Season 1 Review: In terms of succeeding creatively, they haven’t just tried; done it, they have. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Though firmly in the Lucas tradition, this is also a Disney cartoon, for a Disney crowd and a Disney corporation--watching, you can almost feel the plastic and the plush--and whatever the characters are up to, however cute or sentimental the business, it is smartly designed and cinematically staged, and not hard to enjoy.

Season 1 Review: It’s a better-than-average, serious-minded science-fiction cartoon, with well-executed space chases and battles but also an introspection more reminiscent of Japanese anime than of the usual American children’s animation. Read full review

A very interesting series, which goes improving every season (and even with every chapter). A excellent succesor of The Clone Wars. Dave Filoni has made it again.

This show ended in a great way and really builds up towards something that in my opinion is much better than clone wars.

This show is not on the same level as the Clone Wars, not even close. But it still holds up well. As someone who wasn't a fan of Clone Wars' anthology story, I greatly prefer the overarching plot shown here as it is a lot more focused. Each season has two clear cut antagonists. Season 1 hadThis show is not on the same level as the Clone Wars, not even close. But it still holds up well. As someone who wasn't a fan of Clone Wars' anthology story, I greatly prefer the overarching plot shown here as it is a lot more focused. Each season has two clear cut antagonists. Season 1 had the Grand Inquisitor & Kallus; Season 2 had Vader & the other Inquisitors; Season 3 had Thrawn & Maul and Season 4 had Thrawn & Pryce. The protagonists didn't change much as the show went on, it was mostly just the Ghost Crew, which meant that their story could be fully fleshed out in this one, singular series. The crew is as follows: Ezra, Kanan, Hera, Sabine, Zeb & Chopper. And the only other major characters besides that are Ahsoka and Rex, so the story stays simple and has a lot of freedom as a singular story.

However, the characters themselves aren't as good. Sabine's average, and is just a walking advertisement, to be honest. Zeb simply doesn't need to exist and is just Chewie but has way too much to say. And Ezra's honestly awful. He has *some* things going for him, but if anything good exists in this show, Ezra's there to ruin it somehow.

I know a lot of people don't like the art style, but I think it's fine. Not incredible, and I prefer how Clone Wars looked, but it doesn't bother me.

You should probably give this one a shot. It's aimed at kids, but it at least tries to break that 'kiddy garbage' barrier to please everyone. If I was to describe it in one phrase, I'd definitely call it a good show, with a lot of flaws.

Rebels is a show with a lot of ideas that are typically shoved into the same predictable formula. It's cast, while certainly flawed, is, for the most part, likable, and a lot of the additions to the Star Wars universe introduced here are certainly welcome. However, the caveat to this is theRebels is a show with a lot of ideas that are typically shoved into the same predictable formula. It's cast, while certainly flawed, is, for the most part, likable, and a lot of the additions to the Star Wars universe introduced here are certainly welcome. However, the caveat to this is the show's tone and relative simplicity. Whiplash is certainly prevalent here. One second, you'll have an "edge of your seat" scene with Maul fighting the inquisitors, and the next those same Jedi-Hunters will use their buzz-saw lightsabers to fly away like a helicopter. Many of the show's deeper ideas are also fairly underwhelming, which is disappointing, considering how it's predecessor nailed this aspect. Overall, not too bad.… Expand
