Does anyone actually die on screen in this show? I tried watching an episode after hearing so many people sing it's praises, but the characters seemed terribly childish and the violence was toned down to the point of near nonexistance, so pretty much what I'd expect from a show aimed at kids. What are the redeeming factors here?

Yes, two were actually decapitated a couple of episodes back (off screen, but you can tell because of everyone in the room's expression and how sadistic the person who gave the order is). There are a fair amount of cameos from the OT and the characters are portrayed well. It starts out light in tone and gets progressively darker, just like The Clone Wars did. Some of the episodes suck (Droids in Distress and The Imperial Academy, I am looking at you), but it starts to pick up towards the end of the season.

My reaction to Darth Vader being in the Season 1 finale:

 

He should arrive just as the Rebels escape or one of them should die. 

When Vader appears things should always be super serious, I hope they don't turn him into the General Grievous of this show.

Grievous did a least get better later on (like in the Maul comic that takes place after "The Lawless" and the uncompleted Kyber Crystal arc). Perhaps that was their way of making it up to the fans. Although, I think there's little cause to worry about how they'll portray Vader because Grievous was always intended to be a coward. What happened was that Tartakovsky took a lot of creative freedom when portraying Grievous in the Clone Wars micro-series, so naturally there were fans that had this expectation of the character that was later contradicted.

And that ends the Season 1finale… with Ahsoka revealed to be Fulcrum.

You might want to edit them spoilers in the title. 

 

I haven't seen it yet, fairly certain that you might have just revealed

Yeah, sorry, still glad that she's in the show:

So the rumors were true... What do I do with my tinfoil hat now?

I wonder if they'll keep Vader in his original place as Tarkin's subordinate for the span of the show. He did not seem like he had attained any "official" high position among the imperials until after A New Hope, seeing his character brought back to that will keep the show in line with the film & let Vader be explored in a relatively fresh way.

[Vroom Vroom]

Just watched it, best episode yet. I'm very surprised that

Spoiler

they killed off the Inquisitor, also a tad bit disappointed because we never got to learn who he really was. At least they are marking up Vader as a force to be reckoned with, I gather that the Inquisitor offed himself because he knew that Vader would kill him or that the Emperor would torture him for his failure. "There are far greater things to fear than death." Ahsoka appearing was awesome, I figured Fulcrum was a Jedi and I figured that she'd appear in the show at some point, but not this soon, never would have put the two as being one in the same together before this episode came out tho. I sort of had Fulcrum pegged as Obi-Wan who should have a lot of free time on Tatooine   

 

 

I kind of feel like it is a mistake getting to Vader at this point (unless Season 2 is going to be the last season ), I feel like they should have sent in more inquisitors instead and when they failed had Vader show up (season 3 or 4). This'll be interesting though, I can't wait to see him choke people. I was really surprised that the episode was 30 minutes instead of an hour long, but the trailers made me believe that

Spoiler

there would be a massive space battle over Mustafar.

.  

 

Great show, I can't wait for season 2. Let the death toll continue to climb 

 

Edit: If

Spoiler

the inquisitor survives some how, it will be one of the greatest *** pulls of all time, even bigger than Darth Maul surviving. There was no way for to get off that ship, considering how he fell in the reactor and got melted and all before the ship even blew up. I'd figured that him and Kanan were going to duel on Mustafar and he was going to fall in the lava and get Vaderized, one of the trailers showed the Inquisitor hanging onto the ledge for a brief second, but the reactor exploding looked like lava in it.

So I guess this is worth watching then? I kinda forgot about it......

Definitely worth watching. If you like The Clone Wars, you'll like this show.

I wouldn't fully say that, it is valid to say that the show is lighter and softer than Clone Wars because of Disney. They even had to get Tarkin and now Vader to show up to change that

The Clone Wars started out really kiddy-ish too, in fact it was more so. It took it until about Season 3 to start to get dark and gritty if I recall correctly. It takes 5 or 6 episodes for things in Rebels to really heat up and episode 11 has implied decapitation which is something that we didn't get until Season 5 of the Clone Wars. The Season Finale was also dark and the ending has some dark implications for the future of our heroes and what they must face.

The entire cast has to die just so it actually fits with the original trilogy.

[Vroom Vroom]

The entire cast has to die just so it actually fits with the original trilogy.

I sort of agree, but I see how they could make it not be an issue, considering that they are just a single cell and are pretty much confined to Lothal. Light spoilers inside:

Spoiler

Kanan was never a full Jedi, he became a Padawan, which makes his training of Ezra unofficial and their claims of being Jedi somewhat dubious. This could still fit with Yoda telling Luke that when he dies he shall be the last of the Jedi.

 

Although, Dave Filoni has talked about potentially animating a portion of Return of the Jedi to have the cast of the Ghost present for the assault on the Death Star 2. I'm looking for a source, but I'm not having much luck, so just mark this one up as being for the rumor bin, I guess.

Edit: I can't find it, but I did find a good interview with Dave Filoni: http://www.starwars....s-rebels-part-2

 

Here is something that I covered in the spoilers tag, it explains it better than I did and without spoilers: 

 

 

StarWars.com: I have a bit of a continuity challenge for you. In Return of the Jedi, Yoda tells Luke, “When gone am I, the last of the Jedi will you be.” But now he knows that Kanan and Ezra are out there. We obviously don’t know at this point what will happen to them, but is that something you’re aware of?

 

Dave Filoni: I don’t see it as a challenge at all. It’s what the Sith call an absolute. When Obi-Wan says to Luke, “Your father was the greatest starfighter pilot in the galaxy,” is that true? Or is that something you tell a kid because you want him to believe his father was great? It doesn’t have to be empirical or absolutely true. Saying Luke is “the last,” is that a singular thing, or is he the last of a group? I don’t know.

 

It definitely is something that comes up, and we discuss that moment all the time for what it could mean. It is possible to interpret it as, Luke is the last person that’s following the path as laid out by the Jedi Order, which we knew. The way of the Jedi is not the only way to use the light side of the Force. Luke is taught by Obi-Wan and Yoda, who very much followed the dogma of the day. So, he is the last of that line for sure. That’s absolutely true. But you don’t have to be a Jedi to use the Force. You don’t have to be a Sith to use the dark side.

I'm expecting Captain Rex at some point.

 

It would be cool if he had left the Empire or leaves the Empire during Rebels and joins the Rebellion. It would be interesting to see how the rest of the Rebels would react to having a Clone in their ranks. It would also be neat if had left the Empire and became a Bounty Hunter at some point after the Clone Wars ended. 

 

It would be super sweet if there was a scene where Vader ended up calling in some Bounty Hunters in an attempt to destroy the Lothal Rebels and Rex is among them.

I want her

Spoiler

to sacrifice herself to save the Lothan Rebels by facing Vader when he shows up to kill them. I want the two to have a long duel with Vader showing signs of conflict by hesitating, but eventually beating her. Right when she is beaten, perhaps with her dying breath, I'd like her to reveal to him that she knows who he once was and that she can still sense some good within him. I think it would be fitting.

I'm glad they did because it was a neat way to tie Rebels to TCW.
