yeah, I was wondering why they blew up the minister's ship BEFORE the rebels had a chance to board.
then, oh, tracker.
It was Billy! Boy this episode had everything. And while Ian didn't reprise his role, the voice of the emperor was so good I could have sworn it was the real deal. Far and away better than clone wars. (although I still think the world of Tim Curry as a VA it just wasn't a good fit for him) The plot armor was high in this episode it seemed. The entire time I was thinking Vader could kill them easily. But then it came apparent he let them go to allow them to lead him to the rest of the rebels, which was a proven Imperial tactic as seen in the original movie. And now that Vader knows about Asoka things are only going to get MORE interesting moving forward. I can't wait.
I just wish the Minister hadn't been killed off as she seemed to be the sort of an inbetween character with a little more depth than the usual all good or all evil you see these days.
Yep, I figured they were building up to this, and I think Ahsoka's a goner.
Bump.
Season 2 continued a couple of weeks ago. Not a whole lot happening so far aside from some interesting revelations about some of the Clone leaders.
What's with the sporadic release schedule? If they don't get viewers, it's their own fault.

thx. I thought the season started at the beginning of Nov.
the 2 commanders with capt rex, were they ever in the clone wars cartoon?
and why didn't capt rex have any odd side effects of taking out his chip like the 2 commanders?
I wonder if they're going to show what happened to commander Cody?
Basically the other two were a bit off to begin with. Rex was always the sane one. Wolffe had his eye poked out and had to deal with C-3PO. Gregor got amnesia, got his memory back thanks to R2-D2 and a bunch of other droids, and then apparently didn't die while covering said droids' escape. He only had one appearance (Missing in Action) which is why he's otherwise unmemorable.thx. I thought the season started at the beginning of Nov.

Just saw the last episode. I'm unimpressed with the new inquisitors. They just seem so... "Gentle" I guess is the word. The first time you see Darth Vader you knew he wasn't someone to fuck with. He picked up a rebel like a toy, strangled him with his bare hands and cast him aside like a piece of trash within a minute of screen time. He laid down the law and didn't waste any time doing it.
I realize it's a kids show and it was likely the Inquisitors assignment to bring in Ezra alive for "Rehabilitation" or something, but never the less I wish their first appearance was more memorable. It was like they were trying not to nick any of them with their lightsabers. Such as it is they're like the Saturday morning cartoon show villains that capture the good guys, have them at their mercy then let them escape no worse for wear. Like a couple dopes.
Are all inquisitors the same rank or are there tiers? Does the one from season 1 have a specific name? I think Sarah Michelle Gellers character is an assitant to this inquisitor or is one herself. Might be funny to have her fighting Kanaan, who is voiced by her real life husband.
edit: i didnt watch much of Clone Wars, was this the first mention of clones being controlled by microchip?
That was the one where one of the clones started killing the other guys in his squad, right?Yeah, the implanted obedience chips was like a three episode arc in Clone Wars. Check out Season 6 sometime if you're bored waiting for the next Rebels episode. Also kanaan pales in comparison to Tano as far as training is concerned. Marvel did a 4 issue comic detailing his past and it looks like he was deployed to the front lines of the clone wars as a Padawan roughly in the last week or so before Order 66. Tano fought in the war for practically 3 years by the time she was expelled from the order
That was pretty cool, but mainly because it reminds me of the ship Excalibur in Crusade (the B5 sequel). I think it used multiple energy sources that got focused into one beam.B-Wing! (The "B" stands for Bitchin')
Though I don't remember the B-Wing being able to do that in X-Wing...
All the way back to episode 4 Imperials were bloody useless, failing to connect with any of their shots. Sometimes they can't even get through a door way without banging their head. Over the course of the entire star wars trilogy you only see leia ever actually get hit by a Stormtrooper. (Employee of the month right there).
