General Star Wars Random Thoughts Thread — Page 305

Nah, real star wars movies are coming out now. I don’t need a kids show to get my Star Wars fill.

They actually are doing a better job with the cartoons than with the movies. But so far season 3 is very weak (I haven’t watched the last 2 episodes yet, but “Ghosts of Geonosis” was quite bad and very cheap), the new showrunner is not as good as Dave Filoni. Looking forward to watching his next series.

So, is it really worth checking out Rebels? Does it deal with some mature themes, or is it overtly kiddie?

I would say… both. Not everything is good about the show, but a few episodes really pay off. I would suggest to watch the complete first season and the overture of season 2; if you don’t like that don’t bother to go any further (the middle of season 2 is boring, it gets better a handful of episodes before the ending season). Season 3 is a huge disappointment which barely uses the finale of season 2 and which goes in another direction of stand-alone tiresome episodes. It’s however important to be familiar with the previous series, The Clone Wars, otherwise you wouldn’t appreciate Ahsoka and Rex story arcs.

Thanks MalaStrana, for the info. Hmm, well, I guess I need to continue with 3D Clone Wars. I stopped somewhere in season 2.

I got the first 2 season on Bluray, in the original book cases. I recently saw the complete collection at Walmart, it looked tempting, and a lot cheaper than buying the remaining 3-4 seasons.

Mala gave Rogue One a rating of zero out of ten, so independent of her rating of Rebels, I’d just keep that in mind.

I hope the moderators put an end to this kind of petty, vindictive, and childish posting.

This is a General Star Wars Random Thoughts thread and you appear to be the only one who is currently off-topic. If you could allow the thread to remain focused on that subject it would be most appreciated.

After watching the OT and TFA this I have a few things to day:

• STAR WARS improves slightly with every viewing and the stretch when C3P0 and R2 crash on Tatooine is more enjoyable this time around

• Unfortunately I feel the exact opposite for Return of The Jedi as I’m less satisfied every time I watch it and the Ewok segment was pretty brutal this time around

• After not seeing TFA since May I have the say the movie definitely holds up

Don’t worry Alderaan, Pepe the Frink means well, he can’t be as bad as he seems. He just wants to be noticed, it’s cute in a way.

Also not on-topic, please stick to general Star Wars thoughts. Thanks.

I’m personally pretty indifferent to ROTJ at this point.

Which is an indictment of it as the conclusion of the OT.

Yup. Especially ROTJ.

Beyond the Luke/Vader/Papatine stuff I think the film is more entertaining than well written.

Using them as merely as a distraction and cutting screentime would fix the issue with the Ewoks. My biggest issue with them is that when watching them I know there could have been something more substantial in their place. And I’m not speaking them being replaced by a new species; I’m talking about character development, character interactions or generally fleshing out the story. If so much time wasn’t spent on the Ewoks we could have gotten scenes where Luke actually completes his training.

I’m not crazy about the title. I’m not sure why, I didn’t mind TFA, or even any of the prequel titles, but something about “the last Jedi” just sounds like the title of a crappy fan film.
