I kept waiting to see if anybody would start this thread...

Anybody watching?

 

It's been pretty good, better than The Clone Wars, only because TCW has Episode I, II, III, stink on it and Rebels has a more familiar look especially to us older folk.

 

so far Lando with the voice of BDW has shown up and guess who for the season finale?

Speaking of the prequels, I'm not particularly fond of them (they're alright, but the OT is obviously on another level), but they're still watchable.  Episode 1 is also a lot better than people give it credit for IMO... it's still better than Attack of the Clones.  Don't know why that one gets a free pass, yet everyone hates on The Phantom Menace.  Somewhere along the lines though I guess a huge circlejerk started over Episode 1 and Jar Jar.

 

That pod race scene, and the Darth Maul fight were two of the best scenes in the entire prequel trilogy.  It's also not as ridiculously CGI heavy like Episode 2 and 3.  Seriously, go rewatch them... 2 and 3 are damn near cartoons.

The last few years have been wrought with change for the Star Wars franchise, but by far the most drastic was the redefinition of the Star Wars canon by an official story group. The franchise’s timeline has been streamlined significantly, removing the Expanded Universe and leaving only Episode I-VI, Star Wars: The Clones Wars, and any subsequent media as the new, official canon.

The first of this new, canon-official material was Star Wars Rebels (and its tie-in novel, “A New Dawn”), an animated series set only five years prior to Episode IV: A New Hope, focusing on the early days of the rebellion. The series wrapped its first season earlier this week and during its (rather epic) season finale dropped a few major bombshells.


During the finale, “Fire Across the Galaxy”, the Inquisitor was killed (well, chose to die would be a better way of putting it); Ahsoka Tano was revealed to be both alive and Hera’s informant “Fulcrum”; and Darth Vader joined Grand Moff Tarkin in his effort to squash the emerging rebellion against the Empire.

To begin with, Ahsoka being not only alive but also running the fledgeling rebellion with Senator Bail Organa was a welcomed reveal to Clone Wars fans fearing the worst for the young Jedi. She arrived in the nick of time, too, rescuing the Lothal rebels from what would have been certain death at the hands of the Empire.

I really like this show.... my only two complaints were just how dumb the Imperials were made to be (which is quickly taken care of when Tarkin arrives) and the fact that the whole show revolved around one planet (which looked pretty dull). I think that problem will be resolved in season 2, since we will get to see more of the rebel alliance.

 

I was kinda bummed that the season finale happened on a Star Destroyer instead of on Mustafar itself. kind of a cock tease. And damn it, does every minor villain get killed way too soon (Inquizitor, Maul, Jango Fett, etc). The heros don't stand a chance against Vader though. If they aren't constantly running away from him next season I'm calling BS. 

 

As for poo pooing on the prequels.... (sigh) I hate to be this guy but reading the books set in that time period makes watching the movies more enjoyable (even though they aren't canon anymore). The book "Cloak of Deception" is 10x better than the Phantom Menace (the book is the prequel to the prequel) and it even makes the taxation of galactic trade routes interesting.

      Post Draft takes

      By rmoneyg35 · Posted

      I loved this draft. I think we have 3 starters out our first three picks. Maybe they take a year to develop but I don’t see them taking long.    I think Etiene is going to be a good back up. He’s only 20 so he has a lot to improve on.  I think we will see him be used on special teams this year. He won’t get many reps unless an injury happens because we got two 1,000 yard rb in front of him. I could see Ransom starting but I think he will probably be a back up, maybe playing special teams? I think hes probably got the lowest ceiling of all our drafted players. Cam Jackson will be a back up, probably not a lot of snaps this year. Could end up being a solid player for us.   I love the Mitchell Evans pick. He’s got potential to be our top TE. He had two different injuries that set him back in college but I think if he was healthy he would have been one of the top TE in the draft. I have even more faith in him because ND makes great tight ends. I don’t know if he will play much this year unless an injury happens though. Probably just a blocking TE this year.

      Smitty's pre-draft analysis of Nalo

      By Waldo · Posted

      Tet isn't Evens. He isn't as quick or uses his body as well, something Evans was known for in school. Tet catches well but he won't be the threat Evans is unfortunately IMO. It was like drafting Bryce and thinking your getting Wilson. Evans ran a 4.53 40, 7.08 3 cone, 4.26 shuttle and at the combine and not his proday. He was also 12 lbs heavier. If your expecting Evans your going to be disapointed unless you give Tet a bit of a discount on expectations IMO. Lol now it's saying they had Tet as a 4.48 at his proday when people were reporting 4.6+ at that time. It's going to be interesting to see what is real and what is BS. Proday numbers are so rounded in positive directions.
