I have my second final exam on Friday afternoon. What did I do last night?

(a) Finished reviewing my notes, like I had planned,

(b) Took a practice exam, like I had hoped, or

(c) Watched the first few episodes of Rebels, read both volumes of the Kanan comics, and started in on A New Dawn.

...yeah, it was option (c). I'm not exactly a paragon of responsibility.

I watched the first few minutes of the Bad Batch episode (even though I said I wouldn't), but didn't really get into it. Then I saw what Indy said about it, and somehow that led to me watching the first episode of Rebels (after seeing [personal profile] independence1776 talk about it for years), just to try it out....

It was so good. I was not prepared for it to be that good. I was five episodes in almost before I realized it, which practically never happens for me with TV shows. And the Kanan comics are amazing! Now I know what I'm doing when exams are over! (Hopefully I can hold off until then....)

Rebels is surprisingly good, isn't it? I just started watching myself a few weeks ago on the promise of Ahsoka and was so surprised when I, you know, felt things about the characters! Even Kanan and Ezra, whom I did not expect to like! I was not aware there were Kanan comics, and I definitely ought to check those out if I can.

Good luck on exams! At least you know you have a treat waiting for you once you finish :)

oh, and P.S., there is an excellent Kanan- and Ezra-centric vid by [archiveofourown.org profile] starlady called "The Last of the Real Ones" that I highly recommend. Spoilers through season 3, though, so maybe it's a second-tier treat!

I know just what you mean. I hope it continues to be good for you, in the enjoyment sense and also in the not-spoiling-semesters sense :p

The comics are currently available on Comixology for 64% off: Volume 1 and Volume 2!

That's an awesome vid, though it does have season 4 spoilers as well.

Sorry not sorry?

Actually, I am sorry and I hope your grade doesn't suffer for it!

But yeah. It's that good. There's a reason it's what catapulted me back into SW fandom and has kept my attention.

Okay!

I flatly forbade myself from watching Rebels during the semester. I started my rewatch Monday evening. xD

Also: love the Depa icon!

I should probably warn you that the last three episodes of S1 are a three parter, though they're not labeled that way.

The first thing I did after watching the first episode was go to youtube to see if anyone had made that vid -- and they had!! (There's another one to the same song that uses more clips from later in the series, but I really like the pure 1:1 matching of this one.)

I watched Rebels last year, when I was having a bit of a SW time, and, having bounced off TCW (or at least, have extremely mixed feelings about it), I was startled to find how good Rebels was and how much I enjoyed it. I immediately gave my SW-loving nephew S1 for his birthday and the nieblings all loved it too.
