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.

He never really left the military or stopped fighting a war. He was a soldier for most of his adult life, and had that mentality And once the command structure was obliterated and a few "fellow soldiers" he admired were vaporized, he really let the hate start to flow. Compare his demeanor between IV and V. |

Okay. What's the deal with Ezra's helmet? It seems totally random when he puts it on. At times I know it's to help him hide his identity, but what other functions does a helmet like that serve? Does the visor help keep from getting vision messed up in a fight with lasers blisters? For so, then why doesn't everyone use them? It's a kind of silly complaint but it always seems weird when he puts his helmet on and is like "okay. Let's go!"

Word is that Grand Admiral Thrawn will appear in Season 3 of Rebels. Two episodes will be shown at Star Wars Celebration Europe in July. |

That said, I'm sure that Dave Filoni and Simon Kinberg will figure out a way to incorporate Thrawn's greatest traits in Rebels. Clearly, he'll have a different end game, as the Post ROTJ is completely different than the old EU but he's an interesting character nonetheless. |

This news will get Dag's blood moving. If there is a chance that Thrawn can be thrown into the mix, is there a chance Bane will be up next (and maybe possibly Revan)?

Maybe this is an avenue for Disney down the road after Ep. IX that they can put to movie - the story of the post RotJ days and the battles with Thrawn? Interesting stuff. |

I'll be surprised if his trajectory is the same. |

Not to mention that they can tap already popular and some of the better source material to give their way more aggressive SWU some real legs if they’re going to match the scope of MCU. It's wise, really, MCU pulls from decades of source material and punches it up with some reworking because at the core those storylines have already proven to be strong and received with wide appeal.

Maybe there was some copyright thing preventing his image from being used? |

My guess is that they decided not to mess with Revan because it might mess up future plans. Originally, Timothy Zahn wanted C'Boath to be a clone of Obi Wan but Lucas flat out denied him. I'd guess this is something similar. |

The Thrawn thing was news months ago. Did we not talk about it here?
