I don't see the connection? Is it because it's animated? Is that the difference in your head?
really? you dont see it?
well okay, the first clue is because it's animated, it's typically for kids.
second, it doesnt have dark adult comedy like family guy, south park or archer.
if you havent already figured it out from the first top two clues, then google the show. You'll find that it's a show featured as part of the Disney XD line up and I shouldnt even need to explain that's intended for kids

Okay. How does it differ from The Avengers? Aside from animation verses live action?

There's no difference
I still dont see what point you're trying to make. Despite the show is based on the movie, the show is clearly targetted for kids but yet somehow you dont see it. They've made toys based on both the show and the movie. Are the toys meant for adults too?
Not that there's anything wrong with adults enjoying Star Wars Rebels, I'm just drawing parallels to Bronies and My Little Pony.
The thing that is different with Bronies is that teenage and older men were most likely 100% never considered a target of My Little Pony. So the fact that they sprung up and gave themselves a name was out of left field.
Older people that were around for the original Star Wars movies happen to like this? Not a stretch for the average person to make at all.

Exactly.

Don't know if anyone else is watching this show, but as a Star Wars nut, I'm actually enjoying it, and it seems to be following a quicker path to darkness then the Clone Wars did and that show started off very light and almost kid centric.
Some Spoilers
Spoiler!
1) Grand Moff Tarkin is now involved in taking down the rebel cell on Lothal. His first act was to have the Inquisitor execute two incompetent officers. Whoever is voicing Tarkin is awesome at it.
2) The Inquisitor continues to not deliver in terms of dealing with the rebellion, hence Tarkin arriving on the world. Agent Kallus was also humbled by Tarkin.
3) Ezra continues to grow as a Jedi, but he has skirted close to the whole lust for revenge things a couple of times and his anger has gotten the better of him.
4) Kanan has been captured. The Rebels seized a communications tower and broadcast a system wide statement of Rebellion, the Imperials captured Kanan and destroyed the tower cutting the planet off from the Galaxy.
5) Darth Vader is coming, he's going to appear in the last episode of the first season in a couple of weeks. Its funny when Dave Filoni talks about Vader, he basically says at this point in the story there's really no emotional conflict in Vader, and that he's at the height of his rage and power. Think a younger Vader with his ANH attitude where blowing up planets and killing everyone is acceptable.
6) There continues to be a lot of speculation about who Fulcrum is, the shadowy figure coordinating the Rebellion, with rumors that Askley Eckstein has signed on for season two its easy to think that Fulcrum is Ashoka which creates all kinds of cool ideas in terms of Vader.
7) With Vader at the height of his power, and with Tarkin on board, and with Tim Curry being rumored to be reprising his role as Palpatine next season, it seems like the Empire is taking a keen interest in the goings on with Lothal.
8) Speculation - With Vader coming to Lothal, I'm thinking that he is most displeased with the efforts of the Inquisitor, could a new Inquisitor be in order.
In the final arc of season 5 of Clone Wars, Ashoka's friend and Padawan Barris Offee fell to the darkside and betrayed the Republic. A emotional battle of wills between Kanan and Ashoka on one side and Vader/Skywalker and Offee on the other.

In the Rise of the Old Masters, we found out that The Inquisitor had executed Barris' master Luminara Unduli.
How awesome would it be if Vader came out of his shuttle and addressed the Inquisitor and then mentioned that someone wanted to discuss revenge. And Vader steps aside and Barris strides out of the shuttle and ignites her light sabre and tells the Inquisitor that he will pay for murdering her master before striking him down

so I managed to catch the season ending final - Fire Across the Galaxy. And everything came together. There was a massive Empire Strikes back feel to this whole episode, but I'll go into that under the Spoiler tags. In terms of where this sits, probably one of the better epsidoes in the Animated Galaxy series that includes The Clone Wars. Of course, the whole Umbria Story Line in the Clone Wars was incredibly epic.
But this last episode really sets things up for season two.
Spoiler!
Our Rebels decide to completely ignore Fulcrums commands in terms of not resuing Kanan. They actually link things together nicely as they steal a Imperial Supply Ship and use the Tie Fighter that they stole earlier in the episode, which had been repainted by Sabine.
They know that Kanan is being taken to Mustafar the place where Jedi's go to die.
We see Kanan getting tortured by the Inquisitor, we get hints about how Kanan survived Order 66 by fleeing when his master tells him to run. The Inquisitor basically uses what he see's as Kanan's guilt against him.
Ezra manages to rescue Kanan but the whole thing is a trap as the Inquisitor wanted this fight all along and takes on Kanan and Ezra. The whole fight had a great feel to it like the Phantom Menace two on one deal. We get to see how polished the Inquisitor is, and he seemingly kills Ezra. Instead of enraging Kanan he response that he has nothing left to feel and the fight changes direction. Kanan defeats the Inquisitor and gives him a chance to surrender, but the Inquisitor replies that "There are worse things to fear then death" and leaps to his own demise.
The Rebels try to escape in their stolen Tie Fighter, but a major battle erupts, The Rebels can't find the Transport ship and it looks like they're doomed. Suddenly a rebel fleet jumps into the system and all hell breaks loose, this is a great battle.
The Rebels escape to the Ghost and make the jump to lightspeed.
We see a cloaked figure on the bridge of the ghost talking to Bail Organa. Its Fulcrum and Fulcrum is as expected a older Ashoka Tano. Great review. She indicates that the state of rebellion has changed.
We go back to the Imperials as Agent Kallus and Tarkin are discussing how some might see the Empire as weak. Tarkin replies that there is an alternate solution as Darth Vader comes down the ramp from his shuttle.
Overall a great episode and some great scenes.
Thoughts for next year
Spoiler!
Ashoka is back and she's one of the rebel leaders. Does she know about Vader and who he is, are we going to get a very emotional reunion between the two where we see how far Vader is willing to go?
With the death of the Inquisitor, I would think that we're going to get another Dark Side villain, I still think it makes sense that Ashoka's former best friend Barriss is a inquisitor.
I'm hoping we get some back story on how Ashoka and Kanan escaped order 66. I'd also like to see more of a back story on Sabine who went through the Imperial Academy.
Ezra is going strong in the force, but they have to resist the temptation to make him too strong, We don't need a Star Killer plot cheater here.
I have a feeling that we're going to see some of the familiar clone faces next year. It would be great to see Vader's 501 Legion made up strictly of familiar clones like Cody and others.
I think this series is going to leave Lothal behind as its main setting and become more galaxy wide.
I don't think Vader will be the regular villain next year. Timing wise he would be at the height of his power and rage, there would be very little of Anakin stirring in him even in a confrontation with Ashoka. He would basically slaughter this rebel cell and move on and he would have no reason to hesitate in killing Ezra and Kana.
What is the thing worse then death that the Inquisitor feared? A confrontation with Vader or worse yet the Emperor? I think we find out next season"

I am still on the fence. Hera could be my favorite non Jedi character, and I am happy to see my favorite Jeri again but... what the hell happened with the redesign? The face already in an animation style is changed far too much and not in a passage of time way either as this would require an entire new bone structure.
It's also funny to see the people who had a hard on for killing said character are back again and I still say that it would be a bad idea from a story telling point and from a marketing and PR point.
And now for a completely random comment. Ezra's eyes are too blue it looks like he has been doing spice.

Cody was never a member of the 501st. You're thinking Rex.
True, but
Spoiler!
We know that the Empire went away from Clone troops at some point between ROTS and ANH, and that the recruit troopers weren't anywhere near as good as the Fett clones. so it would make sense for Vader to bring as many of the clones into his elite legion.
I guess the only problem would be that the Clones age at an accelerated rate. So if Rebels' happens about 15 years after order 66 most of the clones that survived would probably be in their late 50's or early 60's age wise.
