Star Wars: Rebels!

You disgust me, sir.

You can thank TCW for that emotional moment. Hopefully SWR will stand on its own feet next season, though I'm not holding my breath.

A dark Ezra, a blind Kanan, Maul, the inevitable Rogue One tie-ins,

Spoiler:
Thrawn

There is a lot to look forward to next season.

Greatly prefer Dooku/Anakin/Obi Wan from the netflix episode about the cloner's to Maul and Vizla.

I could see why they cut it out of the series, what with Dooku looking good for once.

@Ares I agree at the very least there is room for Ezra & Maul to develop.

Also concerning the choreography, I think both were equally well done. Palpy vs Maul was only "better" because it was more of a fight, but I really don't see how Ahsoka vs Vader could be made any more perfect, and it was very good quality.

On the other hand I put Ahsoka vs Vader a bit higher because of emotional impact, visual style and the musical score.

Not sure how Kanan being blind has to do with next season being any good and the presence of Maul and a Rogue One tie-in is further proof that this show is too weak to stand alone. A dark Ezra might have potential to it, though.

I wish a bit more time had been spent on Vader/Ashoka. We didn't need a 10 minute duel, but the confrontation should have been more of the episode's focus.

Blind character are always cool that's why.

As for the show being too weak to stand on its own, I’m not sure why that’s such a common criticism. Building off what the films and TCW gave us is the smart thing to do. Plus, TCW was entirely dependent on the films yet no one ever criticizes it for that.

Stop with the TCW vs Rebels guys.

Rebels basically is TCW Sequel.

One of my favorite duels of TCWs.

At the end of the show, is Kanan wearing a "Geordi visor"?

Doesn't Star Wars have bionic implants or something..?

I'm sure every ship in the galaxy can provide high tech optical sensory organs and the surgeon to implant them.

Go to the same place they get all those bionic hands. 😛

Even Maul fixed his entire lower body, and he doesn't have access to Rebel resources..

More of a question of "do bionic eyes exists in Star Wars?" Like how Babylon five just pops in a mechanical eyeball.. Has it ever come up before?

How old is Maul, anyways?

Zabrak are supposed to only have a human life span, but it looks like they age a lot better then humans comparing him to Obi Wan..

The point is we don't know how much time has based yet. These things take time.

They do. Ironically enough, in A New Dawn Kanan asks some blind person why they don’t just get replacements for their eyes.

I think Siege of Lothal is still my favourite Rebels episode. This could have been my new fav, but just had a few annoying things that let it down a bit IMO.

Not sure what the nitpicking is about..? Sure, there were a few things I would have done differently(of course, I could say the same about any episode of TCW for that matter), but all-in-all the finale was fantastic, imo... Thoroughly enjoyed it. 👆

Sidenote: one thing I don't like(which has nothing to do with the finale) is the Inquisitors flying around with their lightsabers like friggin Inspector Gadget... This is the mental image I see every time they do that:

facepalm

Nitpicking =/= legitimate shortcomings. 🙂

There was too many little things that let the episode down though:

1. The Inspector Gadget Copters.

2. The really bad Nerfing of Maul.

3. The Cop out with Ahsoka's fate.

Siege of Lothal didn't have "nitpicks" that annoyed me that much, hence remains my fav Rebels episode. Followed by Fire across the Galaxy and Spark of the Rebellion.

Don't forget the wasting of the potential awesome full on alien Inquisitor.
