treybert 893 Posted March 5, 2015 All I can say is that my Storm Troopers equipped with Savage Weaponry makes the Rebels cry. But I do understand. It's a kids show with a very small ensemble of heroes. You can't very well have good guy losses without having an army of disposables (ie clones). They have been slowly growing up the series though. I did not see the double beheadings coming. 1 DariusAPB reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robin Graves 6,054 Posted March 5, 2015 What? Beheadings? dafuq? I tought that only happened on the news... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Tenzer 301 Posted March 5, 2015 (edited) Tja, beheadings are pretty Pop these days! I agree with Filoni, that it's neccessary to avoid a situation where the constant grimdark of a setting snuffs out the fun of a series (GOT is the best example for it). Nevertheless I'd still love to see the crew loose really painfully for once (somewhere in the second season) to the empire by loosing a living teammember for good due to betrayal or death, just to show how dangerous the Empire is for the team. After all the struggle and following rise of their beloved characters after a crushing defeat is what viewers want to see. Yet I am quite confident in the production team to keep up with their style and logical story progression (which sometimes has an even Tarantinoesque build-up = Tarkins Interview) to make us both enjoy the heorics and dread the dangers our heroes have to face.

Beyondsadistic 4 Posted March 6, 2015 I finally got to watch the finale last night and holy crap.. ..I haven't been so excited for cartoon since Transformers! The lightsaber fight was great, the writing was fantastic. A felt a few episodes drug a little, but this was just really impressive. Ahsoka I already knew was coming which meh, but whatever. I truly enjoyed it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DariusAPB 6,925 Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) A-wings aren't a post-Yavin fighter anymore apparently. They never were, an earlier incarnation the R-22 spearhead - also called the A-wing was around at least a year before yavin. - this said, 6 years before yavin is pushing it a bit.

Considering the number of Prototype A-Wings I keep seeing played on a regular basis, not really. And it's only 5 years before Yavin, not 6....now 4 if you count each season of Rebels covering a years time. Edited March 7, 2015 by zathras23 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Either way if we go by the X-wing games they were defo around before yavin. I had however only assumed a year or two before. Esp as I was working on the assumption that the A-wing came after the X, and the X was only like a year before yavin. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Tenzer 301 Posted March 7, 2015 Maybe we should loosen up on the previously established canon in favour of the actual Lucas-Disney one all right... 2 VanorDM and DariusAPB reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They never were, an earlier incarnation the R-22 spearhead - also called the A-wing was around at least a year before yavin. - this said, 6 years before yavin is pushing it a bit. Yeah actually the R-22-Spearhead first appeared in 15 BBY. They were in the series premiere of the Droids cartoon set in 15 BBY which aired in 1985. But for some reason West End Games stated that the A-Wing was developed in the aftermath of Yavin.when they got the RPG license a couple of years later. And then the A-Wing appeared before Yavin again in the X-Wing PC game. All of this led to the creation of the R-22 Spearhead which was nicknamed the A-wing to explain the pre-Yavin appearances of A-Wing like craft. The same was true of the H-60 Tempest and the B-Wing except the H-60 Tempest didn't appear until the second episode of Droids and the only craft named B-Wing to appear in X-Wing was the actual A/SF-01 B-Wing.
