Extended Trailer for Animated Star Wars: Rebels

By Slugrage, in X-Wing

DisneyXD was involved in Tron:Uprsing

Couldn't get I to tron:uprising. Thought the premise was just lame (and a bad copy of batman beyond) and that the took out all the stuff that made tron interesting and original just so they could make the setting conform more closely with the real world.

I does have bad plots. But some of its plots rival the OT in quality. The 1st season was especially rough though (like first season of ST:TNG bad), but it does drastically improve from there.

All that said, I do have high hopes for Rebels. Set in the right time frame, with all the classic ships available to use. I'm even hoping to see a couple characters from clone wars whose arcs were a bit incomplete. Much more optimistic about this than I am about anything JJ is involved in.

Hey are they rocking in the Ghtroc 720? And then that carrier...I recall that battle-carrier cruiser with the TIEs, now I'd like to see these ships in X-Wing.

Didn'tlesigns? Yeah on ships maybe, but all the people were doe-eyed block heads! Every character in that show looked like a doll!

And the voice acting and script writing was awful. I've been trying to get through the show but the plots are so bad it is painful to watch.

I'm still stuck in season one. I can't bring myself to finish watching the pacifist irish lemurs episode. If I knew there was a light at the end of the tunnel I might finish it but given what I've seen so far I'm dubious.

Season 4-6 (The Lost Missions) was great. I found the first couple of seasons to be just kind of "meh" and season 3 was "ok" but once season 4 hit I found myself gradually watching more and more. Every season has a few episodes that are tough to stomach (episodes centering on C3PO and Artoo, anything with Jar Jar, and a couple of Padme episodes).

In the end, I'm glad I stuck with it. Tied up some loose ends and gave me tons of gaming ideas.

What are the officially sanctioned colours for mandalorian armour? I abhor the pink everything for girls that our culture is doing but the mandalorian outfit is better then most female outfits in comics these days and much better then star wars has done lately. Her midriff is covered, no clevage, she's not wearing high heeled boots, no breast implants, and not wearing a short skirt. It's a miracle.

First off I'm rather excited for the show, if I remain so after the first episode is completely up to the content. As to the "cartoonification" of the art style look at any Star Wars animated show be it Droids, Ewoks, Clone Wars, or the Clone Wars. And for those that worry about the astromech he is a cobbled together mess so he is really not indicative to how other Astromechs will look in the show, I figure they will look similar to how they did in Clone wars.

And on the plus side they already have Billy D Williams to come back and do voice work for Lando and will most likely get Mark Hammil to come back to voice some character, probably not Luke since I think this series takes place like five years before episode four. And from the latest trailer we see Obi-Wan so I think we will most likely see some characters from Clone Wars like Cad Bane, Ashoka, and Ventriss. And if it makes it any better from the character video the Inquisitor isn't Vader's apprentice either.

I like her too!

[remind everyone that we're working with Disney here]

[remind everyone that Disney IS Star Wars now here]

[remind everyone that Disney isn't always bad here]

[in era comment here]

[lack of a princess is refreshing here]

[hope for the advanced after all due to inquisitor piloting one here]

At the end of the day it is Star Wars, and it fits in more ways than it diverges. If you can't get behind that, I can't help you.

Forgot something:

Terrorist Propoganda! Avert thine eyes... Call an inquisitor!

Sabine is pretty freakin' cool.

Not many Star Wars characters that have a thing for art, be it by expression or just something they do. Also, I fail to understand some people's mindset that all Mandalorians must do nothing but take fighting and stuff seriously to their core and do nothing else.

It's refreshing to see a different mandalorian, specifically because Mandalorians are supposed to be all-inclusive so long as you subscribe to their beliefs and are a suitable-enough badass.

Pretty sure Sabine lives up to both.

But Mandalorians are basically exactly the same as Ninjas.

The Three Facts of Ninjas should apply equally to Mandalorians.

Facts:
1. Ninjas are mammals.
2. Ninjas fight ALL the time.
3. The purpose of the ninja is to flip out and kill people.

Actually Mandalorians are much closer to Spartans. In fact I'm pretty sure I've read multiple places that Mandalorian culture is pretty heavily based on Ancient Sparta.

I hate to agree with Captain Lackwit, but I think you're right. Sabine looks pretty **** awesome to me. Just based of the limited character sketches I've seen, I think she's my favorite character. I don't think my midichlorian testosterone count was diminished for saying that either.

Nor do I think it was unmanly of me to color the sides of my movement templates and sundry tokens a hot pink. Given the gender-identity-complex meta, I think it makes my tokens and markers rather unique and easier to identify, and I think they look rather badass.

Aw, you hate to agree with me? What'd I ever do to you? :P

But seriously, I like all the characters. They all seem pretty interesting- though I will say, I'm least interested in Ezra. For obvious reasons, one of which is, "Ooh. Force sensitive. *Waggles fingers*".

Bugh. The idea of force sensitivity bothers me.

"The Force is what gives a Jedi his power. It's an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us it penetrates us, it binds the galaxy together."

Given that, shouldn't anyone be able to learn, and not just special snowflakes? Never ever liked that idea. But that's neither here nor there, aye? Set in stone and I gotta' deal with it.

After looking over all the characters, I really think Sabine is going to be my favorite. Artistic and deadly? *Swoon*

Hope it is better than the Clone Wars. I'm afraid it might go too cartooney and start with all the puns. I really wanted to kill a kitten every time Obi-wan said the word "civilized."

Bro.

Bro.

I hear ya' but she's like 15.

And a cartoon.

And a cartoon.

True, but still.

I don't think anyone has a problem with pink being a non-canon colour, we're just annoyed by the same old-fashioned gender colour-coding that you don't like either.

The rest of your points are good, but it's still a shame that they couldn't go all the way and give her a paint job without any of the dumb connotations that come with pink battle armour.

Incidentally, my incoming acrylic range rulers are cut in fluorescent pink. It's one of my favourite colours when it's not being lazily applied to visually distinguish female from male.

At first I'd been looking forward to this, but the stubby TIE Fighter wings and stubby astromech droid look ridiculous to me. Disney has Disney-fied Star Wars, much as I'd feared.

If they'd stayed true to the classic Star Wars designs, I'd be totally into this, But now that I see what they've done with it, this looks like a Play SchoolTM version of Star Wars.

Dang it, I'm a grown man, not a toddler!

Complaining about a cartoon aimed at kids on the Internet? Could have fooled me.

Oh, they did stay true to the classic Star Wars designs, that's what the concept art for Star Wars looked like. I don't get the assumption that just because it's different than the movies were that means it's aimed at toddlers. I would never expect it to be directly marketed to middle aged men, but considering how they've marketed it so far, that age bracket isn't forgotten.

Disney owns Marvel and they seem to be doing fine. Most of the cartoons I loved as a kid were Disney, most of which I can still watch. Ducktales, Rescue Rangers, Darkwing, Gargoyles, etc. the crew working on this all seem to be massive fans of the original stuff, so no concerns there.

I guess I don't understand why Disney is bad, it's certainly better than it being owned and controlled by Lucas.

So, it's okay for you to like pink, just not a fictional character? The pilot is green with baggy drab brown and grey clothes, how is that a stereotypical girl in tv motif? Nothing about the preview material seems to indicate she's a stereotypical female princess type that needs saving. I can honestly see how an artist would come up with pink being a thing a 'punk' like her would be in to. It's bright, stands out and is the antithesis of the black and white that makes up the Empire.
