Star Wars Rebels - animated series

[Mechapilot77]

is it me or is vader's voice intentionally different, almost like they are trying to make him sound younger? when he first spoke i was like...."thats not a good james earl jones vader impersonation"

i do have a feeling we will see less of him (although i hope not) with a new inquisitor coming

It's not a good impersonator cuz it is James Earl Jones. His name should be in the credits. Maybe it's how the writers wanted to portray him? It's been a while since Mr. Jones did the voice. And maybe he wanted to play it more active since the show takes place in a earlier time period.

I think they were trying to make him sound more like Episode 4 and less like Episode 6 so they did do some sort of digital mod to it. Plus JEJ is now 30 years older than when he did the OT.

I'm re watching The Clone Wars again and noticed inconsistencies with some of the episode placement. Season 3 episode 1 "Clone Cadets" should have been shown in season 1 before episode 5 "Rookies". The season 1 finale where Cad Bane breaks Ziro out of prison should be in between episodes 8 & 9 of season 3.

Just thought that was kind of odd.

I noticed that too I thought it was just me Yea im not insane!

[Dobber]

They did that several times with the siege of "Chrystalis?" Which was basically told backwards. It was first shown at its conclusion in the Clone Wars movie and then was gradually prequeled several times to show how everything led up to what was shown in the movie. I agree, it was a little strange how they periodically changed the point in time the narrative was showing. No warning or explanation is ever given either, you just have to recognize that these episodes are backstory episodes.

I looked up James Earl Jones's age on Wiki. Eeek! I hope someone is recording everything he says so his Darth Vader voice can live forever!!

Do we have a separate thread for Star Wars Rebels?

I am currently catching up with Clone Wars at Season 2.

Looks like we'll be getting a new Star Wars film every year which means more merchandise. Rogue One may see the reissue of many episode 4 era merchandise. Tantive IV Bandai model kit please.

I think this is since its basically the same

Does this mean the Interdictor Cruisers are now cannon again?.. aaaaaand I just thought of something even better. Interdictor Lego Set!

Also, the red B-Wing looks wicked.

Barris!

[calubin_175]

I really like how they are increasing exposure to elusive vehicles like the A-Wing, B-Wing and all those starships.

Feels like Gundam side stories with MSV designs.

That's why I like war sci-fi so much as they could always slot in new scenarios to make use of more weapons.

Captain Rex's Phase II helmet is back.

[TangledThorns]

IN! Glad they are going the more serious darker route with this series. It would of been doomed if they didn't.

[mechaninac]

Ooooo! And only 5 more days too... can't wait.

[Black Valkyrie]

Love the Seventh Sister, gonna get her action figure .

[Dangard Ace]

Buffy is still hot.

[derex3592]

yeh she is. Awesome. Can't wait for Season 2!!!

[Black Valkyrie]

Mmmmm........ Buffy fans , first pic of her action figure,

[Mommar]

Who is making that figure?

[Vepariga]

S2 starts up this week, WOOO. ready for that Vader/Ahsoka build up hype!

[mechaninac]

^ Tonight, as a matter of fact.

[Hikuro]

Who is making that figure?

Most likely hasbro.

[Mog]

^^meaning the articulation will be severely limited, and the paint apps will stink.

After tonight's episode,

I can't be the only one screaming "When did you remove your chip, Rex?! Before or AFTER Order 66?! And where were you when Vader marched into the Jedi Temple?"

Like Teddy KGB in Rounders, I feel so unsatisfied.

[Negotiator]

Just marathoned rebels. all caught up. Sometimes the cg looks looks so real (not including characters). Pretty excited how this all pans out. I'd hate to see any of the clone wars characters die...

Hope they make a good 6" Sabin figure w/ helmet and no helmet option one day. Also Chopper is so psycho would love to see a live action cameo somewhere.

[Sildani]

Sabine as a figure? That'd be nice. Hera too. A grown Ahsoka and old Rex wouldn't go wrong either.

[Negotiator]

I think ashoka and kanan are the only ones confirmed right now by Hasbro 6" black.

[Mog]

Freakin' Ezra!

I really enjoyed this week's episode (Stealth Strike).

And I think we finally got a retconned reason as to why the Stormies are such horrible shots.

Didn't Luke make a similar comment, although not in a firefight context, regarding the inability to see anything out of the Stormtrooper helmet?...

Very entertaining season 2 so far.

[derex3592]

Ack! I'm so behind! ....just bought all of season 2 on Amazon video!, tomorrow is totally catchup time!

[Hikuro]

I got to admit, Ezra is coming a really long way since he began his Jedi training in season 1. And the addition to Rex is great though we haven't seen the other Troopers he came with either......thought they came with? Eh.

I'm still though just waiting for that reunion of Asoka and Vader and see where this damn thing goes!

[Mog]

I just found it hilarious that

Rex, the battle-tested, battle-hardened Clone trooper had a b*tch of a time shooting while wearing a Stormie helmet.

Loved the bit where he tossed the helmet, hit the Stormtrooper with it, and then shot him for good measure.

Still, Ezra capping Kanan and Rex (on accident, of course) had me dying!

For me, I wanna see a flashback to the moment Rex left the 501st or what he was doing during Order 66.

[peter]

The B-wing prototype is AWESOME, love all the scenes with it.....really, REALLY hoping for the X-wing debut sometime during this show.

Shame they made Rex sort of...heavier. Older I can see, but why heavier? I didn't imagine Rex growing old that way. I always imagined an older Rex sort of like Kurt Russel in Soldier.

Bumping this thread back from the dead, don't know if anyone else is watching this, not sure how anyone that isn't in Star Wars fever possibly couldn't be, but there's a new trailer for the return of Star Wars Rebels, and just, damn...

I was super bummed when Clone Wars ended, it had a bit of a rocky start, but was absolutely pumping on all cylinders towards the end. Rebels is pretty damn great so far too, and this mid-season return is looking epic, that "Old Master" looks like a certain scarred, tattooed Zabrak many are familiar with...
