Star Wars: Rebels
And here's our replacement for Clone Wars. Coming to Disney XD in fall 2014. Bridges the gap between Eps 3 and 4. Looks...very cool. Conceptually.

In.
Finally done with Clone Wars bullshit. |
My understanding is that it will depict the Empire spreading across the Star Wars galaxy while Vader hunts down the remaining Jedi Knights.
If so, count me in! |
Disney XD? Get off.

Lengthy interview in Entertainment Weekly, talking about how the new series goes to dark places and embraces the 1977 film's spirit: http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/01/23/st...els-interview/

Have to say I'm not particularly thrilled with either of these, though it's not much to go on...

This looks awesome, and I am probably going to have to go download the entire Clone Wars series now.

Joking aside, I tired of the Clone Wars and gave up after watching like half a season's worth maybe - just seemed too soft and not a very exciting show? Btw, how the hell are you not going to have Vader when it's dealing with between III & IV?????? I'd think that's a major draw... |
Quote:
Kinda dampened my enthusiasm for checking it out. |
Quote:
It is worth a watch if you've got nothing else going on. I saw on here or somewhere that some people that worked with the DC animated show Young Justice were on board with this. That makes me happy; YJ was a fantastic show that was cancelled way before its time. |
The Clone Wars got really really dark. The Darth Maul, Savage Oppress, and witches storyline got to the point that I wouldn't let my son watch it. Whole series of episodes focused only on dark side characters.

Toonami started showing the Clone Wars from the beginning. The show really does take a turn for the more mature as time goes on. It's pretty stark the contrast from the beginnings of the Clone Wars show to the end. |
Quote:
I mean the maturity level on some of them was atrocious - it wouldn't even rise to near the level of say the 1st Potter book- really undersold the bar, but at least it got better... (?) |
Speaking of Clone Wars....

Ok, so all these young Jedi running around.
Why was Luke so special then? I'm nearly at the point of Star Wars overkill and I used to love it. |

Just can't get excited about this.
|
Felt kind of flat to me, but I see some promise.
|
That main character doesn't seem likable. At least the Clone Wars had people you could root for.

|
I didn't feel that way.
|
If I had watched the pilot movie when it came out I would never have watched the rest of the series.
|
The movie isn't the series. For some reason, it's way worse.
|
Just all the Empire bullshit gets my wang hard.
I'm in. |
The kid character is pretty annoying though. He's like Aladdin in Star Wars.
The thing about this show is...both that Jedi and the kid need to die to fit in Canon. Hopefully. :D |

I've seen the short. Very "Disneyfied". I was waiting for Nemo to show up.

Did they really have to do the "IN A TIME"...shit???
Still, nice editing. |
Disney XDs already given them a second season. I've seen some pilot reviews and the general consensus seems to be that it's good. It apparently starts with the tone we've seen in most of the promo videos (which has felt off to me...) and then eventually settles down into something that feels a little more traditionally Star Wars.
Guess we'll find out tomorrow... |
Looks fun. Can't wait to see how those two Jedi die, because they have to.

I was VERY disappointed that Asoka did not die at the hand of Dooku.
It would have made Anakin's, "derp-derp goes your head"-treatment of Dooku at least somewhat more plausible. |

Personally, I want a Kyle Katarn movie. |

Revan is the only EU character outside of Bane( who can never get a movie now that Disney is in charge )that has story and marketing potential. You could cram so many characters in to a Revan movie. |

how was the first episode?
|
I had super low expectations when watching the first episode. Was better than I expected in terms of story and voice acting.
The animation is horrible though. Absolutely pathetic. Possibly the worst animation for action scenes possible. Stop motion video would have been an improvement of immeasurable levels. The battle scenes are very stiff and disjointed. I could only think that the animators were playing with the plastic action figures and decided that the cartoon figures should have the same range of motion. The Wookies from the second episode are an absolute joke. Before they came on, I was thinking "...well at least there has been no Jar Jar and Wookies are cool." Afterwards I was wishing for a Jar Jar episode. It really was that bad. For me, this show is an absolute fail after Clone Wars for adult viewers. They may have some great stories, but with such horrible animation it's unwatchable. Probably perfect for young kids though. |
I don't understand why they couldn't use the same animators from Clone WARs?
|
The kid was annoying, and they revealed the Jedi WAY too early. Should have stretched out his reveal. Not bad, but not great. Hopefully it hits its stride soon.

That pretty much looks like Clone Wars wookie to me.

I guess you'll just have to watch it then. The Clone Wars was a pretty annoying animation choice for me as well, but Rebels takes it further. I thought CW was lacking in texture and definition. Rebels makes CW look like a Pixar movie.

Yeah, those textures look like a nicer version of 'Davey and Goliath'.
http://remnantofgiants.files.wordpre...nd-goliath.jpg |
Yeah. I've disliked the animation choice for Rebels from the get go. A serious step back from the more realistic clone wars. It's disney though, and it looks like Disney.
|
The series is better with each episode. I'm not a huge fan if some of the animation but I'm really curious to see how this eventually ties into Episode VII.
My best guess is that Ezra is involved and most likely on the Dark side. |
Last ep was the best so far. They're starting to nail the original star wars feel.

Quote:
I think Kanan and Ezra are both interesting... more powerful naturally than they realize (Kanan broke out some impressive displays of power during the duel with the Inquisitor). |
Solid show.
|
Quote:
Kanan and Ezra also appear to be much more powerful than Qui Gon and Kenobi. Are they setting us up for Episode VII? I think so... |
