Rebels Star Wars: Rebels

[CrypticOne]

Is that traditional art? I like that a lot. As beautiful as some of the cgi animation is, I wouldn't mind seeing a star wars cartoon in the traditional 2D art style.

Yeah, the first Clone Wars cartoon was pretty cool, I thought. But they're probably past that now. Would be cool if they made one for the Old Republic.

Having only really watched the movies, and 2 episodes of the clone wars, I'm not as big as starwars buff as some people on here. Is there a possibilty there are more Jedi alive that we did not know about from the OT? Perhaps that Yoda didn't want to mention in fear of Luke turning bad and giving up their location to his father.


Now, if you know the answer to this..would my next question of asking of who would be more of a Jedi..Luke or the other guys? How are the rankings done/who would determine them in the jedi order.

Good questions. We don't have enough information.

I think it's far likelier, though, that Yoda was the last Jedi come ESB. The old Expanded Universe was wiped from canon. There were a lot of oddball Force-sensitive characters to answer for before then (Starkiller clone, for example).

 

[Grommers]

Makes sense, so did Disney pretty much come out and say that anything aside from the real life movies..and now star wars rebels is the real deal to the starwars universe or do other things still remain?

Who's in charge of making things canon/non-canon for star wars?

 

[Lobo]

Yeah they said the only canon is the movies, Clone Wars show, and Rebels. Also the new novels which have now begun with A New Dawn will be considered canon.

Kathleen Kennedy mainly

Are the new comics due out next year going to be canon as well?

What is Star Wars canon?

Lucasfilm policy is for there to be one cohesive and universal canon for Star Wars. The Star Wars canon (official continuity) is Star Wars: Episode I–IX, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Star Wars Rebels, upcoming new books, and other upcoming forms of new Star Wars entertainment. What was previously defined as the Star Wars Expanded Universe (EU) is not canon, but will serve as a resource that can be drawn from by new Star Wars entertainment creators.

The only thing I want to know is, is Boba alive or dead in canon?

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Dead until further notice. I guess it will depend on when the Boba Fett movie takes place.

Boba is being digested by the giant desert anus

 

[Lord Valumart]

So I rather enjoyed the first episodes. I disliked all the reviews that were essentially talking up Clone Wars and saying Rebels was ok, but not as good. I'd largely disliked Clone Wars for a number of reasons so I was getting a bit of a feeling of "well, this is gonna suck".

But it didn't! It did use music and images to remind me of how good the OT was, thus tricking me into enjoying it more than I probably should have, but hey, it was fun! I'll be watching again.

If this is set 10+ years after the prequel movies than the Jedi character probably has very little formal training. He's presumably a trainee (I cringe at the word "youngling") who escaped.

The only Jedi who escaped would be incredible badasses, and those no one noticed (not incredible badasses).

No, Luke really is the last of the Jedi by the time we get to Return of the Jedi. Yoda would've sensed if there were any surviving Jedi left around since he sensed all of them dying during Revenge of the Sith. The Emperor would've sensed it too just like how he sensed Luke in the Empire Strikes Back and he would've had his imperial troops scour through the galaxy to find these surviving Jedi.

As far as this show is concerned, Kanan will be the only Jedi we see that escaped (unless the TV producers decided to put Ahsoka Tano on the show because she managed to leave the Jedi Order before the order 66 massacre took place).

 

[Destructus86]

I'm a little concerned. I don't have Disney XD and I noticed Rebels is not available on Amazon to buy episodes...hopefully they show up after the first episode airs. :/

 

[Young Superman]

It's almost time.

 

[Young Superman]

I love the fact this show takes place ten years post ROTS and ten year pre ANH, there are so many story possibilities here.

Actually it's 14 years post, 5 years pre.

 

[Young Superman]

oh my bad, it still has a lot of story possibilities there.

 

[Thundercrack85]

Oh yeah.

Sorry, didn't meant to be a timeline Nazi.

 

[Sithborg]

Well, enjoyed it. Gave off a very OT vibe.

I loved that the stormtrooper survived the fall off the bridge, just like Kallus. At least, for a bit.

 

[Young Superman]

Agreed, love it.

 

[CrypticOne]

Loved it. Can't wait to see more.

Liked the way Zeb and Ezra bounced off each other. Could see them really becoming loyal and protective over another, given enough time. Loving all the main characters though. Want to know more about Sabine. The moment Kanan pulled out his light saber, I got chills. The way he just weaved through those blasters was straight up bada**! Definitely the highlight!

Yeah, as said before, there are so many story possibilities here, five years before A New Hope. I could see the show getting a lot darker, in terms of Kanan trying to train Ezra in the ways of the Jedi, and Ezra wanting more and maybe, way down the line, betraying Kanan. I could just catch glimpses of it. Or maybe I'm way off on that point.

All in all, a solidly good opening episode.
