Rebels Star Wars: Rebels - Part 1

[CrypticOne]

I feel like Path of the Jedi was a setup for TFA. Just in the case of all these temples. I'm thinking the Sith have a lot of temples laying around too. I know Yoda found that one in TCW, but maybe that's where our villain in TFA gets all these relics, according to rumors.

 

[Sithborg]

I enjoyed "Path of the Jedi". The dream massacre caught me off guard. I guess there's your darkness if you want it. Still, nice little cave trial for Ezra. Enjoyed it. Plus, the Inquisitor's saber design comes off less goofy and a bit more of a practical gimmick when used like it was against Kanan. Really liking how they animate the saber blades in this, as well.

Plus, it's always good to get crazy hermit Yoda. I missed how he was portrayed in ESB.

 

[Lobo]

Crazy hermit Yoda is the best lol.

 

[Human Torch]

Eh,not entirely sold on this episode. Yoda communicates with Kanan...why exactly? I mean, Yoda's not even dead at this point. Why doesn't he send out a "mental call" for all Jedi,if it's that easy and rally the remaining troops?

But it gave them an excuse to give Oz a call,so kudos for that.

I was never crazy about the concept that Jedi's go through hell to get a crystal for their saber to begin with. I know it makes a saber seem more "earned",but at the rate they go through sabers,it makes a trip to a temple for a replacement seem a weekly if not daily occurrence.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

The easy answer is Yoda can't call out to the Jedi. What made it possible was the temple, which like the cave on Dagobah, is a focal point of the Force. So when they went in, Yoda felt it and could communicate.

On the crystal front, while I agree that Jedi do seem to lose their sabers with ease, I think of two things. One, replacement crystals are "provided". Second and most useful, just because a saber is destroyed doesn't mean the crystal inside is. Actually seems more likely the crystal would be fine. Just got to build a replacement hilt.

 

[Hunter Rider]

The location of the Jedi Temple looked a bit like one of the locations scouted for Episode VII. I thought it was an ok ep and a necessary part of Ezra's journey, and it is always great to hear Yoda.

 

[Great Mind(s)]

Wow anyone watch Idiot's Array??

 

[MagnarTheGreat]

I watched it.

Hope people like [blackout]Lando[/blackout], 'cause there's a lot of him in this episode heh.

 

[antsman41]

How did you see the new episode, it's next week right?

 

[MagnarTheGreat]

It airs on Disney XD TV channel on the 19th. It's popping up on various video-on-demand services the past couple of days though. That's how I watched it, it showed up on my service.

 

[antsman41]

Boo you haha... surprised it hasn't been leaked to certain websites then.

 

[MagnarTheGreat]

Here's some events from Idiot's Array.

Spoiler

* Lando has a big, big role in this episode. He is voiced by Billy Dee Williams.
* Zeb loses the card game to Lando. Lando wins Chopper...for the time being.
* Lando travels on the ship with the Ghost crew.
* Ezra gets jealous of the all the compliments Lando is giving Sabine.
* Hera accuses Lando of trying to intentionally divide and distract the crew.
* Ezra uses his new blaster/saber...well, just the blaster part.
* Chopper saves Zeb at the end from the villain.
* Lando owes them a favor since he doesn't have any credits. He gives Chopper back.
* Lando comments that they will meet again to Chopper after they leave Lando on the planet with his creature cargo.
* Lando knows they took his fuel. "'til we meet again" he waves the ship goodbye.

 

[Marvolo]

It's probably on XD.com. Episodes premiere on the website a week before they air on tv.

 

[MagnarTheGreat]

It's supposed to go up on WatchDisneyXD.com tomorrow.

 

[Jesse]

"Idiot's Array" wasn't great but it was a bit of fun plus it

Spoiler

sees the return of Billy Dee Williams as a young Lando Calrissian.

 

[Darth Sleifer]

Do'h... why...

 

[Sithborg]

And the point? He also didn't include Leia, even though he was starting to mention her. Yoda also isn't omnisicient.

 

[terry78]

Colt 45....for the coolest man in the galaxy.

 

[GamerSlyRatchet]

Early review for "Idiot's Array" is now up.

Will this be the last episode of the month? Kinda weird if it is.

 

[Great Mind(s)]

So technically, Yoda said that line 9-10 years after "Path of the Jedi"

 

[DarthSkywalker]

And the point? He also didn't include Leia, even though he was starting to mention her. Yoda also isn't omnisicient.

Why would he include Leia? Leia wasn't a Jedi.

There is an easy way to fix this. Either Ezra doesn't become a Jedi and Kanan dies, or they both die.

 

[Lobo]

Kanan never completed his training, so is he a Jedi? I see him more like Luke in ESB level.

 

[CrypticOne]

Plus, in ESB, Yoda tells Ghost Ben, "There is another."

Could mean Leia, could mean other things. Who knows.

 

[MagnarTheGreat]

Kasdan suggested to Lucas to have Luke killed off and have Leia take over for ROTJ.
