I agree. But it does make sense that Sidious would have some kind of immortality thing going on considering what he and his master were trying to do.

to be fair, if we go purely by movies as opposed to the extended canon or the new canon, Sidious didn't seem to care one bit about immortality except as a scheme to lure Anakin in.
(Like, literally five seconds after promising anakin that he can't save his wife without Sidious' help, and after the dude's completely fell into dark and killed like, one of the most powerful jedi of the time, he goes "yeah. now, together we can look up and see if it's possible". which is Boss-ese for "we're not gonna do that")

In the name of the Rebellion was a great episode. Season Four is off to a great start, it seems. Heroes of Mandalore wasn't an exception in the increased quality.

To be fair, I didn't Like how the quote-unquote Supersoldier Deathtroopers were so easily pwned by the trio. but what can you do?
Ezra and Sabine's relation has improved from Angst-Rejection to friendly banter. great improvement.
Also, god do I hate Saw, ugh.
And... did we have like, the highest number of death count in a Star Wars Rebels episode yet? like... you know...

Well, you'd get pwned too if you aren't allowed to kill main characters.

To be fair, It's not like Thrawn was allowed to kill main characters, and he pretty much did well not being pwned by anyone.

Sure, but Thrawn isn't the guy who's meant to shoot at them.
He's supposed to outsmart them. Using the guys who shoot at them.

true.
But are you really telling me the protagonist shield is enough to overcome, literally, years of intense and drilling training? because personally I doubt it. then again, when the majority of an army are incapable of shooting straight, I guess anything is possible lol

By now they should have unnamed rebels tagging along, who's job it is to die and show how serious the new threat is.

Or kill off a member of the Ghost Crew to show that there not entirely plot-proof.

Maybe Zeb.

I mean, they say how "dangerous" their missions are, but it's only the people around them that seem to be in any mortal danger as they practically dance across the battlefield.

But anyways...Carry on.

I would've preferred if they killed off Sabine's mother and brother. I was almost shedding tears until they decided to show up again...damn it Disney,why don't you kill people anymore like you used to in your older animated movies?

Is it just me, or does Star Wars hate artillery and orbital bombing?

I can't even remember one of those being used against anything else than shields, some droid command ships and a Zillo beast. Why are they never used on large concentrations of enemies?
