** Back when [[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars "The Lost Missions"]] came to Creator/{{Netflix}}, not everyone was particularly happy about the revelation of Order 66 being a result of [[ManchurianAgent brain-implanted microchips]] instead of a [[JustFollowingOrders contingency order]]. Barring the usual FandomRivalry between ''The Clone Wars'' and Creator/KarenTraviss's [[Literature/RepublicCommando novels]] (and other parts of the ''[[Franchise/StarWarsLegends Legends]]'' continuity), some of those against the revelation saw this as diminishing the likelihood of any clones refusing to follow Order 66. With Season 2 revealing that Rex, Wolffe and Gregor had removed their chips and are now allies to ''Ghost'' crew, the show retains the possibility of other clones having faulty chips, or growing suspicious and likewise having their chips removed, thus also refusing to follow the order to turn on their Jedi companions.

** As of "The Honorable Ones", Zeb/Kallus is now being considered. However, it did become controversial as a romance pairing for obvious reasons similar to Mallus (and was also poked at as a joke by other parts of the Internet), and the fact that it is almost vocal enough as the Sabezra fanbase has begun to gain fatigue in fans of the characters due to {{Flanderization}} by the shippers.

** Whether or not [[spoiler: Maul's death]] in "Twin Suns" actually works. [[spoiler:Some fans believe it was a fitting end for the character, dying in the arms of his old foe while believing that "the Chosen One" would avenge everything that the Sith had done to him and those he loved -- and possibly what had been done to Obi-Wan, finally making some sort of peace with him. Others felt that his death was a waste and a cop out, making most of his inclusion in ''Rebels,'' or at least its third season, pretty pointless. Still others accept that Maul dying was clearly foreshadowed and inevitable, but wish that he could have gone out with more of a bang than a duel ''that only lasted a few seconds'', especially when his final confrontation with Obi-Wan had been hyped up so much in the marketing. There are also quite a few fans who originally didn't like the battle due to its brevity, but began to appreciate it more after understanding the symbolism and FridgeBrilliance behind it.]] [[note]]Explanation: The exchange breaks down like this. First Darth Maul taunts Obi-Wan while Obi counters everything Maul says to him. Maul gets frustrated, but then realizes that Obi-Wan is protecting someone on the planet. Obi-Wan ignites his saber in response knowing that he can't let Maul leave alive. Obi-Wan takes his first stance with his Saber above his head and his free hand pointing two fingers at Maul. Maul takes a preliminary stance by holding his lightsaber out in front of him and igniting the other end of his saber and them he spins his saber around and holds it behind him with one hand. Finally, Maul switches to the stance he fought Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon with. Obi-Wan, seeing this, switches to his stance that he would fight Darth Vader with on the Death Star. The first stance Obi-Wan took was a common one that he used in his youth while the second was the one he used in his wiser and quieter days. Finally, Obi-Wan switches to Qui-Gon's preferred stance. Maul, seeing this, tries to kill Obi-Wan by stunning him with a strike to the face with the shaft of his lightsaber. This is the same move that let him kill Qui-Gon. Obi-Wan switched to Qui-Gon's stance because he knew that Maul would try the same trick and when Maul goes for it, Obi-Wan slices his saber right down the middle, cutting Maul's blade in half and killing him. Not only did Obi-Wan score poetic justice by defeating Maul with Qui-Gon's stance while also surpassing his master, he also proved to have grown much wiser and stronger while Maul has fallen into stagnancy and despair. For the fans who love the exchange, the amount of detail, thought, and [[CallBack call backs]] included in the scene is what sells it. All of this happens in just a few dozens of seconds. [[https://youtu.be/A-Fx94bdGrQ This video does a good job of explaining it.]] Also, this symbolism and strategizing by Obi-Wan is mirrored in an [[https://youtu.be/HrkFj6iepMs explanation of the scene by Darth Maul's voice actor.]][[/note]]
