Yeah that's right another thread. I can so I will.

 

Anyway the first female Rebels character! She's a Mandalorian, and seems pretty cool and artsy. Though I'm not sure what to make of her at this point. The other character is a Twi'lek Freedom Fighter and I'll post her vid when it appears.

 

Now I know there's been so talk about the lack of female leads in Rebels and Star Wars as a whole, so yeah discuss

 

EDIT: The final Rebels character has been revealed,

Ugh Mando....but yeah...looks good. Can see the vid now, looks ok. Edited February 19, 2014 by Wolfninjajedi

A female mando? That's huge - a female Star Wars character front and center (assuming she is) that's not a politician or jedi. There have been others such as Aurra and Bo-Katan, though they were ultimately minor characters during the Clone Wars run.

 

The only potential downside is that she's clearly very young, but it is what it is. It does appear this show is aimed at a younger audience, so that's to be expected.

 

My initial reaction is I don't like the street punk graffiti tagging, but I quickly realized it can be appropriate for a mandalorian given the clan nature of mandos, and their penchant for personalizing armors with various emblems and logos.

 

She could be of particular interest since Boba Fett is in his prime bounty hunting during this period. A Boba Fett/Sabine episode could be cool.

 

We'll see, but she looks like she could be a lot of fun.

I agree actually. I mean altogether. I pink Mando? Really? Who likes to "express herself through art"?

 

Hmmm... looks like we got ourselves a real hippie Mando.

My initial reaction: Oh God, the pink. Why???

 

Second reaction: This is enforcing gender stereotypes.

 

Third reaction: She's actually kinda cool, and a unique character.

 

All around, I like her. I'm not sure how thrilled I am that "sassy" and "feisty" are two words frequently used to describe her, but I think it's awesome that there's a female mandalorian. Boba Fett was arguably the most influential character in the OT, compared to the amount of screen time he got. Every boy wants to be Boba Fett for Halloween. I really hope that every girl wants to be Sabine for Halloween once this show starts.

 

The explosives specialization? Awesome.

 

Thank God we know there will be at least two female main characters. Thank God. My fears about this show have been sated, at least for the most part. Still, the pink bothers me.

Its OK people, a member of the female sex approves.

 

But yeah... pink lol. Totally just to sell the lunch boxes.

On another note, the note of her being Mandalorian, I really hope they take the opportunity to delve into Mandalorian culture and character - and don't just pass it off as "she's a tomboy! Yeah!" I want her speaking in Mando'a! Edited February 19, 2014 by Beniboybling

I just hope they don't go too overboard with it and try to make her out to be like one of the guys, or whatever. I mean character development is fine and all, but they don't need to try so hard.

YYYYYYYEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Called it, am I good or what.

YYYYYYYEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The latter.

 

I'm still on the fence when it comes to the show as a whole, guess we'll find out how it is later.

Pink glitter armor protects as well as grey/green one. It just has slight downsides in the camouflage section, but if you hide for example in a toy store, you are virtually invisible with it.

I like her

 

Oh. And Big Whoop she wears pink, these characters are meant to be relatable, and it's a kids show.

 

I don't care how stereotypical it is, the majority of younger girls love pink, he'll, I'm in my 20s and I Love pink

So this is what happens when Disney gets their hands on Mandalorians. Would've been better to have Bo-Katan make a comeback as an older, wiser Mando character. I just don't see how Sabine fits in at all with the CW Mandos that Filoni created. Now if she stole the armor and was a make believe Mando like Jodo Kast, I'd buy it.

 

This takes a huge dump on what used to be a cool warrior culture. How many people would be happy with a spunky, sassy tagger Spartan? A spunky, sassy, tagger Samurai? A spunky, sassy, tagger Klingon? etc. etc.

 

That's the last Rebels character and the last female character. She's exactly how I thought she would be and I like her. All in all I think they've got quite a good balance of character here and I'm interested to see how they'll be explored.

She looks nice too yep.

 

Also why is it I'm hearing an echo? I could have sworn we heard

 

"They lead the Rebels"

 

So....are they all the leaders? XD

I like all the characters too. I'm rather surprised at them.

 

Something I'm noticing, though, is that on every damn comment page for this show people are all like "I hope Ahsoka is in this show!!!1!!". From what little I've seen TCW, she really didn't seem that interesting. What's with all the love towards her?

She grows on you, if you haven't watched the entire series you wouldn't know...

Do they even make lunchboxes anymore? I can't recall seeing any on store shelves since the 80s.

The underlined part is key. Ashoka is an annoying snot in the first season, but she evolves and matures over the next four seasons.

 

One of the reasons she could be good in this show is that Darth Vader can potentially appear, and Ashoka had become like a little sister to Anakin.

 

Aside from that, as stated, Asoka evolved into an interesting character over the course of 5 seasons, and she'd roughly be over 30 years old during this time; so seeing her reaction to the Empire and the Rebels could be fun.

Why must Mandalorian culture be butchered by this....Monstrosity? I am rather disappointed. Dave Filoni and his goons wreck more and more Star Wars lore with each passing month.

Remember, Disney owns Star Wars now. Hence the pink adorable Mandolorian for kiddies. Hopefully Sith won't be butchered next. Edited February 22, 2014 by Sadishist

No, they will just make the sith have pink skirts and pink lightsabers while texting to their boyfriends on holographic cell phones.

Mandalorians have always been artistic–in war and in music–but Sabine just shows it in a different way. And there's never been anything that says "Mandalorians can't have pink armor." Ever. I don't get the idea that "pink is bad because it means they're catering to kiddies by making her adorable!" She blows things up, remember?
