That pretty much summarizes 9/10 episodes of Rebels... you get filler and then a great episode pulls you back in. The hype trailer made this season look great... but nope, we get filler to start it all out. Blech.

And at Saw-l getting some Forrest Withaker eye.

I was hoping for something to lessen the apparent plot hole of the Death Star being designed separately by the Geonosians AND Galen Erso.

Timber

Didn't Erso just design the weapon and not the entire Death Star itself?

Just watched Trials of the Darksaber, good episode, 2nd half of the season is picking up a little more steam than the first half.

Yea Darksaber was one of the best episodes dealing with Rebels crew.

‘Star Wars Rebels’ Renewed For Season 4 By Disney XD

Good news. Loved the Thrawn-Kallus episode. Thought Thrawn may (and may still) have noticed the moved planets on the map.

resinrats

I think that's how he will know which planet is the Rebel base. He had memorized the indicated planets and knows which one is now not highlighted.

Tom Banjo

As observant as he is, I'd be surprised if he didn't immediately notice.

This isn't necessarily related to Rebels, but the new Thrawn book and the Empire's End book apparently both mention a threat from outside the galaxy. It could be that they're just setting up an origin story for Snoke, but it also mean the Yuuzhan Vong are about to be brought back into canon. I sure hope that's not the case.

For those who've played the Tie Fighter PC game, today's episode will be of interest:

Well that was a little anticlimactic

Tom Banjo

Tonight's "Twin Suns" shouls be good, at least. I wouldn't be surprised to see Maul finally die for good.

Thrush

If getting cut and half and falling down a shaft so high you cant see the bottom didnt kill him nothing will.

hdtv00

well.......you'll see.

JTH182

Good episode, lame fight.

Thrush

That fight was bullshit.

hdtv00

Yea I seen it late friday and I was like um ...ok. I thought I was being punked. They seriously spent all that time , all those episodes and that's what they came up with...just unreal.

dex14

Yea... that was pretty underwhelming...

When Obi Wan doesn't give up his lightsaber battle record is absurd, and they've all been like 2 seconds long too

bunkaroo

I don't know I liked the confrontation. Once Maul told him he knew he protecting someone, Obi-Wan seemed to get super focused and pissed and just unleashed that in short order. Felt bad for Maul actually.

TGM

I "get" what they were trying to do with how quickly Obi Wan dispatched Maul, but it should've been at least 5-10 seconds longer. It also wasn't exactly clear by the CGI how Maul was killed.

That very final scene tho, with Aunt Beru calling a very young Luke as he's coming in for the night. Shivers!

GuessWho

re: shortness of the fight... producers explain it here



He was too young--looked like a 5 year old. We're about 2-3 years from A New Hope. Dude should be about 16-17 years old.
Another way of looking at it: Ezra was born on the day Palpatine proclaimed himself emperor so Ezra is only 2 days older than Luke & Leia.

funkyryno

R.I.P. Maul.

I was a little shocked by the quickness of the fight, but I'm ok with it. I think it was good to sort of bridge the gap between Obi's prequel fighting style and his Ep 4 fighting style.
