    I have this blu ray set pre-ordered through Amazon and I am thrilled to dig into the episodes again. The special features appear robust enough, but I certainly miss those long Clone Wars bonus features.

    Just as long Disney just starts giving these releases lossless audio for once, rather than out-of-date ones.

    I really wish they could have made that Ahsoka/Vader duel clearer in the outcome. Did she live or die? The really frustrating part is that we’re probably not going to find out in season 3, as neither character is expected to make a re-appearance.

      The whole thing with Rebels makes me pause. I’ve watched this cartoon since day one, and i truthfully really enjoy it. I am certainly entertained. (I suppose that is the point) I do, however worry that as the writers strive to create compelling stories and characters with depth we are losing out on the value of the films. Pablo regularly refers to the films as having the most weight when it comes to canon… So why do I feel like this cartoon is taking away from the strength that our characters had in the films??? It’s cause we want to see Asoka battle her old master, I mean I loved it….. but none of it seems to fit with who Vader was in ANH…as we start to love these Rebels more and more and wonder where are they in Rogue One? Where are they in ANH? Why doesn’t Vader ever mention Asoka in ANH? I dunno… probably not a big deal. I’m always the guy who is super excited that there is more brand new Star Wars content in a few weeks…. I guess I am ready to move on from the time between PT and OT… Chuck Wendigs Life Debt would have been a great movie or cartoon?!?!?

        Like you, I’m really enjoying Rebels. But some of the stuff that you mentioned just doesn’t bother me. I don’t mind not seeing Rebels characters in Rogue One or ANH. Perhaps they’re dead. Perhaps they’re off somewhere else doing what they do. Galaxies are absolutely enormous places. They could be anywhere. And I don’t see any reason why Vader would have mentioned Ashoka. If you consider that the events that occur during the OT cover about three years of time, we’re getting to glimpse roughly 6 hours of that time. For all we know, Vader has mentioned Ashoka several times off camera.

            It’s okay. But I just don’t think it’s necessary to address every single inconsistency with some sort of in-universe explanation. Vader fought the way he did in ANH because the movie was filmed 40 years ago and…well…that’s just how it was filmed. Decades later we have Vader fighting with quite a bit more energy in other movies, animated shows, etc. But whatever. I just never found it all that compelling to chase down and explain every couple of dots that don’t seem to quite connect.

            god point. You have talked me off of the cliff! 🙂

            I’ve always seen his fight against Obi-wan as two old masters testing each other first, so instead of full on combat you end up with a few thrusts and parries. Though I wouldn’t mind seeing Vader being in that shuttle that blows up and then being treated in the Bacta tank.

        Everything has equal weight now, that’s what the new canon signifies. The movies win out over things like the novelization or something.

        I don’t see how Ashoka fighting Vader doesn’t fit with ANH.

        Where are these characters? Well, we haven’t seen the end of the story yet, so hold that question until later.

          All good points. I read this tweet from Pablo two days ago and went…um…huh?

            Right, the movies will trump the book versions of the movies, but Rebels and the movies are now equal weight.

            The books are adapted from the scripts so there are bound to be changes.

        I know Rebels is canon but in my mind I treat it as a unique fantasy setting within Star Wars. I assume this will work for me until an element of the show creeps into a movie.

        Why would Vader mention Ahsoka in ANH? He’s trying to forget her anyway.

    I supose that Spanish audio and subtitles are Latin Spanish, not Castilian Spanish. Can anybody confirm/deny it?

    This was an incredible season. Looking forward to diving into these special features. Season 2 was an achievement and a benchmark for the Lucasfilm Animation team, season three can only improve.
