Star Wars Rebels S3

I'm guessing Obi-Wan will be showing up in the finale? It's looking like it's moving that way.

I'm guessing Obi-Wan will be showing up in the finale? It's looking like it's moving that way.

I was thinking that as well. maybe a final showdown between Kenobi and Maul

Mid season trailer is up on YouTube. Not sure if they're using a prerecording of Alec Guinness or if the voice actor they are using is doing a pretty good impression of him.

[JRT!]

Voiced by Stephen Stanton.

J-R!

He does a pretty good likeness at the end of the trailer.

What character is Tom Baker doing the voice for?

[sprytel]

^^^ Bendu. He is kind of the Chaotic Neutral alignment in the Star Wars universe of Force wielders.

That trailer was really good.

They've got bits of the Season 3 finale up on YouTube.

thoughts on Twin Suns? overall a good episode and it was cool see Obi Wan, but I thought after all that buildup, the actual fight was anti climatic and over in the blink of an eye. glad they are finally done with Maul, having him alive after being cut in half was one of the sillier things they did on clone wars

Most are saying the showdown between Maul and Obi-Wan was like from a Western. You have the big build up,then it's over real quick. I'm trying to figure out all of the complaints about Luke. "Why don't they show him?" "Why is he so small?"

[Hedji]

First of all, Steven Stanton's Alec Guiness is jaw dropping. I mean chillingly spot on!

They were wise not to show Luke close up. Not quite sure how close to ANH this timeline is, and maybe they didn't want to define it by showing Luke's age.

The Maul duel lasting only seconds was also smart. They can't, in animation, do better than the Ewan MacGregor / Ray Park fight. And, by this time, when he's "Old Ben" Kenobi, A New Hope establishes that he is eyeblink quick when he needs to be in the Cantina fight. Having a long, drawn out, acrobatic duel with Old Ben vs. Maul would have people crying foul because that is contrary to his fighting style against Darth Vader. It was well done.

I think the bigger takeaway is the major story point of Obi-Wan confirming that it is Luke, not Anakin, who is The Chosen One. That's pretty huge stuff for a cartoon show.

I wasn't too sure of this show in its first season, but now I'm a fan, and glad to see it's found its footing. I think one more season to wrap up and lead into Rogue One would be terrific.
