In the Gathering Forces episode it looked like they animated garbage mattes onto a few of the tie-fighter shots. Did anyone else notice this?

Yeh, i noticed that, especially when the TIEs were approaching from the stardestroyers

Yea I thought I saw some too. I tried to look for them in the subsequent TIE shots but I couldn't see any.

Took a snapshot and raised the gamma and there definitely is something there that doesn't appear in any of the other shots, as far as i can see (Click on image to see larger version)

Maybe they rendered the scene too dark, then decided it was cheaper to do a messy lightening in post rather than re-render.

How 'Star Wars Rebels' earns an A+ on the Bechdel test
Interesting.

I know I'm really late to the party on this. My cable company inexplicably added Disney XD and a lot of other channels a few days ago, so I was able to watch the marathon this weekend. (Alas in SD, and sometimes not even letterboxed.) This show is a lot of fun! Seeing background aliens and vehicles right out of the Kenner toy line just makes me smile. Not to mention the Star Tours references.
The prequel references are subtle. Little things like a clone trooper helmet sitting behind a bar is how you acknowledge them without hitting viewers over the head. The abandoned Clone Wars era base with it's derelict vehicles was cool too.
Speaking of that cantina, Imp propaganda running on the viewscreen has got to be a Holiday Special reference. ;)
The only nit I can pick is most of the Imperial officers so far are really too far into being two dimensional mustache twirling dastards. It's a bit jarring after TCW, and it's many shades of gray. And what is up with the one's who look more like the undead?
Disney could have really neutered this, so it's refreshing to see Stormies getting it, sometimes even at point blank range. The potential for this show to get darker later on is certainly there. Dead Jedi as bait is pretty grisly and sad, and Ezra's inadvertent brush with the dark side was handled well.
There is an interesting theory as to the identity of the mysterious Fulcrum. (Someone has played around with the voice to remove the distortion.) I won't spoil it here.
And Chopper is such a little bastard! ;)

Another thought. The rogue senator who pulls a Max Headroom during official Imperial broadcasts looks amazingly like David Niven. It can't be a coincidence?

New clip of Yoda ( voiced by Frank Oz) contacting Kanan in an upcoming episode

I think they did an excellent job of working him in that way.
They also released another clip that explains what Kanan is doing there.
Which is interesting in that it seems to contradict what they established in the Clone Wars. With Yoda discovering the cave on Dagobah to complete his training from the warrior in the PT to the wise sage in the OT.
Which is fine by me really. I had always thought there were these kinds of places throughout the galaxy that Jedi would go to as part of their training. Yoda using one to mask his presence.

Multiple temples and competing schools would be really interesting. I wish we had seen more of that in the old EU.

^Or in the PT, for that matter. The whole "ten thousand Jedi living and training in a single temple on Coruscant" was just all shades of stupid.

I would not mind if the Republic got younger and there were many states before 1000 BY with force users doing diverse things. If pigs could fly i would still prefer the old continuity of course.

Finally caught up with this series on demand, hadn't watched an episode since Rise Of The Old Masters.
Wow, this show has just gotten better with almost every episode. I'm already really enjoying the show, and so glad to see a few TCW nods as well.
Just watched Path Of The Jedi on demand, and it was a big character development episode for Ezra. The one thing I couldn't help but think about while I was watching it, was how simmilar it seemed to the final arc w/ Yoda covering the force, it was almost like this was a follow up to it.
All-in-all this show has been great considering how the shows only at the first half of it's first season. All the experience Filoni and his team had on TCW is paying off, since we don't have to start a series nearly as bad.

Yeah, the glowy speck things Yoda used to guide Ezra were just like the glowy speck things Qui-Gon's spirit used to guide Yoda in those last few TCW episodes. Nice touch.

Just noticed that the Ridonium from the Out Of Darkness episode is also from the Clone Wars, contained in the same looking canisters, most notably being used as a way of exploding a ship in Point Of No Return from Season 5.
All TCW references are perfect, subtle and not in your face.

Ezra's lightsaber seems to have some kind of extra mechanism to it besides potentially being a stapler or hot glue gun

I still haven't gotten over the fact that there's a Star Wars character with the same name as I.
I wonder how many people I knew in elementary/high school watch this cartoon and have been reminded of me as a result. For some, I hope it spoils their enjoyment of the show. >=D

Yoda seems eager to let major issues slide with Ezra that he is very critical of with Luke. I guess his metamorphisis into a crank is only about 65% complete by this point.

LOL, no. My real name's Ezra, same as the character in Rebels.

Ezra's lightsaber reminds me a little of the ones that came with the original Kenner large size Luke and Obi Wan figures. They had to able to fit on the hands of those Barbie and Ken style bodies they used at the time.
