So, for about the 2 users here who actually watch something Star Wars related besides the Original Trilogy,  what'd you think of the first season of Rebels? Better than expected? Didn't meet up to your standards?

For me, the show started out a bit slow. There wasn't much character development for the minor supporting characters like Hera and Sabine, and didn't seem to have much at all throughout the season. Overall though, the season was enjoyable, and to compare to the first season of it's predecessor, The Clone Wars, I feel Rebels achieved a far better story telling experience. Here's  to hoping that trend continues it's way into season 2.


My favorite episode of the season has to be Fighter Flight though. While this wasn't a very story centric episode, it helped expand on the relationship between Ezra and Zeb, and also gave us a great tour/view of Lothal's cities and surface. While, technically, While I did enjoy the other episodes better, they were mostly just stories we've heard before told differently. Fighter Flight is jsut a fun little short, showing the background of Lothal, which I really liked.

"There are some things that are worse than death" -The Inqusitor

That quote has stuck with me, one of the few I can remember form the show actually. I'm sure it has some deeper meaning and foreshadowing. Or maybe he meant upsetting Palaptine is worse than death.

Also Rebels kept me more interested than The Clone Wars. I think I barely finished season 2 on Netlflix. There are just so many episodes that are nothing more than "trade negotiations".

I see where you come from. I like the political stuff though. Not every part of a war is fought on the battlefield. It's especially funny though to see how Lucas uses the Star Wars Senate to reflect his views on The War on Terror. As he said in a commentary once, "Bush is Vader and Chaney is the Emperor".

Yeah, I just remember one episode I saw recently where Jar Jar and Bail Organa went to the homeland of the Toydarians. It was godawful.

Yeah, are you watching in Chronological order though? Because that should've been the 4th episode or so that you saw ( gets it out of the way early at least).

Yeah, on Netflix. They must have the order screwed up. Maybe I should just skip season 3, because I know Maul returns in 4. I just want to see Clones being badass too.

No, don't. 

If you hate political stuff, skip HALF of season 3. Literally, all that happens is Padme tries to get assassinated (again), pointless Mandalore politics ( there was a corrupt leader) and Ahsoka met Lux Bonteri, who is a Seperatist senator (you meet him again in Season 4)

Skip up to Season 3 Episode 12. Then the Maul plot starts to form, and you get some mystical Chosen one shit, and some badass clone stuff, which then become important for the Bad Batch Arc in Season 7 that will be released later.

EDIT: Make sure you watch the first 2 episodes of Season 3 though, those are clone centric.

It's Star Wars.  Clone Wars characters do return,  but it's all Star Wars. Not really a continuation, just telling of a story in the canon universe.
