Editing Star Wars:Rebels (section)

==The Bad==

* Since this is a Disney cartoon, the bad guys spend a large amount of their on-screen time (though not all, mind you) losing. This changes the Imperials not named Thrawn, Tarkin, Palpatine or Vader from an imposing force to [[Abbadon|cartoon villains]], although Rebels villains manage to stay intimidating more than Grievous did in Clone Wars.
* Battles slower paced than a Death Guard movement phase. Enjoy characters having conversations in cover-based shooting when everyone has Stormtrooper aim, including the main characters. Unlike The Clone Wars, this issue doesn't even get better as the series progresses.
* Like The Clone Wars, existence of shields is often either completely ignored or they deplete so quickly that it's barely worth it to even have them.
* The "lets punch and kick metal droids and people wearing armor"-thing from The Clone Wars returns
* Artstyle is generally considered a downgrade from The Clone Wars, though it does improve.
* [[Bullshit|Helicopter lightsabers]].
* Complete bipolarity in tone. This can create some great moments, but invariably ruins the mood episode by episode, or between the A and B plots. 
* Iron Squadron. Just...fucking [[Rage|Iron Squadron]].
* The series leans hard into using McQuarrie's conceptual art, and this can lead to dissonance with the final designs. Star Destroyers, for instance, have their bridge towers being way taller than they are elsewhere, and it takes some getting used to.
* Space Squid-whales annihilating a maximum strength Imperial Blockade in under 30 seconds.
* The changes to Hondo Ohnaka's character. Granted, it's been twenty years, but so far, nobody has stepped up to show what changed the guy in all that time. 
* Hera is a captain in the beginning of the series and later gets promoted to general... [[FAIL|yet wears rank insignia of a lieutenant throughout the series.]]
* TIE Fighters are used in space without spacesuits, even though it's well-known that TIE Fighters have no life support systems
