STAR WARS: REBELS Discussion Thread!

Bet you that little human force-sensitive child was a baby Kyle Katarn!

YES!

Since you both like that character i thought you should know that Dark Trooper were made primary canon kinda recently, along with the dark trooper precursors the Purge Trooper. The Dark troopers appear in one of those new mobile rts games.

I'm english and I would have stunned her into a coma, and that's only If I were specifically ordered to capture, as it stands otherwise full auto and then a thermal det on the corpse would have been used.

I would always have my gun set to stun. It looks like the gun shoots big rings out that keep expanding. If i stun an enemy thats supposed to be killed i would just take their head off while they are stunned.

If its large scale conflict i would just neutron the place as long as the area is only full of combatants.

Great episode last night. I got goose bumps when Ahsoka lit up her sabers and then spun them to her reverse grip fighting style.

The slightly "Duel of the Fates"ish choir progression didn't hurt. Ahsoka's fight was definitely the highlight of the episode, though I wish they had a better way of taking Kanan out of the fight.

Shes kinda cool but i am counting on Star Killer killing her before he moves on to hunting real jedi.

It would be so fitting to have this happen, its symbolic, Vaders life destorys more of Anakins legacy.

Star killer AKA Sir not appearing in this canon?

If i'm not mistaken TFU has already been noped to oblivion?

TFU is likely going to be canonized soon. Juno Eclipse is in X-Wing. Sam Witwer (The Apprentice) is confirmed to be working with Rebels, though the official word is he's voicing someone else...... however I remain unconvinced.

Still though, i would swear I read that at least some of STFU was NOPE'ed?

Are we pretty much guaranteed to get an Ahsoka crew or pilot at this point? She's nearly as big as the other Rebels characters we're getting.

He's voicing the Emperor. He was already on Rebels in Siege of Lothal.

And there is only one person that gets to kill Ahsoka. Vader.

When that happens, I am 99% sure i'll cry.

Manly, badass tears, obviously.

Note: If/When Rex dies, you are NOT A REAL MAN UNLESS YOU CRY.

Leaving that there.

I for one was very disappointed at the colour of Ahsoka's light sabers, or at least for the reason the director gave. He said they were going to be white, and they are, since she was neutral. :(

So much for cannon or crystals having anything to do with the colour. Unless... after she left the order she built new Light Sabers and found white crystals. One can hope that's what happened in cannon.

P.S. the stupidity and ineptitude of the Storm Troopers never ceases to amaze me.

P.S.S. As a kid's show do you really think Vader will kill Ahsoka? I mean seriously I would like to agree. These guys are getting really good but we don't see anything about them in Star Wars (uh that would be the real name of the first movie; you call it A New Hope ). How do they end up disappearing before the very movie this show is leading up too? If dead then it will be a dark and sad ending. Otherwise...

TCW was a kids show too...

Poor Fives, Tup and Echo...

and that one jedi that had a last stand on Ryloth...

and Satine...

And, you know MINISTER TUA!!!

It's inevitable. Ahsoka cannot just ignore her former master. And, well, Vader really wants Ahsoka to tell her where Kenobi is. Ahsoka will try to turn Vader back, but won't. Storywise, it is the perfect supplement to show just how important Luke is. And Filoni has said as much.

And just because Ahsoka is slated to die, the others are not. People really try to make the galaxy smaller than it is.

Rex pretty much kinda needs to die.

I hate that he does but...

If old age doesn't get him, then a heroic sacrifice because old age is the alternative will.

Too true. I think it would be sad, but fitting, If he went out in a blaze of glory.

I doubt TFU will be canonized, but some elements of it may be adopted into new canon stories like other elements of the old EU.

Juno Eclipse being in X-Wing isn't really a sign of that though. X-Wing still is using the Legends EU material in its new releases like the Mist Hunter.

It's debatable whether or not such things are, "Legends" however. We have no reason to assume The Mist Hunter does not exist.

Why did the Inquisitors bring the human baby with them down to the planet, when they had a fully operational Star Destroyer at their disposal, completely with medbay, guards and all stuff to keep the baby safe and secured? I mean, that was the ship they were raiding from in the first place.

It's possible that kidnapping babies is not an "official" part of the Inquisition's duties(hence killing lal the witnesses). There are some things even some stormtroopers and naval officers might even balk at.

Including shooting a hostile and dangerous opponent they have surrounded, apparently.

NO, I WILL NOT LET THAT GO!

All part of a nutritious breakfast...on Endor.

I really should add Ashoka to my list at this point. Just added Chop as a astromech since I guess that's now a thing. Was hoping there was better choreography for Ashoka. Loved the blade catch but I feel like she should get some scenes where she goes full on equilibrium on the baddies.

Other notes, I wouldn't terribly miss starkiller if he was out for good. Nice legends story would be OK with me. And I hope Ashoka doesn't die. I've grown to really appreciate her character. That and if she dies she's gone for good since I'd wager she's never learned of the living aspect of the force and can't manifest a Force ghost in death. Hell Vader/Anakin dies it without learning so maybe I'm wrong

Other notes, I wouldn't terribly miss starkiller if he was out for good.

Much as I like Galen, his story getting added into Rebels starts really undercutting things.

Already we've gone from Obi-Wan and Yoda being the last two Jedi to there being threeish in the Rebellion already. Add Starkiller and Rahm Kota into the mix and it starts looking like the Rebel Alliance was actually full of Jedi all along.

Unless of course...they just kill everyone before ANH...

That said, I think if they made Starkiller an Inquisitor who worked personally under Vader who eventually turns to the Rebels, that would be a pretty good way to include him.

Maybe he's got a fiew more good years ahead of him?

Also SMJ johnson in the very back... but please let this be the case for Rex...
