You could be a regular hum-drum Sith Lord draped in black and red and what not.

Or you could be NAGA SADOW and rock golden, spiked pauldrons and a big eye on your chest because why not? Who can stop you? You're NAGA SADOW. Do what you want.

Seriously though his armor is pretty cool.

Keo was definitely one of my favorite squadmates. I don't know why I just found them really likable.


Also in other squadons things they really should make going into a capital ship's shields a lot more punishing. Like my strategy of doing a suicide run by going under the shield, halting and hitting the generator with rockets and fully powered weapons should not work as often as it does.
I do be tired

Too royal for my tastes. Naga Sadow's armor looks like that of an ancient warlord (which he was) and so is therefor better, imo, as it's totally bitchin'.

But those pajamas look comfy as hell. Yeah, Naga Sadow’s got cool armor, but exquisite pajamas, man!

So what's the general census on Star Wars: Rebels.

I haven't seen it yet. Saw bits of one episode when my sister visited years ago and brought my nephew. The Imps looked like stooges, which I hate. Dumb villains don't interest me at all. Especially when they're lanky and green or rounder than marshmallows, which two officers seemed to be. Stormtroopers were fools who bumbled around (lame). Not a fan of how thin they made the lightsaber blades. Yes, I know it's a reference to the original lightsabers. Still looks wrong. Not a fan of the animation style, either. Looks like a cheaper version of the Clone Wars animation style. Thrawn in particular looks goofy and I don't like how they retconned the Chiss eyes from being entirely red to having the iris, pupil, and sclera being distinguishable. The former made them look more alien, IMO. Though I don't think Rebels started that.

Regardless, I have heard about some good scenes and saw some good clips in gifs of interesting scenes but it's really hard for me to look past the cheap-looking animation. Imp officers with their hats covering their eyes, noses 3x bigger than thumbs, yeesh. The depiction of Noghri, Geonosians, and a few other aliens look like crap. None of the Rebel characters seemed all that interesting to me, either. I do want to give the show a shot though but I get the feeling it'll be too childish. Kinda like how some episodes of Clone Wars were, but more like an over-arching theme of kiddy stuff.

So is it any good? Is it generally accepted as any good? I rarely hear anybody talk about the show in general in any light; positive or negative.

I tried to get into it when it first aired but wasnt a fan, mainly of the art style and the more children oriented format the show went for. But i gave it another go when the... third season? I think it was, was about to air and i found it to be enjoyable enough that i stuck with it all the way to the end. And i think it definitely improves a lot after the first season and has some really cool moments and interesting storylines (the stuff with Ahsoka, Maul, Thrawn in particular)

Be warned it is definitely a kids show though (Well more so compared to Clone wars) so the villains can be really fucking stupid at times and the lead Ezra can be annoying, but i found the other main characters, particularly Hera and Kanan really picked it up and were very likeable and engaging almost all the time in comparison.

I would say give it a watch anyway and who knows it might win you over. It definitely gets better in season 3-4, 1 is okay, 2 is decent enough imo.

It starts out pretty bad imo. But I think that in around season 2 it does start to find it footing and delivers some decent content and honestly pretty good moments(the best being the Ashoka vs Vader duel and the Obi Wan vs Maul imo). Its not really great but I think its entertaining enough. I think if your really thirsty for more Star Was content I think its at least worth a watch.

Alright. I will give it a try, though I'm guessing it's all on Disney+ right? I already have Netflix and Hulu so I'm not signing up for that shit, too. Not the pirating type, either. Otherwise I would've jumped on the last Clone Wars season and the Mandalorian.

That girl does not earn the title of Mandalorian in my opinion, but that’s just me. I am for once agreeing with Ameri here though, in that I sincerely did not like Rebels.

It's generally "okay" with some pretty low points, but also contains some of the best moments in Star Wars to date.

Okay I realize Star Wars has always followed the 'rule of cool' but Jesus Christ. Disney needs to add at least some practicality to these designs.
