General Rebels Talk.

Super cool, thanks a ton for the summary. I'll listen to it next week sometime, I'm just swamped with work .

I love listening to Dave. I watched all the behind the scenes for clone wars and find him super engaging.

I was lucky enough to hang out with him at a party a few years ago (6ish?). We talked for a bit. Other fans were begging to know what happens to Ashoka. I told him I didn't want to know, the journey is more fun than the destination. He said "this guy really gets it, I wish I could tell you more, but I can't".

I'm super rambly and off topic, but I'm going a bit bonkers for working 20 days in a row.

p.s. It is a bit weird I hate the idea of having an avatar but don't mind posting my image or telling people my name.

 

Anyone think that might be Baron Soonteir Fel in the preview for the next episode.

 

Where is this at? Rebels recon show?


NVM I just watched the Rebels Recon show, answered my own question

I really didn't know about this character, I had to do some reading on Wookieepedia. I think that this guy sounds like a bada** and it would be a perfect little nod to legend fans.

 

Even if it isn't him, I hope we get a villain pilot at some point. Why do the pilots never get a foil? They just face off against more faceless opponents.

 

I really never paid attention to troopers or pilots until after I read Lost Stars than my whole outlook changed. I want to see a backstory of the "enemy.

I'll admit my EU knowledge is very limited, with this upcoming episode of Rebels, has Wedge's backstory ever been told?

 

I don't think he had much of a backstory in the old EU, but he was a central character in a great series of X-wing books. They take place a few years after ROTJ though.

 

How does everyone feel with Wedge once being part of the empire? Does it change anyones opinion on his action during the movies? For me, it's always nice to know the backstory for everyone.

 

Sorry, but I had to give you a clouded as we have seen this technique used many times before, just more subtly.

 

No worries. For me, the technique had never been used so obviously in canon. It felt (to me) as if the writers of Rebels were making a connection between Maul and Kylo Ren. Perhaps my perception about the previous use of the technique has been affected by the use of interrogation droids by Darth Vader in ANH.

 

Yeah, I think the interrogation droid clouded your memories. That, and Kylo Ren also using one in TFA .

I remember the Jedi using it a number of time during The Clone Wars. The Jedi don't believe in harming innocents if they can help it, so unlike the Sith it's not as "intrusive". Some were on people who sustained head injuries I think, as they were more susceptible in that mental state.

Vader also used the technique to probe Luke's mind in ROTJ. That's how he found out about Leia. He just didn't need to push as much because he was either more efficient than Ren and Maul, or Luke really let his guard down.

 

Yeah, but there's better sites to view them on.

 

Of course, it's not as if I have ever heard of or visited those sites .

 

one thing that bothers me is they never addressed one of the key reasons why they went to Malachor. The Inquisitors at the end of last season where able to track them almost wherever they went. Kanan wanted to figure out why that was happening. So that old batch of Inquisitors got killed but it never explained how they where tracking them and since we can assume Vader has more Inquisitors why they stopped all of a sudden.

 

Tracker in chopper put there by the probe droid of 7th sister is my guess.
