Narm / Star Wars Rebels

Go To

  • Something about the way Kanan says "Noo-OOO!" in "Rise of the Old Masters" suggests they didn't do multiple takes.
  • When Ezra learns his parents are dead and has a vision of them in "Legacy", the background piece, "Twin Moons", begins with an opera and starts when it cuts to the next scene where Ezra is mourning, which came off as overly dramatic and cheesy to some viewers (though not necessarily bad music — just mainly poor placement). Contributed to how The Reveal takes place in the last couple of minutes of the episode, which makes it feel rushed and forced.
  • Zeb talking about the genocide of Lasan is meant to come off as very sad, but for some fans, it just seemed overblown and hard to take seriously.
  • The Inquisitors being able to use their lightsabers as helicopter rotors is pulled out of nowhere in "Twilight of the Apprentice," and is seriously huge Artistic License – Physics. Might apply as Narm Charm for being a Mundane Made Awesome. Possibly intentional, as it demonstrates how much the Inquisitors have to compensate by using gimmicks while proper Force-users can use their connection to the Force, as well as showing that the Inquisitors only view the lightsabers as tools instead of an extension of one's self, like how the Empire views them.
  • Also from "Twilight of the Apprentice": Ahsoka's face is a little too expressive when she tells Vader "I'm no Jedi.", especially the mouth animation. The extreme closeup doesn't help.
  • Maul may be otherwise cool, but one of his lines approaches the Narm levels of General Grievous's "KEEL HEEM" line:
    Maul: That's it, young one! Use your anger! Use your hate! Let it fill you, FUUEEL YOOOUUUU!
  • The main antagonist of "Double Agent Droid" bearing resemblance to a guy you'd see in your IT department, complete with Nerd Glasses/Four Eyes, Zero Soul. The fact that glasses exist in the Used Future of Star Wars is a bit over it, and that he's based off of Pablo Hidalgo's appearance is crossing it more than it should.
  • Thrawn's reaction to the Bendu's appearance at the end of "Zero Hour" of "What Jedi devilry is this?" is either this or Narm Charm. Mikkelsen's delivery not overplaying it might lean to the latter, the Purple Prose pushes it to the former.
  • While it was certainly a very tragic moment, Hera's facial expression during Kanan's death was kinda goofy.
  • In Fool's Hope: Palpatine's Glamor Failure after Ezra collapses the temple shown as his hologram flickering on and off between his Sith appearance and his Chancellor disguise. This is a hologram, suggesting the silly idea that Palpatine's disguise was powered by holographic technology and not the Force. Quite underwhelming for how powerful Palpatine is played up as.
