a dishonest show for a dishonest audience

Clone Wars shouldn’t have died for this pile of shit.

It was alright. i hated how everyone bobbed back and forth whenever they talked. It was always the same way with everyone.

1/10

Didn't go for Starkiller Ezra

How did they manage to keep fucking up the season finales
Also Ahsoka being alive is getting stupid at this point

it was meh. it had some okay moments, but ruined by it's childish tone. maul, ezra's inner struggle, and jedi temple guards were good. final episodes were some serious asspull. glad it's over.

It was ok. A shame that its entire run became irrelevant after TLJ.

Stiff animation, ugly art style, donut steel characters, helicotper lightsabers and thrawn but shit

9/10

It suffered from a lack of redshirts

Needs more hentai art.

It was more than I ever expected we'd get after the Disney acquisition of Lucasfilms.

The Clone Wars got cancelled and there was little hope at the time we'd ever get any meaningful closure on a lot of the plots going on in it that wern't directly tied into Revenge of the Sith.
Going into it I don't think anyone had high expectations, it was common enough knowledge that that only reason why TCW looked as good as it did was because it was George's passion project and he wasn't afraid to put the money behind it.

So then we got the shorts, and I wasn't about to judge it on anything until after a season of the show had past. I was still raw from Beware the Batman getting sold off for a tax writeoff and that show had also gotten a raw deal since many viewed it as what killed Green Lantern the animated series or Brave and the Bold. That show was OK despite all the shit associated with it and didn't deserve the treatment it got.
So going from there, I was more than willing to give Rebels a lot of slack.

It started off slow, but it picked up about mid season. The Inquisitor was really carrying the season, everything the heroes had to do to survive against him made them become more likeable.
Ahsoka being revealed as Fulcrum was something everyone saw coming, but it gave the show more momentum since her being in it gave it some more solid ties to TCW and some hope that some of the loose ends would be addressed.

By season 2, things had gotten better, Rex joined the cast and I loved seeing how the old clones were getting on. The Clone Wars were like 'Nam for them, everyone got shafted by the end of it.
That also helped make Ezra a better character, going from some Aladdin knockoff to a kid with some discipline.
The additional Inquisitors were also good, I would've liked to have seen more of them.
Maul coming back at least finally shed some light on where the fuck he went after the comic adaptation of one of the unproduced arcs of TCWs.
cont.

I don't dislike it, but I think it was harmed by having the plot follow one group continuously through the whole thing. We always knew they weren't going to impact the movie plot, so Rebels would have benefited from being non-consecutive and wandering the way Clone Wars had been. Also Rebels was a bit overly sanitized, in the strange way that today's programming is fine with violence but hates sex.

I never bothered to watch it. There's absolutely no one there I care about.

Considering it being Disney's addition to Star Wars, very good.

Characters are compelling and now have a great step forward for the post-OT era, looking forward to see how it'll turn out.

Also very true to OG Star Wars and adds a lot to the lore on top of that.

Not-a-disaster/10

Will NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER EVER be even 2.5% on the same level as Clone Wars. (Both series)

But...it does have it's moments.

At least Maul finally died, his death was pretty good too.

When Thrawn showed up everyone was shitting themselves. I think everyone was worried that he'd be a jobber villain with how he kept losing on purpose as part of his bigger plans, then he crushed Chopper Base and would've killed them all if Tarkin didn't want to get his torture boner satiated by ordering him to capture the leaders alive.

I also never expected to see TIE Defenders brought back. That was a nice surprise.

I'd say over all it was a pretty OK series, slightly above average, and was able to get away with more than what I thought Disney would allow. Filoni running the show and actually being able to finish Rebels instead of getting shitcanned again made me happy at least.

>Considering it being Disney's addition to Star Wars

Disney had nothing to do with it outside of letting them air it on their channel. It was still made by the same team that made TCW.

I don't think anything from Disney will ever match Clone Wars' quality but Rebels was a good tribute.

It was good. I liked it.

BUT. I wish it did not have a cliffhanger ending. Now the SWAU will have direct ties to the sequel trilogy, and that makes me just a bit UPSET.

THEY ARE REAL TO ME

Did aladdin die?

No, he and Thrawn got sent through hyperspace into an unknown location.

Pretty good series, all things considered Top tier soundtrack that will never get a CD release. Ending was garbage, though, and several characters needed to die (back in season 1 in the case of pic related).

It was a show that took far too long to fit into the pair of shoes it was given and even when it did it still had days where it tripped. For every somewhat good episode there would be like three bad/boring episodes. Fans of the show didn't make it any better, some citing that nucanon is better than how ridiculous the eu was but then you turn around to see helicopter lightsabers.
The show was all over the place and the story lines never felt like they went anywhere of got stuck in places for too long. Like how Sabine got far more story time than other characters, being bogged down in the Mandolorian arc for many episodes.
Also have to deduct points for the Maul/Kenobi episode because of Ezra. Ezra is like the Steven Universe of Rebels in that he HAD to be there. It couldn't have just been a Maul and Obi-Wan have their final confrontation, it just had to tie back into Rebels. Like how many people complain that we never get an episode of Steven Universe without Steven, we had to have Ezra tag along for something fans have been waiting years to see.
It took Clone Wars a little bit to get better and Rebels just never improved that much. I'm not excited for whatever show comes next.

God, that was sick.

Sorry I've been drinking and felt conscious about my misspelling of "somewhat". Also I deleted that first one like an hour ago, you creepy necromancer.

You seem like you have watched this video, your complaints seem lifted from it.

Fuck what Yoda says, a bit of Dark Side™ every once in a while keeps you from losing.

I'll see if any of my points match his but you'll have to give me a bit, posting me a half our video to go over. But I will say it doesn't "Fucking suck". I just wish it was fucking better.

I was just curious, it seems these days like a lot of people watch videos and copy-paste what they say. If you've never seen it before, pay it no heed.

Grasping someone by the force isn't evil, unless it kills them.

How so?

Thank you for pointing this video out to me because I do enjoy a longer analysis type video. I don't want to come off as "it sucks fuck you" but I do want to voice my complaints, you know? Also the dude in that video kind of sounds like Steve Blum, so that's kind of funny.

Still, the green man wouldn't approve.

Maybe not. Yoda has a lot of "slippery slope" in his philosophy.

I love his annoyed sigh towards the end. It shows without words how he's gotten sick of this shit and decides to get serious and ends the fight in the next few seconds.

Is he arguing its too flippity floppy with its light-hearted moments and dark ones or what the hell is he going on about?

He's just rambling

I guess so. It's not my favourite video or anything, it just seems to hit a lot of points that user's often describe as complaints they have with rebels. Here's a "response" video that makes some good points, despite the somewhat amateurish presentation

youtu.be/Gh7g1sn2qAQ

Isn't he that one guy who said Clone Wars was good because Lucas had nothing to do with it and everyone working on it hated the prequels when really Lucas took money out of his own pocket for animation and mentored Filoni throughout the series?

Wasted potential no doubt about that. It had some bomb ass moments with Ezra and the leftover cast from Clone Wars but Disney making it primarily kiddie ruined any chances of it being a worthy successor to Clone Wars. Will admit that my favorite moment was from an episode where Clone Wars wasn't referenced at all. Ezra talking to the ghosts of his parents on top of his old hideout had me fucking balling.

Them smug cosmonaut fags in the comments.

How the hell do you know that if you never watched it?

but thats a solid reason

Rebels would be a solid show if it was a actual kid show. However it tried to make itself like Clone Wars will all these "serious" story themes but failed badly.

Chopper and Zeb were absolute trash,they barely did ANYTHING with the clones, and Ezra was at risk of the darkside for like 1 episode

I think it pulled off a lot of serious moments well. Not gonna argue on you with the lack of clone use and darkside falling.

>Chopper and Zeb were absolute trash,
Opinion

>they barely did ANYTHING with the clones
This isn't The Clone Wars, it's Rebels. Just because the clones appeared does not mean they needed a huge chunk of focus.

>and Ezra was at risk of the darkside for like 1 episode
Incorrect. In Season 1 he initially had his outburst of using the Dark Side, Season 2 had a couple moments(mainly in the finale), and Season 3 opened up with the conclusion to it. That being said, Ezra was still acting rather rash for a good portion of Season 3, up to and including Twin Suns

Fuck you I wanted a Commander Cody Vs. Rex episode

I liked it, but I only started watching during a marathon halfway through season 2, where they had gotten into a groove.

I'm not saying I wouldn't want to see that user, I'm only saying that because Rebels isn't about the Clones they naturally weren't going to get a lot of screentime.

What screentime we did get though was pretty great. I loved "The Last Battle"

>Ezra is like the Steven Universe of Rebels in that he HAD to be there.
Fucking kek

Season 2 finale was literally the best thing to come out of Disney Wars

>hating Chopper
Fuck off

I want this studio to make a star trek cartoon now.

Honestly hoping leads into a roundabout plot that ends up with Thrawn assuming the codename fulcrum in episode 9 and bringing in a reservist fleet headed by an executor and a fuckton of old armaments that just quietly got mothballed in an out of the way area by mon mothma and leia as a "just in case"

and episode 9 is just fleet level action with someone that knows strategic use of interdictors and screening your cap ships with heavily shielded frigates instead of just trying "bigger is better and more superweapons" and just wrecks the first order to restore peace and stability to the galaxy because that ultimately is beneficial to the chiss ascendancy.

well have that as the b plot I guess, since the A plot will obviously be Rey and Kylo's 1v1 and whatever contrived shennanigans brings back phasma.

Regardless, they don't even have to reveal who he is, do the holo thing they used when Ashoka was using the name and have the music that cues who it is as his fleet tears apart whatever first order group that was. Poe would obviously want to meet this "fulcrum" person, but as he requests it Thrawn would say "there will be time for that later commander, right now however we need to reposition and assault their main battlegroup before word of this fleet's arrival reaches their commanders"

Had some good stuff, but held back by having to shoehorn in Jedi and some poor decisions. The ending is awful.

Solid action adventure cartoon, but its connections to the greater story are a mess. TCW had similar problems but was a stronger show in general.

Ruined orange butt cheeks

I liked it more than TCW because I couldn't stand Kenobi, Anakin, Padme, Jarjar, or Ashoka in that show and while the Clone Troopers were great, they couldn't carry it for me. I just can't care about Anakin being angsty or broody or a brat.

The most annoying thing about Rebels was Ezra, the Mandalorians, and Ashoka and the good outweighed the bad for me.

TCW always felt like retreading old ground to me and trying to salvage the prequel movies while Rebels at least had enough ambition to pull some worthy things from the old EU. Course I mostly watched Rebels for Thrawn and was surprised how well they did Maul.

>TCW always felt like retreading old ground to me
But that's what Rebels was. It's basically "a small group of mismatched characters fly around the galaxy in the Millennium Falcon while fighting an evil empire. Only it's THE GHOST instead.

>You never got to see Hera in a slutty twi-lek dancing costume.

What the fuck does that even mean

At it's best it truly felt like a WEG campaign.

At its worst it also felt like a WEG campaign.

To be fair, it took clone wars until halfway through season 3 to be any good. Before that it was terrible dialogue, ok action, and stupid non-linear episodes.

Exactly, Clone Wars was a slog for a while until it got better. I just never felt that with Rebels. It just kind of stayed at this level of "eh".

Technically it's the intent, not the act that's evil.

>inb4 mods shut down this thread

This.

It never was.

Hera in her grief cornered Ezra and forced herself on him in her attempt to latch onto anything kanan like.

the whole purgill plan by Ezra was his "things got really weird, really fast between us, we need some space hera. Thrawn was simply a copout.

Why else would she be sending an ex-jedi and a mandolorian to hunt him down if not for five years worth of back payments on child support?

Thrawn and Hera was good

Ahsoka was literally brought back fro Vader, otherwise she was bland.

The series overall was pretty bad.

>We're gonna overthrow the empire!
>b-but we weren't in the movies
>We didn't get to overthrow the empire, but someday...
THE END

Ezra is boring as shit and sabine was waifu bait no one took

More of
>Undercut the empire to not make more super weapons
>Tie up loose ends from the prequels
>Flesh out rebellion beyond the OT
>Stop Palpatine from harnessing the power of time and space to become a god
>Take out the Empires best strategist

that sounds like
>we did things that affected the main series!
>we kicked that can
>now it's over THERE
>we shot that laser gun, sort of
>now it shoots smaller lasers and overheats faster

I really liked Vader and Ahsoka's fight. I hated when Ezra used never before seen Force powers to scoop her out of time.

>thrawn is super OP we need to explain why he wasnt present in the main storyline
>tentacle raped by hyperspace whales

Only reason she survived.

It was way too focused and episodic and the episodes ended before anything could really get going so it's just a lot of pointless episodes. I missed how the Clone Wars could have 3 part episodes about Shaak Ti and the troopers without any of the main characters. It improved the last two seasons with more stories spanning several episodes but it was still really dumb how they kept winning and blowing up Star Destroyers.

Yeah, I also hated in a new hope where Obi-Wan used never befored seen force powers like a mind trick to get past the guards

actually they did overthrow the empire. In the final episode they free the planet and the empire never goes back.
