STAR WARS: REBELS Discussion Thread!

By KCDodger, in X-Wing

I am referencing both the Star Wars Rebels Insider information at the time, which stated it was "Significantly Larger", and "Not the Immobiliser Cruiser of Old."

The Armada Model is a good reference for it - as it is a spitting image of the Rebels Version - also has the centerline trench system that the Immobiliser does not have.

It also places its size as "Larger than a Victory" in the scaling system - but it still is smaller than an Imperial... But the Victory is still significatntly larger than the 418...

There are numerous small differences, moreso than just size.

I am mostly referencing what, y'know, the Official Sources themselves have said on it.

A Death Star by any other name will still a planet destroy.

So an Interdictor would, were she not an Immobiliser call'd, retain that dear ability which she owes w ithout that title.

Interdictor, doff thy designation, and for that name which is no part of thee, pluck out from their safety at the speed of light all Force-forsaken Rebel scum.

(Bigger, newer: makes no difference. We know a descendant of an older concept when we see one.)

Can I just pull out one of the reasons they IDed the old EU as "Ledgends." It was basically so they could say it sort of happened, but was probably different. This is just one of the thing that got changed. It's pretty much the same ship, just a bit bigger.

depends what you mean, I haven't seen anything overtly legends

Fire Quasar carrier.

Agreed. It's clearly an Interdictor straight out of the EU. The slight redesign is irrelevant, and in fact, might not even be real given that everything looks slightly different in Rebels. What he considers "a different ship" may simply be art style differences.

Could have been an experimental design with the Immobilzer class being a refinement. The Interdictor was a pretty big ship at 600 meters, twice as big as the ARGH-kittens. And the quasar fire.

Anyway, I doubt Rogue One will have any carryover to Rebels, or vice versa. No TAPs in Rogue, no U-wings in Rebels, ect.

Also Rebels had the old Hammerheads from KOTOR, so while they were probably not made the same timeline as KOTOR proposes to be, they are there in nearly original form.

There actually were some comments made in Rebels Recon about this: They are not the Hammerhead cruisers from KotoR (obviously). They are however in universe designed to resemble traditional spacecraft.

It's clearly bigger than in Legends since its hanger bay is large enough to fit a CR90.

The amount of questions and confusion would drop by about 60% if everyone just watched the Rebels Recon episodes, which are generally very interesting and informative.

The hanger would have to be roughly 1/4 the length of the Interdictor if it was the same 600 meter size from the old EU. I don't remember how it looked on screen so...

That's actually a cool bit of info, thank you! They're like remakes of classic cars.

Not really Rebels news, but it's confirmed that a "Clone Wars" character is making an appearance in Rogue one. I wonder if a Rebels character will get a cameo?

Maybe as Force ghosts.

There's nothing saying they need to be dead as of Rogue One. Kanan and Ezra will need to be gone by the time Yoda dies, that's all.

Because Filoni in no way attempted to mess around with what a Jedi was?

Remember, Ahsoka wasn't a Jedi in Rebels.

Or not jedi.... Ezra tapping into the dark side could make him walk a path like Ashoka, being a "Grey Jedi", for lack of a better term.

I hope so, I detest the lame idea of having Ezra turn (so imo easily) to the dark side, meh :)

I don't think its that easy, he's been talking about wanting revenge and taking justice into his own hands the whole show, really. He's normally pretty unrestrained with his emotions.

Far more appropriate would imo be if he turns grey, not dark. that is a step to far imo.

I do not see logic in that as his emotions run wild, justifying his step to the dark side.

Or maybe, just maybe, Yoda and Ben were lying to Luke about being the last of the Jedi, just as they lied about his father, about his sister (by omission), about whether or not the Dark Side is stronger (he was getting his ass handed to him by Vader til he got angry, then stopped and the Emperor promptly shocked him until another Dark Side user stepped in), and probably about a lot of other things.

My personal theory is that Luke Skywalker was tuned as a weapon to destroy the Sith instead of being a real representation of the Jedi.

Or, of course, they could just have been wrong. That's how it was handled in the old Legends continuity. Yoda was not omniscient, so it's always possible that there could be other Jedi survivors in hiding that he didn't know about. Just like most if not all such survivors would be unaware that Yoda survived. I mean even in Rebels, Kanan, Ezra, and Ahsoka don't actually know that Yoda is still alive. For all they know it could've been a Force ghost they encounted in the Lothal temple.

So I went back and rewatched some of Seaso 2 after watching the final episoode. And I found it funny in a dark sort of way that at the end of the "spiders" episode where Hera says to Kanan (or vice versa) "we'll see each other again"....well one will see the other.

Pffft.

That's actually pretty funny.

FINALLY SOME SEASON 3 FOOTAGE!

Ezra looks like Galen Marek and he stopped ******* around with stun weapons, he shoots people dead with a blaster now. I like it.

I'd LOL if they made Ezra Starkiller...

And let's face it guys, it's not impossible.

His master is basically Rahm Kota, we are getting there ;)
