That's the only reason you had kids... that and to play with lego's.

 

[JEDI]

they keep showing capt Rex.
what happened to the other 2 commanders that came aboard with him?

ok, latest episode w/the spiders.
still no sign of the 2 commanders. just capt Rex?!

what happened to them?

 

[JEDI]

what happened to the super B-wings that should be laying waste to the empire by now.

yeah, why isn't the super b-wing part of the Rebel armada?

its not like they have a secret R&D base to study it

 

[JEDI]

Kind of a stupid episode.

Alien animals that small that are impervious to ship guns and they couldn't force lift the damn sensor near the ship.

I was thinking the same thing.. impervious to ship blasters?!?!
round them up, skin their hide, and armor your ships!!!!!!!!!

 

[cirrrocco]

wonder what the bird in the last scene meant.

preview for the finale, Maul seems peeved at the emperor, i wonder if he'll take on vader.

Man they go through female A Wing pilots like some people go through socks. They're rapidly becoming the Rebels' own "Stormtroopers". I wouldn't become too attached to anyone in this show with a face obscured above the nose. I'm disappointed at how shabby the corners they have to cut are due to Disney cheaping out compared to Clone Wars. But oh well.

Someone also needs to "normalize" the tech in this show. If it's not snub fighters obliterating Imperial Starships it's rebel cruisers failing to dent some critter with it's mounted turbo lasers. What would happen if a B-Wing fired at an Imperial Starship coated with that spider hide? :hmm:

It would rip a hole in space time as we know it, and Ezra would end up on the Enterprise-D next to Wesley Crusher.

I would call that metal (Heavy Metal 2000 comes to mind at the end of that scene), but 80s rock works as well. Point being that it was something besides cantina or orchestral music.

So I'm not the only one who has noticed this. For possessing superior ships with shields, it feels like Hera is losing A-wing pilots about as quickly as they're killing TIE pilots.

I expect Kallus will be a season 3 thread. As for Ashoka, she's a light-side force user. I'm fully expecting her to bite it, along with Ezra and Kanan in time. The Clone Wars sort of danced around this issue by being set before Episode 3, but with Rebels set immediately before Episode 4, all of those force users have to die.

I haven't been interested in anything game related since SOE took a giant crap on SWG about a decade ago.

Was amazing how fast the buff houses etc folded up overnight, I had a pretty good Jedi going before they nerfed the game to hell and back from players whining.

Even liked my various A-wing, Y-Wings, X-Wings and the floating space Yacht/NAPA store.

I gave so much away then it was sick, just was a ruined game after CURB, after playing it for years.

Stopped playing anything SOE after that. Actually did play one other one for awhile, once I found out was SOE backed, I ditched that one also.

Things like that are why I don't even bother to game much these days anyway.

Still have tons of things just laying around in the past rusting.

Was always funny in the past I'd come into a new mmo and run ito friends from the past in upper level areas whe they were released, we were always like "hey, there man."

Used to happen in a few, even when I hadn't seen guys in a few years.

In the shocking season 2 finale of Star Wars Rebels, destinies will be forever changed and iconic characters will re-emerge in what will surely be the most talked about episode of the season. In the one-hour finale, Kanan, Ezra and Ahsoka seek out an Inquisitor to gain information about Vader, but soon encounter an unexpected ally in their fight against the Sith. When their search leads them to a confrontation with Vader (voiced by James Earl Jones), the three Jedi and their new ally must marshal all their strengths to survive.





Sounds like Maul is going to help them out

I skipped the whole Maul sega in Clone wars.

how did he come back to life?
what happened to Ventress?

He never died but went mad and was living on a junk planet (was only half paying attention while the kids watched.) He had these horrible robotic spider legs. I forget how but his brother found him and brought him to (???) where his madness was mostly cured and his spidery legs remade into much more sensible bipedal ones. He's now obsessed with revenge on Kenobi and the jedis.

what happened to Ventress?

Again, IIRC, her sisterhood of witches got wiped out when Dooku's decided they weren't worth the trouble to play nice with anymore and betrayed them. As sole survivor, she now works as an extreme bounty hunter.

Heh... between the movies and the X-vs-Tie games, I'm sure many of us saw the death-star-style superlaser and screamed, "THEY CAN'T DO THAT!!!"

...or something like that. D:

I suppose it can be explained away that Mister Fishypants did say it was an experimental prototype.


...the finale sounds amazing. Can't wait, but I'll save it for when we can all watch it together!

 

[Sonikku]

Ah man. Poor Ahsoka. :'(

 

[Slew Foot]

Ah man. Poor Ahsoka. :'(

Spoiler

I'm pretty sure shes OK, that's her walking into the temple at the end. And man, did Vader get a whooping

Also, whats with that bird flying around again?

 

[ViRGE]

I do not like ambiguous endings.:| (The fact that this is a Y-7 show is not doing anyone any favors in that regard, since it means you can't actually show anyone dying.)

Also, they missed a prime opportunity to use Duel of the Fates.

 

[Slew Foot]

Heh, Kanan's last words to Hera before leaving last episode, "Ill see you again." Whoops.

Yeah, that scene at the end where you see a tiny figure off in the distance wasn't definitive but it probably was ahsoka. If Vader survived we have to assume she did too.

I wonder if the fact that Kanan lost his sight will mean that his force powers will grow stronger. You know, like the old saw about being blind heightens your other senses. Plus you know he's going to get some really cool prosthetics. I hope he gets the kind that lets him shoot laser beams out of his eyes. The Empire's droids seem to be able to do that so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

 

[LPCTech]

Rebels is the best series of Star Wars. It has the original feel of Star Wars that the new movies do not. The force awakens was like a star wars comedy parody.

 

[Newbian]

So does this mean Ahsoka is turning to the dark side if she is entering the temple?

 

[Sonikku]

We probably won't know until well into Season 3. I'm a little disappointed that they left it open ended instead of giving definitive closure. The show isn't about Ahsoka like Clone Wars was any more.

 

[pauldun170]

Ambiguous ending means they can bring back story lines as needed to maintain ratings and energy in the show.
This entire season built up to the Vader confrontation. Lots of Clone Wars characters. It leveraged known characters to build interest in fairly new show.

Now that the viewership is locked in they can focus in on the main characters.
Season 3 is supposed to focus on Sabine more. Kanan as a character is starting to take on aspects of characters in EU.

They have Maul to generate interest for Season 3.
Perhaps in Season 4 they'll bring in Obi Wan or some other big character.

I was reading an interview with Filoni and he really wants Rebels to be about the crew of the Ghost. Characters from other properties will be brought in for flavor and to draw interest but he doesnt want them to take over the show.

That being said, can Ahsoka enter a sith temple on her own? Dont you need 2 people? Maybe she's really a sith lord, she had more reservations about entering the Jedi temple.

My guess is that the explosion separated Vader and Ahsoka.
Vader can call his people to pick him up. Ahsoka probably figured hiding in the temple and pretending to have died is the best way to protect her friends. If they think she's dead, they won't come back and risk bumping into Vader and his crew. Also she can search for info and sabatoge any capability left in the station.
When she is re-introduced back into the story line, she will reveal that went back into the temple and discovered some artifact or some "important item".
