Star Wars: Rebels!

I was like 😕 pretty much the whole episode...that space battle and that fight...way to make Rukh look like a chump Rebels...

Also does anyone else not like the sound effects for laser cannons? The noise they make is just so...bad..

Hera doing as well as she did against Thrawn’s assassin is retarded but I really shouldn’t have been surprised. Other than that, decent episode I guess?

An injured Hera to top it off. However we can assume that he wasn't trying to kill her, I think he wanted to bring her in alive.

That really shouldn't make him any less capable of subduing her. He also didn't even capture her from what I recall, as a whole force of Imperials came and surrounded her so she basically gave up. That's kinda even worse..

Haturs will hate, but Rebels is really performing right now. 🙁

Performing what? Mediocre? Yes.

I'm actually not hating at all, the show being fine when they have their own original characters and actual decent episodes. But when they introduced EU elements and watered them down(among other things), is what I dislike.

The space battles are boring as shit.

Rebels appeal was always the Firefly like character focus's. These wide scale space battles are about as exciting as the opening scenes of Episode III: Revenge of the Shit. E.g. not at all.

Hera's a general in the Rebellion, held a high rank in her father's rebellion and helped him free Ryloth. Is without a doubt the best pilot on Rebels aside from Vader and Ahsoka. And is one of Thrawn's biggest targets. Is it impossible to think she's actually a badass who can hold her own?

I'd take a seasoned assassin and bodyguard over a good pilot as far as ground combat is concerned, especially in H2H. I won't say pilots won't have training if they get shot down, sure they do...but I'm not expecting them to able to beat the snot out of someone who should be far more capable and experienced at fighting in H2H and melee weaponry.

It doesn't help that Legends had set the bar for the Noghri and Rukh and seeing them like this in this New Canon leaves an extremely bad taste. So I suppose there was something to be expected, but instead there was nothing like that at all.

Did I miss the episode where they introduced X-Wings? Or were these latest 2 episodes their introduction?

No they just showed up.

Kind of anti climactic. Was expecting a build up like what we got with the B-Wing.

I wonder what they'll do with Ezra? It's pretty obvious Kanan is going to bite the dust but I don't see them killing Ezra.

Anybody have any guess what happens?

Yeah, I was wanting to see some Z-95 Headhunter action. But I guess that is too much to ask for.

^ I mean it’s you know... Frigging X-Wings!! Which they’ve been hiding for so long... Just told randomly show up in 1 battle.

B-Wings on the other hand had a whole episode devoted to them.

I was expecting it to be the Rebels answer to the Imperials new Tie Defenders or something... Anything.. Jusr mention them at least.. Big them up in some way.

Well it is Rebels, I guess we can't expect a whole lot with the way writing is going. Shame.

Haven't watched this show since the siege of Lothal episode, seems like I'm not missing much.
