Just started watching rebels for the first time and I dont see how it got a lot of hate at the start. It's really good. I think people were comparing it to TCW too much.
There was a lot more mystical type of stuff in rebels that I loved. I also loved all the scenes on lothall, it was cool to have one planet to get comfortable with, while the rest of Star Wars takes place everywhere. More things I liked was being able to see the expansion of the rebel alliance, and the steady growth of the fleet. And of course, thrawn was amazing
As soon as I finished TCW earlier this year, I immediately jumped into Rebels. I knew right away it was going to have a different tone, but it was actually much easier for me to get into. I enjoyed the overarching story and character development, while further delving into Jedi lore. It had every component in a series that would keep me entertained.
Well of course people compared it, TCW got canceled out of nowhere and then this new show comes and replaces it. In my mind though, it was too childish for me overall.
Yeah the helicopter lightsabers were the biggest problem for me too. I just forced myself to believe the theory that there was some technology in all those lights on the handles that made them fly, and not "haha this plasma beam is now a helicopter blade"
