Kanan is probably the 2nd best character from sources outside the movies, behind Ahsoka. That show did a great job with him

IG-11s sacrifice is my #1 moment for Mandalorian....had flashbacks to T-2 ending and that's the first time any cyborg death since seeing that film when I was 9 has taken me there
Excellent post, except for the fact that you were 9 years old in 1991 makes me feel old.
oh hell...in that case I was 6 if T-2 came out in 1991

But there's no way I watched that movie at home with my dad when I was 6....must've been 1993 or '94 when I first saw it

Next year, T2 will be 30 years old. In 91, West Side Story was 30 years old. 30 years before T2, Ringo Starr turned 21 and Mr Ed debuted.

I can't either. Now, it's likely that 2 of the winners involve Maul. The Rebels winner won't even include a main rebels character.

What does it say about Rebels that none of their main characters were in their final matchup?

That it did an incredible job expanding the lore without interfering with the continuity established by the first 6 movies and the clone wars.

Or that maybe a lot of people who didn't actually watch Rebels voted for simply the characters they did know, i.e. Maul and Vadar.

i don't think so, a lot fewer people voted on Rebels and TCW than on Mando. I think people skipped what they had not watched.

You know Muck, I'm trying real hard here to come up with reasons why my opinion on Rebels (the best overall SW animated series) is right and everybody else is wrong but you just keep doing your best to shoot them down!

I wrote the long version then decided it's not worth it.
In my first year of marriage, a frat guy shoved my wife down at a bar/restaurant and I beat the **** out of him and cracked his head on the rail of the bar. He was in a coma a couple of days.I got charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon (the bar rail).Turned myself in, spent 27 hours in jail when I was supposedly going to be out in about 2 hours. Avoided jail/prison time int he end, but had a substantial fine, several years of probation, and 200 hours of community service - that's 25 days working outside in the Texas heat if you're playing along at home. And I had to go to anger management classes and write him a letter of apology.

At some point I'd like to write a book or at least a long Texas Monthly article about all of the BS I saw going through the system, along with a day/night in jail, and the community service department. It would really make you wonder if you'd be better served just flushing your tax money down the toiler.

Sorry for the derail, I was in an ill temper earlier.

I think I only voted for one TROS moment (Kylo's blue lightsaber). Overall, the seedlings were good. I was surprised at how many moments I enjoyed from the prequels.
