Rebels Reviews - Episode 2 "Relics of the Old Republic"

Or as I like to call it, "Old Guys Kicking Ass".

I'm a bit behind schedule (this doesn't bode well for me) so we'll keep this short.

This episode was better than last week. 

We find our cast once again in a tight bind due to some sort of ship mechanical problem. Apparently, space ships are made by the same companies who manufacture expensive sports cars.

The Empire as always is hot on their tail. What are our heroes to do? Have an awesome game of Hide-and-go-Seek in a sandstorm of course. Isn't that what you'd do? 

Some thoughtful thoughts:

Kanan's continued distrust of the Clones feels genuine and I'm glad that he didn't give in too easily. (Like he did with his story to Ezra last week) He still did the right thing and saved them, but finds it hard to trust them. I feel he is more than justified. I mean, Clones did murder his master and a fair amount of Jedi. I'd hold a grudge too.

Favorite Moments: 

• Battle Tank vs Walker! I cheered out loud when Wolf smashed the Tank into the AT-AT. There was something about that scene that made me very happy.

• Clones making fun of their Stormtrooper replacements. And the Empire admitting that they are willing to send wave after wave of their own men at the enemy. 

Things I learned about this episode: 

• If you turn off your ship it becomes invisible... I know, with no power the scanners supposedly don't see it. Sure I'll buy that. But does the crew seriously not see the ship just floating there? 

* I can hear my friend, Melody yelling at me "Talking Dragons!" The phrase we use when you're just supposed to accept the nature of this particular fantasy universe. Though I think in this universe "Talking Slugs (Hutts) would be more appropriate.* 

• Walkers only have one speed. Full speed ahead means go at the same speed, but with more feeling. 
• The best droids are the moody droids that talk back to you.
• If you shoot an AT-AT in the neck, the legs give out. 

Random Thoughts:

We had a brief look at our new inquisitor. How many are there total do you think? I mean, did Vader train them? Palpatine? They're not Sith, so what exactly are they?
