Cross-Section posted:New clip with Bendu, voiced by Tom Baker. Ashla and Bogan are terms that have been around since the first few drafts of Lucas' original scripts, so it's in keepig with the whole "going back to the well" theme that Rebels has had from day one. Tython, AFAIK, is a relatively recent addition. That's not saying it won't pop up, of course.

MildShow posted:Speaking of Lego Star Wars, did anyone else watch the Freemaker Adventures series that aired a while back? Definitely aimed at a younger audience than either Clone Wars or Rebels, but I still found it enjoyable. That show was so much more entertaining than it had any right to be. You could really feel the writers were fans of the material - some of the stuff they included were real deep cuts from SW lore. (Such as namedropping whroshyr wood and shyriiwook, for example, or naming the space station the Wheel) And even though it had the usual Lego silliness (especially the characterizations of Vader and Palpatine) the show was genuinely dramatic when it needed to be. The battledroid humor worked pretty well, as did the funny Hutt adversary. Plus, Lando voiced by Billy Dee Williams? Works every time.

Veotax posted:I spent last the week or so catching up on this show and found my self really enjoying it. I never watched the Clone Wars, if I'm liking this would you guys recommend that I go back and watch that too?  But be prepared for a rough pilot movie, first season, and a few real clunkers here and there. Most of it is good though. And by now you've seen what Ahsoka becomes, so maybe her starting out as an annoying brat may sit easier with you than with people who didn't know where her character would be going back when the show originally aired.

Gaz-L posted:I still sort of miss her calling R2 "Artooie". I thought that was kinda cute. Skyguy can gently caress right off though. Way back when the Ahsoka/Vader confrontation was first teased, I had this vision of him calling her "Snips" to get her to lose her poo poo. In the end, though, with considering what we got, flippancy wouldn't have worked in that moment.

Roach Warehouse posted:I laughed pretty hard at Chopper almost-certainly blooping out "I have a bad feeling about this" as Zeb started dragging the droid back to base. Yeah, I had to watch that twice to make sure it was what I thought it was. Normally I'm not the biggest fan of the Chopper voice effect - it sounds too close to someone literally saying "wahp waaahp wahp wahp waahp" into a microphone, but this one time it worked out nicely.

I have to admit I teared up a little during Sabine's rant/swordfight at the end. On the one hand my brain goes "wow, that's a really clumsy exposition dump that probably should have been parcelled out more carefully over the last few seasons", on the other hand something about the combination of the music, the shot compositions and Tiya Sircar's voicework just got me emotional. Or maybe I'm just happy that the worst character in the crew finally becomes interesting.

Burning_Monk posted:When did they show up in Clone Wars as the reason for powering the death star? I don't think that is true. There was a bunch of unfinished episodes that they released after the show had ended - the "Utapau" arc, I think. It ended with Obi-Wan and Anakin securing a huge kyber crystal from some enemies, and it was strongly hinted that given enough energy, this crystal could power a huge weapon.

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.

Neddy Seagoon posted:Given we're getting side-movies like Rogue One and the Han Solo movie, I actually think a big-budget Game of Thrones-esque Star Wars series is perfectly possible now. Wait until after the Kenobi standalone movie and Episode 9 are finished. By then they should have amassed enough props, set pieces, costumes and ships from six movies that they can recycle to make the show look reasonably good without having to spend a metric fuckton on each episode.

And number three. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RL6OPMp4IUY They've had better voice actresses for Leia in the past. This one sounds really off. I dug the "Yub Nub"-inspired background music though! The opening shot reminds me of the title cards for the old Ewoks animated series. Compare it to episode 4 "To Save Deej", and you'll see what I mean. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqt3y1mr8NQ Dave Syndrome fucked around with this message at 20:18 on Jul 5, 2017 |

Next one is online: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPS6Od-oxcc No idea if Catherine Taber is voicing Padmé again - I can't even remember what her voice sounded like in the cartoon, but this one certainly doesn't sound like Natalie Portman. One drawback of marketing the show to kids is that the action scenes are excruciatingly slow. This episode especially.

AndyElusive posted:I figure Jyn kinda sticks her neck out for kids getting screwed by the Empire since she probably feels a connection to them. There's that frightened kid in Rogue One and then there's this. I like that the Empire has a regulation that deals with unlicensed pets. Also, apparently we got a twofer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgNnBNvLB2Y This is much more like it. Always good to see IG-88, and the fact that the opening shot of this short is the same as the closing shot of the last one gives you the option to imagine that these events happened literally during the same timeframe and the characters juuust missed each other.
