Barricade24 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Siege of Lothal has been the BEST Rebels episode I have ever seen! One of the most prominent things I noticed was how competent the Imperials were this time around. Vader was absolutely terrific! He knew exactly what he was doing and was displayed as over powered and strong just as he should be. The show also seemed to stop pulling punches. Sabine getting shots reflected back at her was definitely a nice touch and that scene when Vader sensed Ahsoka... incredible. If this is any indication as to what the future of Rebels is going to be, then I am quite excited to see what comes. Link to comment
NumberWan Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 @ Well, there is a voice from TFU - and that is the Emperor in the very end of the episode. I must say, that I can still feel that's Saw Witwer, as his tone is very specific. It can be felt with Maul and the Son in TCW too. Link to comment
DrXann Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 He does a great Palpatine voice but not as great as his official audio double who did the characters voice in earlier Lucasarts games. Link to comment
Stoiss Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Darth Vader was Bad ass Awesome in this new eps of season 2 NumberWan likes this Link to comment
Mandalorian Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Vader was brutal. Anakin is really dead. Link to comment
NumberWan Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 @@DrXann Which actor do you mean? I guess, Palpatine was only seen in TIE fighter games, or in some audio dramas. There is also a very good variant in Galactic battlegrounds. Link to comment
DrXann Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 The person in question is Nick Jameson who is Palpatines official audio double. NumberWan likes this Link to comment
Lamented Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Well, Siege of Lothal was mind-numbingly enjoyable until I watched the Vader vs. Kanan/Ezra fight again. There were so many ways Vader could've won/killed the rebels:Vader should've just blown everyone off the platform with the Force.When Darth Vader picks up Kanan, he should've just stabbed him.He should have Force crushed Ezra's throat.He should have ripped Ezra's saber out of his hand and impaled him.He should have cut Ezra's head off when he overpowered his blade quite easily.When the walkers fall on Vader, he should have hurled them at the rebels in front of him instead of dropped them behind him.When Sabine fires on Vader, he should've just deflected the shots into Kanan and Ezra.When Sabine fires on Vader, he could've hit Chopper (who was trying to control the ship) and caused a malfunction, which would cause them to crash with members of the Ghost crew falling out of the open entrance simultaneously in mid-"flight."Plot convenience cannot atone for this, damnit!

NumberWan Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 @ Actually that applies to any scene. Take Indiana Jones for instance - there were dozens of cases, when the protagonist could have been killed by Nazis, Kali sect, Nazis again and Irina. =) Or Grievous? He smashed a swarm of zombies with ease, while he wasn't killing Obi Wan, and there are other scenes where he doesn't kill the other duelist. And you could say the same about many other instances. For what Othello killed Desdemona? For the plot!! Yes, it is plot convenience, even though I agree with some of your comments above. Otherwise the show would end with Season 1. KOTOR would end on Taris, The Force Unleashed somewhere on Kashyyk, Dark Forces II on Nar Shaddaa, and Episode IV in the "ass in space". BruceJohnJenner likes this Link to comment
Lamented Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Grievous was met with the justifiably strong force of a Jedi Master, though. Vader misses eight opportunities in a row, on the other hand. Link to comment
DrXann Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Well that would end the series to fast and they have plot armor despite getting hurt. Link to comment
NumberWan Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 @ But Grievous meets Ahsoka, yet he fails to kill her. And there are other situations like this. Link to comment
Archangel35757 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 So Ahsoka knows Vader is Anakin and hid that from Kanan-- but how can Kanan, a padawan of the Clone Wars, not know of Anakin Skywalker??? He should know/be familiar with Anakin's "force signature", no??? For example the younglings knew "Master Skywalker" before he slaughtered them. Link to comment
DT. Posted June 26, 2015 Author Share Posted June 26, 2015 He would know of Anakin Skywalker, but wouldn't have known he turned into Darth Vader. The only ones who knew that is Obi-wan Kenobi, Yoda, Sidious & possibly Tarkin. NumberWan likes this Link to comment

The only ones who knew that is Obi-wan Kenobi, Yoda, Sidious & possibly Tarkin.So you don't think Kanan would have felt his "force signature" as that of Anakin Skywalker? ( Obviously in the show he did not... I just think he should have...) At this point I don't think Tarkington knows-- perhaps Ahsoka will "out" Vader as Skywalker and it becomes public knowledge?

DT. Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share Posted June 27, 2015 I think he has felt that signature, but doesn't know who it belongs to. All he knows is that the feeling of cold death is familar. I think Tarkin does know who Vader really is, as he tells Vader "you're all that's left of that religion" in EP4. Link to comment
NumberWan Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 There is actually a scene, when both Ahsoka and Kanan feel some sort of familiar presence, though for them that might be more as a glimpse of Clone Wars, a mark, that probably left a more significant impression on all of them.

I think Tarkin does know who Vader really is, as he tells Vader "you're all that's left of that religion" in EP4.Yes, Tarkin does say that... but before that, Vader force chokes the officer who mocks the force-- so that officer knew as well? So yes Tarkin knows his true identity in EP. 4, but it's my opinion he doesn't know right now. Perhaps Ahsoka "outs" him later in Season 2... just my hypothesis. DT. likes this Link to comment
Mand'alor Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 It is pretty clear that Vader was just toying with them. Also am I the only one who enjoyed the part where Vader fought in his tie fighter against the rebel ships? Link to comment
Archangel35757 Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 He should have launched a torpedo Link to comment
Lamented Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Actually, Vader probably spared them so that they could lead him to the fleet. My bad. NumberWan likes this Link to comment
Circa Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Finally got around to watching the latest special. It was the best one so far. Having Vader play such a big role was shocking to me, in a good way. I love that Ahsoka is going to play a role as well. I want to see what happens between her and Vader. She'll inevitably die, but I have a feeling it'll be far along. Link to comment
Circa Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 45 minute episode, Siege of Lothal. Technically the first episode of season 2. Link to comment
