    Hondo Ohnaka will indeed be there. We see him in the trailer. His "beard" scales have grown much longer since the Clone Wars.

    Ah fair, I'm just going to wait for Season 2 to completely finish before I watch all of it just like I did with Season 1.

    The Clone Wars got better in the later seasons. As for animation style, I much prefer the clone wars to Rebels. I still can't warm up to Rebels but maybe it will grow on me like The Clone Wars did.

    For me, Rebels hit on all the points that made me fall in love Star Wars when I was a kid. Sure some parts are a little corny and cliche, but Star Wars has always been that way. For some reason I absolutely LOVE Chopper, I'm sure most view him as poorly as Jar-Jar, his practical jokes and that droid "laugh" after his pranks just kills me XD

    The fan service so far in Rebels has been exceptional and season 2 sounds like there is plenty more in store, and I'm sure there's lots I'm missing because of skipping Clone Wars.

    Well there is one very important character that came out of Clone Wars that is in Rebels

    The Clone Wars can be a little hit-or-miss sometimes. There are some absolutely amazing episodes, in a lot of different ways, (and some pretty hilarious ones) but there are also a number of them that didn't feel special to me at all.

    When Clone Wars first came out, I gave it a look and then passed on it. Later, I caught some mid-series stuff that blew me away, went back and watched the whole thing - it does build nicely over time, so I don't want to recommend some "skip the first X episodes" or anything... I guess I'll just say: watch it when you want to and have some time, start at the beginning, and give it a fair shake instead of ditching after an episode or three doesn't catch you.

    Terrible show, on the same level of bad as the clone wars cartoon where darth maul came back to life with robot spider legs. Let disney shit up the universe, star wars died when disney bought it and decided to whore it out for as much money as they can get. Clone wars cartoon retcons the entire republic commando series which is arguably one of the best in the star wars library.

    RIP starwars

    what ive heard awhile back is that the plan is to end rebels after season 2 or season 3 and once force awakens has come out to start a new show taking place in the current time period of the movies.

    the time between episode 3 and episode 4 is a time they wanna do alot of spin off movies in so theres really only so much rebels can cover before it starts to overlap. also from what ive heard some of the rebels characters will show up in future movies/shows.

    so basically rebels is just an inbetween show that somewhat sets up some of the stuff in force awakens and then can be ended once all the stuff in the current time is finalized and planned out.

    I hope that the show will last longer than 2 or 3 seasons. They should at least cover enough to link it to the events of A New Hope. In the rolling text of ANH, its is said that the Rebel Alliance just won its first great victory in which they recovered the plans of the Death Star. I want to see that battle.

    Yeah, that is the plot of the first stand alone film.

    Everyone knows that it was Kyle Katarn who stole the plans though.

    Yeah... Somewhere in another dimension.

    So, that's what Rogue One is all about. Looks promising.

    Finally got around to finishing the series the other day since S1 was free to stream on starwars.com. The first half was little uneventful which is why I kinda forgot to keep up with the show, but by the finale I was definitely hooked. Season 2 looks like it's going to be awesome. Especially with a bunch of characters from Clone Wars returning.

    Season 1 was just the set up.

    Our team of Rebels have joined the Rebel Fleet commanded by Commander Sato (George Takei). They recieve a message from Minister Tua. She's afraid for her life and wants to defect in exchange for crucial informations. The Rebels accept to retrieve her from Lothal. When they arrive at the heavily blockaded world, Kanan and Ezra feel a cold and foreboding presence...

    Excellent episode overall. Things are really getting darker. They've made a good use of Vader too. Kanan and Ezra are of course no match against him. My guess is that Vader will be used scarcely during the season. The pair of inquisitors we saw in the season trailer will probably become the main antagonists. An interesting theme of the show is how the rebels' actions for the good of the people will have dire consequences for the people and that they have to accept that.

    I enjoyed this episode. Still would prefer it to have no Jedi beyond cameo roles but bleh, can't have everything

    I just have this 'cold' feel that we just saw the best episode of the season already... no more Vader and Emperor for a while, thus no more Jedi, nor Sith fighting, just a bunch of low-skilled padawans against low-skilled red-sword wielding freaks.

    Anyway, the space battles are pure sex.
