It's stuff like this that makes me want to pull my hair out of my head one by one.

THE SHOW'S ONLY HAD FOUR EPISODES SO FAR!

Nearly every die-hard fan despised TCW when it first came out. And I think some of them were the ones saddest to see TCW end. The show has to find it's feet before it can truly begin to run, and I think they're getting there. While I've had a couple of facepalm moments--usually involving stormies and Ezra's crush on Sabine-- Rebels has not made too many mistakes, and I've found myself jumping up and down when it cuts to commercial on a cliffhanger. As for the characters, this is just their breakout episodes, they're just beginning to be introduced, so there will be confusion.

Therefore, my opinion of the characters:

The thing about Kanan blowing his cover as a Jedi pretty fast, honestly, I thought that was cool. Think, if you had spent twelve or so years trying to hide who you really were and suddenly had a choice between saving your friends or just letting the Empire run you down, it takes guts to reveal yourself as a Jedi. He was only a Padawan when the Order fell, so he's taking a huge step training Ezra. It's going to be interesting to watch how this unfolds. Kanan's pretty cool, he surprised me a bit.

Chopper is my favorite droid ever now. 'Nuff said.

Hera, I've taken a liking to as my second favorite Rebels character. She's a very kind, motherly person to the crew, but she can turn fiery, sarcastic and fierce with someone in the blink of an eye. Not to mention that she flies better then some Jedi I've seen! She's very world-wise, too, and I respect that. She's pretty awesome.

Zeb, I thought I'd like the least. But the first few minutes, I realized I was way wrong. He's big, tough, loud, and hilarious, and the anger issues he have, I can seriously relate too. Plus, how he gets along with Ezra, it reminds me so much of me and my big brother, it's kind of creepy. The cool kind of creepy, though.

Ezra reminds me so much of Ahsoka in Rise of the Old Masters I just found myself grinning. He's a really interesting character. I mean, he had to learn to survive by himself for seven of his fourteen years, so when he's suddenly thrown into this strange new family, he has a bit of a culture shock. And how he gets along with Kanan is just like Anakin and Ahsoka, in the beginning of her apprenticeship to Anakin. Thankfully, Kanan reminds me NOTHING of Anakin, so no cocky, overconfident Chosen Ones to annoy me.

Sabine. She's spunky, sarcastic, artistic, and loves to blow stuff up. Was the Rebels production crew using me as a study model or something?! She's a lot of fun to watch, and though I know most of the fan community is going to hate her, well, the same is with Ahsoka, and she's a major fan-favorite among girls like me who want a strong, unique female role model. I definitely know Sabine is my favorite Rebels character, I liked her the second I watched the intro video on YouTube and heard Dave say she was an artistic Mandalorian that liked to blow stuff up. BOO-YAH! (As for the Ezra/Sabine relationship... facepalm time. I think this is one of those crushes a kid gets and shakes eventually.)

The villains I haven't formed much of an opinion over besides that they found the perfect dude to voice the Inquisitor. And I've made up derogatory nicknames for the villains already, as per my hobby. Muscle-head (Grint), Lemon-licker/Scrunchface (Aresko), Muttonchops (Kallus), and the Maul-Wannabe (the Inquisitor).

All in all, I love Rebels. It's not supposed to be a replacement for TCW, and it's not trying to outdo TCW. It's supposed to be both a prologue and a sort of tribute to the trilogy that kick-started this galaxy, far, far away that has drawn us in for so long.
