Star Wars

If you are a true SW fan, and have not seen "Rebels", I can't recommend it highly enough.

It reinvigorated my love for the original concept.

They delve into the inner workings of the Force including some neutral (non good/evil) characters including Anakin's former Padwan, and give a few glimpses as to what happens to people who leave the Empire.

It's very well written and well thought out, with some fairly complex characters, and a decent ending that has enough of a cliff hanger to suggest a sequel but not enough to leave the series unresolved.

I wish the writers of Rebels had been involved in either some of the live action movies or at least the new animated series, but unfortunately the new animated series is VERY dumbed down and sugar coated.

Rebels was even dark and introspective at times, examining a persons willingness to go on in difficult times.

There is also a underlying influence of Native American culture, which I believe is a good parallel with "the force", and a keen observation by the writers.

In the new series (which I cant even remember the title), 15 storm troopers all miss and no reinforcements arrive despite there being thousands on board the ship or station.

In Rebels, reinforcements always arrived, and the main characters had to plan around it or fight through it.
-and sometimes they got hit, took damage, or even became permanently wounded or killed!

Disney and the writers/producers should get an award for "realistic" (if you can call sci-fi such) treatment given to the plots and characters of Rebels and letting the audience, no matter their age, figure it out without their intelligence being insulted.

In fact, in the previous live action movie, they stole a key scene from Rebels!
In Rebels, a pack of "Force aware" wolves leads the party to the other side of the planet through a series of mazes which turns out to be a portal. Sound familiar?

Again, If you can stream it, watch it!
