Is the rogue one trailer being released today or not really?
Yeah season 2 disappointed me a bit. It had its moments, but it didn't endup as great as I was hoping and I felt like nothing much substancial happened in half of it in spite of the increased episode count.
I'm the opposite. I think when I buy Asoka it'll probably kickstart me getting into the other Star Wars novels they've done in the past couple of years.
It seems unlikely. The leaked version basically looked like the original trailer with one or two short scenes added onto it, so they're probably saving them for a newer trailer to release down the line.

^ thanks for the answer, I rather wait for a more meaty one then.

That would be an interesting parallel, considering Kanan's blindness. I know Lucas wasn't fond of KOTOR 2's shades of grey view of the force, but I would hope that someone in the current company has a soft spot for the game and characters.
Nah
I'd rather they reconfigure the ancient times into something else that simply isn't "oh it's practically the same goddamn universe only 1000 years back"
Don't mean to diss on KOTOR though.
I would never say Rebels is terrible but they have yet to reach the level that Clone Wars peaked at for me.

Yep! I mean KOTOR was great but it was a video game and canon based on Dark Horse comics.
On that note, I seriously hope they kill him off for good already.
The character has kinda overstayed his welcome at this point.

KOTOR was good, but considering it was supposed to be 1000 years in the past made things weird in the long run.
I didn't expect to see him in the Season 3 trailer from today. I thought he would have just gotten a little arc to please those who wanted more Maul.
It was actually like 4000 years in the past, which made the samey art style even dumber.
It's a shame because the Tales of the Jedi comics that inspired it were so visually unique and actually felt ancient:

Yeah agreed. The season 2 finale was good but unforunately it hasn't hit Clone Wars peak yet, but there's plenty of time for the show to get there.
They did a fantastic job with him in the Clone Wars show. When I hadn't watched the show I was iffy on them bringing him back, but they do a good job. I'd say more but I don't want to go spoiling it for you.
Unforunately I agree with this though. I don't mind having him around this season, but I hope he doesn't hang around too much longer.

It was supposed to happen about two hours ago. The EA panel's supposed to start at 7.

Kieron Gillen tweeted the panel had finished. They just didn't show it.

High on life.
The tweet is deleted now, but it's still embedded here. I honestly remembered a more trustworthy source though, so really, who knows? Sorry to get anyone's hopes up if this isn't true.
Doubt it, the TFA sizzle reel was never shown in theaters.
They can show it later, they aired the Ashoka panel yesterday after it took place, Filoni was actually talking about the panel live on air after it aired assuming people had seen it.

LOL I noticed they were gone too.

I'm admittedly not fond it too much either, in so much that the game really likes to treat Traya as correct on her particularly nihilistic understanding of it (really not as neutral as she or the writers think she was), and the fandom has run away with the game's hyping of Revan as some sort of Force Messiah for being, again, 'neutral'.
That said, the concept for her still holds a lot of potential, and would really fit with how Rebels (and season 3 in particular, it seems) tries to explore differing approaches in trying to understand the force, even if they are more telling of the people behind such philosophies. Ezra's story arc seems built around people trying to pull him all sorts of ways: Kanan as his nominal but flawed Jedi mentor, Yoda as the senior Jedi but whose approach just doesn't fit Ezra's desires, the Inquistor(s) trying to sway him to the dark side so they might serve the Empire alongside them, Maul trying to make him into a tool with which to destroy the Empire and finally realise his continually denied ambitions. A Traya-like figure could provide a parallel not only with Kanan, but also with what the Bendu is apparently being built up as - a supposed 'neutral' from ancient times with wisdom to share.
Otherwise though, I honestly would place the odds pretty strongly on her being Traya, or being Traya in all but name. Filoni and crew clearly have a like for Kotor, as demonstrated by the latter seasons of clone wars - counting both actual and cut content - and... well, just about everything in the finale of Season 2 of Rebels to be honest. I mean, they just proved they're willing to put Thrawn back in, so never say never at the very least.
