Star Wars: Rebels
Lupercal:
Can we hope Netflix will get it?
Lee - I know, right? I can't imagine how excited I'm going to be about the new film if I'm getting giddy over the TV series. This is a great time to be a Star Wars fan.
Neko_Ali:
I imagine Netflix will pick it up in a year or so. That's about how long I had to wait to see Tron Legacy. It's still going to be a pain to have everyone talking about it when I can't see it though.
LeeC:
Saw the pilot episode. Not sure how I feel about it. The pace was too fast in my opinion with a lot of cliche moments. Seems rough around the edges but most pilot episodes are (shoot the first season of Parks and Rec was rough!). Hoping it grows nicely. Liked it way better than clone wars so far.
some nit picks:
Empire are big dicks for the sake of being dicks and are super incompetent to boot (no redeeming factors).
The ship gets in and out of places way too easily that its bothersome.
wow they just straight up kill imperials with no remorse. Like ridiculously so. They go through them like copy paper.
I know its a kids show and I am probably looking at it too harshly but wow. :psyduck:
Neko_Ali:
I enjoyed the first two parter as well, but I do have to agree with a lot of the complaints you brought up. Scrambling signature and stealth fields or not, landing on a Star Destroyer without anyone noticing until you were on board is just silly. Agent Kallas makes a nice counter point to the incompetent bullies of the other imperial officers we see so far though. He's smart, loyal and not cartoonishly evil. Aside from the end bit of kicking one of his own men into a pit... Hopefully Ezra/Aladdin will grow into something more than a stereotype quickly. I know he's supposed to be the viewer surrogate but I find most of his character to just be annoying and way to tropey.
The art style.. I'll get used to it. I got used to and even appreciated Clone Wars. But the jarring mix of cartoony characters and by the movies Imperial designs is a bit jarring. Hopefully the pacing will get better as well. It really did seem they tried to fit a 90 minute movie into 44 minutes to make a two parter. There was to much speeding through plot lines to fit in everything they wanted to introduce. I think it probably would have been better to make a 3 part intro.
In all though, I look forward to seeing more. If only it wasn't exclusive to Disney XD.

Ezra pretty much is Aladdin. They even refer to him as street rat! Not ally womprat or anything. He's gotta eat to live gotta live to eat...

I have high hopes for his character and I am praying he doesn't become demoted to just a side character that reports to the inquisitor guy.

I know Vader just went though incompetent officers like crazy but seeing this was just awful. Maybe I don't know ISB that well but again, going through storm troopers like copy paper. :facepalm:

The Storm trooper helmets just look ridiculous. Like bobble heads.
I like the crew so far but I just do not like the design for the jedi dude. The costume is great but his body looks like he was made of boxes. Everyone else has a great design! I hope Sabine doesn't become the stereotypical "crush" character for Aladdin. The pilot (team mom) and the muscle dude seem pretty cool.
I hope the show finds its stride but yeah Disney XD is making me have to find other was of watching it...
