I See What You Did There...

I see what you did there...

Both episodes are set on a moon the main characters get stranded on and then when they escape a parallel is established between the warm family the protagonist has and the cold emptiness of the antagonist's environment. Obvious set up for a redemption arc is obvious!

I respect your opinion and I agree, but I just like to think that twi-lek women in Star Wars are starting to be less objectified... Hera, Xi’an, and now Suu are being dressed in more practical clothing and are depicted as capable women and I think it’s nice...

Twi-lek women have been so objectified by Star Wars creators in the past, by both Dave Filoni and George Lucas. In the past, they were mostly there to look at in a sexual manner for the adults watching what is supposed to be a franchise for kids. They were shown as slaves, servants, and property. Even Aayla Secura was dressed in a revealing crop top and leggings (not to mention trying to design her in TCW to have big boobs, a small waist, defined abs, and wide hips simultaneously).

I think this might be a sign of progress...

Sometimes as a grown woman you wanna dress like a firecracker and sometimes you don’t. She can target shoot your ear off the side of your head in either of these outfits, so I don’t wanna hear anymore about how they put Suu in “real clothes” this time around.

I agree that to get more Star Wars content we need to stream TBB and any other Star Wars media, but I don’t think we’re going to get an animated Rebels sequel...

I’m not 100% sure, but I think the scripts and such from the animated sequel were kept and adapted to the Ahsoka show. I think their intention is to make the Ahsoka series about Ahsoka and Sabine finding Ezra and Thrawn, which could have Rebels characters appear.

Like you said, the Mandalorian did so well and Resistance tanked, so they probably decided then to make the Ahsoka series live action starring Rosario Dawson.

I’d love an animated Rebels sequel, but I don’t think we’re gonna get it :(

i completely understand that people are upset about the whitewashing, like me too, i think it was an incredibly asshole move but...

i just want to put it out there that whether bad batch gets a lot of support could affect whether we get an actual animated rebels sequel.

things have changed in the way that people consume media since rebels last ended. and that was only a few years ago.

streaming has pretty much taken over for cable.

disney plus released a few months before resistance concluded and well... it still didnt do well, it wasnt meant for streaming and yet its still probably unlikely that we'll get any more sequel era cartoons any time soon due to it.

and then they released the mandalorian, and it did GREAT, so they're working on more live action shows.

after that, they released clone wars season 7 and it did so well that at one point tcw was the most streamed show.

because clone wars did well they had incentive to make more cartoons and released a sequel to it, the bad batch.

so what do you think will happen if despite them making an attempt, if a bit half assed, to fix their stupidity doesn't save the show and it tanks?

they probably wont be very inclined to create any more sequels for previous star wars cartoons, and they won't make a rebels sequel.

im not saying don't be mad. be mad. keep telling disney to do better. but if you care at all about getting something better- something we actually wanted, youre gonna have to watch the show anyway.

subscriptions and the money from viewership is all that disney cares about. they don't care about the storytelling or the art. and they own star wars. so if you want the storytelling and the art to continue, youre gonna need to cough up some cash, some time, or both.

does that suck? yes. but i doubt that its going to change any time soon. they aren't going to sell their cash cow any time soon and they aren't going to spontaneously start caring more about creativity than money.

if you want a rebels sequel you have to keep watching the bad batch.

Parallel in The Bad Batch 1x03

Crosshair in The Clone Wars: “If your plans are so good, why did Commander Cody have to call us in?”

ES-01 in The Bad Batch: “If [clones] are so efficient, how come the Empire’s scouting soldiers like us?”

And then Crosshair gets pissed, like yes, you were this big of a dick too😭

I’d just like to remind everyone that Ursa Wren was in The Clone Wars season 7 and she was the one Ahsoka bumped into, not Bo-Katan.

Bonus:

If I don’t find out what happened to Clan Wren and Fenn Rau, I’m gonna be very mad at Jon Favereau😩
