Ok so spoilers for The Protecter of Concord Dawn episode. This episode was Sabine heavy and very very VERY interesting!

Spoiler

so Sabine states she is Clan Ren/Wren sp? House Vizula(Death Watch)! So that's a CW reference and maybe an Ep 7 one as well. Idk how she spells Ren. The other nugget is she states that is was her mother and not her father who was in DW. The only female DW that I'm aware of was Satines sister Bo Katan. So Satine/Sabine....Obiwan cover up??!! Oh man I want to know more! They just threw this nugget out there tonight's episode and I know other people online will be pondering what this could mean.

Also the Protector was voiced by Kevin Mckidd (Lucious Vorenious from HBOs Rome).

So much to think about!!

I actually thought this episode was pretty lame. Seeing as how the story went I was expecting a wholly different outcome than the one we got. I thought it was a good chance for the show to actually show some guts and it just fell flat on its ass with the predictable outcome.

[QuickTidal]

Oh, you have GOT to be effing kidding me.

So, at the beginning of the new season last year I bought the Seasons Pass on iTunes for Season 2.

I was wondering why no new ep dropped after PRINCESS OF LOTHAL onto my iPad as per usual. Turns out that Eps 1-10 of Season 2 are called "Vol. 2" on iTunes...and starting with the Concord Dawn ep (Ep11), it's "Vol. 3". So My seasons pass for S2 was good for only 10 eps. Now for some reason I have to buy a new Seasons Pass for Vol. 3...which is fucking weird. I mean the cost is probably around the same in the end (S2 is 22 eps as opposed to 13)...but it's just really messed that I have to get a NEW seasons pass halfway through the season.

On topic: Rumour of a HUGE ASS spoiler for season 3 character has popped up on the net. So Seriously, Don't click the follwing spoiler unless you are ABSOLUTELY sure that you want to know about what may be the BIGGEST REBELS bomb-drop character intro ever. Not kidding. This is huge. You have been warned.

Spoiler

Rumour has it that Season 3 will introduce Grand Admiral Thrawn into the PRE-ANH Canon. He will be pretty much how he is in the old EU (a cold, calculating, ship commander working for the Empire). If true, this could be a cool way of bringing him back into Canon without needing it to be a part of the post-ROTJ universe. Plus you get a far more fertile playground for Thrawn over the course of a season (or more) of episodes, rather than just a movie or two.

And it's being reported by MakingStarWars...who have (to my knowledge) never been wrong about any of their scoops. They had the entire plot of TFA nailed down in mid-2015. They have strong sources.

Neat rumour.
be intersting to see whether they actually depict him as he was in the original Zahn trilogy ... they can make as many blue skinned admirals as they like, but Zahn made Thrawn an awsome baddie.

Filoni is apparently a big Zahn fan. One would think he'd do the guy justice. At least I hope. Zahn has always seemed like such a great, laid back guy. Be nice to see him get some New Canon cred.

Also, can a New Canon Mara Jade be far off?

Spoiler

Del Toro

being cast in Ep 8. Lots think that's who he will be.

Spoiler

And if this REBELS version of Thrawn is a young guy, they could TOTALLY do that for EpVIII.

They could, but I'm pretty sure they won't.

Wha....? I was pumped cause she's one of my favs

Mine too, but the story was, I thought, rather bad. The Mandalorians were unnecessarily weak and the protector, despite Kevin McKidd's voice, was a ridiculous pushover.

I actually didn't mind the episode. It was nice to get some back story on Zeb, and the score music was utterly gorgeous and original. This is the first time on the show that I really felt like the composers were trying for something different to go with the mythic Lasat history, and it worked. Sure it doesn't progress the plot of the arc much, but it was nice to take a sidestep anyways.

Oh lucky.

What did you think of Sabine Ep and stuff I posted?

I liked it, and I agree she's probs related to Bo Katan!

[Traveller]

I like the way that purely coincidentally, every time I watch CW's, characters from the eps I'm up to turn up in Rebels.

I just got the blu ray set, and I'm into the second half of S4 - Mandalorians, undercover Obi wan, and Dooku's revenge on Ventress. At this point I'm enjoying Clones more than Rebels!

[LinearPhilosopher]

Latest episode was ok. Im still on the fence with the whole hondo onakha character.

Also i just finisehd cw s5, really enjoyed it, s5 was the best season by far.

[Abyss]

The Zeb ep was just ok. The other members of his race were borderline annoying and the big revelation happened offscreen. The Force element was just... i'll go with contrived, so as to be easy to overlook.

The space whale ep, however, was pretty awesome. Had a glorious sense of scifi wonder to it that I really enjoyed. Even when it was obvious what was about to happen at the end, it was awesome to watch.

I notice Ezra connecting w animals seems to be a reoccuring thing. It's a bit Disney but they use it to cool effect.
