Star Wars Rebels

Brilliant series of 13 just-under-30 minute episodes, split over 2 discs. Very true to the classic original Star Wars movie series, set between Star Wars movies episodes III and IV. The setting is the dark era when Darth Vader’s Empire is tightens its hold on the galaxy. The main attraction for our children are the resourceful Ezra Bridger and Sabine, that they adore.Pro’s- Lots of excitement; varied action, fights, chases, battles and quite some wit.- What I do like is that in contrast with the Clone Wars cartoon series, the characters in Rebels are more appealing and show companionship as seen in the original movie trilogy.- Rebels is more visually recognizable as “Star Wars” than art-deco feel of much the prequel trilogy and more so than the Clone Wars cartoon series – this is about space junk rather than flashy fighters- Visually and in terms of scenes the series looks stunning, the animation is beautiful. Every episode looks sharp and sounds great. Really glad to have watched it on Blu-ray with the Blu-ray resolution bringing out great textures and detail.- A decent amount of Blu ray extras; a YouTube recap show "Rebels Recon,", a short feature of Rebels a the Star Wars Celebration, 4 animated shorts use din the original promotion of Rebels. And the most interesting part; a 81 minute ultimate guide , episode recap by the voice actor of Kanan.Con’s- Other than the Clone Wars cartoon series or the later Rebels seasons there are not too many references to existing/known characters in the Star Wars universe. C3PO is there as is Tarkin but that is about it. The main new bad guy introduced in the season is the fairly badass Inquisitor.- The main character configuration feels very reminiscent of the original Star Wars; there is a young buy on a remote planet who doesn’t know about this father nor is he aware of his Jedi powers . He runs into a Jedi trainer and is accompanied by a storm trooper bashing monster that looks very much like the Ralph Mc Quarie Chewbacca designs ect.To conclude; great set for the whole family. For 331 minutes total run time for everything on the discs – this was quite good value and of course highly recommended for Padawans, Star Wars fans and their children in particular.

As a Star Wars Dad I grabbed this to watch for myself, with a view for my daughter eventually (hopefully!) watching it in the future after I indoctrinate her into liking the same stuff I do.... I knew nothing of the show other than having seen the characters Disney Infinity models and the Star Wars mobile game that they are also in.The show is really good, I mean really good. I am not one of those 80s kids that thinks Cartoons were so much better when we were kids, as if you look back you will notice a lot of the 80s and early 90s cartoons were actually garbage. Anyway I digress, this has clearly been written with the idea that fans who don't have kids, fans who do have kids, and kids! (most importantly) can all get something from it, there are plenty of nods, both subtle and unsubtle, to the original films, books and material, even if some of it has been removed from canon by Disney. And yet not knowing that wouldn't detract from the enjoyment. My nephew, who is 8, loves completely different moments and characters to me for example.I was surprised by how dark in tone in can be and how it can be quite suggestively violent about what may have happened to characters, violent might to the wrong choice of words but it doesn't sugarcoat itself the way you might suspect it would. With that in mind I'd suggest at least vetting it yourself first.The look and sound of the show is fantastic and the characters are great, there is a quite frankly ridiculous 1 star review on this site by someone moaning about the strong focus of the two 'super powered' female characters as a flaw of this and they suggest modern pop culture (Hera and Sabine). So if you are like that person and an entire lifetime of male dominated cinema, cartoons, comics and video games just wasn't enough of a monopoly for you. Then you might have a problem with a show that portrays strong, independent, heroic and determined women who want to be something other than a Princess. Both of them are practically engineers, which is refreshing to see so take that gender stereotypes.

Star Wars: Rebels is a soon to be classic, with the likes of the Clone Wars series. Since the Clone Wars series has now Officially been discontinued, Rebels will be the the only ones you can get as of right now before Disney (might) make this show a exclusive for their streaming platform (Disney+). So I suggest you buy this as soon as you can, since that is what has happened to the Clone Wars.This show has a solid story, which fans will love. It brings old and new characters into the mix for everyone to enjoy. The animation style and story is easy for all to follow, therefore allowing it to have a family experience for you and your kids to enjoy at the same time. There are some unique twists, hints and teasers as to what could come next in a new series that might come out in the next few years or so. But until then, enjoy Star Wars: Rebels!
