You should watch some Clone Wars before you finish season two. There's even a handy guide in the OP!

Narcissus1916 posted:Catching up with season 2. That first half is rough, and aimless. For some reason this has been mostly true with both Clone Wars and Rebels: The first half is a bit of a mess, and then the second half is where the strong stuff happens. I've heard multiple podcasters comment on this as well, so after a few years of this you almost have to wonder if it's by design. To what end though, I can't imagine.

Yes, a couple times. I did see the Interdictor on fire and breaking up near the end, meaning someone paid a heavy price for some of the fleet to escape, and also it looks like Ezra has turned Maul's Gauntlet fighter into his own personal pimpmobile  Also, at 0:17 bottom left corner there's a medium Rebel ship I can't identify

Just got caught up and I really loved the samurai duel at the end of the episode, and it looked like he lost by relying on the winning move that he had soooo many fights ago.

So the second issue of Darth Maul's mini-series came out today and it has some tie-ins to Rebels and TCW: Maul has a flashback to Sidious taking him to Malachor for the first time. Sidious actually makes him breathe in the remains of one of the dead guys and Maul gets a vision of Jedi slaughtering Sith. In the "present" story Maul's hired Cad Bane, Aurra Sing and some other bounty hunters to help him get into an auction for a captured Jedi Padawan. Also Hondo has a cameo at the auction.

twistedmentat posted:Ah but did you miss how at the end of the Clone Wars cartoon, Mace Windu does massive damage to Grievous which explains why he's such a bitch in episode 3? I swear I remember reading that Grievous' coughing throughout Ep.3 was not related at all to the mini-series and was because of his prosthetics barely holding him together at all since he is basically just a head and brain stem bolted onto some advanced cybernetic parts. I guess Vader got the lovely suit.

banned from Starbucks posted:1 deathstar is so old at this point. The next logical step is for the rebels to build their own Lifestar and have a DS vs LS lightsaber fight. Nah, what they need is a double ended Death Star that shoots a super laser out each side. Elentor posted:The Lifestar should shoot a laser that rebuilds a planet with everyone back in it, but it has no offensive capabilities whatsoever. The death star then shoots again. Everyone is trapped in a nightmarish horror of constantly being blown apart and being reborn. I kind of wish the Republic had built their own Death Star type space station, in the same vein of their construction of a Star Defender instead of a Star Destroyer, simply because I think a movable fortress the size of a moon that can house all your bureaucracy and go between all major planets as needed is a good idea for the home of your government. Giving it Grevious' ships giant Ion Cannon thing instead of a super laser that destroys planets would be good too.

Check your cable's On Demand if you have it, that's where I found both episodes. Also, Thrawn definitely hurt the Phoenix Squadron cells, with the loss of Admiral Sato and the carrier and a bunch of their other capital ships, but Thrawn also lost two interdictors, got humiliated, and learned the same lesson that Kanan did: Do not taunt Happy-Fun Bentu. So glad they managed to rescue Kallus at the end, too. His increasing smugness over the episode as things fail to go Thrawn's way was wonderful. I wonder if they're saving the literal Deus ex Machina for another season or if that drone commander is never going to come up again.

^^ They did kill off Konstantine though  This was definitely the battle they were referring to when voting against assaulting Scarif in Rogue One, Phoenix Squadron [1 Carrier, 2 transports, 2 CR 90s, 3 Hammerheads] and Dodonna's "one of the largest rebel cells" Massassi Group [3 Nebulons, 3 CR 90s, 2 Gunships] lost a serious amount of tonnage before even getting their first big attack out of orbit - the carrier, all 3 Nebulons, 4 CR 90s, a Hammerhead, both transports, both Gunships, and a large number of fighters. This would also explain why Dodonna didn't have much of a say at the meeting, and why the Battle of Yavin involved only his fighters - he lost all of his corvette or larger ships at Atollon All the space sequences were amazingly designed, but the Bendu end felt a little disappointing, I guess I was just hoping for a little less Deus ex Machina about him NTRabbit fucked around with this message at 16:14 on Mar 25, 2017 |

The finale might not have had any gut-punch moments like the season 2 finale did, but then again I doubt anything will ever top the Ahsoka vs. Vader confrontation. Also interesting that they didn't get rid of the season's antagonist in some way like they did the Inquisitor and Vader. Does that mean Thrawn will be the season 4 antagonist as well?

There's actually a minor continuity error involving the gunships: Dodonna only brings two, one is shown being destroyed in the first battle, but both are shown retreating to the surface; when the surviving fleet makes its final run after Bendu loses his poo poo, there's only one gunship left, and then once they get past and go to light speed, the gunship is not with them and there's no indication of what happened to it, as opposed to the second CR 90 in that run, which is shown in a death spiral behind the wreck of the second interdictor

I feel like they were pretty explicit with this, but... Bendu disappeared before the shot, he didn't pull an Obi-wan and disappear as the bolt hit him right? The mark shows up on the ground. The implication being he didn't die and join the force, he was a force of nature to begin with. Or maybe the embodiment of the Force itself. What was he saying after his line about the will of the Force being that Jedi die? That he was the will of the Force?

It's just his big deadly "All of you get off my lawn" moment It's pretty clear that whatever Bendu is he's just operating on a completely different level and he's effectively unknowable. Naturally something unknowable is what would take Thrawn down, because you can't study or figure him out, you just stay the gently caress out of his way if you know what's good for you.

Musing on Ezra again, once again, even with the Bendu's massive rage attack, and other factors, if Ezra hadn't relied on his connection with Sabine, and aimed to gain Clan Wrens assistance the Rebels would have been totally wiped out due to the last Interdector. Ezra as always subtly changes the outcome for the Rebels. The Force is with him again now that he's on the right path, not on Mauls. Though I do like that Maul's ship is now Ezra's. Maul for better or for worse, did effect Ezra's life. Ezra is truly Maul's legacy, as well as Kanan's. It's interesting, the heir to Maul's legacy working with Mandalorians against overwhelming forces. Heh. Why is it that Ezra actually is a decent character? Like seriously, Ezra when he first started out sounded like a cliche. But they actually made the being from the streets a critical part of his character, and developed him into something really awesome. Now that he's finally over his dark side phase (I'm certain of this at this point.) I really want to see where he goes next. He's becoming a very well rounded character. Also, did anyone notice that the Bendu said that Attalion was made to be hard to find ON PURPOSE? That planet even now has been stated again and again to be very ALIEN. Creatures unabled to be controlled by the Force, the Bendu, it's very primordial. Something tells me that's one of those mysteries that books and comics might explore, but nothing the show will cover thanks to the events of the Finale. Also the Bendu is totally not gone. He's gonna be a factor again in some form in the Star Wars universe. At the very least, he hosed with Thrawns head a bit.

Ben vs Maul was amazing. At the risk of sounding fanboyish, right now it is my favorite lightsaber fight from a technical and non-narrative point of view. Certainly my favorite fight since Jedi and possibly my favorite fight since Empire. The finale was good. The whole bendu poo poo was dumb as gently caress and should have been completely removed but given that it was two lovely elements dxming each other I'll call it a wash. I loved the old '60s design on Ezra's bubbletop space suit and the "Just like the rare toy that totally existed and I know because my cousin who lives in Canada has one" Boba Fett missile pack was just plain fun.

Chickenwalker posted:Man am I sick of this nucanon Kyber crystal crap. It's like they saw the word once and couldn't stop using it. Oversimplifying the universe makes it less interesting. Not all crystals have to be the same. It's not an interesting spin to assert that the Death Star uses the same crystals. The specific name doesn't have to be repeated in every source of media ad nauseum. Idk if you know but the name actually links back to the first ever Star Wars book, Splinter of the Mind's Eye (I have a copy) Was spelt slightly differently
