Love the way rebels emphasizes the importance of mutual aid. Love that fighting Imperials comes second to helping people. Love that every other episode is just the rebels fighting tooth and nail for scraps and then giving much of it away. I remember people complaining so much about the amount of 'filler episodes' about them just stopping for gas or whatever and first of all, those episodes are great I love watching spacefam go on fun side quests (during which they almost die a lot and have character exploration and often there's fun new characters yall just can't have fun), but more importantly what the fuck do you think a resistance movement is? They're trying to feed and supply an illegal fleet AND help the people suffering under the Empire AND physically fight the Empire for said supplies AND hide from the Empire bc they do not have the strength to fight for the sake of fighting yet. That's a logistical nightmare, yes they are going to be spending 90% of their time scrounging for supplies, and it's hard.

as someone who got 2 concussions this year and inhaled toxic substances at the workplace i can confidently inform you all that all characters in the star wars prequels are absolved of stupidity. they're all dumb as a box of rocks but its not their fault that no one made them wear helmets in wartime. the introduction of SPOSHA (space OSHA) would reduce incidences of darth vader creation by at least one i just know it
