I haven't seen an episode of this myself, but I will still defend it.

1. You're being just to stiff about this. If the show isn't good right now, it will get better over time. Trust me, thats just happened with too many TV shows.

2. I agree with relationship stuff with Ezra & Sabine. However, these characters will mature, and probably just cut it out. Remember how there were alot of people when the Clone Wars just started, that said Ahsoka Tano and Captain Rex had a thing together? Well, Ahsoka gained more experience, and its clear by the end of the show (With the convenient intervention of Lux Bonteri) that they had a respect for each other, but no relationship whatsoever.

3. As for Sabine, YOU CAN TELL I ADORE HER. OKAY?! Alright. So, she will have a super defense from me. Okay, so all these people are hating on her for being a "Mandolorian." Well, didn't disney cancel all that stuff? That even isn't canon, canonicly all we know about Mandolorians is Death Watch and Jango Fett. Which yeah, is not very much. As for her artisticness, I find it cool and creative. She's like a Star Wars Rapunzel. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH HAVING COSTUMIZED (If I spelled that correctly) ARMOR!!!! Her paint explosions are cool, and overall I think she was made to be a 'cute' character. One that would open up to girls not necessarily into Star Wars, and let them "Take their first step into a larger world."

4. There is much not yet explained, that probably will be later. It took a year for Star Trek Voyager to explain why the Maquis were in the badlands, and they did it very well, in a very good episode. We will see flashbacks and characters explaining from their own words stuff like this, we just need to give the show a little more time. THE STORY WILL UNFOLD! Just be patient.

5. The whole stormtrooper/empire thing. The empire is indeed evil, as they began by a sith killing a jedi, and a huge massecre of the whole Jedi Order by the 501st legion. You can't say they were just following orders, because in a season 6 arc, it was shown at the embryonic stage, they were implanted with organic chips that told them when the time was right, they would rebel against their Jedi Generals without hesitation and kill them. In books I've read, its clear the whole point of the empire is the slavery and service of the whole galaxy, under penalty of extermination. Even the Stormtroopers themselves are cruel. As for them going down too quickly, its possible that the next phase of Stormtroopers (Seen in the Original Trilogy) were trained to not as fall as easily to Rebels, as they were beginning to pose a greater threat, and the Empire wasn't prepared.

Overall, Star Wars Rebels was not ment as a replacement for the Clone Wars, but it came at the right moment. The Clone Wars was running out of ideas, and its nearly every episode you can see a reference/copied idea from a famous movie or game. As a matter of fact, there were planned episodes with this stuff, and for some reason, Filoni was proud of it. It was a nice show, but I recognize it now as the 'show with no original ideas' and I joke about it all the time.

That was MY opinion. I don't know if its shared, but I just needed to state it.
