I really wonder what the deal is with the design of Hera's kid.
Just looks so weird.
Just looks so weird.
If it was good scale and had the gunner pod I would have bought that in an instant(even with Hasbro likely asking $100~)OOOO THAT PROTO B-WING. HOT FIRE
Yes me too. Or at least could have made it one of those $5 hot wheels star ships.
I didn't even think about the fact that now Ahsoka is confirmed alive post ROTJ, if she does get a series or something that covers it she has to potential to interact with Anakin's Force ghost.
Lego has also really ignored Rebels. The only sets we've had are:
- The Ghost
- The Phantom (twice)
- TIE Advanced Prototype
- Imperial Troop Transport
- AT-DP
- Wookie Gunship
- Ezra's Speeder Bike
- Kanan's Speeder Bike
- Imperial Assault Carrier
- Vader's TIE Advanced vs A-Wing
- Captain Rex's AT-TE
- Rebel Combat Frigate
- Ezra
- Kanan
- Sabine
- Hera
- Chopper
- Zeb
- Kallus
- Cumberlayne Aresko (not named as such, but clearly supposed to be him)
- Vader
- Tarkin
- Grand Inquisitor
- Fifth Brother
- Ahsoka
- Rex
- Gregor
- Wolfe
- Quarrie (not actually included in a Rebels set, but as a part of the Lego-original series 'The Freemakers')
- Wullffwarro
I do give Lego credit for actually making the Ghost, as well as Rex's AT-TE.
I just hope they don't kill of Ahsoka to coincide with Rey being "the last Jedi."
She's not really a Jedi anyway. She proclaims not to be as well. Ezra they can kill. I only found him to be sorta alright by the end of Rebels.

Ahsoka would be 70 by the time of TFA. She'd basically function as Rey's mentor in between 8 and 9, and in that role I'd expect she'd have to die to comply with the hero's journey.
I can't find a canon source for their life spans, but non-canonically, it's about the same as a human. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Talk:Twi'lek/Archive1
Makes me wonder about Sabine and Ezra on the other hand, they'd only be around 50.
Though Filoni could always pull some crazy shit where the Daughter's life force extended Ahsoka's lifespan.(probably not)
Ahsoka is not a Twi'lek, she is a Togruta, like Shaak Ti. not much info on species lifespan I don't think.
Dammit, I'm an idiot. I knew that and went right to the wrong place anyway.
I was showing the father-daughter-son Clone Wars episodes to my kid today, and in the Ghosts of Mortis episode, there are wolf drawings on the walls of the monastery. In 2011.
I love that they showed the Emperor's false public face in motion. I've read about it, I saw it on propaganda posters in Battlefront 2, but it was cool to see him appear in a good chunk of scene as he shows himself to the galaxy at large.
Palpatine repeatedly trying to trick Ezra into opening the portals for him was really cool. First the false vision of Kanan a couple episodes ago, and again here with the vision of Ezra's parents. It looks like this power is closed off to him without the help of someone on the light side, and with the last of the temple destroyed, he's shit out of luck.
Rex on Endor confirmed makes me a happy boy. They may not have directly confirmed that Nik Sant was retconned into Rex but clearly that's Dave's intention so it's canon to me now.
I have no idea how Ezra and Thrawn could survive flying into space at hyperspeed without windows but I'm desperate for Thrawn to live so I'll let it slide and give them the benefit of the doubt.
Shame that the show ends on the season it finally got good for me, but at least I'm looking forward to whatever comes next. I wonder if it will be post-RotJ.

Just saw the episodes.
Pretty much what I expected, and overall, as satisfied as I can be with the series. I got teary eyed at Ezra's end and think they handled it well enough, although it's weird that Thrawn is syphoned away from the story for now by... space whales. Kind of a disservice to the legacy of his character among fans, even if I don't care much for him.
Great to see Palpatine's propaganda version of himself and more detail on how the gateway to the world between worlds is shut to Palpatine and off limits in the Star Wars lore, for now.
I've never been a fan of Lothal Adventures, but again, it got good as I can expect from this series. I didn't care for the callbacks to the characters throughout the series, not even Hondo since he really didn't do a lot, not like in TCW. His "I would do anything for that boy" line was a bit too much.
But the last flash forward montage was enough to leave with a good opinion of the series and hopeful about the future.
Gandalf Ahsoka, Kanan and Hera's kid and the flash forward was amazing, and the promise for the new series as well. Hope they announce it soon.

Maybe the same way the Space Whales survive? Maybe the whales create a type of force field in the process of jumping to hyperspace that also protected Ezra and Thrawn.
Maybe Ezra went through hyperspace so much it stretched his body and he became Snoke. Ouch!
Just kidding. According to Andy Serkis recently Snoke is a couple hundred years old and does have a backstory.
Watched the last episode today. Really nice way to close it out. I really liked all the characters in Rebels.
Yup, I came around on everyone.
Can't believe even Ezra eventually won me over.
Yeah, same. I've been down on Ezra for basically the whole series, but I finally, finally started to like him over the course of the last few episodes.
He's still far from my favourite character, and I'll always wish the show had used more of its running time on the characters I like more, but 'I actually like him' is such a major step up from where he was at the start of the series that it's still impressive.
It's definitely the best episode. The last musical montage that plays as we see Vader, Maul, Ahsoka, and the Ghost crew all go their separate ways always gives me chills, especially when Ezra activates the Sith holocron.
It would have been nice to get at least an inkling of Snokes story in TLJ.
I mean, that was kinda the core of my issue, to be honest—though the way they actually handled the character for much of the series' run really didn't help, either. Did Star Wars really need another kinda annoying boy rising from humble beginnings to realise he has special powers and a greater destiny as the core of the story?
I just hope they have some more out there ideas for the lead of the next animated show. Like, my dream is that it'll just be straight-up Ahsoka and Sabine (with the quest to find Ezra forming only part of the the overall story) but, while I suspect they'll play a role, I doubt it'll be so direct.
Rebels ... Wow what a ride.
Really loving the idea that Sabine and Ahsoka the White teaming up for more adventures.
Such a great design.
I was expecting that the show would end with the Ghost and her crew, after the Battle of Scarif, barrelling into the Unknown Regions in search of Ezra. The fact that the epilogue instead encompasses the events just after the Return of the Jedi is a ballsy move and the Captain Rex retcon (?) at the Battle on Endor made me laugh.
This show had really great moments, and has been part of our families regular Sunday morning viewing over breakfast for many many years, and I'm sad that The Clone Wars and Rebels is now finally at an end :(

Haha, we need to re-examine every Canto Bight frame in the TLJ.
I've been pretty down on Ezra since the start. I have never found him charming, endearing, or in any way cool. Kanan dying funnily enough was what pushed me to empathize with him. His silent farewell to Sabine was genuinely emotional. And his sacrifice, as much as I knew going in that he and Kanan weren't going to survive this show, was genuinely badass.
Im definitely feeling a bit more sure of Sabine being in the next series,
That seems like a lot of effort put on her new look for such a short scene especially when the hair and scheme were the only noticeable part.
She has an entirely new chestplate there.
I also didn't notice the shoulder emblem was a space whale till seeing this sheet.

I couldn't believe it was not Ian McDiarmid voicing Palpatine, but I knew he didn't do it on Rebels so I thought he surely wouldn't do it here either, but then I looked it up and it actually was him.
For the show, it was a decent finale, but I have to admit I didn't like it at all as a whole. I would never recommend this to a non hardcore star wars fan.
I think most of all it failed with the characters. Similar to Clone Wars it was at it's best when characters from the movies were involved, which of course was in clone wars all the time and here almost never.
Thrawn never lived up to his potential.
Hera and Kanan were certainly my favorite original Rebels characters but I hated how long it took them to find each other.
Ezra, Sabine and that troll dude were complete garbage.
Nice Palleon shoutout at the end but where were the ysalamiri???
I hope Filoni never gets a chance to run a star wars show again, complete hack in my opinion.

Filoni is working on the next animated series. He isn't going anywhere.
He tweeted out after the finale that he and his staff are back to work.
That's terrible news.
Something I forgot to mention, the whole show never built op to anything, it had such a terrible structure. I mean if they somehow built up to this temple situation with such a powerful time traveling/altering device in it. You could have built this up over seasons involving the emperor, vader, even yoda. but then it came out of nowhere. And then they seemingly built up to a death star reveal in the Saw episodes but it turned out to be simply hints and ended up in nothing and had no payoff for the show itself.
Instead there was this permanent focus on Lothal where I had even less emotional investment than the main characters. Goddamn.
