dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in !the_dunk_tank@www.hexbear.net, it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

No thank you, I appreciated how rebels was able to live in it's own world without being a part of the main jedi storyline.

Also it was made for kids, and they much prefer big funny purple monster guy over grouchy soldier from some previous media they've never seen before.

Eh, you have a good point about it being consciously more of a kids' show than TCW was by comparison and I still enjoyed the series for the most part but it's strange to me that they wanted to have their cake and eat it too with Rebels. Funny purple alien guy and wacky robot get into hijinks, but also there's stuff for the superfan grown ups like Maul's arc, or the Darksaber and Mandalorian culture stuff with Sabine, or bringing Thrawn back into canon that I feel like is a bit at odds with intentionally being more kid friendly.

spoileralso really don't like the "world between worlds" stuff despite looking cool, I was convinced before Episode IX came out they were gonna use that for some time travel-y explanation for the Emperor's return and I guess they still thought no explanation was better than that? I still have no clue what happened there tbh
