It'll be interesting to see if they scrub it out of the replays

Hmmm, I don't believe it. No way they have the balls to pull that off in Rebels but I hope I'm wrong.

I was watching the stream on TV and my sister came in and said "That guy is sooooo fake". I guess his enthusiasm doesn't seem genuine to some.
Also that interview with Lucas and Ford was awkward AF.
Yeah don't like him. He screams too much.
^ also that non genuine thing, can't stand that. Same reason I can't watch Jimmy Fallon, too awkward for me.

I guess it'll be a decent way to divine if he was joking or not!
Meesa will hold yoosa to this.

I dont' think he was joking. I think he just slipped. The way those two reacted to him seemed pretty genuine. They covered it up pretty quick and Matt Wood turned it into making fun of Maul dying.
I honestly don't remember if I do or don't.
He's okay.
He's like if the Internet grew its own Chris Hardwick, but way less needy.
I'm not entirely opposed to this.
Pin my post!

Why would Witwer know that though? If he did, that means they're ending the series next year, which contradicts what FPJ has been saying?

Why wouldn't he? He talks with everyone involved. They probably bullshit about a lot of this stuff amongst themselves.
I would agree, but I just don't see (do I need to spoiler this?)
everyone except Hera and Chopper dying on Rebels. Later books/comics, whatever, that's all possible. Obviously Ezra is an issue. I just don't see them killing Ezra on that show, especially if Kanan, that purple thing and Sabine are dying as well. Maybe just Kanan and Purple Guy (honestly can't remember his name), but it gets to be too much soon, for what Rebels is.
I just think they were spontaneously talking and suddenly realized how it would sound to the audience. Not 100% convinced yet.
Would be funny though.
Eh, I dunno.
In past interviews it seems like Filoni doesn't even tell actors what will happen to their own characters. They seem mighty tight lipped over there.

Nah, I think he was goofin'. Sam wouldn't have access to any plans for these characters after S4. We know Hera lives because of Forces of Destiny, but that's it.

His screeching is very irritating. I miss Peter whatshisname who used to do the SW show.

I mean, yeah, but these stories have been done. a lot of the voice acting's already been recorded.
They're not that secretive. The way the show is done sorta makes that sorta secrecy harder to maintain.
I dunno. it's not the information that had me going "oh, whoops" it was all of their instant reactions to the words leaving his mouth.

Purple Guy is my new favorite Rebels character. Purple Guy's gun stick is a cool weapon too
It's Zeb 
I like Anthony a lot more than Peter.
Peter didn't have much of a presence and was kinda boring, at least with Anthony you get a lot of humor.
Yeah he really needs to turn it down a notch.

Witwer could very well still be in the loop story-wise if he's still voicing Sheev.
His interviewing skills have the depth of a paper towel. The Lucas/Ford one was so bad
And yeah the whole "OMG I'm nerding out" stuff seems fake

I like Carboni with scripted stuff like The SW Show, but not as much for the live events.

I mean, it's probably quite genuine as far as sentiment goes, but in regards to expressing it, he kinda backed himself into a corner there.
His screaming at Harisson Ford resulted in Ford suddenly doing an awkward Monty Python misquote in the weirdest British accent I've ever heard.
He's a monster.

There's this, too.
I don't think there's any reason to believe Wood & Witwer don't know what's happening with that show. I think it's probable they do. It certainly looked like a slip-up, and you'd think if it was just an off-the-cuff guess awkwardly reacted to, someone up there would think to say "Oh, I was just guessing, or wondering out loud, I dont' actually know."
But instead they pivoted quickly to goofing on Maul being dead so Sam could goof on himself safely.
That's the sorta thing that gets done when you don't wanna call any attention to what just happened at all.
I mean, it coulda just been a fumbled bit of off-the-cuff speculation that got overreacted to, sure. Shit, I don't know what's going on behind the scenes either. But it read like a fuckup.
I mean, it helps that it's a pretty obvious thing to speculate, too. But if that's the case (and it is) why not just immediately say "I don't know. Im' just guessing. I don't know what's going on."
I mean don't get me wrong those guys are especially tough to interview for Star Wars but dude seems so one dimensional.

..any predictions besides Bronx-Man?
Just finished watching Rogue One. That was pretty good. That one commander made of CGI was hella jarring though. And I'm sad the scene with the Stormtroopers in the water didn't make it in, and then one were we see an AT-AT shoot at Jyn and Carcassian from a frog perspective. It was also a little bit long, but overall I quite liked it, and yet I expected more out of the characters from the rebellion.

It's so nice seeing father and son putting aside their differences.
Oh yeah I would have fucked that interview up too. Worse than he did.
I would just mumble some non-words and stare at Ford for 5 full minutes until I could run to the bathroom and cry my eyes out.
I'd basically be Troy meeting Levar Burton.
Awesome. Hayden seems like a cool dudeNerdy kid me is here for this:

Starring Benicio Del Toro as a foreboding new mercenary-type who, in a beat of irony, is very quickly offed by previous Star Wars punching-bag Captain Phasma.

Have you seen the original trilogy? The CGI Imperial is Tarkin.
Lol at the end they looked like somebody pulled a fire alarm
Will we see Luke in action?
Yes. I saw the original trilogy for the first time two years ago. Yeah, Tarkin's his name, although I can't say I remember him from the OT.
Then Kylo receives a transmission from Snoke

I have never not wanted to do something as much as go wait in this god forsaken line but here I am getting ready to head over like a fucking moron. Sounds like it'll be about the same number of people as last night when the doors open.
Lol rip back
