Xelkelvos posted:Idk if there was any intermediate class of ship that was in canon at the time for that though. Basically the ships went from single-person fighters, ships big enough for a small crew, cargo ships (when including cargo space), then Star Destroyers of various sizes. Are you counting the Arquitens as Star Destroyers?

The Arquitens and Gozanti got used a fair bit in Rebels (and the Gozanti in Clonw Wars), plus there were the smaller Interdictors, that pyramidal cargo ship, and the Light Carrier.

BooDooBoo posted:The best part was seeing Chopper, The Ghost, and a shout-out to Hera up on the big screen. I was SO excited when that happened. Wait, there’s a Rebels cameo in Rouge One? When does it happen? Also is The Ghost one of the ships that shows up to help in ROS?

Chopper shows up rolling through a shot on Yavin, the Ghost is seen parked there and IIRC then again later with the fleet at Scarif, and while at Yavin in the background the PA is calling for General Syndulla at one point. And I believe the Ghost also shows up among the many ships in TRoS too, yeah.

Chopper rolls by while an Alliance communications technician tells Mon Mothma that he intercepted imperial transmissions about the ground battle on Scarif. The Ghost - iirc - is also in Rogue One during the space battle over Scarif. I completely missed the Hera reference, so maybe someone with sharper eyes caught it? e:fb

Vinylshadow posted:Blowing up light cruisers that only come with 2-4 TIE escorts is fine, but (active) Star Destroyers should've been the "oh gently caress we need to get out of here yesterday" threat, and we got a little of that with Thrawn, at least This exact thing happens in Rebels when they go to get the Rebel Admiral's kid flying around in a Dash Rengar's ship playing Freedom Fighter against Arquitens, but when the kids try to pull the same tricks with an actual Star Destroyer it doesn't go well at all.

Desperado Bones posted:I think the only things you can skip are some droid centered episodes, and "the sisters" arc in season 7. Im going to go ahead and say that while the 4 episode droid centric story is extremely boring, the explosion at the end is 100% totally worth it. TCW has some absolutely beautiful moments.

Megillah Gorilla posted:Apart from the B-Wing with the magic cannon, I think most of the Star Destroyers they blew up on Rebels, were from sabotaging stuff on the inside. I thought the B-Wing only took out an Arquitens or two. Those aren't Star Destroyers at all. That said, it does make sense that Alliance forces can, in the right circumstances, tackle and destroy Imperial starships, even the big ones.

I'm about ten-ish episodes into Rebels right now and really enjoying it and while I stress it's not a deal breaker how much does the show focus on Kanan/Ezra attempting Jedi things?

The tenth episode is the last one, I think. Yeah, out of a season already too long than it could have been, that part stretched out especially, like the Clone Wars episodes with Yoda going on a vision quest to learn how to appear as a Force ghost after death. I think when episodes stretch out, sometimes it might be because of the nature of having to arbitrarily stretch out self-contained plots to a certain runtime. galenanorth fucked around with this message at 23:11 on Jun 2, 2021 |

Ridiculous gatekeeping. Which giant monster did Godzilla fight in his first movie? Speaking of Kaiju, did anything come from the Zillobeast? Palp seemed interested in the light Saber resistant armor. Did any media cover that?

Also I liked how Rebels managed to get a lot of actors from the movies back as guest stars (such as Billy Dee Williams, Frank Oz, James Earl Jones, and I think even Ian McDiarmid reprised his role as Palpatine for a few episodes near the end)

mdemone posted:By the way I started binging Clone Wars and I love this dumb poo poo Clone Wars is really good and it's both surprising and unsurprising it turned out so well. Surprising because the Tartakovsky Clone Wars was still in peoples' memories and this seemed like an affornt to it by a certain type of grog. It didn't help that there were definitely some episodes in the first season that were ultimatley unnecessary and involved characters no one really liked. But when it hit, it hit and it kept hitting it out of the park.

The Tartakovsky Clone Wars show is still worth watching though right (I’ve only ever seen the CG one)? Also are there any elements that the later show borrowed from the earlier one?

Ventress originated in the old 2D show, plus Obi-Wan's most iconic war-time look of armor-over-robes. Durge is also slated to turn back up in some comics pretty soon, so that's neat. Both "volumes" of the show back-to-back are about the length of one theatrical film, so its absolutely worth a watch for the moderate time investment it demands.

It's still worth watching since it's a great and stylistic 2D set of shorts. The big thing they did was establish Grievous as this monstrous Jedi hunting monster that the movie just turns into a robotic asthmatic and the CG Clone Wars series filling in the gaps. They are/were both canon too iirc, but the original was made based on what existed from the first two prequel movies iirc while the latter had all three to work within.

A lot of newer works have sprinkled in references to the microseries, like the Battle of Hypori from the end of volume 1 getting referenced, and Shaak Ti's mentioned as the one protecting the chancellor during the Siege of Mandalore Definitely worth a watch regardless though

Some of the episodes are more silent than others, but there is some decent voice work and you get to see Anakin eat bugs in front of Obi-Wan.

It's short enough to be worth a watch and there are some fun action scenes, but it is extremely cartoonish in places so don't expect even CG Clone Wars levels of "realism".
