Star Wars Rebels Coming Fall 2014

I do think a better period would've been between 4 and 5.

Or they could have set it between Episodes VI and VII to showcase all the new padawans Luke starts to train and would make for a nice segue into the upcoming trilogy.

No one else thinks that between Episodes III and IV is less than ideal to set a series based on rebels?

Stealing the Death Star plans was literally stated as the Alliance's very first victory against the Empire at the beginning of ANH. They should have set it between ANH and ESB like the Holiday Special cartoon. Plus having it between ROTS and ANH makes me think there's going to be a lot of PTisms that will be intertwined with the cool McQuarrie stuff.

Mark my words: this series will feel a LOT more like Episode IV than the prequels. The end of the Clone Wars was already feeling a lot like A New Hope. As for the opening crawl though, you have an extremely good point. I'm curious how they're going to deal with this too.

Revised ANH opening on the next blu-ray special edition:

"It is a period of civil war. Rebel spaceships, striking from a hidden base, have won their 187th victory against the evil Galactic Empire."

Or maybe they'll rationalize that the opening crawl was only talking about those specific rebel spaceships. OTHER rebel spaceships have been kicking *** against the Empire for years.

I was thinking of how they could rationalize it too. Like maybe they've won a bunch of battles, but nothing is as victorious as stealing the Death Star plans!

That's really no different than Anakin & Obi-Wan facing off against Dooku 721 times between EP2 & EP3.

If they're setting a show in between films there is just going to be contrived crap like that. I think they've made that pretty clear by now. It's also why I'll never consider anything other than the movies themselves canon. Too many things just don't fit.

to Kick-off for the Rebellion would be Star Killers story.. I mean the game was the actual birth of the Rebellion.. including the symbol !!!

and it was confirm as legit by Lucas as well...

Star Wars Rebels Logo, Art and Details Revealed!

"Star Wars Rebels" Executive Producer Dave Filoni pulled back the curtain on Lucasfilm's upcoming animated series for Star Wars Celebration Europe attendees today, discussing the huge influence of original "Star Wars" concept artist Ralph McQuarrie on the look and feel of the show, and revealing the series' unique logo and select designs.

Filoni talked at length about the use of McQuarrie art as a springboard for the series, showcasing many works from the original trilogy, including landscapes and characters, and detailing how they inform the visual identity of "Star Wars Rebels."

For "Star Wars Rebels," fans were given their first look at the Ghost (see below), which will be the main character's ship and play a big part in the series, as well as a computer rendering of a very McQuarrie-esque Stormtrooper, the interior of a Star Destroyer, and more. The show's logo, a minimalist yet powerful design, is notable for its orange and black color scheme, which recalls the flight suit colors of Rebel pilots in the original Star Wars trilogy.

While unable to attend in person, Executive Producers Simon Kinberg and Greg Weisman shared their excitement for the series in a video message recorded specifically for Celebration attendees.

The series is set between the events of Episode III and IV -- an era spanning almost two decades never-before explored on-screen. It takes place in a time where the Empire is securing its grip on the galaxy and hunting down the last of the Jedi Knights as a fledgling rebellion against the Empire is taking shape.

"Star Wars Rebels" will be produced by Lucasfilm Animation, featuring many of the key talents that made "Star Wars: The Clone Wars." It is scheduled to premiere in fall 2014 as a one-hour special telecast on Disney Channel, and will be followed by a series on Disney XD channels around the world.

It looks like if you liked the CW, you'll feel right at home with these shows. I can already see Filoni putting Commander Wolffe in there somewhere

Their commercials made Tron Uprising look like a kids show....when it clearly wasn't. Don't judge the commercials to sell **** to children.
