Holko 9,499 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Hell yeah! TCW actually ruined Sith a bit for me, when I rewatched it after a show binge, and returned to the whiny bitchy Hayden after the more mature, but increasingly hotheaded Anakin of the show.

Then I tried a little later to watch it from the beginning and maybe made it through the first two episodes. Same here; I watched the first few episodes as they premiered ten years ago (!), didn't feel compelled to continue. 2 minutes ago, Bilbo said: The words “Rebels” and “Satisfying” don’t belong in the same paragraph Aw, that's a shame.

Holko 9,499 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 The only satisfying thing about Rebels is how close they sticked to the McQuarrie concept art, and how some episodes handled Thrawn. Also Maul vs. Old Ben. TCW had a big amount of filler, especially in the first two seasons, but I'm sure there are many fan watch orders out there that collect all the essentials. I watched it in a complete chronological order. The Illustrious Jerry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCW really picked up midway through season 3. There’s some good stuff in the 2.5 seasons before that but it’s hit or miss. A lot of it gets better once you’ve seen the whole thing but there was a point in season 3 where it just took off and was largely magnificent from there on out. Few bumps but still amazing overall.

mstrox 6,647 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I liked Rebels! Never lived up to the best of Clone Wars though. I think Rebels worked as a nice epilogue for Ahsoka, Maul, Rex, and Hondo. But I’m not really about capital-P Plot as an end-all be-all, especially in an adventure serial like Star Wars. Even the weirdest later arcs like the four droids in the wilderness and Jar Jar and Mace’s Big Adventure were good fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the big problem isn’t the fact that hes cgi, the problem is he’s a cartsoon character in live action. Obviously being in a cartoon takes that negative away.

Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I watched a couple of the so-called "good" episodes and they were exceedingly mediocre and boring. I really don't get the appeal of this series Hurray for the people who liked it I guess. I will say that the music was a tiny bit better than how I remembered it. I still wouldn't say I liked it but it's at least relatively competent. James and Taikomochi 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once they shed the banal, useless, diversionary stories to fill-in time Clone Wars had some great moments - enough so to flesh out the relationship between Anakin and Obi-Wan, and Ahsoka.

I don't want the market to become saturated with milkings and spin-offs. I want for the films to regain their stature and stand as something we can watch over and over again like I imagine many people did between 1983 and 1999 (or 1997). Not for Star Wars to be reduced to another franchise name that has had too many different incarnations and continuations for its own good. Oof, that comment did not age well.

The idea that Star Wars was over-saturated back in 2008 compared to now, or that it could possibly go back to how it was in the '90s, did not age well.

Arpy 4,145 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I'm in the process of watching the whole series in chronological order and it's great - brings humanity to so many aspects the Prequels are shat on for and enhances them in a way Lucas wasn't able to. Anakin's character is fleshed out, the clones are given their own personalities and story arc which leads into RotS and Order 66. Jar Jar is even more of a bumbling prick, which is actually surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus we already know from the Ahsoka book (which was released in 2016!) that she does indeed beat and temporarily capture Maul during the siege of Mandalore. He eventually escapes when the clones turn on Ahsoka. We literally already know almost everything that will happen in this Mandalore arc. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mstrox 6,647 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Ahsoka is good as hell. Saw this video on Twitter yesterday. Maul got sliced in half in his first battle with a Jedi padawan, and at the end of his road he gets killed before he even swings his saber. Why would him losing 1 to 1 versus a different padawan (trained and war-tested as displayed in 6 previous seasons) be controversial to this loudmouth?

Bilbo 3,709 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Maul looks cool so therefore he must be the most badass. also, Ahsoka is a girl so that probably rankles with his fragile masculinity. Holko and mstrox 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
