Star Wars Rebels Coming Fall 2014

[Deckard]

Is this actual promo stuff for this show or just random art prints?

 

[Darth Waller]

Star Wars has been posting these on Twitter all day, so only promotional at this point. I wouldn't be surprised if some of these end up being prints.

 

[Deckard]

No, I mean is this all linked to this show officially, or just random Star Wars art.

From TheForce.net:

Star Wars Rebels marks the first original Star Wars entertainment produced by Lucasfilm as part of The Walt Disney Company. This all-new animated series tells the never-before-seen story of new heroes that dare to stand up to the ever-growing might of the Galactic Empire in the days before the Rebel Alliance formed.

To celebrate the launch of the series, Lucasfilm has created a set of limited edition cards that represent the world of Star Wars Rebels, a time when the Empire rules the galaxy with an iron fist, and the loyalty of its citizens is entrenched through fear and deception.

This image is one of the six cards included in an exclusive mailing being sent to 2500 people around the world on February 5th.

These are original illustrations from Amy Beth Christenson, a member of the Lucasfilm Animation art department working on the series.

So those reflect content on the show then, that's cool to know that they will have all those OT troopers and Star Destroyers back. Already more promising than anything out of the PT.

Those prints are great. Would not mind owning a couple of them.

I like the propaganda motif they are going for. I just finished my series set of Clone Wars and although there were some misfires on the early episodes, I'm anxiously awaiting seeing what the CW team has drummed up for Rebels. Really hoping for an appearance by Wedge.

I still have no thoughts about this show yet.

But am bugged that the Inquisitor is a complete rip off of the Danzig Verotik comics character, of same name and look.

Danzig makes comics about those Utapau guys from the PT in generic Sith armor? Sounds cool.

While the world eagerly awaits Episode VII to open in theaters, we’re introducing Star Wars Rebels to television audiences this summer with a movie and a series of shorts on Disney Channel, followed by a continuing series on Disney XD. Our success in building a robust pipeline of original Star Wars content for various platforms will be an integral part of our long-term strategy to leverage the franchise across a variety of our businesses, from theme parks to consumer products.

Hope it's not as bad as the Clone Wars movie that was rushed out prior to that series debut…

It's a trap

Kinda saw that coming, a cross between a Jedi and Han. Not that that is a bad thing, just not surprising. Nice to meet one of the heroes, looking forward to more bits coming out.

Interesting...not bad.

Especially since the original Starkiller character had elements of what would later become Luke and Han.

 

[Kamandi]

This actually has some promise. I'll tune in.

Me too. I actually enjoyed the Clone Wars, especially the last 2 seasons so I'm looking forward to this.

Wow, looks much better than I expected. Might be too early to say this, but I think this is going to blow the Clone Wars cartoon out of the water. Gonna be interesting to see a Jedi main character voiced by Freddie Prinze Jr.

With the exception of FPJ voicing the lead,
