Throughout my time in the youtube comments section for every video involving Rebels, I've encountered so many hateful comments giving completely invalid criticisms on the new show when it hasn't even come out yet. Here's a list of all the complaints along with my own comments on them. Keep an open mind, silly haters. If you wanna see my list of why it'll be awesome, here is a link classicsonicawesome.deviantart…

It's Only For Kids And Not Adults
No, the writers themselves said it was for the family to enjoy. The Clone Wars was a family friendly cartoon. Family friendly does NOT mean it won't have serious and intense moments. The Original Trilogy was for the family to enjoy. Star Wars was never originally intended for only adults. Please, stop thinking of only yourselves.

This Show Is Only Made To Sell Toys
Hey idiots, Clone Wars sold toys. The Original Trilogy sold toys. Why is the idea of Rebels selling more toys such a new thing? The very reason why Han Solo is canonically still alive was to sell more toys according to George Lucas himself. 

It Won't Be Dark and Gritty Like Clone Wars
Clone Wars started out as fun and very adventure like in the beginning. It later PROGRESSED to becoming a more dark and serious show. The dark and serious nature of Star Wars has to be BUILT UP and DEVELOPED. Starting off as dark and gritty takes away whatever development the show would have had. Harry Potter had this same development and last time I checked, people loved it.

WHERE IS TEH WAR AND TEH BATTLES!?!?!?!
Rebels takes place in a time where there is NO WAR. The rebels haven't been organized yet, that's what the whole show is about. Sparking a rebellion big enough to fight the Empire! This isn't Clone Wars. This isn't a war drama that gives off the "war is hell" vibe. It's a space adventure just like the Original Trilogy. It's supposed to be fun and entertaining while building up to the inevitable Galactic Civil War. 

Where is Han, Leia, and Luke?
I'll tell ya where. All in different parts of the galaxies. A prequel series of these guys wouldn't make much sense. They didn't start the rebellion, nor were they a part of the rebellion before the films. Luke was a farmboy, Han was a smuggler, Leia is a princess. These characters aren't meant to meet each other until A New Hope. 

STARKILLER STARTED TEH REBELLION
NOT CANON ANYMORE! Look, I loved Force Unleashed's story as much as the next guy, but honestly, I welcome this change. I keep an open mind. Plus, I think Rebels brings a more meaningful story for the start of the Rebels. It starts off as a brave group of fighters forming a rebellion. In Force Unleashed, it was all a dumb inside job made by the Emperor himself that is destined to end in a hilariously ironic way. Think about it, I'd rather take Rebels's story.

It Looks Cartoony
Hey genius, Clone Wars looked like a cartoon! It was made to look like a cartoon and it animated like a cartoon! Rebels is NO DIFFERENT! Also, don't give me that "ITS TOO DIDNY" bullshit. The cartoon was entirely made by Lucasfilm Animation! Disney had nothing to do with designing the characters and the story. 

It'll Be Childish
Just because it won't start out as dark and gritty doesn't make it childish. It doesn't have to be a war drama to be a mature story that everyone will love. The Original Trilogy certainly wasn't. Also, despite the lack of grittyness, it'll still retain dark elements. The first episode is confirmed to death with things like death, slavery, and corruption. The preview and trailers already showed stormtroopers getting shot and blown up, wookies being imprisoned and enslaved, and civilians having their homes destroyed and being taken to prison.

TEH GRATE EMPIRE IS NAHT EVIL
You are an idiot. The Empire was always evil. Seriously, I' am sick of people constantly giving me shit about how the Rebels are bad and the Empire is good. Remember the destruction of Alderaan? An entire planet killed off by a deadly super laser. Last time I checked, that's not a very good thing to do.

The Animation is Bad
Okay, I can sort of agree that the animation could use some work, but the writers and animators have already confirmed that all the footage we saw of the show is a work in progress. The first episode they premiered in comic-con was unfinished.

George Lucas isn't Involved
This is a bad thing? Last time I checked, the man was raping the Originals and ONLY serving as creative consultant for Clone Wars. He barely did anything in his last years as the owner of Star Wars!

Where Are My Clone Wars Characters?
Watch Star Wars Episode 3. Most of them are dead or working for the Empire. Characters like Ahsoka are already gonna appear in Rebels because the show is being produced by the same guys who made Clone Wars to begin with, so please, calm your tits.

Bleh, I'm tired and a little angry. This is all I'll type for now, please comment and feel free to come up with whatever shit excuse you guys have to hate the show, I'll be there to prove you wrong ;)

Despite your entire post,
after all of rebels id say that it was terrible, the animation was horrific and this story slimly made it above decent. Keep in mind this is only my opinion and I dont mean to offend anyone
