Force witch enhanced vs cybernetics. Now I don't say that Trench could not survive, but I think Maul's survival is independent of his species, while Trench species seem to have a lot to do with his constant survival. Still, a gand would not have needed any cybernetics unlike both Maul and Trench, so I guess they are still above Zabrak and Harch in that species in the galaxy ranking. ;-)
Btw I'm only being half serious about Trench still being alive. But it's entirely possible even if it seems implausible.
Well, that's not any lamer than Anakin's Immaculate Conception and Midichlorians.I keep tellin' people. Rey is the reincarnation of Anakin's force convergence.Read Before the Awakening. Rey remembers her parents. I'm pretty sure that discredits all Rey Skywalker theories. Yes the main Star Wars Saga is the Skywalker Saga, but we already have a Skywalker in the new generation: Ben Solo/Kylo Ren.
She's not Vader's granddaughter. She IS Vader. That's why she's so connected to his light saber.
Errm... Midichlorians exist so that Jedi have justification for taking away young children from their parents. Imagine Qui Jon and Obi saying they have a "feeling about the child" and wanting to take him from his mum... It'd be creepy!

Well obviously there going to explain things out very plainly... we see that with Plo Koon in the clone wars episode. And they did it with out the midicholrians...
Also on above thread, she got visions from Her past, not nessacarily all anakins. Where was the downfall of the emporer? the trench run? the slaughter of the younglings? Podracing? She obviously is related in someway, but she isn't a random occurance. She has parents. Even anakin has parents, Shimi and Darth Plageius...the wise.
I really like the concept of Anakin being an unintended consequence of Darth Plageius' experiments in the Dark Side. Unfortunately it's Legends, not canon.

Nothing special today. Fulcrum is still helping, so Thrawn is not as clever as I thought. Probe droid has a really strange idea of probing.
I really dislike the logistics droid. A sarcastic response from time to time is funny, but every word that leaves his vocabulator is an insult, he's just a ******* jerk
So, what do you guys think about the latest episode of Rebels?
I really expected more of this Episode, having the Droid be a bigger threat or something.
Also Zeb is pretty boring on his own, but it was nice to get a break from the Ezra-centric Episodes.
I think this season fails to present the Characters, they work best if they are together as a team, with a few Character-specific Episodes thrown into there.
I liked that Trawn still seems to get usefull information, but I don't know, I expected alot more action and story development...
However i have to disagree with eMeM, it is not Filler. This trend to call every second Episode Filler annoys me a great deal, those people clearly have never seen true Filler.

If it doesn't move the plot or character development arcs forwards then it can be considered a filler episode. That doesn't mean it's bad. What it means is the story wouldn't be weakened by leaving it out.
"Warhead" burned twenty minutes playing buddy cop versus Terminator with a couple crap characters, all as a setup for Thrawn to pick up the Rebels' scent. I appreciate the key Thrawn insert at the end, but I'm struggling to find anything worthy of praise in the rest of the Episode.
The Hobby/Wedge collision was dumb. The fact they're still in Phoenix squadron is interesting. I'm curious when and how they wind up on Yavin.
I expect more from Zeb. His backstory and his bumbling oaf portrayal are totally out of synch. His is the most poorly written character in the Ghost crew. Also the most expendable.

The episode moved the main story arc. It missed an opportunity for quality development of Zeb, AP-5, Chopper and the the rest of the NPC rebels. The episode was not filler, but it fell short in the character development and entertainment departments.
Sadly this season appears to be a mixed bag. Considering how hyped everyone, including me, the dissapointment just sings much harder.
I think part of the Problem is the Timeframe of 20 minutes, which is just too short for a propper Beginning-Climax-End.

Well, this episode was at least 15 minutes too long

Probably the same way the Ghost crew do: I think that's the rest of the plot to this season.
It appears from the trailer that the main arc (so not the Maul or Mandalore arcs) is the TIE defender project or rather the threat of it. After being attacked by early models the rebels launch a large scale rebel attack on the Lothal Sienar factory. In doing so, they reveal Atollon. Thrawn attacks in full force with an Interdictor. The Ghost crew and some of the Phoenix cell escape (possibly due to Thrawn overlooking a detail a la Bilbringi) and join up with the Yavin cell they're with in Rogue One.

Unless Trench is STILL alive.

Hey, if Maul can survive being bisected......
Biggest mistake Lucas ever made was killing Maul (yes, over Jar Jar, midichlorians, casting HC as Anakin.) I may be in the minority, but the Maul lives stuff to me slaps the face of credibility of the Saga and makes me question all of the Clone Wars and Rebels series. I have said it before, all the "Jedi" have to die before the events of Rogue One, or Star Wars is broken.

Just curious, have you watched the Clone Wars series, or at least the part about Maul's return?
I don't know why everyone is so sour. I personally liked this episode. When the Droid activated and started kicking the **** out of Zeb, that felt like a truly dire moment. The Droid was actually scary to me. I do think the pacing had some issues, it never really gave us time to get into it. But seeing Zeb stuck with two grumpy droids was gold to me.
While it wasn't a perfect episode, it was still enjoyable to me.

I have seen elected episodes and have seen the Maul return stuff.
I will also say that, in a way, Rogue One does not do Rebels any favors in terms of credibility. Cassian talks about how he has been a rebel and fighting the Empire since he was a child. Rebels makes you want to think that the cells began with and around the time of the Lothal group forming. To me, Rebels happens about 15 years too late. Now they are bringing Saw into the show, which I like the concept, but the Saw that we see on Rebels is what, less than two years away from the Saw that we see in Rogue One? So, in these two years, we see Saw become the crazy cell leader who thinks Jyn is coming to kill him (i.e. Col. Kurtz) from the Saw that finally shows compassion to a Geonosian? Also, sometime before this Geonosian encounter, we are to believe that Saw left Jyn in the battlefield too?
Solid performance by Chopper.
The second call from Fulcrum defused any suspense the Rebels could have had in the next few episodes. And put himself in further risk of discovery. It was a dumb move.
Episode was good. Zeb never gets to do anything anymore. And the whole point of this episode was showing that he was more than just muscle. And when Thrawn thinks your plan is ingenious, I'd say you succeeded.
At first, I was a little annoyed at the idea of a single droid bomb blowing up an entire Star Destroyer, then I remembered that the droid was in a bay with a bunch of other of those droids and his explosion probably set off all their bombs as well.
Is this the first time they've shown that Chopper has a freeze/carbonite sprayer?

Probably not until after X-Wings are introduced.
Edited by DarthEnderXLove the noise the combat droid made. Glad to see the Empire getting fewer and fewer qualms about using powerful droids in their operations. The Chimera had a chimera painted on it. Never noticed it before. Granted it was an odd spider-hydra chimera rather than the traditional snake-goat-lion, but still, galaxy far, far, away and all that.
Thrawn still out-Xanatos-ing his opponents, Chopper still made of 23K gold, Zeb getting mental development.
Oh. And now there are only 93 options left in the Rebel-Roulette base-killing game.
Soon.

Better look for the Chimera for you, the asset was under the Iron Squadron episode on StarWars.com

That is my biggest issue with the episode, sure it is smart of thrawn to relealize how much this cuts down the options. It actually super interesting that there were actually 93 droids in that bay, makes it reasonable enough that the whole ISD did blow up. BUT the rebels should realize the problem themselves as well and prepare for moving out. Killing an ISD is worth a transfer of base, but they should realize how much they have exposed themselves with this move. Thrawn again looks smart because everyone else seems dumb.
