Personally I have to say I'm impressed overall and am eagerly awaiting season 2.

The thing I like most about it is how perfectly it fits with the Game! Not just one setting but all three. The setting is clearly EOE (at least season one) having to take up jobs with criminals to keep their ship fueled, to keep them going on certain missions against the Empire AOR there, meanwhile Kanan (a former Padawan, not a fully trained jedi himself) attempts to survive and now even teach another force sensitive, F&D.

I'd like to hear your thoughts, and how (if you have) worked any of the new material into your games.

By the way here's a preview of whats up next.

The new Inquisitors feel like a rival to Kanan and Ezra in essence knight and his padawan vs their Sith-like opposites but because they aren't allowed to be true Sith is why they'll eventually lose.

Did you know Ezra can cut through ISD hull in a few seconds with his lightsaber?

a lot of the show makes no sense just for the sake of making it fit a half hour time slot with all the commercials.

I watched the first few episodes when it came out but it didn't catch my interest much. I had no problems with the Inquisitor, except his ridiculously gimmick lightsaber. I liked Kanan and the Mandalorian chick. The Twi'lek pilot and the big alien guy I didn't care for.

I think you need to look at cartoons as semi-realistic versions of what actually happened. There is some really wierd stuff that I've watched in TCW that doesn't make sense whatsoever that is now "canon". For me if I just consider the cartoons as retellings of a true tale, it works better for me. To a lesser degree I've done the same with Ep 1-3.

So when your player says, "But Ezra cut through the SD's wall, why can't I?!", you can say that was just a legendary retelling. The truth was twisted a bit when the tale was retold.

You mean Vader&Palpatine throw fireballs from their eyes and bolts of lightning from their arses?

Or hide taser gauntlets and powerful electromagnets in their body armour?

Hope sheev wore insulated shoes!

Would explain why Vader was electrocuted picking Sheev up as he was "throwing" electricity around!

That's why I apply the Houserule "Lightsabers have Breach X". Only Energy or Darkmagiks based and Zillo Beast hide materials can stop a lightsaber

Also seems that Kanan shoulder-arm cover seems that have some degree of protection, not 100% sure.

I like the show and as the OP I am looking forward to the next season. Yeah it may be so-so to some, but it is on Disney XD a young adult channel, which many younger kids may watch, though the show is normally on in the evening.

I think there is a thread in the EotE section with some really good home spun stuff for that series. I am really digging the over all flavor of the series, as my campaign is set just five weeks after the fall of the Republic, based on the Dark Vader-Dark Lord Rising book. We have had 2.5 sessions of game play and we typically play 1 time per week. I like the idea that the PC in our game will possibly get to the same point late career as the Star Wars Rebels characters. So I'm looking forward to borrowing flavor from the series if the campaign gets to that point.

KSW

While it certainly is a bit more "kid-friendly" than I might've liked at my age, I am, for the most part, quite fond of it. They aren't totally shying away from people being shot by blasters (I initially expected something along the lines of 90's Spider-Man, where he NEVER actually hit somebody, and the weapons were lasers BECAUSE, and STILL didn't hit anyone), and while the "I use explosives!, but only to spray graffiti " had me going whine for a bit, that's not so much the case, either. I wouldn't expect Ezra and Sabine to have "a relationship", though earlier programs on the same channel have, but I might not mind, just to break the stereotype of "they are there, so they'll have a relationship (I lost all interest in Castle when they, of course, fell in love, stayed together, and got married, but that's just me).

I only have two and a half "real" complaints, and neither is truly the fault of the show. First, I never see toys for it, like other figures. One box of Ezra and Kanaan was a Toys'R'Us exclusive, and one with helmeted Sabine and A STORMTROOPER is only online, at least where I live, and costs more than the first season DVD will. Add to that, the first season DVD isn't out, yet. Maybe it's not as weird to anyone else, but I've been seeing reruns on Disney, and it's one when I'm at work, most days, so I won't get all caught up till that dang box comes out. Here's hoping it's soon.

I watched the first few episodes when it came out but it didn't catch my interest much. I had no problems with the Inquisitor, except his ridiculously gimmick lightsaber. I liked Kanan and the Mandalorian chick. The Twi'lek pilot and the big alien guy I didn't care for.

Definitely give it another go.

For one thing, the Lightsaber IS a gimic, if you pay attention he mostly only uses it to intimidate, not actually fight seriously. And as spoilerfree as possible? There's a real payoff to thinking it's a gimic too.

Also, the show just keeps getting stronger, even the apparent filler episodes aren't.

I've very much enjoyed the show from "Spark of Rebellion" up to the Season 2 trailer.

Like any TV show, it's probably not to everyone's tastes. I remember there being a lot of flak about Ezra's staple-gun saber-hilt before it debuted in the show, but after we got to see it in action, a number of folks changed their opinion of it to "that's actually pretty cool."

I've also really been enjoying the show. As others have said, it kind of makes me think of what a mixed group might be like using all of the FFG games. Their ship is pretty cool as well. Neither Kanan nor Ezra are super powerful or really true Jedi, which to me makes them more interesting as we are watching them struggle with their powers.. Kanan has enough training to roughly know what he is doing and is familiar with the Jedi code and Jedi teachings but he didn't have the opportunity to master those skills even to a Jedi Knight level, and then he is saddled with trying to guide another force user to learn to control their skills as well.

They are using their lightsabers more and more as the season progresses but at least they are not entirely relying on them and force powers. They usually try to find other ways to tackle a problem. Through out the show most of the characters do some growth and development as well, which is something I like in a show as well.

I'm really looking forward to the future of the show. Like do Ahsoka and Vader confront eachother? Will Ahsoka realize it's him right away and if she does, how does that affect her? In the trailer Kanan and Ezra seem in a pretty tight spot, how will they manage to get out of that? Personally, for this one, I'm thinking creative use of Ezra's lightsaber may be involved to create a small window of opportunity.

Hopefully they'll announce when the second season will actually start soon!

It is a show that very much encompasses all three game lines into one campaign. And fun for me so far.

Like a lot of people on here, I like the show because it emulates the FFG line of games very well. The group is a fine example of a gamer team consisting of EotE, AoR, and FaD PCs.

In particular, I liked Hera the best, though I can't say for certain why. Each character suited the story and contributed to the group dynamic well - even Ezra who, at first, I found to be a little grating.

Also, I love the stormtroopers. Though it happens infrequently, you do get a few funny quips from them that got me grinning - namely the "Wait. You did all this... for fruit?!" line, and the exasperated reaction of the TIE docking guard trooper who, for the second time in the series, had to try and keep Sabine (aka. "The Artist") away from the TIEs (which she had a tendency to blow up).

- Stormtrooper to ISB

Yeah, at least with the stormtroopers it makes sense for them to spout some oddball lines, since they're actual people. One of my (many) problems with TCW was that the B1 battle droids would spout similar lines, ignoring the fact that the rank and file (who were the ones making said remarks) were all remotely controlled.

Wasn't too impressed at first, but it quickly grew on me, especially after the episode with Master Luminara.

I think after Naboo the B1s no longer were remotely controlled. TCW was 10 years later:

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/B1_battle_droid

"Early battles involving the droids required a central computer for the droids to "think" from, but this was mostly removed post-Battle of Naboo after an attack destroyed the mainframe stationed there, resulting in all the droids on the planet being deactivated."

IIRC, they further explained this by noting that the independent B1s were so incompetent with their base programing, Grievous forbid them from being mind-wiped in hopes they would gain some skills with battlefield experience. This they did, but such experience had the side effect of needing more processor power which, in turn, started 'borrowing' processing from the only remaining hardware - their vocabulator. This, of course, occasionally bleeds over to 'saying' what their 'thinking' because they are literally using their voice to think.

I found Asajj and Ahsoka to be much the same: Very grating. At least at the beginning. But by the end of the series, they had become two of my favorite Star Wars characters - if not my two most favorite Star Wars characters.

I just hope that they don't make Ahsoka a throw-away to make things "dark" and "gritty".

In one of the episodes of The Clone Wars a couple of B1s actually discuss this very thing. I think it was Season 1.

"Those old Battledroids were centrally controlled, but we're not like them! We're independent thinkers!"

"Roger-roger."

"Roger-roger."
