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.

The show in total won me over with its character, their developments, stories, battles and humor. To be fair I must point out that the first season is a bit weaker but gained momentum towards the end. Lets start with the cast: They truly have won me during the show over and I like the patchThe show in total won me over with its character, their developments, stories, battles and humor. To be fair I must point out that the first season is a bit weaker but gained momentum towards the end. Lets start with the cast: They truly have won me during the show over and I like the patch work family style. We have Hera Syndulla who is the captain of the Ghost and team mom. Kanan Jarrus is a former Padawan who survived Order 66. Sabine Wren is a Mandalorian warrior and skilled artist (Maybe close to an obsession). Erza Bridger who was a scoundrel or con artist. Garazeb Orrelios who is the muscle of the team with a more complex character than it seems. Finally we have the droid Chopper who enters the list of great droid characters in Star Wars. The crew has a great dynamic, good chemistry and enjoyable quirks that result often in interesting situations. It ends not here as the other characters are good too. There is of cause our favorite grand admiral, the inquisitors, the remarkable agent Kallus, Saw, Wedge, Hondo who became one of my favorites and many more. The show has such a great enjoyable cast that I can only praise them. Story: Each character has individual story arcs and development. The longer the show goes the more you learn about them. The main story is about the struggle of the Rebels in fighting the Empire which has by far the superiority in manpower, firepower and resources. There will also be a lot of philosophical themes and moral dilemmas without easy answers. In total there are a lot of strong stories, believable character developments and lots of memorable moments. The strengths are that the story and characters are really good interwoven. For details you can read my reviews of all seasons here on Metacritic. Presentation: Visually the show looks really good. It has my favorite art style. All characters look great and the animations fully cover the range of emotions. The battles are intense and immersive be it duels, firefights or space battles. You can see that a lot of effort was put into the show. The soundtrack is remarkable good. It enhances the atmosphere and is praiseworthy too. Overall this was an amazing show I truly enjoyed and can recommend. If you want more details and a list of my favorite episodes you can look at my season reviews.… Expand

Don't let the childish animation fool you. This series does an excellent job in building off the Star Wars universe.

Season 1 is definitely a slow build but with solid main characters and a decent season-long story arc, It makes for an enjoyable show. It still has quite a ways to match the quality of CLone Wars but it's getting there.

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

Hera and Kanan are the only good characters of the team, all the rest are trash. This is bad kiddy show garbage. Not saying kid shows are bad, but this is one of those shows that is made for kids that have mental problems that like garbage like this, not intelligent kids.

It's a boring not inspired repetitive piece of filth that adds old Clone Wars characters so you get interested to watch it. But 90% of the time the episodes are boring as hell till you get to the exciting 5 minutes that are ruined because you have all this new terrible characters filling up space.
The villains are weak as hell, they are bad because plot, not explanation on what happened to them or who they're. All new characters are a waste except for the 2 mentioned above and Kallus. The Animation is bad, the models are bad, you can tell this show is very low budget. The fights are not good, the camera angles are terrible.
This series getting 7.4 user score is a demonstration on why democracy doesn't works. Lame ass losers that like this show should be put in jail. They are the reason we'll continue to get trash like Star Wars Clone Wars Season 7. What a joke of a season, what happened with old Clone Wars? That was dope, this new **** it sucks.… Expand
