The Jabbawookie 5,610 Posted November 15, 2017 Danger: spoilers. I’m deeply bothered that Thrawn put an Arquitens right behind the bridge of an ISD. Surely that was avoidable. The Empire probably lost as many personnel as the Rebels. (I’m not saying he’s not a genius, just that it felt a little ooc not to space out the fleet properly.) 1 GhostofNobodyInParticular reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Noosh 1,295 Posted November 15, 2017 I've got to say I've been toying around with watching rebels, never quite sure whether it'll float my boat or not. It seems to be well liked, but I'm always skeptical about animation. Too often I find it light on story and character development. Not saying all but many.

In all fairness - What do you have to lose by trying? EDIT: Let me rephrase. What "important things" do you have to lose by trying? That way, Sanity and Hope for the Future don't count.

The Jabbawookie 5,610 Posted November 15, 2017 I watched it, and I learned helicopter lightsabers are canon now. Still trying to recover from that. In fairness, there’s stuff to like about it. Thrawn, Kallus, sweet fighter paint jobs, etc. I do miss TCW, though. 1 thestag reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Democratus 1,698 Posted November 17, 2017 IIRC, the x-wing is actually being produced by rebel factories (rather than stolen), right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ImperialCaptain2017 230 Posted November 19, 2017 Anyone feel that the "force wolves" thing from a few episodes back is kinda hokey/cheesy? It sounds to me a bit like they introduced Thrawn and then realized he was too good, so they had to make up these force-sensitive powerful beings who inexplicably like the Rebels... 1 The Jabbawookie reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drasnighta 26,831 Posted November 19, 2017 (edited) You see, "like" the Rebels, I think is going a step too far for them. Not unlike the Bendu, I think these will be aligned with the force for lack of a better reason - ones in the middle, balanced. Its only because the Empire is currently ****** and pillaging their world that they give a Crap. Which is why they were basically considered somewhat rare and even mythological before - they didn't need help.

No, I know they were introduced because Filoni really likes wolves but I'm willing to let him have that if he keeps making mostly good stuff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
