I'm glad I've explored a bit of the expanded universe. Been lucky to have had the books I've read being great. Really does open up Star Wars and make it feel a lot more real and complex.

Rebels is alright. I like it more than what I've seen of The Clone Wars. Granted, with the latter, I have a prejudice against it because I thought a lot of the CW subject matter should have been a larger part of the prequels.

Rebels feels more like what I think SW should feel like (TFA hit on that too), and is more fun to watch than the CW. The darker toned epidodes have been good, and I hope we get to see more Vader. I kinda hope that after sending Inquisitors (which I have mixed feeling about) to kill the Jedi guy, that they fail, and Vader ultimately handles him and the kid.

I'm just now noticing the scores in the poll keep changing.

Better than Jedi and the prequels but not a new hope of empire is in the lead.
I'd say it's better than a new hope.

You should just to see how much detail they went into.

And also to see how much they threw the Star Wars moelling world into chaos by choosing the wrong Falcon to scan for use in this movie. It's a never ending war which falcon is the true falcon.

Blu-ray rips of this have started to leak. I only watched it once in theaters, so I'll probably do a re-watch soon.
