Been away for some time so this has probably been asked all ready but what do you think of star wars rebels? To keep this thread in this forum instead of off topic, do you want to see these characters as new cards in the next few vsets. Also if so what faction should they be in, all fringe, all rebels or mixed amount several factions?

I watched it online a few days ago, I wasn't exactly impressed by it myself but who knows you guys might like it

It aired on October 3rd on disney and live streamed online.

This is where I saw it (mostly because I was already on the site), there are probably more legitamite sites. Its on YouTube too.

I really enjoyed it. Love the time period. Great to see the Imps back. Baddies that you actually care about. Unlike the Clone Wars, this show introduced all new characters so you have to get to know these characters first, where the Clone Wars started out with well known characters. There is so much potential for this show. I can't wait for the next episode. I was glad to hear they got the green light for season 2. It's a very good time for Star Wars fans. New cannon novels, new show, and new movies just around the corner.

I watched it online and I thought as far as series premieres went that it was a decent start to the show. Obviously I am interested to see what the Inquisitor brings to the fray. The lightsaber work needs a little refining as it was sort of an obtuse waving of a saber catching some stray bolts. It will be interesting to see how they develop the characters as it goes on, but I feel it has a lot of potential.

Yeah I have to say it was a fun watch, but overall was hurt by so many glaring issues. The ineptitude of the Imperials and their shooting prowess is a far cry from "only Imperial Stormtroopers are so precise".

yeah I know the "bad guys" are always lousy shots, it's just when Kanan emerged from behind the boxes casually strolling toward them it was almost as ridiculous as the aforementioned re-docking on the ISD, and made me think Obi-wan clearly didn't mean these guys when he said that line in A New Hope.

I agree I watched it and I have to say regardless of how new the 'new order' is I doubt they were that pathetic. What a galactic problem! Bullies who can't shoot, (only hit 1 guy in the whole show, a non-unique wookiee) Star Destroyers that are basicly just a landing platform any random reabel ship can dock on and do whatever they want. (they supposed to be huge threats and nothing to sneeze at) I mean come on, virtually no defensive measures on that thing? Really?

I know this is supposed to be a kids show but really, do we need to start the show of by showing that the Imperials are totally pathetic and don't pose a threat at all? This rag tag group has more coordination and skill then the entire Imperial forces (who train for that kind of stuff)

I'm not a fan of introducing a totally new jedi that survived Order 66. (another one) It was supposed to be incredibly difficult to survive. I wonder how many Jedi actually survived Order 66. I could see perhaps a dozen or maybe 2. But with all these more random Jedi they keep creating it looks like 30-60 survived, which should be enough to restart the order and combat the Empire right?


*Spoiler*


Saddest thing is we know all these jedi are going to probably die as the don't make it into the original trilogy.

I'm gonna keep watching, but I don't have high hopes at this point.

As to how they might be represented in mini's I think we would need to wait and see what potential they have later on and we probably won't see any of these new characters until V-set 11 at the earliest.

I agree with Deathwielded, I don't like it that new Jedi who survived order 66 keep getting introduced.
The only way I can reconcile that with myself is that the 30-60 who survived the initial Order 66 were hunted by Vader and the Inquisitors.
I mean, in an ENTIRE GALAXY, I guess it makes sense that at least 30 survived, especially the ones on diplomatic missions or Jedi who had nothing to do with the Clone Wars.

Also, I'm not entirely clear about when REBELS falls into the timeline, because if it's recently after Ep. 3 than the stormtroopers should still mostly be clones, and decent attackers.

heres something I found:

The exact number of Jedi who survived the Purge is uncertain, since Expanded Universe material featuring survivors of Order 66 is still being produced. Wookieepedia lists 105 confirmed survivors as of 1 BBY, just before A New Hope. This number is misleading in part because it includes former Jedi who had left the Jedi Order before the time of the Purge. However, even when one eliminates survivors who were exiled, fell to the dark side, or otherwise no longer identified as Jedi, the number of survivors is just under 80.

I thought that Rebels took place 5 years before ANH? Sitting here now, I can't remember where I came up with that. Maybe it was in conjunction with something said when he revealed himself as a Jedi and someone from the imperials said something about how long it has been since a Jedi has been spotted?
