Did you make sure to turn your TV's motion smoothing off? That makes everything look worse, yet many new TVs seem to have it turned on by default.

We need to front the cash then the outer systems will reimburse us. They're going to reimburse us! Don't let the lying crooked rebel media with their fake news trick you!

"All of it" is a great recommendation, but if that seems intimidating or if you're only interested in the cream of the crop, my essential episodes guide is linked in the OP of the thread. Can't go wrong no matter what with Clone Wars!

I like that by stopping the timer on the bomb, they ended up speeding up the timer on Thrawn finding them.

I have no particular love for the character, but I don't see how the Rebels version of Thrawn could inspire such red hot hate. He's practically a minor character, and he's barely done anything--which is its own complaint, but certainly nothing new for the antagonists in this series. He's also probably one of my favorite voice performances in the show.

Thanks for the link, that was an interesting read. I also wonder if the Bendu has an actual physical form, or if he's more like the family from Mortis. Someone pointed out that Maul didn't acknowledge his presence, which seems weird.

A bunch of the actors and other Lucasfilm people are really talking up tomorrow's episode. Sounds like we may get some darksaber history, and I'm excited to see how a Jedi will train someone without Force abilities.

Cross-Section posted:I'm holding out the tiniest of hopes that they did this in order to fully capitalize on The Last Jedi hype leading up to and continuing from a surprise teaser reveal at or around the time of the Super Bowl. I think it's more that they wanted to capitalize on Rogue One by putting out the Saw episodes soon after the movie. Otherwise the midseason break would've incorporated this extra month. I think it's most likely that the Ep 8 trailer will hit within a week of the R1 blu ray release, same as the R1 trailer did after the Force Awakens home release.

Phylodox posted:I remember watching the season 2 episode where Hera tests out the B-wing and being flabbergasted that the music during the flight scene was just blatantly cribbed from The Rocketeer. Like, shamefully so. Then I did a bit of research and realized that Joe Johnston, the director of The Rocketeer, also worked as an effects artist on Return of the Jedi. He designed the B-wing. That's some quality referencing.

One area where Rebels tops Clone Wars for me is the music. Kevin Kiner has composed for both shows, but the music in Clone Wars often feels like ever-present wallpaper, whereas I think it's used more sparingly and artfully in Rebels. I also think Kiner is allowed to stretch his legs more in Rebels. Everybody loves the star cluster music, and the Ahsoka vs. Vader theme is great too. Plus the Kanan/Sabine training theme! Can't wait to see what he comes up with for Maul vs. Obi-Wan.

tsob posted:Lucas embraced fans and fan ideas more than perhaps any other creator, so it seems weird to find people accusing him of changing things only because they were popular. Not only fan ideas but EU ideas when he liked them, too. See: naming the galactic capitol Coruscant and cameoing Aayla Secura and Quinlan Vos, etc. My understanding was that he fairly regularly checked out the comics, and apparently still does, given that he bought a bunch of the artwork from the recent Han Solo miniseries.

Four more episodes, if you count the double-length season finale as a single ep. It airs on March 25. Just in time for season four to be announced/previewed at the convention in early April!

Covok posted:I think Erza in the Darothmir episode pulled away from the Dark side. Like, I feel that was the entire point of the episode. You could argue they didn't do much with it, but I think that came from them deciding to put the focus on Sabine and a few others this season. It does come a bit unfocused, in hindsight, but I wonder how much of that came from being told they needed to do some Rogue One tying and if that ended up delaying episode writing. To elaborate, animation takes a long time and you need scripts in early. With the Rogue One rewrites and reshoots and the such, I wonder if that delayed their writing so they made more filler episodes than normal to buy time, episodes totally disconnected so they couldn't step on their tie-in shoes, so to speak. I think the Rebels writers were lucky in that their chief tie-in with R1 was Saw, who, from what I've read, didn't change much over the course of the making of the movie. As for Ezra and the dark side, I think that was primarily resolved in the season premiere when Kanan pulled him back into the light during his literal fall, and his status was reinforced when he later rejected Maul. It was all resolved a little quick for my tastes, but (as you're basically saying) I don't think it's really a dangling plot thread anymore.

Standout episodes focusing on characters created for Rebels include Rise of the Old Masters, Fire Across the Galaxy, Legends of the Lasat. The longer I sit with Twin Suns, the more I like it, and not just for the samurai duel (side note: the fact that almost everybody here appreciates the duel makes me like this thread even more). Filoni is an outstanding director and he even makes the boilerplate "ship arriving at a planet" scenes look great.

You've never heard of Pump Station 13? It's the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy. I liked the "If you're so good, Thrawn, why don't you take prisoners?" angle. It's either classic imperial hubris or maybe even a case of Tarkin undermining someone he sees as a rival. Either way, it fits the characters and was a good excuse to create a situation where the Rebels could survive.

Teek posted:Based on past celebrations and interviews after the seasons 3 finale, almost certainly. We may also get an announcement about what the next series will end up being from Filoni. He's been the head of animation for a year now, so we should finally get some idea what else he's been working on. I wouldn't be surprised if the next show is kept under wraps until Rebels ends (presumably after next season), so as not to steal its thunder. But I'd love to be wrong! Either way, I think there's a 99% chance of a season 4 trailer next week, and can't wait for that. We're finally getting to Clone Wars territory where they have enough assets to make the show really look great.

I'm guessing the decrease to 15 episodes might be to maximize the budget for each of them. Otherwise Rebels doesn't have the money to do huge stuff each episode.

The starship speed is 100% an aesthetic choice, same as the skinny saber blades. I think they're specifically aping the feel of Falcon vs. TIEs battle from late in episode IV. I agree it's tough to get used to after the speedy feel of Clone Wars. There are plenty of things that Rebels' budget gets in the way of (hello crowd scenes), but I'm convinced it's absolutely not a factor in the speed of the space battles. In fact, I think space battles are one of the most budget-friendly parts of the show, and that's why I think a Rogue Squadron show has a chance of being the next big animation project.

Lord Koth posted:I'm not necessarily sure I agree with this, or at least there were some very strange choices made regarding space combat if it was true. Just look at the final battle this season - the actual capital ships spent most of the time just meandering near each other at point blank ranges with absolutely no fire exchanged whatsoever.
