I would like to not feel so chronically fucking exhausted. Can we make that happen?

You’d think that given how much I absolutely LOVE Star Wars: Rebels I would be going feral over the Ahsoka trailer that just dropped. I’m not though. I am a bit uncertain I guess? Mixed feelings.

In the 1 second he was on screen Chopper seemed to have been captured pretty well. As for everyone else… well I reserve judgement. I have such feelings about the animated versions I am unsure as to whether the live action encompasses all that they are.

Like Hera is the best damn pilot in the galaxy, an inspirational leader and a loyal friend. There is a warmth to her though. From season 1 they played it as a found family with Hera and Kanan playing the roles of parents. Hera even said in like episode 3 or something about “the kids”. Will they capture that? Will they allow her to be utterly badass, brilliant and still warm?

Not going to lie I only have myself to blame when it comes to Ezra. I had fancasted and the dude they picked doesn’t look anything like who I wanted (John Harlan Kim). But it could still be good. Same with Sabine. She doesn’t quite look how I had imagined but we shall see. I confess I remain unconvinced by Ahsoka’s actress anyway. So yeah mixed feelings.

Like don’t get me wrong I am looking forward to this. I may actually try and watch it when it drops (as opposed to pretty much everything else which I have yet to get around to). Rebels is so close to my heart. I want this to be utterly amazing. I suppose if I am honest deep down I wish they had done a season 5 animated show (like they brought back clone wars for season 7) or even done a spin-off to call it a new show like they did for the bad batch.

Live action is cool but it’s not everything.

Of course my ambivalence could be mostly because I feel so damn tired. It’s hard to care a lot about anything right now 🙁
