STAR WARS Rebels new animated series!
- Thread starter Bryancd
- Start date
Training scenes in general (not just in Rebels) bore me. You don't need to show very much of someone learning something to make the point that....they're learning something. That's what the montage is for.
A little bit of character stuff, and a WHOLE LOT OF TRAINING. Yawn.

But I agree with David as he says in the Rebel Recon that the scenes were not mere training scenes. They were about working to get Sabine past some dark issues she had and getting her to accept her new role. I don't feel like any time was wasted in telling this story.

I think this is a major problem you are having with understanding this show. Just because an episode is not titled Part 1, 2, 3... Does not mean that the story is done at the end the episode. This show is one big story arc with smaller story arcs in a season and between episodes.
My guess is that the Bendu scene will lead to something more. If not, then yes, it was pointless other than Bendu fans getting to see him again.
Yeah, Sabine was going through a process where Kanan forced her to admit the truth to herself about her past that she had buried deep inside. I found it very effective.
And clearly this is part one of a 2 episode arc at least based on the previews.

I disagree. I liked it. I also like when characters without powers get some of the skill or training the characters WITH powers have.

Yes, but what I am also saying is that there are many episodes in the past that have led to where we are now. Not just the Mandalorian ones but even the Maul episode where Sabine retrieves the dark saber. It's little things like that.

As far as being serialized, this show has always been in a bit of a weird middle ground. It's serialized, yet they write everything to feel like standalone episodes. So it can leave you feeling like you are often delaying the big story.
But I'm saying this was a perfect episode. And it will be even more perfect of it leads into some sudden story changing action. The lull before the storm.
If the next episode is another supply run with Hondo, then they've wasted some great momentum.

I think the real question we got from this episode is...
Do we still call them gauntlets or do we in the costuming community now call them Vambraces?
lol

These convorees are getting alarmingly close to midichlorians.

what if bendu was a shape shifter and he IS the owl?

The Bendu is Snoke. Everyone knows that.
If that was the worst, then they're doing a helluva job frankly.
I was hoping for bendu when they headed way out. Was disappointed it was only a glimpse. Anything for more Tom Baker
Also caught the owls swooping in to watch the training too.
aaah, I'm going to have to look out for that

Well, to be completely pedantic, vambrace is the correct term.
I really enjoyed this episode. I appreciated the character development of Sabine and, to a lesser degree, Kanen. I'm also enjoying the slow build up of Sabine's Mandalorian armor. Although I have a bad feeling about Kanen's speech on how those tricks may sometimes work, but will ultimately fail. Seems like some foreshadowing (Maul comes back for the Dark Saber?).
They've been on a very good run these past two episodes. Disappointed we have a 3 week hiatus.

That it would be since a gauntlet is a glove, specifically a glove with a long cuff and/or armored. A vambrace is a piece of armor that cover the forearm and the forearm only so vambrace is correct. Where the term gauntlet in reference to Mando vambraces come from anyway? Was it from the EU or was it just a fan thing that just caught on?
