cluster is two dimensional.

Darth Maul's survival was one of the worst examples of fanboyism oeverriding logic in the franchise.

Anakin didn't hit the ground he landed on another speeder.

Obiwan landed on water

Luke hit a slope and slid down rather then impacting directly

Palpatine died and a clone of him appeared several years later.

I'm not sure that a sample set of Force Users is exactly the best example of why safety rails are unneeded.

Ignoring logic, I found the scene to be quite magical, the music worked really well with the images.

The scene IS totally magical. My only problem with it is the fact that they can now just jump in and out as they please.

If they had to use the staff every time, I'd have no problem with it. Because the staff is obviously magic.

Right, it is a bit too convenient. I don't expect it to come up again outside of a small mention when they meet some other members of Zebs species, though, so it is easy to ignore moving on.

Did they mention, they don't have to use the staff anymore? I am pretty sure, they didn't. At least as far as I've understood it, it was more a " We know now where it is, so next time we don't have to search for it anymore, 'cause: Charted terrain...!"

Otherwise they could use Lirasan as an untouchable rebels base of operations pretty easily.

Fair point. When he asked "How are we getting out of here?" instead of being "The same way we came in, with the staff." They were all "Now we've charted the system, we can come and go as we please." Which implied to me that they didn't need the staff. But you're right, that's just an assumption on my part.

The didn't NEED the staff. They just weren't ever going to find the planet without it. Once they found the planet, they don't need the staff to find it again.

Sure, but why did they cut out all the back story about why it was designed and such? I mean, I doubt they are ever going to change those details. I get they want to cut out all the places it was seen or mentioned in EU, but why cut out all the cool background stuff that really doesn't matter about a storyline. You know.....more armor b/c they wanted a shuttle ship for troops and not diplos and officers. That's the type of stuff that won't be re-written and should've just stayed there.

I think you seriously underestimate the size of space. Star systems as well come in many sizes, red dwarves for example can have stable, habitable systems about 1/10th the total size of ours. Smaller star - tighter Goldilocks zone.

I'm not saying it can't happen ever. Just that it isn't what happened this time.

The canon source Rebels says the planet isn't inside a sphere of cluster bombed stars.

Photos from the episode showing open space behind the planet, and where there's open space there's a way around a space wall:

The clouds dissipate.

Tiny stars behind the planet.

With Ezra out of the way, a real star field behind the planet.

They busted through an impossible maze with space magic, but could have gone around given enough time.

I loved the music, and really star wars IS Clarks third law. Let there be spehss magick.

Wasn't that sort of the point? To add some more mythical elements to the Force?

Seems that the lasat have taken over the Maw AND the Hapes consortium.

I'm glad the Hapes are gone, I really didn't like their style or what they brought to the EU. I miss the Chiss, but fingers crossed on that one.

As someone who thought this episode was decent but not great, the entire final scene traversing the star cluster was gorgeous and had amazing music.

The didn't NEED the staff. They just weren't ever going to find the planet without it. Once they found the planet, they don't need the staff to find it again.

I thought they did NEED the staff because they would be torn apart without it. See the Tie fighters for proof.

That was my take-away as well.

Does anyone recognize the music in the background or is it an original piece written for this episode? I'd like to hear it in its entirety (and maybe get a hold of the sheet music).

It is original for Rebels.

Well yeah.

But it isn't Yoda or Ben saying anything about it so people don't accept it.

Ok, so i guess no one else caught the reference to the Ashla, which is from some of the very early scripts to The Star Wars. I wonder if the Bendu Knights will be different from the Jedi, and if the Bogan will be mentioned. Everything old is new again.

I did catch that. And I would totally be cool with that.
