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.



Bit more detail:

Star Wars Rebels, a one-hour animated pilot already in production at Lucasfilm, is scheduled to premiere in Fall 2014 on the Disney Channel before the new brand leaps to Disney XD for the ongoing series, according to Lucasfilm sources.

The series will mine material from the 19 years that follow Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and precede the Episode IV: A New Hope. In other words, using the life of the Skywalker twins as a measure, the series will be active in the story years that come after their separation as newborns and before their (unwitting) reunion on the prison level of the Death Star.

No word on whether the show will feature Darth Vader (who would be in the Empire’s power consolidation years and earning his reputation) or even pull in a character like Han Solo, the smuggler and cynic who becomes an unlikely freedom fighter when he opts to stand with his friends against cosmic odds. The title of the show is vaguely phrased in a way that any rebel — even a Boba Fett or Ahsoka Tano might qualify as a title character merely by walking an outsider’s path.

The series has three executive producers: Dave Filoni, the point man on The Clone Wars animated series that launched in 2008; screenwriter and producer Simon Kinberg, who has a flair for tonal rewiring and energizing familiar brands with new edge (e.g.: X-Men: First Class, Sherlock Holmes); and Greg Weisman, whose credits include well-regarded work on Young Justice and The Spectacular Spider-Man.

It would be cool if Ezra killed the Inquisitor or something. I don't like him as a character, and where the **** was he in the movies if he survived the pre ANH era? Nope, off that goofy bald sumbitch.

Plus Ezra's character should have some emotional turmoil/dubious nature to him. Make him a bit of a loose cannon even moreso. The anti-Luke.

Well, they don't need to do it immediately. This takes place five years before ANH and in a different part of the galaxy.

I've always thought there was much more happening in the Star Wars galaxy than what was shown in the OT. Rebels is supposed to tie in with Episode VII (and beyond) so it's difficult to predict who survives and who doesn't until we've seen the next trilogy.

Luke was a loose cannon. He left Dagobah to follow a vision that he couldn't understand and didn't finish his training with Yoda. Even though he survived the Battle of Endor, he sure didn't seem like a fully fledged Jedi to me.

What I find really interesting is that Ezra is far more powerful than Luke and became that way in a very short time. Kanan also appears to be far more powerful than Obi Wan in the OT, although I suppose he hid his powers for the greater good. But Obi Wan or even Anikan never displayed power like Ezra and Kanan.

But I sure hope that Obi Wan displays some wicked powers in the spinoffs or it just won't make any sense.

Looks like there IS a fledgling Rebellion going on that we haven't heard about. I counted three Corellian Corvettes toward the end of that trailer. Fulcrum swooping in to save the day?

Well, Vader seemed to think he was a Jedi on Endor pre battle after inspecting the shiny new green lightsaber....

I always thought Vader was taunting Luke. But what we've learned about Jedi training through the prequels, The Clone Wars and now Rebels leads me to believe that Luke wasn't a full Jedi, but maybe that's just me.

I think the perception of what a Jedi is and can do has changed a lot since 1983.

Hell, could do some crazy stuff as Kyle Katarn 20 years ago and it's only gotten crazier.

I may have mentioned this earlier but I think it's imperative that the Jedi appear to be super heroes because DC and Marvel have so upped the ante that it's what the market demands.

I was eleven when A New Hope came out and fourteen when The Empire Strikes Back was released. Based on Ben Kenobi's speech in his home and the teachings of Yoda (not to mention Darth Vader's power), I expected to see the Jedi with superhuman powers. I mean, they're connected to The Force so they should have superhuman powers.

Yet in the prequels, the Jedi's power was lame. The whole "passive" nature, especially that of Samuel L. Jackson's character (who was totally miscast, IMO) was off-putting.

At least Kanan has passion, as does Ezra. The whole "sleepy" Jedi thing is boring.

Mostly they were limited by special effects, naturally.

Seeing Luke flip off the skiff plank o'er the pit of Carkoon is still one of the coolest thing I've ever seen, though. Wonderful example of what you can do with a trampoline and some editing.

I get it in the OT but the prequels?

I think most people were under the impression that the Jedi were extremely wise and powerful but the prequels showed them as weak and dumb.

Thanks, George.

It's pretty interesting actually because in the Clone Wars cartoon, they are much more powerful. And especially in Genndy Tartakovsky Clone Wars miniseries.

One of these days, I'll get to it.

I kind of remember the early Genndy series but really couldn't get past the animation. The later Clone Wars seemed much better.

Tartakovsky was traditional animation. If you like that sort of thing it was amazing.

I agree that artistically, it was super cool.

But I greatly prefer the animation of the Clone Wars and especially Rebels, because it doesn't take me out of the experience.

The story of the Tartakovsky series is so good, you won't even notice it.
