STAR WARS: REBELS Discussion Thread!

By KCDodger, in X-Wing

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 perked up as soon as I heard the ole lady say Ashla. I tried to explain it to my brother that it wasn't the first time hearing that word and he wasn't having any of it LOL

I know they look *exatcly* like temple guards from the trailer, but perhaps they're Bendu Knights, supremely small chance I know, almost 100% being guards, but it would be sweet to bring first draft stuff into canon, I for one really enjoyed to trade paperback of Lucas' The Star Wars.

I have a feeling we are gettin the Yellow Ties in the next episode.

In this preview:

at 0:56 you see those guys in Yellow. I bet the Yellow Ties belong to that organization/faction. bought or stolen (most likely bought) from the empire.

I like Kanan's helmet.

Why are they attacking a Space Aquarium?

Maybe it's a space whaling station....on a moon.

Space lamp oil and space scrimshaw.

But then SW has a poor safety record. Hand rails people, use em!

Darth maul gets cut in half and falls down a deep well. He lives.

Anakin jumps out of a flying speeder, a hundred stories up. He lives.

Obi-wan is shot of a tall cliff. He lives.

Luke jumps down a bottomless pit. He lives.

The emperor gets thrown down a bottomless shaft (over a handrail). He comes back.

Yeah, handrails don't actually seem that important a feature in the SW universe.

*For force users...

Regular folks fall into pits/wells/drops all the time in the movies, and they're never heard of again :)

('cept for boba)

STAR WARS : EPISODE 8 - THE FORMATION OF OSHA

A Long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...

It is a dark time for workplace safety, there are bottomless pits without railings everywhere, and people keep swinging laser swords around. In the EMPIRE a brave band of Workers Compensation Board members....

You know... given Rebels is set before the Senate was disbanded, I could see some busy bodies in government pushing through some health and safety reforms... perhaps that does explain the yellow uniforms (improves visibility in dangerous situations), Yellow ties (because ties do seem to bump into eachother more than other craft), and the cut down wings (improve pilot visibility).

I need to watch the preview again looking for anybody carrying harpoons

But there ARE whales. Do we still tell tall tales? Or sing whaling tunes?

I finally got around to watching Season 2 so I could join this thread! I jumped to first unread post and it was on page 122! :lol:

Oh boy did I miss a lot, but 29 pages is too much.

On topic: the whales look neat. :)

Scum TIE fighters !

That's interesting. I wonder what that's all about?

So apparently these guys are the Techno Union. Not terrible seeing them again... maybe.

This may explain the modified TIEs.

Good. I kinda didn't want to have to buy another kind of Rebels TIE Fighter. If they're Scum, I won't have to.

Odd chose for the Rebels writers though. There's gotta be a million Scum ships they could have used instead of having stolen TIEs.

Well if they used all the old stuff at once, what would they do when they ran out?

Of course I feel like the budget for this season got cut just a little bit....

Pretty certain they have a higher budget. Things like Vader's cape just eats into it.

Who says they were stolen?

Did anyone else notice those Techno Union Ties looked like PacMan Ties? The front two sections of the solar panels are missing.

Now we can get some Scum Modded Ties for X-wing. Yeah...

Really dig the look of those TIEs though, I even like the yellow look.. I may have to cut a couple wings to get that look

Space Dishonored confirmed!

No wonder the Emperor got rid of the Senate! They were threatening to undermine the evil of his reign!

That's exactly what my little brother said, actually.

I'll have to tell him that.
