KnightswoodBear Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 what kept you, some of us watched it on wednesday evening 2 kids. Little shites. I'm watching it again with my 2 year old. She likes Darth Vader, worryingly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
54_and_counting Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 2 kids. Little shites. I'm watching it again with my 2 year old. She likes Darth Vader, worryingly. ha, what did you think of the ending then? the glimpse of ahsoka we see at the end, my money is that for a fleeting moment, darth vader becomes anakin and saves her when the temple collapses, ezra opening the sith holocron means nothing, can see that being a big red herring and they choose a different angle for season 3, plus i really wanna know how maul escaped from whatever sidious had planned for him in the clone wars 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vader standing on his TIE actually gave me goosebumps it was so well framed. Anakin's voice for that brief second was a great touch. I do wonder if youre right and for the briefest moment Anakin took over and he couldn't kill her, or maybe she couldn't kill him, as he looked the worse for wear. Theyve been heavily hinting that Ezra might turn so I don't think the end was anything unexpected. Having Maul return was a nice touch as he's arguably been better served by the animated series than his premature ending in TPM. All in all it was up there with the best that Star Wars has to offer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Ashoka is well dead. Not a chance Vader repented at that stage, it would diminish his face turn in Return of the Jedi. Vader facing Maul in the future would be superb. I think the finale was very interesting in the context of the new films. We have Maul renouncing his sith status and calling the inquisitors his enemies. Maul taking Ezra as his apprentice outwith the Sith would possibly be the start of the Knights of Ren. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 okay my thoughts: Ashoka is not dead, she'll have escaped in the chaos of the explosion, however, she is trapped on a sith planet with no escape, I feel she's stuck there for the long haul. Maul will be killed by either Kanan or Vader. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also destroyed Obi-Wan in Episode IV. For Vader to repent at that time in the Starwars timeline just doesn't fit in with the character presented in Episode IV. If he repents for Ashoka he certainly would for Obi-Wan as well before his redemption in ROTJ. As for the glimpse of Ashoka it could easily be a force ghost. The writers have left it ambiguous on purpose though. I think she got her totties but certainly wouldn't surprise me to see her back. Does anyone know how long rebels is scheduled to run? I know a third season is coming, but after that? Kanan will be dead before the end. A duel between him and Maul over Ezra seems very likely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A duel between him and Maul over Ezra seems very likely. i think his slaughtering of padwans in ROTS was down to him doing whatever was asked to save padme, he was all fucked up effectively, then on mustafar he blamed obi wan for her death and then suffered big time when obi wan left him to die, i think the resentment in a new hope could have stemmed from that, its hard to judge the darth vader in ANH though as back then i highly doubt lucas had even thought about the expansion of it all and anakin having a padwan etc, i can see your point though and its probably designed this way the now so we can take differing opinions of it they have apparently said that the rebels will tie in with the films and that the 3rd season could be the last, there is also another animated series planned to be set between RotJ and TFA, these are just the latest rumours though so probably got another 6 seasons in it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't look to stretch it out too much then, and the final series will be completed by the time Episode IX is released. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightswoodBear Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Vader is in a bad way when you see him leaving the temple. I think it's definitely possible that between that and the temple falling apart, they called it a score draw and he's retreated and left her there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I just had a sudden thought whilst rewatching it. Ezra no longer has a lightsaber, and I hope Disney don't just give him a new one and explain it away with something like "oh he picked up it before he left." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did briefly pick up one which looked very familiar, albeit a different colour..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
