I like him, Sabine and Hera a lot more than the other characters. At least they have some originality put into their personas. I agree that this series looks a little too childish for Star Wars, but I think their overall goal for this was to make a Star Wars saturday-morning-cartoon for Disney XD, so it makes sense from that perspecting; I'm not liking it so far, though.Darth Whiffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13571985836648668301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4104469133277555786.post-19644569412514376702014-02-20T17:35:15.693+00:002014-02-20T17:35:15.693+00:00I agree that there are some things in the OT added...I agree that there are some things in the OT added for looks without resonable funcionality, but they're not as recognizable or plentiful as the PT. It's not hard to come to realize that Lucas' vision for Star Wars during the OT's production was more from an artistic, creative standpoint while the PT was to complete the established story, satisfy the fanbase and make gobbs of money. His vision changed drastically once he realized that his demographic wasn't only 18-35 year old men as he'd thought, but that children were also getting into it as well. Once he came to that conclusion, he decided to make the movies appeal to children more (because we all know that's where the money is) so he added Ewoks to ROTJ and all of the childish junk that was in the PT. There are things about the PT I really like, but it will never come close to the OT in my mind. It's almost incomparable.Darth Whiffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13571985836648668301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4104469133277555786.post-88039935215737207882014-02-20T17:21:25.142+00:002014-02-20T17:21:25.142+00:00Has it ever occurred to you that the atmospheric c...Has it ever occurred to you that the atmospheric conditions and gravitational pull of planets vary?

I still ask the question: how does this make sense? How can a trillion tons of materials not even totter in thin air? How could Luke breath from that height when he was outside and exposed? I am not suggesting that Cloud City was a "bad" idea, artistically. I am merely saying that it is brutally unfair to diss the prequels for having non-functional machines/spaceships when the OT has a great deal of the same thing you're blaming the PT for. I love the OT and the PT. Haters are just going to hate.

He's not the childish, bathroom-humor doofus that JarJar was; this guy's got a lot more "umph" to him. He's very similar to something we'd see as a mask or prosthetic in the Mos Eisely cantina and I can see the resemblance to the early chewbacca design.

But I've always been curious about something, and am wondering about your opinions on the matter. Right now it seems that this series will act as the canon for the formation of the Rebellion (obviously). However, the "Force Unleashed" sort of already did that. I enjoyed it personally, and I know a lot of people don't like it much, but would you rather have Rebels story be canon over Force Unleashed, despite how bad you think it's going to be? It seems to me like a lot of people are completely forgetting about The Force Unleashed series in regard to the Rebels tv show.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4104469133277555786.post-63831031041953964512014-02-18T21:18:40.384+00:002014-02-18T21:18:40.384+00:00The "function vs. fashion" thing comes b...The "function vs. fashion" thing comes back to something that I've always seen as a key difference between the PT and the OT. There was a lot more focus on functionality in the OT designs. <br /><br />I always think specifically of the OT X-Wing versus whatever the PT version of the X-Wing was in ROTS as a perfect example of this. McQuarrie and company took Lucas' idea of combining a dragster with an aircraft and came up with the classic X-Wing design where the wings split into an X shape not just to look cool, but also to spread the laser cannons apart so they could cover a greater area of fire. Makes perfect sense from a functional standpoint. "Lock S(trike) foils in attack position."<br /><br />The PT "X-Wings", on the other hand, had the wings that spread apart, but without laser cannons on the wingtips. So basically, in that case the wings did the X thing just because it looked cool and not for any functional reason.<br /><br />I really hope that the ST design team gets the difference and goes back to thinking about the functionality of their designs a little more the way the original OT team did. The Rebels cartoon, so far, doesn't show much evidence of this.
