If you don’t have something you can’t lose it. If you see something that only matters to people with context, you aren’t aware that you don’t have that context.

It’s like saying that you miss someone that you’ve never met.

When somebody posts like that, just flip through their Rap Sheet and you’ll realize that’s just their gimmick and ignoring them is the only way to continue any meaningful dialogue. Insipidity insisting that you are the only correct viewer of a show or medium (when you have been repeatedly proven wrong multiple times) is just a weird troll.

You can lose, aka miss out on, opportunities via choices (semantics!).

Will not watching Clone Wars before Rebels hinder your enjoyment of Rebels? Probably not! Will it improve it? Definitely.

Rebels S2 season finale: I'm not really sure what they're trying to set up with Ezra, Kanan, and Maul here. If it's just Maul using them and betraying them, that's predictable and super boring. I like it when this Force bullshit isn't just good vs evil, do something new, please god. Please give me something good after that loving NIGHTMARE OF A FILM

I'm not sure why people keep thinking Star Wars is going to be something it's not.

Also, weren't you the one complaining that Clone Wars was too long, yet you've burned through 50% of Rebels in like three days?

Rebels is better than clone wars because it gets good after a season and a half instead of 4 and a half

I honestly find Maul’s arc in Rebels really refreshing because it’s not just the usual Sith lust for power. The dude just wants some loving revenge and if he has to dupe some dumb padawan in the process then so be it.

Yeah but there are plenty of guides to skip the trash episodes. Rebels only really has a handful of completely miss nothing skipable episodes.

rebels can take in more in its shorter run explicitly because everything it tackles was introduced by clone wars first, so thats an extremely stupid way to approach the two series

I like that Maul basically becomes a rival Sith Lord to Sidious.

Ahsoka is the best of the jedi, hands down she got out of the whole thing without getting her hands dirty.

Maul just reinvents himself like 14 times and still can't get his act together.

Apart from killing a few mooks when the time calls for it. She's basically Star Wars Spider-Man in terms of a ability and character.

Same. But I think more of her Rebels S2 arc on Malachor culminating with her fighting along side Maul against the Inquisitors, and her duel with Vader. The imagery of the Sith Temple in Twilight of the Apprentice is so good. And Ahsoka's theme song during the duel, and the ending music... gives me goosebumps every time.
