How big is the resistance supposed to be in TFA? I read enough articles to know that Leia basically had to found another resistance since the New Republic government was terrible, but were they really just a handful of pilots?

I think the Resistance is basically just what you see at the TFA base. The New Republic isn't willing to officially declare war on the First Order, so Leia scrounged together what she could from sympathizers and pilot defectors. It's a tiny operation.

Newest episode had a lot of firsts for Star Wars, like its first musical number, and I think the first time we've ever seen a bathroom. Also, watch Hera murder a bunch of dudes.

I think that was a robot hallucination/dream but if not. wow. Not a bad episode but man it had a lot of 'over telling' going on, kids are pretty smart, they'll get what is happening, don't tell us every step.

Filler is as filler does, though AP-5's little dittie with the space pigeons definitely ranks up there in terms of favorite Rebels moments.

So I guess AP-5 is a bit of a nerd for musicals.

I really liked that SIGINT modified Gozanti, it fills the role so much better than some weird rear end EU TIE

Does anyone like how they handle the Mandalorians in this show or in general? They seem like a very illogical race of people and I don't know if I'm missing something that's supposed to make them interesting?

In any source outside of a certain author's (now void) books, Mandos are aggressive dumbasses who have a tendency to fight on whatever side lets them fight Jedi more.

They seem like a very illogical race of people and I don't know if I'm missing something that's supposed to make them interesting? Specifically in the show, it seems to me like they have a pretty decent justification for being that way, in that the Empire is specifically nurturing their worst instincts as a culture. Clone Wars showed them in a light of trying to move on from an obsessive warrior cult that inevitably tries to conquer the galaxy every few hundred years (only for the galaxy to promptly stomp them back into a mud puddle) into a functional society, but the reform movement was crushed by radical traditionalists that the Empire is now more than happy to prop up as long as they keep getting a steady supply of experienced recruits and amoral mercenaries out of the deal. Of course, you can still easily make most of the same complaints about them as usual, since they're mostly the same. I just find the context around it interesting enough to enjoy.

Yeah I guess so, I just like that they're using other ships, whereas it seems like every time they need to fill a role in EU stuff they just badly kitbash another TIE e: KENOBIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII His janky revival from movie death aside, Maul is a great character well written and acted, and Anakin/Vader isn't half the tragic figure that Maul has become NTRabbit fucked around with this message at 10:41 on Mar 12, 2017 |

Wasn't one of the main controllers voiced by the same guy that does Thrawn?

I always thought that Lobot's computer head thing made it so that he was basically a cyborg supercomputer, but that he couldn't talk as a result of it. Apparently he's just not sociable, because this guy was chatting up a storm.

This might be the first primarily comedic episode in both Rebels and Clone Wars that I thought actually worked. I completely lost it during the whole space part at the end.

Just saw the episode where they were going to extract Kallus, and I love how they worked Thrawn's study of art into a simple ten-second deduction coming just from the artwork on Ezra's Bounty Hunter helmet. The brushes are the same as the Rebel artist Sabine Wren's... which means it was most likely Ezra in the prison cell and Kallus would certainly recognise him. There's our mysterious spy . I also suspect he took a single glance at the altered map and knew exactly which planet was gone .

That scene and the one where he deduced who Hera was are great, and everything I ever wanted from canon Thrawn.

I really love how well they've treated Thrawn as a character, because every time they pull some cliche trick to fool him (Swap the map, blow up all the probe droids) he just sifts through the aftermath and picks out the logical details that make it a whole lot worse for them in about two minutes.

I thought most of double agent droid was p dumb, and hinged on the cast being idiots. Then Hera got mean and it became amazing.

Well let's be honest, the only crew member really being dumb was Wedge and this is the first time we have seen him in a real long time so he probably didn't think much of it outside of the two droids were fighting...again Once they got back to the Ghost though? Yeah that was a little less forgivable.

Multiple impressions from people with screeners of "Twin Suns" seem to indicate that it's some sort of emotional, bring-tissues tour de force, which I honestly wasn't expecting given the premise. Going to be a long week regardless.
