More people need to feel the love for Rebels. This trailer deserves a new thread.

The people who make Rebels need to learn how to do some god-damned texture-work.

Pretty sure the people who make Rebels are just the people who made Clone Wars. The difference is the budget. Lucas dumped a bunch of his own money into TCW.

Same team as Clone Wars. Except there were some layoff's and budget cuts. They can only do so much with what money they are given.
The ratings are pretty mediocre. so the lower budget helps there, if the show had the budget of The Clone Wars it would be long cancelled already likely.

Even Clone Wars didn't have spectacular textures, though. I wanna see bump-mapping and shit.
Pretty sure the ratings will go sky high when the VII hype begins
I really doubt it, Rebels has a niche audience on a fairly niche channel.
Its more hardcore when you actually see him

Rebels is dying on Disney XD or whatever the eff it's called.
I wonder how it would do if it was on network ABC on, say, early Sunday evening?

People usually have to have a higher cable tier to even get the channel, and in this day and age when many are opting for streaming services instead then the show just doesn't really have a chance.
Should be a Netflix series like Clone Wars Season 6

Yea. I keep hoping to fire up Twitter, or look on Netflix, and see something about a Star Wars show.
Edit: Battlefront is a lot of fun. Looks absolutely excellent.
I remember some crazy people were irrationally hoping that the Boba Fett of the OT was not the Jango clone.
Well, the new Battlefront brought back the original actor who played Jango Fett and the Clones to play Boba. And this game is canon

"That was for Jango".
Seems to have done a pretty good job.

"As you wish" is much better now that Morrison got some actual direction to do it instead.

Wasn't his voice already changed in the blu-ray? And I think straight up calling the game canon isn't exactly accurate, though the individual elements it draws from are (but not the way it puts it back together, re: Luke in black with a green lightsaber dancing around Hoth).

This is the guy who voices Boba on the Blu-Ray.

Well...this gives me hope for a Clone Wars DLC....it still should've been in the base game IMO.
UMBARA PLS

Yeah, I think it's pretty unlikely for this one unfortunately. They've still got a few OT locations they could use and I think Force Awakens related DLC is a given next year.
It's Wren.

We already know that Ren is the title as well. JJ said Kylo's one of the Knights of Ren. I assume the Kylo bit isn't his real name either.
That's better
Whoops! I forgot which was the title and which was the name backwards. Please disregard and remove all proof of my error

So Morrison is already confirmed for the Fett movie?

Since the movie itself isn't even confirmed it's hard to believe they've cast him. They haven't even begun casting for the Han Solo movie which is actually announced.
Shattered Empire #2 and Vader #10 might be my go to rebuttal to anyone who says the prequels will be ignored in the ST, loved those comics
STAR WARS #10 was...kinda boring, this is how luke got saber skills? kinda lame
Its kinda surprising Sheev never occupied Naboo with Imperial Forces...also the new Queen seems kinda hot...

I thought Vader was easily the best of the bunch this month, though they were all fun reads.
Chewbacca #1 next week.

This is really good to hear. I felt that season one wasn't that good at the start, but I'm glad that it gotten better.

I don't really care about the backstory canon debate, although I do feel the Fett character of the prequels was shoehorned in, and the Jango actor was miscast (and the shitty writing and direction go without saying).
My guess is they don't have the Boba character figured out yet for the movies and considering most of the other big names aren't voicing their characters either, the Temuera dude was probably cheap and available. Honestly, the guy is a nobody actor and hasn't even voiced Boba Fett in years, so I have real doubts his dubbing is any hint of the character's direction moving forward.
Agreed on Star Wars #10, pretty uneventful issue, and the Sana/Han situation is becoming way too drawn out
All movies must adhere to the previous six, as Kennedy said.
It's either Temuera or a young look-alike, for the movies that is.
If they needed a cheap voice for the game they could have used the Clone Wars/Rebels clone actor who has a pretty damn good voice for the role and he's working for Lucasfilm right now, yet they decided to go for Morrison.
It seems to me they want to keep it as close as possible to the current canon. And lets be real Fischer and Hamill are nobody actors too, outside of geekdom of course.
I did get a chuckle with the "Deal" exchange

Fortunately Boba Fett has almost no on screen canon and it will be easy to flesh out and recast him, just like they did with original actor and voice. Who knows, they'll have him climb out of the pit and need a full body reconstruction which gives him a new face, but I seriously doubt they will feel beholden to Temeura Morrison just for the sake of canon.

Boba Fett is in Clone Wars a lot. And that's canon.
He is a kid in AotC and TCW though. If they want a movie of his post sith life its either Temuera or a young look alike if they decide to have Boba in his twenties
Just finished The Secret Academy.
Great book and great end for the Servants of the Empire series. It's really impressive that this young adult novel series is easily the best thing in the new canon so far. I really hope Zare (and Merei) show up more (or in Merei's case, at all) in the Rebels show or that they get some more books. There's so much that can still be done with them.
It also has some interesting hints towards The Force Awakens, which were unexpected.

Thought the Star Wars comics had a really strong week. Lando concluded nicely but I really enjoyed them all. Looking forward to Chewbacca next week.
His backstory is actually pretty detailed thanks to Clone Wars I would say. any future Boba movie will not contradict his Jango/Clone origins.
Finally finished season 5 of Clone Wars.
The ending, with
, was fantastic and really made me respect all the character growth that she's been through.
And I'm expecting Cad Bane. I'm also expecting Boba Fett in full badass mode now it's during his prime and his embarrassing teenage years are behind him. Maybe we'll see the two together, either as rivals or partners.
The ending, with
Ahsoka refusing the Jedi council's offer to come back
She saw how wrong-headed the Jedi Council had become; they were willing to throw her, a hero who had done their bidding several times, to the lions at the drop of a hat. Even with so little hard evidence against her (like, say, actual video footage of her murdering clone troopers in the many places where there should have been video footage), they turned on her and allowed her to be nearly executed. I'm guessing the only Jedi Masters not to vote against her were Plo-Koon (who always showed great faith in her) and Obi-Wan, but even they were still bound to a system more concerned with politics and protocol than trust and loyalty. So when Mace Windu gave a weak-ass apology, I'm glad she refused it. She deserved better than the Jedi Order, and as Fulcrum in Rebels it's clear she became someone greater than any of the stuffy-old men who were willing to abandon a friend and child. Also, Anakin's turn against the Jedi now has a lot more context; he had seen the worst of the Jedi Order, their blindness and dispassionate callousness. Basically, the finale of season 5 shows why the Jedi fell and why Ahsoka survived.
(Clone Wars spoilers)
I'm surprised the Seventh Sister is not Barriss considering she's a force sensitive dark side woman of the same or similar species. I'm not sure we'll see her if the writers didn't take this opportunity.

Filoni has said he knows what he'd want to do with that character. Maybe if there's a season three of Rebels we'll find out what happened to her.

So far as Anakin's turn against the Jedi: While it might seem like the events of the Season Five finale would factor in, that rough-animated version of a storyarc that happened afterwards seems to point at the idea Anakin doesn't blame the JEDI for how that went down. He's upset at the other party.
(not sure how much of what we're talking about is actually a spoiler at all, considering how openly the fact of it is discussed basically everywhere at this point)
