This past episode was indeed a clunker. I'm hoping it does improve because the pilot showed promise and for whatever reason Disney renewed it for season 2 before the first episode aired.

I thought tonight's episode "Rise of old masters" was really good, the best so far. Give it a try.

I thought it was entertaining episode. Really liked the yoda reference.

I notice that both this show and clone wars broke the rule of two sith at any one time.

Great episode this week. The Inquisitor is a pretty cool bad-guy.

No, it doesn't break the rule. There's a difference between Dark Jedi and Sith. Not all Dark Jedi are Sith.

The Inquisitor is not Sith. I didn't watch much of the newer Clone Wars series, but I assume you mean Asajj Ventress? She is not Sith either. In fact, in the original 2003 Clone Wars animated series, Ventress tells Dooku that she is Sith and he laughs in her face and says she is not.

Yes, the latest episode was way more like the Classic Star Wars I've been looking for.

I still think it's not very good. Freddie Prinze Jr. sounds like he's bored to death recording his dialogue. I don't like the kid... I dunno. I'm just so tired of prequel stories...

He was definitely the most striking thing about this episode. I presume he'll be the recurring villain for our gang of intrepid Rebels.

I'm willing to give this show a dozen episodes to find its footing. I always have high hopes for new Star Wars cartoons but Lucasfilm/Disney has apparently slashed the budget on this show to the bone.

There are zero redeeming qualities to the kid so far. Hes just a brat.

He still isn't annoying as the teenage characters were on Clone Wars.

That's the point... character development.

Yeah but they could at least give us a single attribute we can identify with.

I'm enjoying it so far, even episode 3. I'm still not a fan of the animation style, but I get used to it pretty quickly once I'm watching.

Well this one was the biggest waste of 30 minutes yet. I so want to like this show but it's getting to be a chore to watch every week.

I'm behind on the last three episodes but am going to try and watch them this weekend. I've enjoyed the show for the most part so far but its more just a time killer than anything and isn't really too outstanding. The pilot movie was really good but after that its just been so-so.

What's your favorite Three's Company episode?

The one with the big misunderstanding.

What's your favorite episode of Star Wars: Rebels?

The one where they steal something, something goes wrong, and they almost get caught.

The show is getting worse and worse. Its been all downhill since the pilot.

There isn't a new episode on tonight.

Looks like it'll be 1/19.

It's viewable on the Disney XD app. You have to log in with your cable provider's credentials to watch it.

Hopefully its still there when I get home later to watch it because I doubt they released it over a week early on purpose. I believe they usually only show up a couple days early on the app.

I thought the last episode with Yoda was pretty good. A little convenient for Ezra to end up with a crystal, but I get it. Then again, where did Luke get his crystal from?
