Actually if you read what they say about Legends in individual interviews after the canon announcement you will see that Legends functions as secondary canon. Even one of the writers said it was all canon and that it would only be the fine details of those stories that might become non-canon. So if Farlander somehow didn't show up at Yavin, because what the Rebels writer said, and others, you just ignore that part of Farlanders lore, don't throw out the rest.

I think you're mixing that up with how Clone Wars's constant overwrites were meant to work. And I say meant to because they really didn't. The Essential Guide to Warfare made a good effort to retcon it into rough sense but TCW made a mess of things nonetheless.

The Disney canon, as they've made abundantly clear, is a clean slate starting with the then six films and TCW. While they source heavily from Legends (why wouldn't they? Premade material and fan service rolled into one easy package) It is common knowledge that Legends is not canonical in any way.

And as you're the only one claiming otherwise I'm going to have to challenge you for a citation.

The Original Asajj Ventress, love Ms. Sabine allready

While I certainly respect Grey's turn as Asajj, I think that role really belongs to her second actress, Nika Futterman... her husky, languid arrogance just worked so perfectly. Grey is amazing though (easily among my favorite VO actors), and I always love her work. I mean, Azula simply wouldn't have been even half as terrifying and amazing without Grey.

Also: If you ever want a great bit of fun, play the female Bounty Hunter in SWtoR - Grey did her VO work as well, and she's excellent in the role.

I have never seen people so upset about an explosion in a universe where an ice planet converted into a superweapon can fire its deathray halfway across the galaxy but the beam can be seen from a planetary surface in realtime.

New clip for the next episode.....

Not much but Sabine's mom does have a sweet looking home.

What happened to that guy's helmet at 0:44?

He was so amazed by seeing the darksaber it either just evaporated, launched itself into the stratosphere or he could have just taken it off. Though, it most likely was just someone forgetting to put the asset in there for that scene.

I'm going to assume it was launched in to orbit when Sabine blew. his . mind. with her Mandalorian Awesomesauce. Haven't watched the clip yet though.

These clips are cut together, he probably took it off, since there are some seconds not shown.

I think my overall despise for CW makes me not like Futtermans version as much, but I still think that she has done some awesome work.

Dammit, the idiot I am has played the male Bounty Hunter. HUBRIS!

That's what I figured, still found it funny.

Hahaha just saw the helmetless part someone definitely forgot to put in an asset because I doubt that she holds that same pose for much longer then the clip.

Possibly though he takes it off, who knows. I hope its not an error cause otherwise...what have they been up to this last month?

I guarantee that if Sabine wasn't an ex-13yo imperial weapons designer ex-bounty hunter your friends daughter would love her just as much.

Would have been nice if Zeb filled that 'ex-bounty hunter' role; it would have given him some character arcs beyond Lasant stuff, which is what they're currently struggling with him on. Mistakes are always made.

However, extraordinary people do extraordinary things, and Sabine is being portrayed as a literal, honest-to-Force genius. Check out this list of child prodigies for people who entered universities before the age of 10, and in one case graduated . The kid who told his doctor at six months , "I have an ear infection," was great.

Heck, there's a ton of those lists out there, and we're just on one planet . A galactic empire actively interested in finding and recruiting these child prodigies would probably be even more effective at ferreting them out!

The timeline seems to go - "Trained as warrior for House Vizla as a child (apparently common for non-peacenik Mandos). Entered Imperial Academy young - left at age 13 (within the bounds of genius). Spent several years as bounty hunter (which I find believable; what OTHER job is a 13-year-old who's only learned about guns and bombs going to get? Prostitute?) Met up with Hera Syndulla and was recruited by her into the Lothal cell."

It's no more outrageous than Thrawn's backstory in the EU, which had him becoming the youngest commander ever in the history of a very militant race, who then threw it over to join a military that is actually racist against non-humans, and rose to the position of Grand Admiral despite that.

So it was an animation error after all, haha and they didn't notice it in three weeks.

I thought the Episode was good, but as allways way too short, 40 minutes would be more suted. I also like that Sabine will not become Mandalore, but that her quest will be to find Mandalore (*cough* Boba *cough* (probably not))

This episode did finally pin down how Mandalorian armour colour works now: it's coloured by affiliation. You wear the colours of who you're loyal to. Death Watch was silver and blue, Maul Supercommando is red and black, Saxon Supercommando and white and some red, Protectors are mid to dark blue, Wren is grey and yellow, Sabine is a lone wolf who left as a child and so does her own thing.

Loved the episode. One of the better episodes of this season IMO. Pretty cool to hear Mando'a spoken for the first time. As for Mandalore? When it's all over and done with it'll be Papa Wren who becomes Mandalore.

Indeed, completely forgot about the use of Mando'a, I was actually very happy about that aswell!
The only other canon Mando'a source we had so far was Jango speaking to Boba, if I'm not mistaken

Weren't all the readings on the controls of Slave One written in Mando'a?

Except whoever defeats maul in combat has claim to the darksaber....

And if old man obi-wan defeats maul.... Obi-wan Mandalore confirmed?

But wait... Kannan already defeated maul in the season 2 finale...

Let the "Who is Sabine's dad?" Fan theories commence.

I honestly don't know, since I tend to not give the writing to much attention in star wars (can't read them anyways)
But I mostly meant spoken language, not just written language

Clan Wren armor is my new favorite flavor of mando armor.

It might have been a case of the animation just being done and having too late to fix it, I suspect the three week break had more to do with some kind of scheduling or people in charge of the channel more so than the Rebels team anyways.

What exactly was Saxon's plan there?

"I'm going to betray this clan and wipe them all out. ...from inside their own stronghold...where they have more people than I brought with me."

A very good episode. And we will have a break from Sabine for at least a few episodes.

They were lucky that Sabine was the only Mandalorian present with a blaster resistant armour.

I love how they just trashed fan theories by inventing a new character instead of going deeper into "everyone is related" microscopic galaxy.
They did the same with Rogue One (so many far fetched theories literally nuked from orbit just to be sure) and you know they will do the same with Snoke.

Music was amazing, and not just one theme, it was great throughout the whole episode. The only downside of parting with miss Wren is that she takes her theme with her.

Realllly good episode!

I wonder if the new Mandalorian Civil War will be a Season 4 thing, or if it will be a standalone thing. I think it could be great fuel for a short comic book series.

Also..... if Saxxon was the Emperor's Hand - Won't Palpatine need a replacement? A red haired, force sensitive replacement?
