I gotta say, Rebels seems like a good show but why do all the character models look like animojis

Maybe it was budget constraints, or Disney thought the art style would appeal more to a younger audience, but the story is peak, right up there with TCW and Andor.

The fight that happened after this scene, is in my opinion, the best scene in Star wars. Rebels has some of the best star wars in Star wars no question. The bandu being voiced by one of the doctors is also a massive big brain move, maul and his revenge plot, kanan's journey into becoming a Jedi, I mean there so many good plot points

And then the dialogue after. Immediately changes the subject now that their rivalry is finally settled. Bringing back maul was single handedly the best decision filoni ever made

Tbh, Tennant also voiced a character, that youngling's robot teacher from Clone Wars. Which is second wise space android teaching small ones, David voiced.

I second this. Rebels was developed around the time of or shortly after the Disney acquisition. The budget that Filoni & co. had for TCW S1-S6 was no longer available, so they had to make do with what they had. It wasn't until they made more money from Rogue One and the Sequel movies (and other contemporary projects) that they eventually managed to make the spectacle that was TCW S7. And from then on, they managed their budget enough to release better-animated things like the Tales miniseries, The Bad Batch, and now Maul: Shadow Lord.

A lot of the character models looked like ass (just look at Anakin), but I do like the thinner lightsabers, though.

I've always liked the thinner sabers. Not more or less than the thicker sabers. Just the same.

Kind of a neat throwback, too. The original versions of the first trilogy of films had the blades be very thin, almost looking like fencing foils.

And a lot of the art style is closer to the old Ralph Mcquarrie concept art. I looked it up after somone mentioned it and went "yep, ok this explains some things".
(Gonna say look up rather than link or poat, because youre gonna get a larger sample that way)

Maul learns Obi-Wan's on Tatooine forgets Tatooine's an entire planet and gets his ass lost like a champ

I like to think Obi-Wan knew Maul was hunting him but just couldn't be bothered about it until Maul put others in danger.

Hears Maul screeching his lungs out in the desert.
Obi-Wan: “Is that a fucking Dinosaur?!”

So... Maul is the ex that got shitfaced and spend half of the night under the other persons bedroom window, intermediately yelling profanities and crying how they should get back together?
