I've watched random episodes of Rebels over the years, but watched the last few in preparation for the finale. Didn't feel lost or confused at all.

Also, could Disney and Amazon stop with their petty feud? I'd like to preorder The Last Jedi on Blu-ray kthxbye.

I might give Rebels a shot since Xfinity has the whole series for streaming. I watched Clone Wars a handful of times but wasn't super engaged, although I didn't dislike it either. Read about some of the later stuff sounds like hilariously absurd fanfiction. Does Rebels have that kind of shit?

They brought back Darth Maul and gave him robot legs, so kinda.

I don't know if that's in REBELS, but it's from CLONE WARS.

Maul came back in TCW, first with spider legs, then with inverted legs before getting normal robot legs. He took over Mandalore but got sheeved and went on the run trying to find a way to defeat Palpatine leading him to a Sith temple with an ancient superweapon in Rebels.

His duel with Obi-Wan in Rebels is one of the best duels in the franchise.

After watching S1 of Rebels I decided maybe I should give TCW a chance again since it seems like some plot lines and characters are going to carry over. Surely it's better when you have the chronological order and which filler eps to skip, right?

I managed without watching TCW. That show never grabbed me outside the first few episodes. Weird because I hear a lot of people say that TCW is the better show overall. But I always liked the crew of the Ghost more than Kenobi, Skywalker and that obnoxious apprentice.

Though I suppose not watching TCW lessens the emotional impact of the Rebels season 2 finale. I mean I read up on a few things on wookiepedia but that ain't the same...

desert punk · « **Reply #3088 on:** March 07, 2018, 08:44:47 AM »

Lol no, I'm slow as fuck when it comes to watching tv shows, even with stuff that I like

I'm halfway through season 3 now. Nothing of importance really happened but otherwise it's good. There wasn't a bad episode so far; even the one with Hondo was watchable. God what an annoying little cunt he is, though the writers seem to think he's hot stuff, so I guess he'll make a comeback again sooner than later.

I have to give them props for how they're handling Thrawn. I was sceptical at first at seeing him in what is basically a show for kids. But considering these restrictions, they really nailed him so far. Excactly how I imagined him when reading the Thrawn trilogy decades ago. And his voice actor does a great job in conveying the character.

Think I'm gonna buy me that new Thrawn novel that Zahn wrote. It's a prequel to his Rebels appearance.

Quote

Lucasfilm is excited to announce that Emmy-nominated producer and actor Jon Favreau has signed on to executive produce and write a live-action Star Wars series for Disney’s new direct-to-consumer platform. Favreau is no stranger to the Star Wars galaxy having played roles in both the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series and in the upcoming Solo: A Star Wars Story.

“I couldn’t be more excited about Jon coming on board to produce and write for the new direct-to-consumer platform,” says Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy. “Jon brings the perfect mix of producing and writing talent, combined with a fluency in the Star Wars universe. This series will allow Jon the chance to work with a diverse group of writers and directors and give Lucasfilm the opportunity to build a robust talent base.”

Favreau is thrilled to be returning to the Star Wars galaxy: “If you told me at 11 years old that I would be getting to tell stories in the Star Wars universe, I wouldn’t have believed you. I can’t wait to embark upon this exciting adventure.”

Where does all this talk of it taking risks and being "transgressive and subversive" come from?

Partly from a subset of critics who strangely found it to be that ( I don't agree) and partially from weirdos who wanted a very specific version of Star Wars and find the Last Jedi to be blasphemy. One side means it as a positive and the other side as a negative.

I don't think very many normal people actually felt that way at all. I think they just liked or disliked the movie like any other movie without being hyperbolic on it.

It did nothing any other movie or anime hasn't done a thousands times before but because its star wars and people view that as a very conservative franchise, normal storytelling techniques are viewed as nearly revolutionary.

Like snoke or rey's parents.

or just don't know how to say they didn't care for it and are making up reasons to justify their feelings.

It's a variation on this but close enough imo.

There is a weird ownership thing that's goes on in these franchises where people suddenly pretend they are a codified thing from the beginning to the end of time and if you break certain rules then it ain't Star Wars anymore

So instead of just saying I didn't like the movie because of X,Y, Z reasons which would be fine, it has to be elevated to this destroyed Star Wars level of argumentation and it broke the intricate puzzle piece that was Star Wars when its always been a series that makes it up as it goes along.

It's absurd of course coming off the prequels (which kinda did break Star Wars but we'll ignore that because it kind of muddles the point) as the new trilogy isn't nearly incompetent enough to take this stance. Even Rogue One which I'm not a fan of doesn't rise to that level. It's a poor movie imo for movie reasons but its not out of line with Star Wars. It's just unnecessary.

For me it was less "IT MADE NO SENSE" and more like each time it stretched credulity a little bit further, to the point where I started getting annoyed towards the end.

On top of that the Finn/Rose stuff was terrible, the casino planet subplot was filler, and I just didn't buy into Luke's turn from the end of the OT despite it leading to a more potentially interesting narrative.

TLJ was bad. Not like, cosmically, childhood-rapingly bad, but not good, either.
