MON MOTHMA! THRAWN! DIRECT REFENCES TO THE AMAZING TIMOTHY ZAHN NOVEL! WHAT WILL SURELY BE A JORUUS C'BAOTH STAND-IN!

FANBOY SQUEE! :D

I can't give you any more rep right now but man, this is funny.

I don't know what the **** GoChiefs is talking about, but I'm here for this shit.

I watched Clone Wars and Rebels and expected it to suck, but I am surprisingly into the Ahsoka character.

lol

so there's an old cloned dark jedi in heir to the empire

thrawn finds him guarding the emperor's fortress mount tantiss on weyland...thrawn goes there to find a cloaking device

he convinces him to help the remnants of the empire in exchange for giving him leia's children

thrawn uses c'baoth's force powers to coordinate attacks between his fleet across star systems

of course the thing with cloned jedi, they are ****ing crazy or something

it's all part of a ripping good yarn

mount tantiss was already entered into canon via the bad batch, which is where they took the leftovers from kamino after destroying it

if it's that not c'baoth what the **** are they doing? :LOL:

i'd also wager the blonde chick with the red lightsaber is some kind of mara jade stand in

i'd also wager those three very large, fat starships we saw are the dreadnaughts thrawn uses in his attacks on the new republic...they come from a fleet called the katana fleet, which disappeared before the clone wars, and obviously he needs a lot of ships to go fight the NR so he goes and finds them...i think with c'baoth's help

anyway, you can read the entire plot of the novel here...it's the best post-ROTJ story ever written, and the two subsequent novels are amazing too

https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Heir_to_the_Empire

see this is why people hate kathleen kennedy and the ST so much

there was already an amazing story RIGHT THERE to be told

you have this hamfisted story about the first order just rebuilding like, the entire imperial fleet! outta nowhere! it just happened! shame on you new republic!

dumb story

a FAR more interesting story is an imperial warlord disappearing and then going and finding a lost fleet of 200 ****ing ships so he can take on the new republic

It sounds like Kennedy has officially pissed off Iger and Disney may sell Lucasfilms

honestly it kinda sorta sounds like ashoka is the stand in for luke in this version of the heir to the empire tale

gonna guess we get luke in a few scenes, but they can't do much more than that

unless this is all leading up to an actual heir to the empire movie in a few years and they just go ****ing nuts with deepfakes...i mean we're probably getting 10-15 minutes of young indy deepfakes :D

But could we really be that lucky?

It may not just be KK. Disney is epic ****ed.

Iger handpicked Bob Chepek, let him go for 18 months, shitcanned his ass and came back as CEO, which never happens ever, and is currently the CEO with no succession plans.

That never happens with giant company.

Shit is ****ed up in there.

It's pretty trippy to see Sabine, Hera, and Chopper all live action. I'm assuming Zeb will show up, as will Ezra at some point. Hope it's good.

Can’t wait for the Critical Drinker reaction to this news.

I love Ahsoka. I think the story is going to be great. I'm happy with everything I saw. Chopper, Sabine, Hera, Thrawn. All good stuff. Rosario Dawson feels like meh to me. It should be worlds better than Boba Fett, but that's the same feeling I get. Old, slow version of an amazing character.

Looks incredible. I'm all here for this especially being a big fan of clone wars and loved rebels. Ray Stevenson looks badass too and his Padawan. I'm hyped big time...can't wait to see Thrawn and Ezra.

I'm ready to rewatch clone wars and rebels again.

Just saw spy pic of Thrawn.

Completely ****ing metal.

Good casting. He should make for an exceptional Thrawn.

He voiced him in Rebels. I'm thrilled.

There's an E-Wing in the leaked Ashoka trailer. And Thrawn's face.

That’s just sad news all the way around. The guy was in a lot of movies and shows over the course of his career.

Dude was only 58. Shit that's young.

I'll be 58 a month from today.

Doesn't feel young.

Decade younger than my mom, but I get what you are saying.

This bummed me out. Dude looked like a badass in the trailer.

This looks better than I ever imagined. 6 weeks to go.

I'm trying to keep my expectations low for this, but man that looks good.

Looks epic...I'm gonna try to rewatch all of rebels

Looks really good. And I'm super intrigued about the "non-Jedi" light saber wielding characters.

I really enjoyed the first 2 episodes. Very good start to this series. Lots of unknown. Baylon is a really cool character. Plenty of potential...

I couldn’t get in for around 15 minutes. Has to be a shit ton of people watching this show. Great start to the show once I got on.

Stopped watching after they revealed Sabine is force sensitive inspite of Kanan clearly saying she isn't

Umm….when did they reveal Sabine is force sensitive?

Ray Stevenson calling her Ahsoka's apprentice and then Wren called Tano master.

Yeah but they also spelled out that she's basically the least force sensitive padawan...EVER.

I didn't have a problem with it.

The show definitely has my attention and I'm really interested in who the leftover inquisitor is.

MORE CHOPPER LMAO

I find your lack of faith in Filoni disturbing. Seriously, same reaction I had. But I was making an incorrect assumption. Do yourself a favor and watch the rest.

[First thing I thought it was Kathleen Kennedy propaganda with the narrative change

She literally got stabbed in the gut being a n00b with her lightsaber.

This isn't a Mary Sue situation. And thank god.

You can give the character a little leeway. She's a ****ing Mandalorian. She has combat skills but absolutely no ability to use the force beyond that right now.

I'll also remind you that she is a dumbass hothead who literally ****ed everything up in the first episode all by herself.

No, this is not pink haired Rey.

I watched the first episode. I was entertained. I found the lead characters to be interesting and the storyline to be compelling. I noticed that all of the leads seem to be female but there doesn't seem to be a bunch of grrl pwr bullshit going around. They have strengths and weaknesses. I'll watch the next episode.

Didn't know who this guy was, but yeah - he's awesome in the show.

That's gonna be a tough loss. Not knowing how the season will go, if he survives it, they'll have to re-cast that part. The character is just too good.

Really enjoyed the first 2 episodes. Can't wait for more.

That sucks.

Dude was great opposite Kevin Kidd in Rome.

Round of applause for Rosario Dawson playing Ahsoka and Katee Sackhoff playing Bo-Katan in how both of those actresses have portrayed their characters, and how closely they've nailed the roles to the characters portrayed in Clone Wars down to the nuanced facial reactions. It's been fun to watch so far.

https://media.tenor.com/OeDl5a9rsvAA...-star-trek.gif

:bravo:

She also trained with Kanan Jarrus learning to use the Dark Saber, and defeated Gar Saxon...Still got stuck by a Padawan.

Looking forward to a rematch when Sabine is more focused and has her Mandalorian armor and gear.

also i swear to god i saw the Falcon or the Outrider in the docking bay of Home One.....it looked VERY Corellian, whatever it was

It never even registered that the actress playing Hera Syndulla is married to Ewan McGregor in real life

https://cityroma.com/wp-content/uplo...re-married.jpg

Nice! I thought she did really well as Hera.

I think she looks hotter as a Twi'lek. LOL...

Every time I hear David Tennant's voice now, droid or no droid, it brings me back to him in Jessica Jones. That character left such an impression on me. He crushed that role.

Also Ramon Flowers in Scott Pilgrim vs The World.

https://costumesheaven.b-cdn.net/wp-...e-featured.jpg

Loved the first two episodes. Rebels may be my favorite series next to clone wars. I'm very excited to see whats to come. Its great to see them in live action and feel those are the animated characters.

I thought Ray did a fantastic job as Frank Castle as well.

Tennant is fantastic in any role I've ever seen him in.

Just a remarkably underrated actor.

This.

It's Every. ****ing. Thing. he does. It's remarkable.

Push the button, one lives one dies:

Walton Goggins

David Tennant

Good bye Goggins

No.

Goggins gets the axe - easily.

I think both guys are very much 'character actors' who are a little out over their skis trying to carry a project, but Tennant is just better at it. I think he's both better at nuanced characters (Broadchurch) and just straight quirky ones (Good Omens). He also does great voice work.

His Scrooge McDuck is on point.

So far this show is keeping my interest piqued....

:facepalm:

Sabine will become OP

It's just a pretty damn good show.

I'll be interested to compare its audience retention to BOBF or Obi-Wan. Because both of those were hot garbage and it was pretty apparent a couple episodes in.

This is much closer to Andor and Mandalorian than those two piles of crap. And even as someone who's unfamiliar with the Rebels canon, I find it entertaining.

Disney needs to understand at this point that they can't coast on the IP. They HAVE to make a quality product.

I'm re-reading the Thrawn Trilogy and this show nails the feel of the books. Even if it isn't supposed to be a direct correlation, or maybe a prequel to those books, it just feels right.

Hadn't read the books since they came out. They hold up extremely well.

Credit to Disney - these ladies can fill out a uniform, now...

There are some strong asses on this show. I mean it's not like I went into the show looking for it but every other scene Sabine or Hera or Ahsoka or even the padawan baddy will stand sideways and it's just a 'dayum!' moment.

Just aces casting decisions, Kathleen.

i think mark is going to make an appearance...dude has his ROTJ body back

Given recent Disney history (last 2 Star Wars movies, Indiana Jones 5, Captain Marvel, endless list) and Amazon LOTR I am on high alert for annoying Mary Sue bullshit with annoying “overly strong and flawless female characters that could defeat any male in any kind of combat, etc.”

Even though it is a chick-fest, I think the show is pretty well done and I’m enjoying it.

But all of these female characters have flaws, and none of them show any tendencies of the Mary Sue (which is a common thing with Filoni... he, for the large part, does a good job avoiding tropes).

Ahsoka- She's impatient and has exacting standards. She's difficult to get along with and has issues with trusting others.

Sabine - She's headstrong and has a reckless streak. The Force is HARD for her.

Hera - She's a badass (more on this momentarily) woman of action, but it frustrated by the bureacracy that is "in her way" as she tries to deal with threats.

It's a pleasant change and, I think, a great example of how to do "strong lead who happens to be a female" without it being over the top.

Now, back to Hera. Mary Elizabeth Winstead. Snaps for you, and that wonderful, wonderful posterior. I see you, girl. I see you. It is a "bad" ass, indeed.
