STAR WARS Rebels new animated series!
- Thread starter Bryancd
- Start date
They're called Boomas and they weren't exactly made of pure energy. They could be held like a solid object, leave a blue residue on whatever surface they impacted on and in greater mass create substantial physical damage. Plus the Boomas aren't created or 'formed' on a weapon just before it's fired unlike the sling which clearly states "energy ball forms when slingshot is pulled back". I therefore conclude that these two weapons are two completely different pieces of technology and that Rebels has officially created new Star Wars weapon that is more ridiculous than Boomas.

Star Wars has never been science fiction, it has always been a fantasy story. You either take it or leave it.
And this is a cartoon aimed at kids. Take it or leave it.

I would argue that it is aimed at abroad audience of old and new Star Wars fans... including kids, which is pretty standard for Star Wars.

I downloaded the sample from Amazon. If I like it, I may buy it. I stopped reading Star Wars books about 15 years ago because it they really strayed from the Star Wars feel and there was no real oversight. The way Disney and LFL now are working to make all media feed into each other is interesting. It's good to know that when I read something, it really will be canon. I know that previously the old EU was considered canon but the stories were so ridiculous that I knew that if LFL ever got back into the game, those stories would never hold up.... and I was right.

Yeah, adult fans can certainly embrace it, but it is first and foremost a kids television program, just like SW has always been.
Regardless of whether it's for kids or adults I wouldn't be too surprised that as the series goes on we'll see less and less of that energy slingshot thingy, I bet that that by the end of the first season we'll be able to count the number of times Ezra uses it on one hand. You know though, it would be an interesting prop to try to recreate, use translucent tubing and an LED one each of the arms of the slingshot projector and an LED in an translucent foam or rubber ball and you the closest representation of an energy slingshot that you can get in real life.

I'll always be a kid. Yeah sure I'll take on adult responsibilities but deep down I'll always be a kid. Even in a retirement home at 90 years old I'll still be watching cartoons and not being some boring adult.Best way to live life I reckon.

Agreed.
And that's why when evaluating Rebels, I think the responsibility is on us as adults to just go along for the ride.

I know Spark of Rebellion is coming out on DVD, but does anyone know if it's been listed as a Blu-ray release?

There is no sign of a blu ray release.
If I understand correctly, this premiere will not be like how the first few episodes of CW was made into a movie separate from season 1. So if you really want it in blu ray, you may want to wait a year and buy Season 1 in blu ray.... Assuming like CW they offer the seasons in blu ray.
