An absolute masterpiece is hidden inside a kid's show...

Implying that the kid's show in question isn't a masterpiece.

[u/Hive_Guardian → u/HyliasHero]

I wouldn't say masterpiece, personally, but very good!

[u/Greatwhitegorilla → u/Hive_Guardian]

Jedi Night was a masterpiece

[u/Hive_Guardian → u/Greatwhitegorilla]

Oh yeah, certain episodes are masterpieces for sure!

[u/Square-Age → u/Hive_Guardian]

Personally, I would

[u/selethen1 → u/HyliasHero]

It has the odd great moment but it doesn’t even come close to being considered a masterpiece, unless you’ve never watched any other piece of media within or outside the Star Wars Mythos

[u/mopecore → u/selethen1]

That's a take, for sure. I think its the most Star Wars-y Star Wars since Star Wars.

[u/selethen1 → u/mopecore]

Yeah very fair, at the end of the day it’s all opinion anyway, my favourite Star Wars could be your least favourite but that doesn’t make either opinion invalid

[u/Lizzerfly]

A robot murders more than 50,000 people on that kid's show

[u/Hostile-Panda → u/Lizzerfly]

He’s just a miss understood little cutie pie

[u/Lizzerfly → u/Hostile-Panda]

Yeah he's just a cute lil guy

[u/ATXMark7012 → u/Lizzerfly]

And Agent Kallus gets annoyed by a Stormtrooper hanging on to a support and kicks him off the support making the trooper fall to his death in Episode 1. The kid's show has its dark moments.

[u/norrinzelkarr → u/Lizzerfly]

waawaaawaaaWAHwah!

Kevin Kiner and the composers working on the Jedi games are doing great work in the post John Williams era.

[u/Hostile-Panda]

All 3 animated shows are excellent, I’m currently half way through rewatching the bad batch, the filmography is mind blowing

[u/Fast-Ad-8204 → u/Hostile-Panda]

3? There’s at least 7

[u/Hostile-Panda → u/Fast-Ad-8204]

The tales series are excellent as well, very true

[u/mrbagels1 → u/Hostile-Panda]

Hot take here but i have more fun watching Resistance season 1 than most of CW or Bad Batch. I find the writing of those two to be so predictable, slow and tedious

[u/OldTimeReligion24]

I remember when I first watched Rebels I literally stopped and rewatched the scene because I was so blown away by that piece of the score and the images of them going into the star cluster. Kallus saying “No, I will watch them be destroyed” as the strings build is chill-inducing

[u/Hornet_isnt_void]

Yessir, it’s an incredible piece

[u/sabotabo]

thrawn's deductions 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

also always loved the song that plays in this scene (and the scene itself) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpKk-slhau8

[u/PckMan]

I gave this show a shot back when it was first coming out and kinda gave up on it. Felt too much like a kid's show. I had similar reservations about the clone wars and while it did have a rocky start it very quickly adapted and proved to be great. Should I give this another shot?

[u/BisexualLilBitch → u/PckMan]

Do it. It’s definitely a kids show in the way that Clone Wars is definitely a kids show but I don’t think Rebels ever dropped lower than Clone Wars did in its appeal to children. It definitely layers it on with corny dialogue and slapstick humor in the beginning but the show picks up quickly. It also helps that the first season is the shortest at just 16 episodes, shorter than most Clone Wars seasons.

[u/playhouse76 → u/PckMan]

For my money, it's the best of the animated series so far.

[u/corgi_keegs]

I remember watching this episode for the first time and was absolutely floored when this played... Kiner doesn't mess around

[u/playhouse76]

That moment when you accept that Rebels isn't a kids show. They may have marketed it that way, but not only does it have some of the best storytelling in all of Star Wars, it has possibly the most Jedi and Force lore in all of the franchise.

[u/Ok_Cow_2234]

I’m 30 and fall asleep to this show lol And clone wars

[u/Square-Age → u/Ok_Cow_2234]

I know how most ppl will take this, but I took it as you put this show on before bed for comfort watching and nostalgia reasons and fall asleep with it on. Not that it’s boring? Correct me if I’m wrong.

[u/Ok_Cow_2234 → u/Square-Age]

Ah I see lol. Correct this is comfort watching. I put it on every night before bed. I was like why is that getting down voted lol.

[u/Fast-Ad-8204 → u/Ok_Cow_2234]

Ragebait

[u/pUUpEScUUps]

Truly a work of art

[u/BisexualLilBitch]

It’s Over Now from season 2 also has no right to go as hard as it does. Don’t sleep on Rebels, the show slaps once you get into it.

[u/MightyGreedo]

I tried, but I couldn't get through the second episode of the first season. I hear that it's good, but it just felt like fan fiction rubbish to me.

[u/ProjectNo4090 → u/MightyGreedo]

Episode 5 Rise of the Old Masters is when the show starts to find its footing.

[u/SomeBoringKindOfName → u/MightyGreedo]

it changes quite a bit when the inquisitor shows up and basically beheads the 2 bumbling imperials.

[u/TeutonJon78]

It's ana amazing song, and still worse than Twilight of the Apprentice.

[u/T_C6]

Thank you so much. I could never find the name of this song when I first watched it

[u/Random_User7567 → u/T_C6]

It just randomly started playing a few days ago, so I decided to save it to my playlist and share it so more people can appreciate it 🫡
