Rebels Season 4

By mcworrell, in Star Wars: Armada Off-Topic

Danger: spoilers.

I’m deeply bothered that Thrawn put an Arquitens right behind the bridge of an ISD. Surely that was avoidable. The Empire probably lost as many personnel as the Rebels.

(I’m not saying he’s not a genius, just that it felt a little ooc not to space out the fleet properly.)

How do you file that claim with insurance?

Nobody would ever insure Rebels-era Arquitens anyway... they die when someone sneezes at them.

I've got to say I've been toying around with watching rebels, never quite sure whether it'll float my boat or not. It seems to be well liked, but I'm always skeptical about animation. Too often I find it light on story and character development. Not saying all but many.

In all fairness - What do you have to lose by trying?

EDIT: Let me rephrase. What " important things " do you have to lose by trying?

That way, Sanity and Hope for the Future don't count.

I watched it, and I learned helicopter lightsabers are canon now. Still trying to recover from that. In fairness, there’s stuff to like about it. Thrawn, Kallus, sweet fighter paint jobs, etc. I do miss TCW, though.

As I said, Sanity and Hope for the Future are, basically, irrelevant.

But considering everyone who performs the trick is dead, well. I doubt we'll see it again.

It's good but you do have to keep in mind that it's made for kids

Young Adults.

A Subtle, but Significant difference.

Now you've gone and done it. You've all but insured that we will now see helicopter lightsaber boarding Troopers in an episode. And then we'll have to have them in Armada.

That would mean getting something new For Armada

Problem. Freaking. Solved.

The cure can be worse than the disease, you know. I'm now certain Helicopter Lightsaber Boarding Troopers will be included in the Commander Binks Expansion Pack. Coming "soon" to a FLGS near you.

We’d still get an article for it.

It would probably all be written in a thick Gungan accent. "Weesa beein mosta proud to presenta you with..." And that's when you know that FFG is actively trying to kill their own game.

IIRC, the x-wing is actually being produced by rebel factories (rather than stolen), right?

I don't think that's been stated either way at this point in time.

Anyone feel that the "force wolves" thing from a few episodes back is kinda hokey/cheesy? It sounds to me a bit like they introduced Thrawn and then realized he was too good, so they had to make up these force-sensitive powerful beings who inexplicably like the Rebels...

You see, "like" the Rebels, I think is going a step too far for them.

Not unlike the Bendu, I think these will be aligned with the force for lack of a better reason - ones in the middle, balanced.

Its only because the Empire is currently ****** and pillaging their world that they give a Crap. Which is why they were basically considered somewhat rare and even mythological before - they didn't need help.

No, I know they were introduced because Filoni really likes wolves but I'm willing to let him have that if he keeps making mostly good stuff.

I wish rebels was better, but at least we know the best character and Chopper survive all the way till after the battle of Endor
