Reported Problem for Star Wars Rebels
posted by Alexander CueninSTAFFMOD on April 30, 2020 at 3:48 AM
Item: Star Wars Rebels
Language: en-US
Type of Problem: Incorrect_content
Extra Details: Many of the episode numbers are off. For example, S1E1 is "Spark of Rebellion Part 1", whereas this displays it as "Droids in Distress", which is actually S1E3.
There are several occurrences like this throughout the season, you can use IMDb as a reference as for how the episodes should be correctly ordered. The episode numbers are locked otherwise I would have fixed this myself.

Hi, I'm not a TV expert, but we always follow the original network. IMDb data is added by regular users and may be incorrect or based on a different order. Here it seems that the pilot movie (added in the specials) counts as the first two episodes on IMDb. And the fact that a moderator locked up all the episodes indicates they confirmed the order as correct. It's possible I'm wrong though and if so a moderator with more TV-experience will reply and set me straight I'm sure.

In regards to your example, Sparks of Rebellion was first released as a movie that aired before season 1.

Agreed on it beeing aired before, but it is the first two episodes off the serie. Disney+ also lists it as the first episiode of the first season, just as Siege of Lothal is part of a Season. They fit perfectly in the series timeline, as they are ment to be, so it would be better to folow the timeline for consistency.

There's an alternative order with both specials in their respective seasons.
