Another really boring episode. That’s the problem of the show. They’re trying to be kid friendly and as a result most of the episodes are just boring.

So, I’m not the only one who finds Rebels supremely underwhelming after all.

Most recent episode, Legends of the Lasat… man, it was awful. Generic sci fi filler.

Agreed. i felt like i was watching the entirety of Battlestar Galactica (2003) in one short episode. Even the music seemed the same. Certainly didn’t fit Star Wars IMHO.

Once again Agent Careless is fooled for the last time

Well, it’s a good think I stopped watching while it was still, good, I guess…?

Ezra and Kanan end the episode riding Hyperspace-travelling Whale-Squids whilst exposed in deep space wearing nothing but their normal clothes and stormtrooper helmets

Wait, that was a Futurama parody of Moby Dick, was that seriously also a plot of a Rebels episode ? 😃

Whale filler! I’m still not sure why the Ghost was out of fuel on their mission to steal fuel for the fleet. Was the whole fleet dead in space already?

I mean, I’m still enjoying the show for the most part, but they seem to be treading water like Season One of Agents of SHIELD, I wonder if something big is coming they have to wait for…

I’m just waiting until The Old Master turns up. Hopefully part of the origins of The Knights of Ren and/or Supreme Leader Snoke are shown. If not at least we’ll get Ahsoka vs Vader.

If you haven’t, you should check out the trailer for this half of the season. There’s some intense stuff coming…

Anyone else see the rumor that they’re planning to bring Thrawn into the mix next season? I didn’t actually read any of the articles when the story broke a few weeks back so I have no idea how legit the source was, but I’ve always thought that if they were going to re-canonize a Legends character wholesale, he’d probably be the easiest to insert into the new timeline. I figured that him being the mysterious fleet admiral at the end of Aftermath was probably wishful thinking, but if there’s any truth to this I think that’s almost definite. The Aftermath sequel comes out well before this is supposedly slated to happen on Rebels, so it wouldn’t be a huge reveal, but I’m pretty excited about the prospect of him turning up in a couple of different places in the timeline so quickly. He’s really the only Legends character that I regretted being stricken from the canon (well, maybe Kyle Katarn and everything that happened in Jedi Knight, but that was so tangential to the main storyline that its canonicity isn’t so relevant).

And speaking of Aftermath, I’m actually pretty surprised that Rae Sloane hasn’t turned up on Rebels yet. It’s only a matter of time.

I’ve read the Thrawn rumours. Honestly, my feelings on the idea are mixed.

I’ve never cared for his turn as a Jedi but I’d LOVE to see mercenary Kyle Katarn show up.

Finally, after many shitty episodes a good one. But it’s funny they had to rip off several Star Trek episodes to make a good Star Wars episode 😃

Yes i think the last one was pretty good. interesting that they are going for blurring the lines between good and bad at this point. very ‘New Star Wars’ if you ask me. i like it.

This is probably a side-effect of all the OT stuff i have been thinking about lately, but i couldn’t help but notice a few things in this episode that i wanted to point out:

  1. The escape pod had steering controls. Of course that doesn’t mean that all escape pods have controls, however i found this interesting in comparison to the heated discussions over whether R2-D2 was controlling the escape pod at the begging of ANH.
  2. I am so tired of the whole angle on Droids being the only things capable of controlling any of the automated systems of the Empire… Reminds me of why i was glad that TFA had Rey opening the doors, even though it led to the Rathtar’s escape.

This new episode was so much better, but what the hell did they do the designs of Yoda and Anakin?

Author
Time

Didn’t mind Anakins but Yoda … Not too sure which is better original Ep 1 puppet or this rendering.

Great episode though. It had everything that the season has been lacking so far.

SPOILER

Even had a lump in my throat at the end when Ashoka turns and waves back at Yoda.
