Watched the last of The Clone Wars so started on Star Wars: Rebels. It just cemented what I already knew which I love the world of Star Wars more than any particular character (though I adore several characters).
Thus far I’m not keen on Zeb or Ezra. Zeb in particular is annoying me.
I really like Hera though and I like the hints of the relationship with Kanan. The episode I just watched they described the two idiots as “the kids” which was funny. I think Sabine has potential but yeah Hera is my favourite by a mile. Chopper is a cool droid but then droids usually are cool.
Having C3PO, R2D2 and Bail Organa do a cameo in the second episode was pretty heavy handed in terms of trying to grant the new series (like a spin off I guess) some ‘legitimacy’ but as I like them I didn’t mind so much. Along with the line “this is not the Tie you are looking for” 🙂
Anyway I think Ezra is supposed to be the main character but this would hardly be the first time I wasn’t keen on a main character in a series but loved the show anyway (Alias comes to mind).
I wish I could pinpoint what makes the Star Wars universe so captivating but then I guess if I could explain it then I would be rich :p as an author I mean that’s like the holy grail hehe
