STAR WARS: REBELS Discussion Thread!

By KCDodger, in X-Wing

I Feel like Ahsoka is in another time at the moment, and thus not present during the time of the OT. The place she entered through that door looked like the temple she fought Vader in (I could be wrong there), but, much later (I feel).



As to the Ahsoka/Ezra/Kanan Mortis thing, I don't really feel like the entirety of the force is represented by those three. They are all pretty light sided.

I will say this, this feels less and less like a Jedi Temple (a template made by the Jedi) and more of a temple discovered by the Jedi. Think about it for a moment; would a Jedi truly build something that could mess up the timeline that badly? A source of near ultimate power?

The Whills

Can't say I cared for these episodes. It was great having *REDACTED* back, but over all they felt more like Star Trek or Stargate episodes than Star Wars. Time travel has always been something that I didn't feel fit with the universe. It was dumb when Jacen Solo played with it, it's dumb when Ezra does. Seeing the past/future works, but being able to interact with it doesn't, in my opinion.

Also, I hate that they brought back the Mortis stuff. I hated those episodes in the CW show, and rank them along with the worst Star Wars has to offer. Sad to see its continuing.

All Good Things ...

I feel this last episode(s) just let us know, that what we THOUGHT we knew of the force is nothing but a jar of sand from the beach of the force.

I believe eve it even ties in Luke’s force projection even better!

See the thing is, that's how I've felt for years. It is literally space magic but when people say that they only think of the wizards and their spells, not the greater cosmic forces from which wizards must draw from.

I can't stress enough how unknown the force is to us, guys. It doesn't have rules that we can understand. It just flat out doesn't.

You're on the money. But sometimes, The Jedi build their temples over things to protect them from those who may misuse them.

Yup, already a thread running on that over in the Armada forums. Looks like Galactica-minus-its-pontoons is entering canon, again.

Hello? As much as people wanted her to die, she walked away alive the last time we saw her. So why the heck the surprise?

Very fitting.

West End Games created the Dreadnaught in 1989 as a Heavy Cruiser as an Old Republic predecessor of the of heavier classes to follow.

But they really came into the fore with Tim Zhan’s Dark Force Rising as part of Thrawn’s Katana fleet story arc.

Don't tell me you've been living under a rock. In fact go back about 50 pages and this own thread is filled with rampant speculation on the subject. No matter your opinion you can't deny the theories that circulated around at the time of whether or not said character in question was alive or not. This finally affirms that said character is indeed alive.

(sigh, whoever's bright idea it was to remove the html shortcut for spoiler tags when they moved everything needs a paycut.)

Dave Filoni had hidden spoilers for us two years ago on his artist series card.

Hmm, bringing back all the crew to keep it intense at the end, I like it. Question is who gets out?

My Theory: Kallus, Zeb, and Pryce die. Ezra will sacrifice himself to ensure that Hera/chopper and Sabine can escape. Sabine will go home, Hera will take the survivors to Yavin. Thrawn will be commended for his efforts but choose to resign citing several failures among his dealings with imperial "leadership". (Constantine and Pryce) and return to the chiss people to continue developing the TIE Defender (predecessor to the clawcraft anyone?).

Lothal will end up being abandoned and over time will return to it's more natural state.

The biggest problem with the stupidity of bringing

time travel to the Star Wars universe is that it is

crippling from a story perspective. Maybe check out the future a bit and possibly SAVE THE ENTIRE HOSNIAN SYSTEM!? Or Alderaan, even? I don't care, you've got options. Or, hey, how about killing multiple birds with one stone and, say, warn the Jedi Council about Order 66 and Palpatine??? I mean, sure, Ahsoka is great and all and rescuing a friend is always fun and blablah, but...I dunno, perhaps a thought for the hundreds of billions of lives that could be spared by stopping the Clone Wars and Galactic Civil War in its tracks???

No, just...dumb, very dumb. Pointless, too.

Literally what is gained by doing this, instead of just having had Vader kill her, outright, seasons back? How is the story improved by Ahsoka living through that, and returning, because time travel is apparently a thing, now, in the Star Wars universe?

I don't have a problem with this little time travel fiasco, because I'm pretty sure it's not gonna be used again. The portals closed.

Pryce is 100% gone, I think Kallus dies too. It looks like they are also killing poor Hondo, although at this point it would be a mercy.

I hope Ezra dies, not because of some stupid lines in the OT, but because he can't just be left alone after having The Sheev say your name.

I'd also want Thrawn to die simply to not let Zahn ruin the character any further than he already has with his book, but I doubt it will happen.

On the other hand it leaves a nice opportunity to just erase the whole sequel era :P

Xanderf buddy think about this: Wouldn't we have heard about something like this before? Clearly this portal is no longer accessible, like, at all- and even if it was... Definitely not by here. But what's more?

What, is Ezra clairvoyant now? What does he know about Hosnian Prime? The Death Star? Alderaan, Starkiller Base. How can a child know where to pinpoint the start of a war, or the galactic civil war? He barely even understands these things.

All Ezra is, is a scared young man who was still coming to grips with losing a second father. Also, I don't want to be like this but Ahsoka never died and that was never, ever in the cards either. Ahsoka was intended to live. We saw both Vader and Ahsoka leaving Malachor, wounded from the battle.

But of course, (not digging at you here) because reasons, only Ahsoka's was supposed to be allegorical.

I still think there is a chance that Ezra will end up going to the chiss, similar to Eli Vanto.

why

Just now, Captain Lackwit said:

why

The reason being that Something has to happen to Ezra. Also, we know Thrawn is sending people of Merit to the chiss.

Now, this is not guaranteed, but it is a possibility.

You guys have been speculating for nothing and ignoring denying the image of her alive, walking away. Anyway, what's stopping you guys from saying she is still dead? She ended in the very same place...

So am I. I really think I'm more excited about this than anything else in the finale.

How is Zahn ruining the character? He's taken the change in canon to slightly change the backstory but overall has presented an interesting and dynamic character very similar to what we've seen since Heir to the Empire . His book is by far the best of the Disney canon books.

That voice... It's so good.
