YMMV / Star Wars Rebels S2E05 "Wings of the Master"

Go To

  • Fridge Logic: Deconstructed. Though the B-Wing prototype has a really powerful laser cannon that the final versions don't and a gunner turret that would be scrapped when the B-wing expanded years later, it's also noted to have a bunch of bugs that need to be ironed out, one of which almost causes it to be rendered useless. At some point, the designers eventually decided that a huge magazine of proton torpedoes and ion cannons were more practical than a bulky Converging-Stream Weapon. Though one has to wonder why such a powerful weapon was dropped from The Alliance's armory entirely. Considering the weapon could two-shot a cruiser, it seems odd that they apparently never tried to fix the flaws with its design. The rebellion could surely have made use of it, as the episode itself provides a workaround (strapping the B-Wing to a hyper-capable shuttle), unless it had some additional flaws which are not explored in the episode.
  • Suspiciously Similar Song: The music that plays during the initial flight of the B-Wing is such a suspiciously similar song to the opening theme of The Rocketeer that if Disney didn't already own both properties there would be a legitimate case for legal action.
