thoroakenfelder Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 Pretty disappointed that none of the digital platforms have the episode available for purchase. We don't have DisneyXD and frankly 9:00 is too late for my young ones to wait up to watch a show. I hope that they all get it worked out so that we can do a Father's day viewing together. Quote

Darth_Raichu Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 I finally watched all episodes. This is by far the best SW TV series I have seen. This is also the much deserved bridge between episode 3 and 4. The tone of first half of season 1 was lighter, but boy it turned dark when Moff Tarkin showed up in the last 3 episodes. He was delightfully ruthless. At times I thought that this show would have fit better at Cartoon Network than Disney X D.And when I thought Tarkin was good, then on season 2 they upped the darker tone thanks to Vader. Ruthless and calculating, Vader was one step ahead of the heroes throughout the episode. Plus he was still the best pilot in the galaxy. That was Vader done right.Speaking of bridge, did anyone notice how well executed the lightsaber fights were ? With Inquisitor, the fights basically mimic episode 1-3, with many fancy movements and acrobats, with double bladed vs dual sabers duel to boot. However, Darth Vader fought like he fought in episode 4-6, no acrobat, just purely efficient movements. Love how he used the force to almost cause Ezra to kill himself. He was badass without all the fancy moves and our heroes barely escaped him. Nicely done Quote

biking_tiger Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 I love the Clone Wars and always will, but Rebels is coming around. Star Wars needs an edge of darkness to it--and the first half of Rebels season 1 was too cute. Vader owned Kanan, Ezra, and Phoenix Squadron, adding some much needed threat and tension to the series.

psusyntar Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 It is interesting as I thought the same thing when Rebels first started. I thought it was too kid friendly, but figured it needed to be. Then it became darker, and the revelation of a Clone Wars character coming back at the season one finale, plus Vader's introduction, made it all worth it. I was glad they tied in the Clone Wars show at that moment.I felt at the beginning of the Clone Wars show that is was a bit more kid friendly. The introduction movie and the beginning of the show had a completely different atmosphere than by the end of the show where the story lines became darker. So I am hoping similar things will happen now with Rebels. Quote
vmnlogan Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 Loved the premiere of season 2, just wanted to hit the Imperial March on an endless loop on my iPod. I know we have the new movies coming out in the next few years and the product line for this year has already been unveiled, but I'm really hoping they put out more Rebels sets - especially the blockade runners and command ship used by the rebels. How about a minifig of the grown up Ashoka? Maybe a new Lando figure? Lots of potential on this show, and the teaser for the season showed Rex making a return. W00t! 2 Quote
Kenxxx Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 So what's up with 75053 The Ghost? Walmart clearing them out at $64 ea... now TRU has them at $71.99 (a low price for TRU). It just turned 1 year old. Probably just a late summer clearance I guess. The Rebels have probably cooled off with no new episodes lately... I guess they're starting again in mid-October? Quote

Alpinemaps Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Still no release date for Season 2. The first two episodes aired as a movie earlier this summer. And the next episode is set to air at NYC Comic Con in October. But no release date on the next season. Some of us are guessing it will be times closer to Episode 7 for some crossover potential.

Locutus001 Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 Woa woa woa!!! High hopes for coming LEGO sets!!! High hopes for the series!!! :-) 4 Quote
Guest brickcrazyhouse Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 looks so good they even made the b wing's look cool Quote
thoroakenfelder Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 I feel like there will be renewed interest in sets with ahsoka and rex, and potentially the at-te. at least for a moment until new rebels stuff is produced Quote
Alpinemaps Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 That trailer rocked. I have high hopes for some good Rebels sets to support season 2. I love this show but season 2 looks like they've upped it a few notches. looks so good they even made the b wing's look coolThat's because they are. 1 Quote
Val-E Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 Anyone think some rebels sets could retire this year? Quote
exciter1 Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 Great trailer, I'm excited. My son still watches reruns of "The Clone Wars" more than he does "Rebels", but that might change. Quote
thoroakenfelder Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 (edited) Anyone think some rebels sets could retire this year?The Ghost has hit clearance in a few places here. I am not sure it is due for retirement as much as clearing space. But it's probably first up on the block, and probably the most important set for Rebels when paired with the Phantom.

TheOrcKing Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 This series has become more interesting now that additional elements from The Clone Wars are being brought into the mix. I was hoping somewhere a few of the clones would appear just to see that some had managed to survive and what they would be doing with the freedom they deserved in the aftermath. Regarding the situation of Ahsoka Tano and Darth Vader, I wonder how long before she realizes who is under that abominable armor. Quote

TheOrcKing Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 she already did. Oh. Trying to stay on top of these TV series can be a chore and I know I missed a few episodes. Time to check the guide for reruns. Quote

Nawoo Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 Prior to Season 2 episode 1 of Star wars Rebels, was the end of Season 5 the last time Ashoka saw Anakin? When she left the Jedi order?i'm at season 6 right now, but its like kind of an unofficial season Quote

When she left the Jedi order?i'm at season 6 right now, but its like kind of an unofficial season Pretty much yes. She leaves the Order and doesn't show back up (on screen) until the last episode of Rebels Season 1. Not sure if she shows up in print anywhere but I don't believe she does. Quote
