Star Wars rebels

It was CGI

>What went wrong with it?
The same stuff that was wrong with TCW: it was an interquel that tried to leave a footprint that was bigger than the surrounding story could support. The difference is that TCW had plenty of self-contained stories and arcs that sustained its quality as an overall action-adventure cartoon whereas Rebels feels tired from start to finish.

no green buttchecks

Curse you Maul!!!

Studio pushed way too much humor into quite a few episodes.

I actually really like it though, they had some great character arcs and I thought a pretty solid final act.

The empire isn't really a frightening enemy if they never win, and no characters like Ventress and Grievous to give us some perspective on them(at least not in the level the CIS got).

Hera

Because that would provide closure, and interesting perspectives on the battle between barriss and ahsoka.

This. Honestly, in TCW, the Separatists got away with so much crap for a side with like three competent generals at a time, that they were genuinely intimidating. The defoliator, the ion cannon, the entire Zygeria sequence etc.

Meanwhile in Rebels, Vader seems genuinely merciful by only choking people occasionally due to how often the Empire fuck up.

The only really point of major contention that could have been genuinely disturbing was the revelation that the force personifications kinda survived, which makes me side with Kreia a lot when you realise they have the power to turn people to the light and dark.

Seriously, how many billions/trillions died while the Daughter watched Darth Vader in her damn Fursona? Was it really necessary to drop exploring this, in order to make room for time travel retcons? And what's the point of letting Ahsoka survive as a "both sides are wrong" gray forcepriest, if she canonically does nothing for the rest of her life apart from look into the sky disapprovingly?

Apathy is death, you lekku topped bint.

They tried to get the audiences caring about the new protagonists when in reality only anyone cared about survivors from the Clone Wars.

Ezra has a mess of a character arc and every time he seems to be developing as a MC his growth is stunted (not exploring the Holocron and sith ideologies while still being a designated protagonist, dropping that shit at the beginning of the new season).

Mando Chick had leaked plot armor before Rebels came out and had virtually no character for 60+ person of the series, before experiencing some really rushed Mando tie in.

The portrayal of the Mandos in general were inconsistent and equally shitty as their portrayal in Clown Wars.

The gave the Imperial character least deserving of a redemption arc --- instead of the myriad of sympathetic Imperial characters that all died horrible deaths in a comic relief or handwavey fashion --- an undeserved "happy ending".

Bad writing plus Lucasfilm/Disney cucking Thrawn and his potential

5. Wasting said plotline for 1 fight, where neither one dies

9. STILL not giving her unique character traits

What a fucking waste of a good character.
Minister Tua, like most characters in Rebels, deserved so much better.
Honestly after the Sequels + everything in CW/Rebels, Kreia's criticisms are even more vindicated now than they were at the time of Kotor 2's release, and it's telling that her criticisms of the the Force, the Jedi and Sith have never been meaningfully rebuffed or dealt with, avoided or ignored.

No, its apparently pretty okay

Complete garbage. Even lego star wars can be taken more seriously.

Originally Pryce was going to be introduced first, die, and then Tua would supplant her.

But they decided to flip that around when the episode went into production. So we almost had a series with Tua as an ongoing character

does anyone still care about Ahsoka? or ever cared about Sabine?

People only care about ahsoka because either
A. They're a retarded Waifufag who cant see that shes actually pretty fucking bland
B. SJW-Type with "muh strong female character"
C. Both of the above

Ahsoka is borderline Mary Sue who REEKS of OC Donut Steel

Abeloth kills ahsoka then chills out until snoke and sheev's games are done then rules the universe

we only care for her for her meetings with the twins and abeloth . Sabine is only worthy of care if Ezra isn't plowing a chiss by the time they find him.

Wait, what the FUCK happened at the end of Rebels? Oh god they brought Ahsoka back and didn't kill her off for good?

Yep

Turns out fucking TIME TRAVEL was used to save her from the malachor temple exploding/being cut down by vader

Then she just apparently fucks off for 5 years in universe time and is alive post RoTJ

Having watched the show and paid attention, I don't need to watch a review.

worse, Erza could have saved his master. Ahsoka is like, saving my ass is fine but save the closest thing to a father you have would be wrong even it would be pretty easy

To be fair they did explain in the episode at how he cant save Kanan because Kanans death prevented him from dying, meaning if he saved him, he would cease to exist

However
>How does Ahsoka know this?

Its a complete asspull, and REALLY ruins the series, and ahsoka in general for me

>To be fair they did explain in the episode at how he cant save Kanan because Kanans death prevented him from dying
I call bullshit on that, their ship was far away when the explosion hit Kanan, even it was last second they could still have saved him. Fuck Ahsoka, she died on that fighter with Vader, the one now is just a zombie

>Fuck Ahsoka, she died on that fight with Vader
That's what should have happened.

>Erza could have saved his master
Yanking Kanan out while he's the only thing keeping the rest of them alive would've gotten Ezra killed before he entered the world between worlds, leading to an even greater time travel caused cluster-fuck.

...

I don't think Vader's up for fucking these days, user.

It wasn't bad by any means. The biggest killers were the reduced budget and toned down violence. It was never TCW level, but it had some very enjoyable moments. The end of Season 2 was straight up off the rails and every scene involving Thrawn was gold.

Also, it reunited Lucius Vorinus and Titus Pullo. Someone at Lucasfilm obviously liked Rome.

Watch the episode again, user. Their ship was far away because Kanan shoved it clear.

and I saying they still had time to save him after he did that. Heres a question for you, when Kanan cut his hair yout thought "that man gonna die" or it was just me?

could find the episode but I found the clip, yeah he couldnt save that guy, they were to busy watching him die instead of flying away

Ahsoka became fanfic tier unkillable and powerful and it ruined the show.

Thrawn was reduced to a generic bumbling villain who let them escape again and again.

I suspect that they intend to tell that story in some other series or book. They'll need a damn good one to explain why she had no part in the Rebellion during all of the OT. Five years spent on Malachor scavenging parts to put together comms or a ship isn't going to cut it. Five years on Mortis might, but it would have to be a mind bending story.

I was so fucking mad when Tua died

>the Rebellion during all of the OT
Bitch didnt even show up in the new trilogy, and chances are she still alive
>Togruta had an average lifespan of 82 standard years. Those who were keenly attuned to the Force could live up to 200.

>and I saying they still had time to save him after he did that
He was engulfed in the explosion at that point.
>when Kanan cut his hair yout thought "that man gonna die" or it was just me?
To me, Kanan was a dead man walking for the whole series. I thought Ezra was too, for that matter. At least we know why Thrawn and Ezra were no part of the OT. Now I just need an in-universe reason for Ahsoka to be off the board.

Look at Onderon arcs in TCW. You’ll find TCW versions of Lucius, Titus, and Niobe as BG characters. Onderon is essentially the Rome of the Star Wars universe.

but user, Sabine was everythingerong about Star Wars Rebels.

There's no reason they couldn't have brought it over or at least finished what was already in production. They killed it because of how dark it had gotten as time went on with clone horror/war movies and that one thing with Ashoka beheading a lot of people

In a show that at the end of the day is marketed towards kids.

>Remember Sabine saying in her character video before the show came out something along the lines of "this is gonna sound weird, but this helmet is like... My face."

I liked it.

Maybe things would have turned out better, if she could have found a bigger hat.

It focused too much on a group of characters, without jumping to different perspectives. It didn't work for the show because every episode had to be part of a larger story, but rarely did any of the episodes do anything meaningful with their plots. The actual plot was saved for the start of the season, the mid, and the last few episodes. Everything else tended to be filler, which sucked.

>tfw no band of rebels who are off doing the dirty work for the rebellion, getting killed off one by one.
>tfw no stormtrooper stories about heroism from a different perspective.

>wrong with it
First two seasons were terrible
Third season was incredible
Fourth was a whole lotta nothing

I really tried to give this a chance but I just couldn't bother after the episode where the golden stormtrooper or whatever betrays the pirates and "rescues" the chick. I was waiting around for the boomer racer getting his episode or anything interesting to happen.

>Non lewd
more like 'need more lewds'

>clone wars
>Consistent quality
Come on now, even in the final season we still had stuff like the droid arc and the borefest that was the onderon arc.
Ill agree that rebels never hit the high points that clone wars did but consistency was one of the few things it had going for it. And by that i mean it was just mediocre the whole way through

When Star Wars inevitably has to reboot we'll see her again.

Since Thrawn hooked Ezra up with a harem of Force sensitive Chiss navigator cuties, Ezra doesn't WANT to be found.

Most of Star Wars is shit and the only way to derive enjoyment from it is to selectively ignore the worst.

“Imperial Super Commandos”. They don’t interact much. Keven McKidd as Fenn Rau and Ray Stevenson as Gar Saxon.

I will eternally blame the space aladdin.
The little shit is so cringe worthy that it saps all enjoyment out (what little there were).

Also smaller but still linked problem is the Jedi-wankery. Yes, yes it's a Star Wars, so there are going to be Jedi-wankery, but it wasn't this bad in clone wars. At lest there they were trained by the order so it didn't feel too bad. But here the space aladdin just breezes through with help from former padawan and reasons. I don't think I would go as far as to call him Gary Stu, since the little shit keeps being a little shit but it's close.

And about jedi-wankery, one(1) jedi would have been enough for the group, and I would prefer it to be the not-Ezra, since he has atleast some dynamics going on with the twi'lek whore. Ezra just feels so tagged on that I have a feeling that he may have been added later in production than every other character, it just feels like the group would be in a lot better balance without him and would work just fine.

Happy Birthday, user

He shouldn't have sold his inner child to slavers, user.

If he was going to sell Lucasfilm, he should have just given its ownership to someone else or another company. But then again, if it was given to someone else, we would all just complain about its direction like we do with Kathleen Kennedy.

He’s probably at least happy the Star Wars he wanted to make is done and over with. He accomplished something that was made with his vision in mind. Since he has so much backlash from fans, selling it so he can rest from the franchise is for the best.

>the Star Wars he wanted to make is done and over with
He'd started production of his own sequel trilogy and had 3 seasons of Clone Wars left to make when Disney blackmailed him into selling.

>Disney blackmailed him

with what? Did they find his jungle-fever porn stash in a sand dune somewhere? George can live comfortably with 4 billion dollars.

George donated the cash, half of it was Disney stock.

But corps don't and anything that risks a .01% or above profit loss is unacceptable.

It was okay when it was a rag tag group of individuals going on adventures in the Star Wars galaxy.

Then it became an extension of Clone Wars with half the CW cast hanging out doing the exact same thing as in their show.

Then the main case became the most important group of heroes ever with the new leader of Mandalore, daughter of the previous leader of Ryloth, ultra powerful jedi, and they blow up at least 1-2 Star Destroyers a week. That one crew on that one ship did more damage to the Empire over two seasons than the rebellion at Endor.

>Golden
Please spare me the read, how did this end?

What the fuck is even the point of this show? Nothing ever happens for 99% of the whole damn show. It's just random wacky hijnks with some guy on some ship on some ocean and nothing matters. It's only Star Wars because the title card says so. no adventures, no fighting, no real plot, no fucking outer space.

Filoni didn't have George feeding him ideas

I'm going to laugh when Barrissfags buy a shitty game just to get BTFO again

>Golden
It's technically Katie Lucas' story. Dark Desciple was adapted from scripts from TCW. Had Lucasfilm not opted to cancell TCW, this would've been in the show.

>Please spare me the read, how did this end?
Quinlan Voss and Ventress fuck, Voss almost falls to the Dark Side, Dooku kills Ventress and Voss and Kenobi lay her to rest on Dathomir.

She got killed by a firing squad

I mean, heroes in fiction always progress, that’s one one of the golden rules of stories. They go from small to big-time eventually. However, the characterization needed work. Hera’s progression makes sense, so does Kanan, but the rest of the crew should have stayed small time and not be handed some sort of leadership/elite role. Sabine should have been rewritten to be just a low-ranking Mandalorian from a small clan and nothing else. They gave her way too many traits(Mandalorian princess, tech genius, artist, punk girl) for her to be a believable character.

>Had Lucasfilm not opted to cancell TCW, this would've been in the show.

It also would have gone on for eight or twelve episodes. While it looks fun in theory, it could have turned TCW into the Ventress/Vos soap opera for a long while.
