Man, I just watched a clip of Rebels, and the style of everything is complete shit. Every surface is oversimplified. All the sets look like they were designed by Playskool/Tonka and the costumes look vomitously childish, in friendly colors with pointless straps and pouches everywhere - “Hey kids! Check out these ADVENTURERS®!”.
And what’s with the goatees? Why do people still put that on a character to make them “cool”? I’m surprised they didn’t add a “space fedora” to the costume >_<;;
On the flipside, the action and writing didn’t seem bad right away.
I’m probably going to watch this too, just to see what happens with Ahsoka, but I am not looking forward to it. This is going to be hard to get through.
I’m really wishing the entire series isn’t just going to be about the crew of the Ghost. Maybe branch off into anthology territory instead of solely focusing on them. Also agree everything is far too oversimplified but if it takes them shorter to make the Seasons compared to The Clone Wars then eh, whatever.
Really hoping for more Tarkin and less kid friendly plots. Still disliking the aspect ratio chosen for the show. One caveat is I’ve already mentioned they’re using a lot of Ralph McQuarrie’s designs but rather they have more detail in the CG for everything.
Also noticed some users on here have made custom Blu-rays of certain arcs for The Clone Wars. Still should browse around for them.
