Star Wars: Rebels

[eldargal]

So, when Star Wars The Clone Wars was cancelled we were told it was because Disney wanted to take the SW animated universe in a different direction and we've known for months now that this meant the new show Star Wars: Rebels. Well there is finally some real news about the show (http://starwars.com/news/nycc-2013-meet-the-inquisitor-the-new-face-of-evil-in-star-wars-rebels.html) (well for two months since NYCC but I only just found it now so it doesn't count...):

One of the main villains is an 'Inquisitor'

And according to an interview in Star Wars Insider 146 two of the main leads will be women and they aim to have the villains being similarly diverse, so yay.

Looks interesting!

why is he wearing a Kratos balaclava?

James Vega aka Freddy Prinz Junior or something is voicing a main character in Star Wars Rebels (http://www.toplessrobot.com/2014/02/freddie_prinze_jrs_jedi_character_in_star_wars_reb .php)

... which I have to say I'm excited about. I thought he did a surprisingly awesome job as James Vega in Mass Effect 3 and Paragon Lost.

[Aenir]

why so much rebel centric stuff?

Id love to see a show about the imperial POV and its ground forces or pilots!

[eldargal]

Me too, hoping this show actually shows a bit of both sides but meh. If it's as good as Clone Wars I'll still watch it.

[daboarder]

Man he got OLD!

[lattd]

The guy in the picture isn't he the embodiment of sith from the clone wars who turns into a giant bat?

[gwensdad]

As a side note, they announced today that all of Clone Wars would be on Netflix on March 7th-including the never aired 13 episode 6th season meant to wrap things up.

[Mr Mystery]

Didn't think they'd made a 6th Season??

[eldargal]

They made some episodes before the show was cancelled.

[Mr Mystery]

So I see!

Well, here's to seeing them out on Bluray at some point!

Non sexualised twi'lek ftw! also of the six cast one is a droid, so genderless and two are women. 40% ratio is pretty damn good.

you know how the 'new posts' bit on the right hand side of the forum shows different posts depending on whether or not you are in a thread, or just in a forum section? as I clicked this link I read
"*squee* non sexualised angels struggle against cruel eldar" which confused me greatly until I realised that half way through reading the page had loaded and changed the post...

Rebels looks pretty sweet so far. Made me dust off The Old Republic. >.>

[eldargal]

I watched the other vids, I have to say Chopper looks like a fun droid. Looking forward to the show.

[eldargal]

They all look like pretty decent characters so far.

She reminds me a little bit of my last Star Wars RPG character, except female not male like mine was.
