A typical "intro to the characters" ep
and we got to remember, ppl from 8 to 68 are watching this show and it is on a network designed for teens
Im waiting on the weekend to start this show. I know I was hooked on Clone Wars from thew first episode, so I want to really be prepared.
Can someone help nail down the timeline that Rebels takes place in? It's pre-New Hope I'm assuming since Tarkin is still alive, but it is a bit confusing. How old is Luke at this point? Is he still a baby?
Keep in mind of the purposes of this show is to tie the prequels better into canon (since they don't have the no doubt preferred option of just forgetting they ever existed). Hence plot points like transitioning the Imperial Army from clones to real people. And it is doing that pretty well while being entertaining too.
Only one episode left this season. I'm liking the show fairly well so far and don't have too many problems with it. I'd prefer some better styling on Ezra as he looks like a dork. And Chopper needs to be toned down as he's a bit annoying at times. Plus they need to go to more exotic locales.

Im only at Ep 2 and Chopper is already grating. At least they made a different droid instead of mutilating R2D2. It is typical uncreative crap to put those two arm things on Chopper, and his behavior is annoying and distasteful. I dont like it that he is a central character. If they blew him up I would like it better. And this kid, he is the new young Jedi they are going to groom? Okay. Im still liking this show a lot. They try very obviously to tie this in with the original trilogy, in order to retcon things into it (like Chopper).
Don't worry, Ezra improves as they get more into the Jedi aspect of things. (I still think his aesthetic styling is terrible though.) As for Chopper, they seem to want to emphasize the anthropomorphic aspects of a droid, which we all know is dumb, but by doing so they make the character more relatable to humans -- dim witted ones that is. Why some droids have human personalities while others are merely work horses is rather questionable in terms of credibility and logic but then again, it's a fantasy universe so we just have to accept it.
Don't get me wrong, I can accept, and even enjoy, giving certain robots a "personality". But the problem comes in when the writers go over the top and create an endlessly surly/wisecracking dick of a robot. God knows if I owned a droid like that I'd have that thing in the shop getting a "wipe" real fast.
