I hope they explain how Morgan is a Nightsister but looks like human

Do I need to watch another show before watching this? I've been out of the Star Wars loop for a minute

Rebels only if you want to, but really you dont
They seem to be doing a good job of explaining shyt

when it comes down to it, it's just a matter of whether the writers want to kill off a character or not, it is what it is

Star Wars isn't something I watch for realism so I'm not pressed about it, it's not like I wanted Sabine to die anyway

Well STFU then this for people really locked in on the fantasy of Star Wars not casuals.

Legit shocked how poorly y'all received this show. I guess I'm on an island then

You’re not alone. Bunch a fan boys that get upset if it’s not exactly portrayed from a cartoon series is ridiculous

Wait I thought it was just that Sabine not dying to what pre Disney was considered a fatal blow. What else they complaining about?

I'll admit Sabine's actress's performance has been meh to me. But nothing worth complaining about tho.

One thing I hate is passive aggressive posters who to much of a bytch to quote somebody Directly but wanna say some slick shyt. Get the fukk out the thread then

You shouldn't really be surprised, nobody hates Star Wars more than Star Wars fans

Cool, I saw seasons 1 and 2 of Mandy.

I think there's only one brief scene in Mandalorian season 3 that mentions that there's an Imperial Remnant faction out there looking to track down Grand Admiral Thrawn, and it's part of multiple parallel efforts to revive the Empire. That's it.

I've seen some reviews out there that say in effect "*I* like it as a Rebels fan, but casual fans are going to be confused!"

Well, I've never seen an episode of Rebels, and I'm not confused. I don't need to know who "Ezra" is to know that he's lost with this Thrawn guy and the characters miss him, what else do I NEED to know for that to make sense? .

It's like in Star Wars when Leia says that Obi Wan fought in the Clone Wars. We don't NEED a whole multi-season show on order to understand that line as far as it relates to Episode 4.

So all the comments that say "you need to do HOMEWORK before you watch this show" are wrong, IMO.

Yeah and plus there are things going on that even if you did follow the cartoons it's totally new.
The rogue jedi and his apprentice are brand new.
Sabine being Ahsoka's apprentice is something new every one is going to be learning about. I don't even remember them being on screen together in Rebels

I was exaggerating a little bit but people have talked about the performances not adding up to the personalities of said character in the series which were valid tbh. I just think you’re setting yourself up for failure if you try to hold these adaptations feet to the fire of another show. Personally I think Rosario Dawson was moving way too slow and cumbersome to be a Jedi but hey it’s a show at the end of the day. Trash it if you’re going to trash but don’t hold it to unrealistic expectations.

I think Dave Filoni is not great at directing live action yet. He has the actors pause after every line as if they're still doing voiceovers.
The 2nd episode (directed by someone else) flowed better.

Well I do think people need to realize that animation -> live action aint a simple 1:1 thing. I agree best to not overthink since both animation and live action have their own advantages.

The most staggering thing from both episodes for me were the constant shots of Ahsoka delivering a line of dialogue, crossing her arms and doing a pose. If felt very video-gamey.

But it's a nitpick and I can absolutely enjoy the show regardless.
