That last episode of Rebels was swell, to say the least. And don't forgot the carrier the Rebels stole.

They brought Maul back...again. Is there no end to the limited imagination of these show designers?

The Show's designers are the biggest Star Wars nerds out there. They know and reference material from novels, old toys from the late seventies, the original concept art and stuff from the long forgotten role playing games. Also Maul was left alive at the end of the Clone Wars and made a slave by the Emporer, we knew he was coming back at some point. But to have him be a wild card in the storyline instead of a slave for the inquisitors is an interesting angle.

So mock it if you like but they are bigger fans than you ever will be.

How would you know how 'big' of a fan I am? And I'm not disputing the show's creators are starwars fans. But to bring back a character that was cut in two by a lightsaber before falling into a reactor core....might as well bring Palpatine back.

Well, it a space fantasy franchise in which people have survived worse. I mean Anakin lost his arm and legs and had lava splashed on him for good measure. Others can will themselves back from the dead as ghosts. The force does weird stuff. Also, even without the force angle (which is what they said kept him alive), Zabrak physiology could be different enough to survive something like that.

Truthfully, I am glad they brought him back because he was a cool design that was completely wasted in the movie. TCW actually gave him a personality and made him interesting.

So originally the idea of Maul coming back was not the Clone War's writers anyways, it is just one of those things that remained in the storyline. But what the Clone Wars writers did do was give Maul real character and goals separate and in conflict with everyone else. Darth Sidus is the corrupter and control freak of the Dark Side while Maul is its pure uncontrolled hatred and rage. Ezra is being tempted by both aspects of the Dark Side.

ships every six months??? It could very well be 10 months between wave 2 and 3. I could totally get on board with the small wave every 6 months, but unless gencon proves me wrong, it definitely appears that armada is an afterthought as far as FFG is concerned.

I am still trying to figure out how people are becoming bored. . . I am still learning and having a blast!

They hate Armada so much that they have to come to its official forums to make like Comic Book Guy: "Rest assured I was on the Internet within minutes registering my disgust throughout the world."

Like, they're supporting an almost year-round tournament schedule and it's obviously making them a ton of money, but people have to find something to be mad about, I suppose.

It is a space fantasy, but even DM coming back kinda ruins the verisimilitude.

Besides, if the design is cool, you can just do a prequel run (or heck even a flashback)

Maybe we should have a discussion on the Off Topic forum on Rebels. It is on many people's minds and there are different views on where the story is going, both good and bad.

Yeah, I'm not sure I like where they're going either. It's kind of a six of one, half dozen of the other?

I heard mention of how Ahsoka will eventually have to go because Rebels is not "her story." That we should know sooner or later she and all the Inquisitors will need to be worked out of the series as it draws closer to catching up with Episode IV, since none are mentioned in it or any of the films that follow it.

I find this explanation lacking, considering none of the original characters in Rebels have been mentioned in the films. More so since the films are extremely focused on one set of characters and events that surrounded just them. Heck, it's almost a given that without the Mon Cal homeworld and shipyards the Rebellion would have failed, yet their story is little more than an allude in the films. Clearly, plenty happened to billions of unseen, unnamed folks in the Star Wars universe. None of which we've heard about.

I think rather than try to claim they're not around in the time of the films, it would make more sense to say they are simply not relevant to the focus of the films.

--edited to remove potential spoilers--

Sorry about that!

Hi. Not all of us are caught up on Rebels. Please take it elsewhere.

Sorry, IDK why I got caught up on that.

Back to the topic, I don't think the game is stale yet. But I do think some more ships would be nice. I'd like more variation in the meta, and it's just nice to have new things. The transports are really cool, but I think they're just really lackluster compared to the last two waves. And you have to admit, new Armada products on the shelves of a store is a really good draw for new players. Especially if they look cool. Transports don't look particularly impressive, especially since X wing has them as well.

I think it wouldn't be so bad if we didn't have to wait so long for the waves
