Well - it’s here! The first two episodes are on Disney+
Keen to hear what everyone’s thoughts are. Needless to say, there will be lots of spoilers in this discussion.
I really liked it. Felt like a solid continuation of Rebels, a bit slow at times, but overall a solid setup for what could be a very interesting and exciting series.
I feel like we should be able to guess the identity of the masked third Sith-esque villain. Don’t think it’s a fallen Ezra (too boring a plot line) but the stance and mannerisms seemed very familiar…
Also - great to see Kevin Kiner doing the music! Nice callback to some Rebels motifs here and there.
I would’ve liked to see Vanessa Marshall as Hera, I felt her voice was so uniquely matched. This Hera seems way too girly for a maternal older Hera. And where is her son?
Hoping for a Freddie Prinze Jr cameo.
Dave Filoni must be so happy to finally tell this story. Can’t wait to see what comes next!
Anyone want to take a guess as to the identity of the third villain lightsabre fighter? Whilst watching in our house, we dismissed "corrupted Ezra" for being too predictable. Then a Night-Sister-resurrected-evil-Kanan was suggested...
I'm not completely opposed to that suggestion. There seemed to be something specific and recognisable about the fighter's stance...
Honestly I think it'd be great if they introduced a new character rather than yet someone else being resurrected and coming back from the dead. That being said, I did see a theory which would be interesting:
theory
The masked inquisitor is Barriss Offee, who framed Ahsoka for bombing the Jedi temple, which caused her to leave the Jedi order.
Yes, i agree with you on the Inquisitor!
I like the idea of it being a canon version of Starkiller, Darth Vader's secret apprentice from the non-canon Force Unleashed games. It could make for an interesting foil to Ahsoka and "Marrok" isn't far off from Galen Marek and Sam Witwer's in the credits for providing "additional voices."
Oh, now that could be interesting indeed! And much more exciting than my fears about the theory it's Fallen Ezra. Because I really don't want that to be true, but feel it will be.
