ezraielorsunriser Well, here we are, 4 years later.It was a hell of a ride, with a rather weak first season, but after that, it went up like Chopper when he was angry (again).The Series is for every Star Wars Fan. The old ones, who grew up with the classic ones, the middle ones, who watched the Prequels and Clone Wars, and the younger ones, who came into the Star Wars Universe with Episode VII.Heck, they even tried (and imo, managed) to satisfy all the Haters, who hate on Disney for making the old Expanded Universe non canon. They brought one of the most beloved Chars from those "Legends" into Canon, and with him a certain race of aliens (although they never told their name so far...maybe in the last episodes now...) The Animations, imo, is spot on and reminds me so much of the old, classic movies. I also love the design of everything, how they made this fine jump from the flashy Clone Wars to the rather simple and dirty Civil War Era.The Characters are all likeable, and each of them gets over the course of the series his moments to shine and improve. True, they are pretty arch-type like, with The Knight, the Rouge, the Brute, the Marksman and the Leader. But exactly this is what's makes them so great in my Opinion. It's typical Star Wars, its a saga, a Story between good and evil, and even though Obi Wan once mentioned, that only the Sith deal in absolutes, its always about this: a clear line for all the chars. You see one, and you know "Oh, hes a good guy" or "That one definitely will screw them up big times, but helps them in the end" or even "She pure evil. End of Story" And that's ok. That's Star Wars.And as a die hard Fan since the Special Edition came out (I was 12 back then) I wouldn't have it any other way.So, do I recommend this series? YES. Absplutely. Not only for the answers you may get, that where open from The Clone Wars Series, but also to be soaked into this magical universe once more. Or as a great Start for one to get into it. May the Force be with you

ischwensen 'Clone Wars', the predecessor to 'Rebels', had its drawbacks and not too few flaws. But it was watchable for an adult, or at least middle- to late-teen, Star Wars fan nonetheless. And it encompassed a large enough swath of the Star Wars universe to sometimes even be politically interesting - concerning this fictional universe's politics and history, mind you. 'Rebels' however falls short on all of these advantageous features. Other reviewers have rightly pointed out the meager quality of its animation. That doesn't bother me so much. Others bemoan that Ahsoka and Rex don't get enough story time allotted to them. Yes, true, but actually they should give Ahsoka her own spin-off because 'Rebels', at least how it was set up for this series, just isn't about her as a central character however much we like seeing her back in action. No, the single biggest permanently annoying flaw of 'Rebels' is its protagonist, young Ezra Bridger the terrible. While watching the show, by now being in the middle of season 3, I catch myself fairly enjoying all scenes he's not in. But since Ezra is the main character of the show, these better parts are spread out rather thinly. So, slowly but surely a certain aggression starts to build up towards this pesky figure. And the fun you're having watching a Star Wars series is severely diminished when you're hoping - more and more strongly - for the main protagonist to be killed off soon (or locked away in some remote boarding school, to keep this review civil). How come? It's easy to decipher how Ezra is designed as a character. Troubled conflicted teenager, reckless young male with a lot to learn but, of course, also with much potential, albeit driven by his inexperienced impulses, haunted by a difficult past, and so on etc. pp. All this done well wouldn't necessarily have predestined him to be such a glaring failure as a show's anchor. So, in my opinion, it is not his "design parameters" per se that pose the problem, but their execution. Ezra, as a person, is being served to us comprised from the same assortment of shallow clichés as nearly all the other characters in this show. But they don't have to carry more than half of 'Rebels'' screen time, and aren't as central to the unfolding story. And: they are not as stupid as Ezra is, or as annoyingly irresponsible in a very stereotypical, and foreseeable, way. I mean, most of the time the flaws of the main character of 'Rebels' serve as the episodes' main story driver. That soon proves to become a huge burden to the development, or evolution, of this series, also its likability. And speaking of which, 'Rebels' really doesn't succeed in endearing Ezra to me (us?) despite, or actually because of, his catastrophe prone behavior as in other shows employing the same plot device. No, Ezra endangering everyone around him for no good reason just proves himself to be a clichéd fool. Well then, how to rate a show where the main protagonist continues to be a bothersome jerk? I've decided to not overlook this big flaw in favor of the many smaller characters and other elements I do enjoy in 'Rebels'. And since I have also begun trying to be stricter in my ratings, even downgrading some older ones, so they may become more meaningful again, I settled, with a heavy heart concerning a Star Wars show, for a 5/10.

connorb-90322 Star Wars Rebels is a Star Wars TV show set between Star Wars 3 and Rogue One. It follows the group of rebels and their fight against the empire while building the rebellion as we know it. While the first season is not fantastic the second and third seasons are defiantly a step in the right direction.We follow the character named Ezra Bridger who is an orphan on the empire controlled planet of Lothal. Ezra ends up joining a small group of rebels in their fight against the rebellion while he is trained in the ways of the Jedi.If you were disappointed that The Clone Wars ended with a lot of unanswered questions. Then you will be happy to hear that a lot of those questions are answered in this show. While also bringing up some new questions. For anyone that is unsure if they would enjoy Rebels or not I urge you to go give it a try because it is a great show.8/10

Cabritoviskense Sukably Star Wars Rebels is a joke, it seems to be a good show when you watch the trailers but,it isn't, everything is childish, the protagonists never are in danger, the Empire military is made of paper everything the rebels do kills one imperial Stormtrooper or a star destroyer,most of the villains are a joke they are no threat at all to the crew.Thrawn has the most disappointing moment in the series, he is supposed to be a military genius, but (what a surprise) is a disappointment, he is defeated a lot, in the price of getting "valuable information" but when he needs to put this "valuable information" to work it seems like every other Imperial general could do what he did in season finale "zero Hour". The protagonists have a huge protagonistic shield, which defends them of everything, they aren't strategists, they aren't smart, they are lucky. Conclusion:Star Wars Rebels is a dumb show, with a dumb and lazy story made for children (of 8 years old max, because even my cousin of 9 years thinks this show is pathetic) or for masochist star wars fans.
