Cause this felt allt like OT and a bit SWTOR to me. And this interests me a lot more than banking agreements and trade like poltical episodes and the R2, 3PO episodes where just boring im sure both those characters will be better in this show. I think Clovis episodes were great... Political episodes are pretty fun. Seeing Palpatine manipulating everyone was a lot more exciting than some mindless violence. Uh not really the only good clovis episode was the last one IMO and thsts cause there was a battle. This stuff appeals more to me mainly cause I really like the empire as well. And there is dark spots just not that dark like the salves especially the kid and the starving poor people in the empire. |

Also Potato apparently that episode you where talking about is actually the 5th one and it was released to the press and reviewers and stuff not to early fans. |

Pinda Please make another "Cinema Sins" for this. You might hit 500 and I would hate to have you to rewatch it all again though. Hmm, I could make a "Cinema Sins" kind of video about Rebels... Although I'd have to read all of it out loud and record it, which I wouldn't like. However, I could write down the "sins" and edit them into a video if somebody else could do the voice... So if there are any volunteers  Id do it if I wasn't so busy... |

The second episode (or I guess it's technically the third) was released on the Disney XD website for people that use certain broadcasting companies (or something like that, I'm not sure). It's only a matter of time before it's released on illegal sources. |

Ok, I'll post my review of Rebels now. Warning, it's long. So.... Rebels.... Where do I start..? Um well first we had that 7 minute preview previously shown. Then we have stupidtroopers stormtroopers. OMG seriously you just stand there when a grenade goes off and then you catch a grenade...*facepalm* The animation was better then excepted (though not as good as TCW.) Except for the wookies... just no... Another complaint I had was the music. While I like references to the OT, in this episode it was just way too much, especially with the music. Please Disney, try something original.. I guess I'll talk about the characters now. HeroesKanan: He was okay. He still has probably the worst animation of the group, though. IDK about him. I'd place him toward the bottom of my rankings out of the five along with Ezra. Ezra: The protagonist. Not as annoying as I thought he would be but still IDK he was annoying at times just not as annoying as I expected. The slingshot is still stupid though. About the animation... it was better than Kanan but still maybe it was me but I felt his eyes where too blue and kind of unnatural. Also his hair moved way to much. (I guess they move characters hair more since it's a cheaper animation style than TCW. ) Some of his lines are cheesy and stupid though. "I'm in Space!" Me: Yeah, no shit. Also is extremely odd that he keeps talking to himself. Hera: By far the best. Unlike WAC, she is more than just a pilot. She is great, and the way she convinces Ezra to help the others was cool too. She is also a badass, taking on multiple TIE fighters at once. (Still can't understand why she cares for Ezra and made and/or bought Chopper...) Sabine: Also cool. I really don't like the stereotype of her wearing pink. Seriously, Mandolorians don't wear pink. The whole thing between her and Ezra is getting annoying though and I hope it doesn't develop in too anything romantic. *rolls eyes* It seemed she wants him to "f**k off" which is good. Though the whole loving "colorful" explosions is kind of weird. Zeb: He seems like the most badasss of them all and is cool, and I cheered when he decided to leave Ezra with the Empire.  His elctrostaff is cool and I hope he uses it more it future episodes. (In the trailer it looked like he was dueling Agent Kallus, which is cool.) Chopper didn't really do anything and was barely in it so there's nothing really to say about him. VilliansAgent Kallus: Cool but like Potato and others have said he can't doing anything extremely badass because there's a main group of characters that can't be killed off. Also I hope he doesn't become of those "pure evil" villains- like kicking that stormtrooper into the abyss- he's just to interesting of a character to turn out that way. The Inquistor: Minor Cameo. Nothing much to say. Still just a copy-off of the son. Stromtroopers: Still stupid as ever. Rebels should have improved on their intelligence but sadly they can't because that way it makes the rebels look smarter. Ratings:Animation: 8/10 (It's pretty good but the wookies were terrible and Ezra's eyes and hair looked weird and Kanan's face... Characters: 8.5/10 (dialogue can bring it down sometimes) Music: 8/10 Pretty good but I didn't like the over-using of OT music. Story: 7.4/10 (some points were stupid like stromtroopers intelligence and I'm against a Ezra-Sabine relationship) Overall: 7.8/10
Summary Filled with a new cast including the original Chewbacca and an even more annoying Lux to epic characters like Kallus and Hera, Rebels proves to be that kind of show you can't judge by it's first episode because it's not too bad or too good. As a famous Jedi once said, " Difficult to see. Always in motion is the future." |

TCW had very varying arcs, so obviously there were some you might not have liked... but this series only has one story so if you don't like that the entire series will suck for you. Also: Chancellor Palpatine > Emperor Palpatine Dooku > Tarkin Grievous > Vader Droids > Stormtroopers |

Thrawn alone is better than the Separatists. |

IDK I guess one reason why specifically Pinda, Spider and I disliked it is because we don't enjoy the OT as much as PT. Like come on. OT isn't that great. A New Hope is boring as hell. Empire Strikes Back was okay. The middle was a complete train wreck and the ending and beginning were the alright parts. The Return of the Jedi was dumb as well. They are just not that great. They have major flaws that I was hoping Rebels would fix (Meaning I would like it more) But obviously they want to be exactly like OT so it'll suck.

None of them are that good especially TPM and AOTC.. I Can't say which trilogy I prefer but I find myself leaning more towards OT most of the time.. Although ROTS is probably the best out of all 6 |

After playing through the SWTOR story on each class I can easily see quite a resemblance with the story. Like the Knight story and the crew you get reminds me of the rebels teams just like no Lord Scourge character which was the Knights best companions |

Have surviving Jedi or rebellious clones or something showing life proceeding up to the events of New Hope. See how the Empire starts conquering. What happens on Coruscant. The making of Stormtroopers; etc. That's far more interesting IMO |

Which is why the sequel trilogy is kind of a good thing And that could be interesting but idk how well it would work.. But it would still be rebels and it probably would've been like Rebels as well because it would be from Disney and on XD |

His elctrostaff is cool and I hope he uses it more it future episodes. (In the trailer it looked like he was dueling Agent Kallus, which is cool.)
it’s been quite a while. I’ve been pretty good, how about yourself?
