One popular storyline could be a character getting a makeover haircut that changes their whole look and how they're perceived. For example, Ezra could get a new haircut that makes him seem more mature and it could be part of his journey to becoming a stronger Jedi. Another might be a story where the haircut is a symbol of a new alliance or a break from the past. Maybe Sabine dyes her hair a different color as part of a new mission identity.
Haircuts can show a character's growth. For example, if a character like Ezra starts with a messy, unkempt haircut and then gets a more refined one, it can symbolize his development from a naive boy to a more disciplined Jedi. It's like his outer appearance is matching his inner transformation.
One similar fanfic could be 'Endless Struggles in the Rebellion'. It also focuses on the hardships that the Star Wars Rebels characters face. Another might be 'Troubled Times for the Ghost Crew' which, like the one you mentioned, likely has the crew dealing with one problem after another. There's also 'Perils of the Rebellion' which would probably have a similar theme of the rebels constantly facing difficulties.
Some Star Wars Rebels time travel fanfics focus on the relationships between the characters. When time travel is involved, characters may interact with their past or future selves. This can lead to some really interesting character development, like Kanan having to come to terms with a future version of Ezra who has changed a great deal due to his time - traveling experiences.
One great Sabine and Ezra fanfic could be one where they go on a secret mission together. It might explore their growing bond as they face challenges. Maybe they have to infiltrate an Imperial base, and along the way, they learn more about each other's pasts. Their different skills, Sabine's artistry and combat skills and Ezra's connection to the Force, would make for an interesting dynamic during the mission.
Well, Galen Marek in a Star Wars Rebels fanfic might be a bit of an anachronism at first glance. But if you think about it, the Star Wars universe is vast. He could have been in hiding for years. In the context of Rebels, he could be a force for change. He might be drawn to the Rebellion's cause because of his own experiences with the Empire's cruelty. His presence could also attract unwanted attention from the Empire, leading to some tense moments in the fanfic. For example, the Inquisitors might sense his power and start hunting him, which could then put the Rebels in danger as they try to protect him.
One great Ezra and Sabine fanfic is 'Bonding on Lothal'. It really delves into their relationship during the Rebellion on Lothal. The author does an amazing job of showing how they rely on each other and grow together as characters.
One aspect could be the Rebels' reactions to the complex political situations in the Clone Wars. They might be shocked or inspired by the different alliances and betrayals that took place. It could also show how the Clone Wars era influenced the technology and weaponry available during the Rebels' time, like how the Rebels might see the evolution of starfighters from the Clone Wars to their era.
A possible 'Star Wars haircut fanfic' could revolve around a group of rebels. One of the rebels has a really long, shaggy haircut that keeps getting in the way during missions. So, the rest of the group convinces them to get a haircut. But the rebel is hesitant because their long hair has some sentimental value. Eventually, they get a more practical haircut, like a short military - style cut. This change not only makes them more efficient in combat but also gives them a new sense of confidence. And it could be a starting point for a deeper exploration of the character's growth and their relationship with the group.
The plot could involve the Rebels using the knowledge from the Clone Wars to their advantage. Maybe they discover a long - forgotten battle strategy that was used by the Jedi in the Clone Wars. They then adapt it to a mission against the Empire. Also, the characters could have different reactions to the Clone Wars heroes and villains. Hera might admire some of the Clone Wars leaders, while Zeb could be more critical of the actions of some of the clones.
