Welcome to Star Wars
[QUOTE=Primigenes;46264983]You might as well start complaining when you watch Wolverine not kill people with his claws in TV Shows on channels for kids.
Seriously dude its gonna be on Disney XD. Also they can't change that light saber clash effect to like a different color? Like that green shit is weird[/QUOTE]
That is how it looked in the OT, which is what they're aiming for

I'm not sure I even want to watch these to be honest.
I'm really ECSTATIC that kids get their own star wars cartoon just for them rather than just turning the prequels into kid crap for money (aka, turning something that should have been for older audiances into a 'fun for the whole family' type deal). I'm honestly pretty happy that Star Wars [I]could [/I]get a golden age like Star Trek had of great shows/movies.
Instead of third party content everywhere + some amazing games but shitty offical content by Lucus Star Wars is getting the treatment it deserved.
At the same time, it's a kids show and I just can't watch it unless it has enough 'adultish humor' in it like the recent clone wars cartoon, or Ben 10, or Avatar: TLA. Where it's funny to kids and to adults, while still entertaining and has an intelligent story line that adults will not go "augh" to because of how "child minded down" it is.
I love watching the very few kids shows I can because they have an excellent story that's smart enough to fit into a pg13+ rated show, but isn't. Those shows COULD just dumb the storyline down and it'd work perfectly fine for them, but they don't do it.
This show might, but so far the style and tone seems way too for kids, even more than the clone wars.

actually, now that I think about it the clone wars was a kids show but man, that actually a pretty dark show. There was a death in like every episode... wtf?

it's like, what? this is for [I]kids[/I]? So many dudes just outright get shanked in the back and outright die.
Clone Wars is not a kids show. Maybe, early teens at the least.

I think netflix may have misrated it then
bit too violent for 8-10 :v:
First 2 episodes of Rebels have been aired, Episode 2 (or 1 if you count the hour long Pilot as a movie) is free on iTunes, at least Canadian itunes, don't know about the US or other countries.

I agree.
A couple of the scenes in the video you linked were not aired on TV, only on the Home Release/Netflix. Like the Ventress kissing the clone scene.

Huh, interesting. The episode name is 'Droids in Distress".

Actually like 3-4 of their episodes have been released.
Spark of Rebellion parts 1&2 are the first 2 episodes
Droids in Distress Episode 3
Fighter Flight Episode 4 is the most recent.

netflix seems to be bad at posting all the episodes of a show / not doing it in order
Actually Netflix has them in the proper order. That's the order they were released. The episodes are not chronological. There is an official list somewhere of how to watch them in order by story

Depends on what you're reading. iTunes has Spark as a separate entry, and Droids in Distress as Episode 1. Disney has been advertising Spark of the Rebellion as a movie and Droids in Distress as episode 1
I've made this post before, but now that I've watched the series, I think I can make more fair points.
Rebels is one of the worst things to come out of Star Wars in awhile. With Clone Wars as the standard, it's a shame. Starting with the design. The characters are very bland. The main character has this really goofy hairdo that really cuts close with the "plasticy hair" stuff. Every material he has uses the same phone/reflection settings, and it comes off as being plastic, rather than say, [URL="https://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/images/thumb/6/6c/Miss_Pauling_in_Expiration_Date.png/300px-Miss_Pauling_in_Expiration_Date.png?t=20140618020723"]TF2's hair[/URL] (which uses a very diffused material that takes the phong and softens it a ton, on the male characters there is no phong or exponent.)
Anyways, technically they're bad, but visually they're worse. They use very distilled browns and greens and it's all just real ugly, which would fit in a realistic setting, but this is a kid's show, in a stylized world. Beardy-Wan Kenobi doesn't have anything going on for him, and Beast is interesting, but suffers under the same problem with the greens and browns. The only interesting character is Hipster-Fett, who looks like she's covered in armor designed by [URL="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-thing?.out=jpg&size=l&tid=7377739"]Vans[/URL] (though honestly this isn't that bad, just unoriginal.) I don't even need to say anything about main kid.
Now, this is all design stuff, and whatever, Clone Wars' design was questionable at first. Stuff like Wind Waker's was too. But they turned out great in the end and became timeless. This is just lazy. There's no detail in the characters. I can't find a bloody displacement or normal map anywhere, it's all very solid and, god i hate this word, plasticy. There's no way to sugar coat it, it's literally computer plastic.
But whatever, design, blah. What my main gripe with this show is the plot. With Clone Wars, it was easy to make fun of the droids. We could throw them around, have them run into each other, and their heads could fly off and it'd be funny. But what are our characters fighting against here? Humans. Real, breathing humans. They aren't funny, or comedic, and yet they throw them in situations where they're running into each other, having comic beats before they get BLOWN THE FUCK UP, and are probably fucking dead after these guys are done with them. Yeah they're the enemies, but I don't get joy or laughter in watching my enemies get brutally murdered in seemingly comedic ways. That's fucked up.
The sad thing is, this happens all the time with this show, because our heroes are "rebels." They're a roudy, annoying gang of misfits who fight against the empire and have fun doing it. But the difference between real rebels who fight for a cause and have deep stories and lives as to why they fight and this show, is that these guys seem like a bunch of angsty teen anarchists with little to do other than harass cops who are simply occupying areas. Our main hero litterally steals a shipment from the empire just cause it "seems important."
Speaking of which, lets talk about Sonic-hair. In the first episode, we see him save a guy from the empire who's about to be arrested for trying to sell his merch unlicensed. Alright, that's pretty cool, robin-hood style. But the problem is, immediately after he saves this guy, he STEALS FROM THE MERCHANT, not only because he's hungry, but because he thinks he deserves payment. And they wipe this off like it's just some little thing, that this is just accepted, and the merchant looks at him almost heroicly.
Now this is supposedly character development, showing a bad guy become a good guy, but they play it off like it's some wacky thing to steal from the poor. It's not even like he sees the merchants problem but is fighting for his own too, he does it like he doesn't need it, like it's a little treat on the way or some bullshit. He's so cocky about it, it shows he doesn't deserve it and that he's treating being poor as some sort of joke. Maybe that's his way of coping, but he's an asshole no doubt (reminder, this is the same guy who steals from the rebels AND the empire because he thinks the package is "important.") It's despicable and I'm not going to support this character ever because he pulls shit like that.
The rest of the rebels are no different. They're all assholes, and I know it's going to get better, but I don't see how they're gonna make us understand WHY. They spent literally [B]10[/B] seconds explaining why Beast is against using the laser or whatever that makes things "disappear forever" (his village died to said technology, boo hoo im so engaged sob.) Like if you're going to explain to us why life is so important, why waste it later on by having us kill people for the kiddy jokes. At least death MEANT something in Clone Wars.
This kind of behavior belongs in a non kid-like environment, which describes the terrors of wars in the stars. Something like the original movies, built for kids who are old enough to at least comprehend death. Clone Wars was that. This is a G-rated film with a PG-rated environment, and they have to pad it with terrible characters that have no real empathy, or story that doesn't hold a pin to the original series
[B]tl[/B];[B]dr[/B]: this shit is straight fucked up and this is not the way to handle this kind of story, clone wars did it better, etc etc.
I'd be surprised if they [b]DON'T[/b] make the war a morally grey subject Gamerman, they did an episode in TCW establishing the CIS empire as a democracy with actual people, not just droids.
Rebels is quite much kids show compared to Clone Wars, Clone Wars had so much things that kids wouldnt understand, and it was a lot more serious. And atm, from first 3 episodes, i see that editing isnt as good, it has cuts, like it would be some commercials put together.

right, i guess that the weight is still pretty heavy regardless of scale. but the issue is they brush it off like it's nothing, leaving no room for any real development and leaves me not caring about this character.

I dunno, we at least get some background onto Zeb's reasoning for hating the Empire. Using a series of disruptors to pretty much commit genocide. I'm still hoping that they put out episodes regarding life in the Empire because not EVERYTHING is that bad in the Empire. Like from my knowledge that the only thing that fucked over the Empire big was destroying Aldeeran, the end result of that caused a lot of defection from the Empire. During a recent interview that they did it was stated. "All Stormtroopers aren't drafted,conscripted,or clones. They're regular men and women who believe in the cause of the Empire." There HAS to be a good side to Empire that they won't show us just yet.
If you're Human and living in the core worlds, you're fine.
Also lots of propaganda.

I'm sure it will be expanded in future episodes.
The art style is just bad. The main characters fucking eyes are glowing blue for goodness sake.

It starts off pretty juvenile but holy crap does it get good in the later seasons.
Fucking Darth Maul and his brother teaming up with madalorians and Hutts to form a space army. So good.
