Maybe I missed it. But have discussed the eye of scion and how it works?
Im leaning towards more of a wormhole rather than traditional hyperspace drive.
Something where they turn it on, and can see directly to the next galaxy and then cross over nearly instantly, or something like that.
Too big to make the Kessel Run. Would not fly in..SoulSlaveAG2005 said:

I think this is my biggest issue so far. Overall I like the show, it hasn't done anything dumb yet like BoBF and Kenobi (although I got nervous when Ashoka went outside the ship...).TCTTS said:
I do agree that's pretty cool, especially for a franchise so famously known for being set in a "... a galaxy far, far away." I just wish they'd underline that idea a bit more.

There's like a 95% chance that the first time we see Sabine use the force it's going to be in some super dramatic way right? Like she's not going to lift a rock or something, it's gonna be dramatic and a bunch of people are going to hate it yes?
It doesn't matter how it happens, a bunch of people are going to hate it. This is the Star Wars fanbase you're talking about.bobinator said:

I mean if it has to happen I won't be a fan, but whatever. I hope she hits the pseudo Sith apprentice in the head with the tea cup.Hagen95 said:It doesn't matter how it happens, a bunch of people are going to hate it. This is the Star Wars fanbase you're talking about.bobinator said:

That is definitely not what was established for 30 yearskdm_01 said:
To me it sounded like Ashoka told Sabine (and viewers) that the force is in everyone and talent is not required. That through training anyone(?!) can use the force. Feels contradictory.
She said aptitude helps. Or something like that.kdm_01 said:

It really should have been a cold open like you say, kind of how the first JJ Abrams Star Trek started. Makes me sad to see you describe it so well and realize its too late to have gotten it. I think they have done a good job of organically giving the back story, and letting people piece it together from various scenes...but that would have been an epic beginning to the series.bobinator said:
I mean if the live action Thrawn is that big of a deal then shoot the scene from Hera's perspective where we see the ship and purrgil and hear her talking to Ezra and then they all blast into deep space or whatever. I just came up with that off the top of my head there's lots of options.
But for all the people that didn't watch Rebels, set up what exactly happened. the spectacle of a star destroyer being warped to god knows where in the middle of a battle by these giant space whales. Truly one of the most awe-inspiring moments in all of Star Wars for the people that saw it.
the EU did a lot of exploration of other users of the Force, including in 2 of the books that Zhan wrote about Thrawn. Other beings can use the Force, obviously, the Nightsisters of Dathomir being one example. In some of the later books it appear that the Kel Dor (Plo Koon's species) could use it naturally, but didn't all choose to.kdm_01 said:

What Bob and I were talking about, is we think it would have been better to have that intro scene for many reasons. BUT it doesnt NEED that, and you dont need to have watched or read everything to enjoy this showSweet Kitten Feet said:
Sounds like this show isn't really for me then since I haven't read all the books, and watched all the animated series. I don't mind pulling in some elements of other things, but I really prefer the shows to kinda stand on their own. Same kind of complaint I have with superhero movies these days. They've gotten to the point where you have to watch all the content that came before to understand the current movie. I don't have that much time. I'm lucky to carve out time for this show each week.
Talent iirc is how she phrased it. The force is part of all living beings based on what Kenobi said in ANH/Star Wars. Whether that talent is measureable like we saw in TPM or just general talent, I mean I think it's clear that Sabine doesn't have that talent regardless of whether or not it is measureable just based on what we have been shown so far.Mathguy64 said:She said aptitude helps.

Technically, not the first time we see him use it.Moral High Horse said:bobinator said:

Not after Huyang told everyone exactly what they were in this recent episode.LB12Diamond said:
Watching Rebels definitely helps out on the back ground of the purgils.
