I hope Obi-wan stays in Holocron form though, I really don't want him to show up and do anything...

Rex probably at least in a cameo, but I'd rather see Ahsoka as her own thing, like maybe in season 3 or 4 after the show's had time to burn in all the characters and kill off anyone it needs to.

I agree. We know we're already going to see threepio and artoo, but I hope that's the extent of it.

Considering we see Artoo and Threepio, who were left with Bail Organa, I wonder if we will see a cameo appearance of 14 year old Leia somewhere.

It's fan art, so don't get your robes in a bunch....

We know Leia was involved with the Rebellion well before the events of A New Hope, so Leia showing up is certainly not out of the realm of possibility.

Did he say there were 10,000 Jedi in the Clone Wars in that interview?

Yes, the number of stories available to leverage has become innumerable.

Did he say there were 10,000 Jedi in the Clone Wars in that interview?

Now I wonder if that is 10,000 actively fighting or Jedi total.

10,000 for a galactic government with millions of inhabited worlds seems pretty reasonable to me. In fact the Jedi would be run ragged imo. Look how many absolute goat rodeos we have going on down here on Earth alone right now that could use Jedi intervention, multiple Earth times millions.

That is the total number of full Jedi, while not all of them are "fighters" I think most-of-them-if not-all have at least basic lightsaber skills as in all marines have basic rifle skills so they are all formidable foes and leaders. Remember that out of the thousands of civilisations in the galaxy that all have their own traditions with the force, so millions of force adepts all across the galaxy, only 10000 of them were powerful enough with the force and had the discipline to become Jedi. Then there are the corps agri, edu and all that other EU stuff, but even if you discount that, then out of the trillions of sentients in the galaxy if even 0.01% are Force Sensitive, then to only get 10000 that are that good, yer, Jedi are scary.

It does bring up the question of what the finalized results of not getting selected for padawan are going to be. The Corps idea the EU brought up is functional, but if Big G thinks there's only 10,000 "Jedi" that suggests the corps, if it exists, may be pretty small too.

Brings O66 into perspective though.

I see Order 66 being a lot more feasible now though. 10,000 beings is about the size of a medium size college campus in the US. It wouldn't be that hard to exectue, especially if most were at the Temple or surrounded by clone troopers at the front.

Also, do you mean if they wash out as a Padawan? That... Is a good question because it'd kinda hard to go home again if you were taken as a toddler. Not fimilar at all with the EU stuff at all (Jedi's don't really interest me, so I don't read or play that stuff often), but it'd be interesting to see what the 'canon' result would be.

Well the Corps is EU (well Legends now) so I don't know if we'll see anything like it. From what I understood if you reach Padawan you're pretty much all the way, it's getting from Youngling to Padawan that's the real test. At the time of their trials most young aspiring knights are so well trained and capable, I mean look at what Ashoka, Anakin and Obi-Wan went through (Yes, I know they are special)?

I see the trials are more of a ceremonial thing, which makes sense since wasting that much time and effort on a 1-on- tutoring only to have the candidate wash out after years of training.

Though it also makes complaints about there being too many survivors of Order 66 in the EU absurd. You could get up to around four or five times the number of Jedi surviving Order 66 as we saw in the EU and the Order would still be effectively destroyed by any reasonable standards. (If the 10,000 number was correct 5 times the number of confirmed survivors would mean around 5 percent of the order survived the initial attacks. But I always thought it was 20,000 which would make it about 2.5 percent. In either case I don't see how a less then 10 percent survival rate and that's only survivors of the first strikes against them not of the purge as a whole, doesn't count as the order being effectively destroyed.

Yeah, even with Jedi X popping up on one corner of the galaxy and Jedi Y showing up in another, all the Legends Rebellion-Era Jedi in are a drop in the bucket.

So I was in a bookstore and saw that they have a visual guide to the Rebels cartoon out if you like. Just thought you guys would like to know.

Dang 2 months out and already there's a visual guide...

Makes me wonder if we'll see any AoR or EotE Rebels supps piggybacking that...

More importantly x-wing... the imperials need a large ship and the gozanti is perfect.

True dat.

Though I hate citing Wookiepedia, it lists the number of Legends EU survivors at 59 as of BoY1. A quick tour around the seedy underbelly of the interwebz shows the lists collected to be between that figure and 109. By that figure, it means the number of survivors is at most 1%. I'd say that was a pretty effective purge - and, in all honesty, with numbers that small it would make hiding in the galaxy fairly easy considering Obi-Wan's action in RotS. If they were scattered throughout the universe already, and hadn't been able to make it back to Coruscant, it was up to their clone troopers to execute them. For those on deep cover assignments, in the midst of training missions (for younger padawans) they were already fairly off the grid, so the head start on their pursuers would be invaluable.

All in all, the personality of a Jedi would be one that would lend itself to causing as little stir as possible, whilst still using the Force as needed, so I'm pretty ok with them using the "Ex-Jedi" shtick in Rebels.

Since we're only a couple of months away from the premiere, you may not want to watch this one - but the first 7 minutes of Rebels dropped today:

I'd be very happy if Disney keeps its kid's show out of my RPG, thanks.

I don't want the FFG SW content to be decided by whatever the marketing division is pushing this year.

I've no objection to any elements of the EU or the prequels or whatever being included in the game - Sons of Fortune did Centrepoint, and Beyond the Rim had call-backs to the prequels. As long as it's in line with the quality and feel of the rest of the RPG, I don't mind.

But I really like that this system isn't trying to provide us with 'official stats' for movie characters. Those who want that can always make that stuff up themselves.

So its official, ISD can go atmo now. Well, that will make things intresting. Just think of playing as the rebels in AoR and one of those shows up for to help the Stormtroopers with CAS.

And now, who has analyzed the action and dice rolls? My.fist was Zebs swing at Ezra, fail. Shot the repulsor crate, advantage,.etc...
