Kind of ties into Maul's question for hope. But yeah, that's probably all wrong. It's definitely in reference to Kenobi, I think Filoni actually directly said he wanted to do Old Wounds somewhere. How they'll involve the crew of the Ghost without making them feel shoehorned in is the question.

Yeah, that's what I took from it, too. "Twin Suns" meant Tattooine, and he saw Obi-Wan still alive; he maybe even saw him watching over Luke, since Luke is ultimately the destruction of the Sith.

That's why Maul got all giddy. REVENGE!

Snoke supposedly isn't Sith, according to Pablo and the Lucasfilm storygroup. Similarly, in the latest Rebels Recon, Filoni said this about Maul. quote:"Maul isn't trying to be a Sith. He is trying to be something else, something that he is creating. And many people have tried that over the years and it hasn't worked out, so we'll see how it works out for him."

Snoke's a hologram, not a Sith.

Yeah, the Sith is a very specific religious doctrine, and unless Palp kept some secret adherents (not entirely out of the question, knowing him), it's for all intents and purposes destroyed.

Snoke is Maz Kanata's brother, because Abrams is an ordinary director who, as his own writer, has no setting between blindingly obvious and utterly incomprehensible

It might also refer to Skywalker, since Maul still doesn't know who Vader is underneath the mask - near as I can tell only Palpatine, Tarkin, Yoda, Obi-wan, Ahsoka, and Ezra know that secret, and Ezra might not have heard it properly - but he does still have beef with Anakin, albeit not as much as he does with Kenobi, and he'd be super beefy to learn that Anakin is sitting in his chair at the Sith table

Maul has had an interesting character trajectory since he was a piece of fighting balsa wood in Phantom Menace.

# ? Oct 3, 2016 13:36 |

Pretty sure Ezra has no idea who Vader is. He was too far away and focused on escaping when the mask broke. And to spmeone with no context the earlier conversation implied Vader killed Anakin.quote:Snoke Theories

Good ep overall, though my nitpicky side guffawed at the corvette showing up at the end miraculously free of all the giant holes blown in it by the Interceptor earlier in the episode. Also: "Commander Sato, may I present Wedge Antilles and *awkward pause* Hobbie"

Good episode, I hope that Interceptor pilot Skerris "aka Imperial Viper" (totally looks like him) shows up more. Though I'm sure plenty of people are crying bloody murder it was Soontir.

is Soontir currently part of Legends?

I know he's obviously not Soontir, but giving his Interceptor red bits on the wings had to at least be a reference, right?

cptn_dr posted:I know he's obviously not Soontir, but giving his Interceptor red bits on the wings had to at least be a reference, right? It wasn't just red bits. He had kill markings on the fuselage too. Judging by those kills A) Xwings are at large B) Viper has been busy.

The X-Wing like kill marking could be for a Z-95 or something with a similar profile. If the X-Wing was around I can't imagine they wouldn't make a big deal of it, a la the B-Wing prototype. Even a stealthy reference like this would seem unlikely. I'm more curious what the large red triangle thing is. Or is it part of the normal markings or the pilot's personal scheme and not a kill marking?
|
# ? Oct 9, 2016 00:09 |

The red triangle is on both sides, so probably not a kill marking.

This episode brought back so many memories from playing Tie Fighter as a kid. Also kinda funny that three Tie Interceptors destroyed six A-Wings and a transport like they were paper.

It is pretty Star Wars that the ships are as durable and impervious to damage as the plot demands.

They're an older model. Apparently the Awing is now a Kuat Systems Engineering design that lost to the TIE Fighter in a competition to be the Imperial next gen fighter. So they sold it on the civilian market instead. It has heavier shields and armor and heavier laser cannons compared to the Endor-era A-wing. I'm guessing the Rebels learned a lot from losing all these early A-wings and significantly modified them into the Endor version.

As far as I could tell, no. Cockpit wasn't even different externally. Maybe that space behind the pilot is normally used for cargo?

I hate this new "canon" exactly because of poo poo like this: it doesn't just throw out the stuff before and after the established movies, it throws out the established backstory of the movies as well and paints over it needlessly.

Oh really? What established backstory from the movies is that? In RotJ you see A-Wings and B-Wings and no facts about them. No one on screen says anything about those fighters, they're just there (and barely there in the case of the B-wing). Rebels Recon. We're getting more Ryloth in the next episode. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6em1j3nQcSk I missed those speeder bike SFX.

I'm saying supporting media was built up around these movies and was largely blessed by Lucas and they've decided they're going to reinvent the wheel by making the A-wing something that predates the X-wing rather than cutting-edge tech. It doesn't show up until ROTJ. It doesn't make any sense.

Rebels has already explained "they didn't shown up until RotJ". There are multiple rebels cells all using whatever equipment they can get. Endor was the first time they were gathered in one place. The medical droid didnt' show up until it was fixing up Luke in Empire, are we to assume it and Bacta tanks didn't exist until Empire? General Dodonna's unit has X-wings and Y-wings (some of them provided by Phoenix Group) Phoenix Group has A-wings. I'm sorry that this makes you upset.

They have dudes working on the show like Pablo Hidalgo who wrote for the West End Games RPGS (which is largely responsible for the backstory we accepted as the canon back in the days) who are doing their damndest to bring in the good stuff from the old EU. Also, the A-Wing being in pre-ROTJ was explained even pre-Disney as this guy http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/R-22_Spearhead appearing in stuff like X-Wing, Droids, etc.

Cross-Section posted:Also: "Commander Sato, may I present Wedge Antilles and *awkward pause* Hobbie" Hoping Wedge and Hobbie pop up from time to time this season as 'those two guys,' because Hera sure as hell could use some talent in Phoenix Squadron. Hell, it would explain where Hobbie was during Yavin, now that he's already with the rebellion.

99.9% of the old EU canon was garbage and I'm glad they're completely ignoring it and starting from scratch. This episode ruled. Season 3 is really starting strong.
