Isn't th inquisitors ship a tie advanced? That was like the best thing I saw about the show in regards to this game!

No, it's definitely not an advanced, it looks more like a fighter/advanced mix.

In case you haven't seen the clip, or the Youtube link, for it yet...

I believe there are THREE GOZANTIS here!!!!

I hate what they did with the Star Destoryer though. It just looks so goofy with the overly long bridge neck.

Not going to keep me from tuning in, but it does look rather silly.

WANT... three.

Yep here's another view!

The TIE fighters look strange as well... too wide. I suppose it's just part of the cartoony CGI effect... but I hope they scale proportions back to normal if they ever take stuff from this show and put it into the game.

Yeah. My dread, and I have seen some people on here assume it is the case, is that someone in authority sees the artistic style used in this and assumes these are different ships and so we end up with a different class of TIE fighter and star destroyer added to canon just to cash in on a cartoon art style.

The style is taken from the original concept art. It's why the star destroyers look so tall. I bet we get the x-wings that look like that ep. 7 version as well at some point.

The style is a little jarring at first, I don't think it's fair to assume it's them trying to be cartoony.

Best description I could come up with.

The point is that it is NOT depicting different models or designs of particular ships, just that they are being drawn in a stylized way. Those are still basic, bog standard TIE fighters and (presumably Victory class) Star Destroyers.

TIE Fighters in the atmosphere. Ground units expansion confirmed.

Man Disney blatantly dropped Aladdin in as major character. One trailer makes me feel excited for the show and the next disappoints.

The beginning of the Rebellion is well documented. This is just Disney's revisionist history, clearly propaganda aimed at Rebel sympathizers.

The only Clone Wars materials that are not garbage are the two movies done by the Samurai Jack team. Period.

So we still stuck with clowns in stormtrooper uniforms and comically evil puppy kicking imperials. :/

This. It's VERY McQuarrie, and I LOVE that.

I had no idea Aladdin turned into a Jedi, fought an inquisitor and had a Jedi Master aboard a space ship.

I really had no idea.

Wait, that might be- MIGHT BE because it isn't Aladdin.

And where is his magic carpet and giant blue genie? The only similarity is that they are both street urchins/thiefs.

Soon we will have that Gonzie!

I hope not. I don't want to have anything related to that show in X-wing.

Why? It's set at the beginning of the rebellion era. And the Gonzanti cruiser was around before the show, so that's like saying that you don't want about 70% of the pilots that we currently have either.

No, just any Rebels garbage. But you are right about the Gozanti being around before the show came out, so I could stomach it. Just not the Ghost or the Inquisitor's TIE.

A) you're aptly named.

Thank you! However I am assuming that you are thinking about the real world Revanchists and not The Revanchist from Star Wars KotOR after whom my username is based.

B) have you actually seen the show to know it is "garbage"?

You're right, I haven't. No one else has seen the show to know if it will be great either. Perhaps I am a bit too harsh; but with Disney killing 35 years of EU I will probably treat everything they produce that is Star Wars as "garbage." Probably extreme and/or crazy, but that's the way I feel: They do something I don't like, I have the right to boycott them.

The Clone Wars show was amazing utter garbage except for a few episodes here and there.

Fixed lol. No honestly, I hated that show, especially Dave Filoni and Ashoka Tano. The show was boring, kiddie, repetitive and unimaginative. It also completely wrecked the planet of Mandalore (Karen Traviss' version is superior IMO). The bad guys were two-dimensional, the heroes always won, and the list goes on and on.

So I don't have any hopes for Star Wars media past the Disney buyout. However, there are people who believe that this will revive the franchise and make it better than ever before. Everyone will have their own opinion that they are entitled to, so I won't argue the point. After all, this is the internet, where logic and reason always triumph, right??

"BUT DIDNEY RUIN STUR WURZ"

1: I would have done the same thing, and by now everybody on this forum should know that I love the Expanded Universe. It's done so much for Star Wars. That said? It beat the ever loving **** out of it too. Do you know about the alien with breathable body fluids that han leia and I think somebody else had to I think, get absorbed into to kill? That's not very star wars, that's very f**king stupid and I'm glad stuff like that ain't even CLOSE to canon anymore. I'll sacrifice my Kyles, my Revans and my Moldy Crows for that.

2: You will never, ever, under the drowning-out-anger cries of love and adoration for everything star wars, EVER be heard. Your boycotts will begin and end on facebook, fueled only by irate people with nothing but bitterness in their hearts when they should give something a chance, for they have no agency over what happens next in Star Wars- not the worldwide phenomenon we all know and love.

Go ahead. Boycott. As far as the CEOs, writers, artists are concerned, no matter how many thousands of you there are, compared to the millions otherwise?

You will be alone in doing so, forever.

Clone wars was kiddie? It was probably the most adult "kids" show there ever was then!

Besides all the general deaths on the show, you had executions, sabers through the chest, decapitations, kids being killed, etc.

Don't get me wrong, there were certainly lighter moments and episodes and characters, but it was overall far from just being a "kids" show.

I think Rebels is likely to be more kid friendly than the Clone Wars.

I saw several deaths in those first 7 minutes. It's going to be quite the same as Clone Wars. Disney gets pretty dark sometimes, dude.

Let's take a very recent example: Frozen. Now before you stop me, just hear me out.

Hans was going to freakin' decapitate Elsa, and you know what Elsa did? She accepted it. Not only that, Friggin' Anna was left to die in a room, alone. That's not very sunshine and rainbows. As if that wasn't bad enough, Anna was nearly killed by her sister- whom she continued to love dearly, twice. And also Elsa froze the entire town, port was frozen. What would have occurred if the situation was never resolved?

Starvation, potential hypothermia, freezing to death otherwise... You know. The usual.

And that's just one film.

Disney also gave us Gargoyles. Not exactly something I would call juvenile.

So far, I'm liking what I'm seeing. Looks like some good Star Wars fun (ie, not grimdark). Filoni has stated that is isn't about the formation of the Rebel Alliance, but merely a independent rebel cell.

As for the EU, we have to wait for more "canon" material to come out before we can make claims about what still exists and what not. About the only thing we can safely say is no longer part of the universe is the NJO and beyond (good riddance Legacy of the Force and Fate of the Jedi). I expect a lot of the in-between stuff can still be worked in.

I'm guessing that the Expanded Universe needed to die simply from the sheer number of lawyers and contracts that would have been needed to secure everything with Disney as a new owner, and with new movies in the works. Imagine if something was going to go in one of the movies that "Author A" had created, "Author B" had updated and tweaked, and then "Author C" tweaked once more - who gets what percentage of royalties from it? Because that's what it all comes down to in the end. Money!

To that end, I'm loving what I'm seeing with Rebels. I'm going in bright-eyed and bushy tailed, fan boy *SQUEE* about it. Just like I did when I was a little kid when Star Wars Episode 4 first came out waaaaaaaaaaaaay back in 1977. It's a new start, for a new generation of fans. Bring it on. I want this franchise to be going strong in another 40 years from now.

Good stories, the ones that last are always tweaked and re-invented by each successive generation of fans. Robin Hood. King Arthur and his Knights. Even Lord of the Rings with Peter Jackson's film version of it. Each new century those ancient stories have been with us have brought new plot threads, new characters get added, unpopular characters get dropped. It's the way of story-telling. To think anything has ONE TRUE FORM when it comes to the ancient art of story telling is fairly naive and foolish.

Yes, how dare Disney take a franchise from an abusive father figure and hand it to a generation of creators who grew up on and adore Star Wars and want to do nothing but make it great again.

Anything worth having from the EU (of which there is very little) will be pulled back into the canon and the rest will thankfully be flushed out with the garbage.

I agree with all of this. It is what it is, and at least most of it is cool IMO.

Rebels has heart and cool stylized imagery and that is a hell of a lot in the fake-ass-looking CGI flicks era.
