And I see we've switched over to "actual plot progression" this week. Good stuff.

Was not expecting the pirate mother ship to be so... literal, but hey, it's Star Wars.

I really liked this week's kidnapping ep but the previous 2 were dire and I'm not at all interested in the small scale antics in between First Order appearances.


Is there a second cartoon being worked on in secret? I can't help but notice there's almost no overlap in credited writers between Rebels and Resistance other than the Created/Developed by at the very top.

They're doing another season of Clone Wars.

Yeah, I agree with this completely. But I’m hopeful for more episodes like this week moving forward.

I'm just hoping it gets to some sort of point soon. Show's been okay, but man can I not be bothered to give a poo poo about anyone or anything going on. It's like reading a blog about a local man's brave fight against a new Walmart going up

Really getting tired of Kaz being a clutz, every time he runs into something or knocks poo poo off a shelf onto his head it takes me closer to wanting to turn the episode off and never watch another

Today's ep had some fun moments; Kaz making BB-H8 play fetch with its own head, plus "time for a brain scrape!" :stonk:

Tam basically pulling a "Well, at least they made the trains run on time" was more gray than I expected out of this show.

Given how we're days away from TFA, I'm kinda saddened that it wasn't Finn and this is what leads to him doubting the First Order and ultimately rebelling when they invade that village at the start of the film

Have the kids talk to him and explain what happened to their family

Goodbye BB-8, hello lesser but somewhat cooler-looking CB-23

As clumsily as some elements (mainly the sneaking on-and-off the platform) were handled, that was a sweet little prequel to TFA.

Ha yeah, I don't normally care about this kinda thing, but the huge amount of time the TIEs had to shoot their fighters before they could take off/fight back was ridiculous. Also, just go around the cored planet. Trap them!

Fun enough episode though, even if the Fireball still being so unreliable just makes them look bad, tbh. I do miss the Aces, I thought they'd be a much bigger part of the season.

One thing this show does pretty well is little background moments, like when Poe casually pushes Kaz's blaster away from pointing at him.

My favorite bit though will always be Poe shooting his blaster at the ceiling and nailing that monkey lizard.

Dont believe Star Wars rumors until they're officially announced.

I learned this with SuperShadow and it still applies to this day.

Well, of course I know him.
He's me.
In this particular case I think it's alright though. It's been backed up by FanthaTracks and Jason Ward, two trustworthy sources. The main crux is that it's been in production since last spring and Ewan McGregor was at the Solo premiere in anticipation of an announcement right after, but Solo's lukewarm response caused them to reevaluate the project and turn it from a feature release into a limited series on Disney+.

The only TV shows in production that we actually have confirmation of are Resistance (currently airing), Clone Wars Season 7, some manner of Cassian Andor show, and The Mandalorian. Nothing else has any manner of official confirmation.

- Clone Wars, Resistance, Mandalorian, and Cassian officially confirmed or currently in production.
- Kenobi likely to be announced at Celebration.
- Vague rumors of the following being at least pitched and considered; Lando/Solo follow-up miniseries, something to do with young Leia, Knights of Ren, Darth Bane

Wait, when was the Cassian Andor show announced? Did I just forget about it?

e: I guess so. Seeing him as a pro spy vs Kaz should be a good contrast.

Kaz and krew actually getting captured at the end of the episode was a pleasant surprise. Bet there'll be some good intrigue next week.

If McGregor shows up for the Monday TPM 20th anniversary panel, seems like the perfect time to announce it then if they hadn't already by that point.

They're going to Takodana, and considering probably at this moment, Poe is on Jaku meeting with Liet Kynes, or captured.
