Yeah. The sabers really got to me. As well of the ridicules decision to to make vader's eyes red. That alone makes no sense. I can understand the funny warping effect of his actual helmet but the red eyes??? Dumb. If Lucas wanted his eyes red he would have vader eyes red in EBS and ROTJ and even ROTS
Check out the "birth of Vader" scene in ROTS. They deliberately had his visual eye display as bright red to match his ANH "red lens". Yet for some unknown reason, they chose not to use the red lenses in the ROTS helmet, but went with a more ROTJ yellow lens. As this show is to bridge the gap between ROTS & ANH, as is set just a few years before ANH, it certainly isn't a "dumb" move to have him with the red lenses.

The show looks really stupid though.
The show is actually pretty good. The opening episode of season 2 was a great episode

You know there are a lot of other forums out there where it is a bitch fest about the direction to use fencing type sabers. I think I will take this there.
And most of that bitching is because they don't even realise that the whole show is stylised on the original McQuarrie/ Johnston designs. The Clone wars characters were stylised on the Thunderbirds puppets qand they never seemed to mind that series so much. At least Rebels is based upon the look of something actually connected to the Star Wars universe and it's development, not just ripped off from a kids puppet show
