Just as an FYI Forces of Destiny starts on the Disney channel on Friday

Its a series that follows the woman of the Star Wars universe and stars a combination of voice actors from TCW and Rebels and actors from the movies.

So you'll see Ashley Ecstein, Catherine Tabor, Tiya Sincar and Vanessa Marshall repising Ashoka, Padme, Sabine and Hera.

You'll also see Lupita Lyong'o, Daisy Ridley, Felicity Jones, Mark Hamill and Kelly Marie Tran playing Maz, Rey, Jyn, Luke and Rose.

YESSS!


There were a couple of stories that I really wanted to see


1) What happened to Ashoka after she left the temple.


2) I would have loved to have seen a Rebel's story where Rex ran into Cody.

Very pleased to see Filoni getting the opportunity to continue to tell fantastic Star Wars stories.

...now could they please get on with it and cancel the Rian Johnson written trilogy. Please?

Its funny that Resistance has been given an official airing date in October and we haven't seen much in the way of teasers around it.

It's Comic-Con weekend, so we should get something for Resistance in the next couple of days, I hope.

Oh, this is glorious.

Also rumors of some new LEGO Star Clone Wars sets for next year. Makes more sense, now!

I'm just starting Rebels (literally watched the first 40 minute episode last night) so hopefully I'll have enough to hold me over until then.

Clone Wars was amazing. Might have to re-watch some of that too (I'll skip the boring arcs this time now that I know which ones they are).

Be a little patient with it, the first 3/4 of Rebels first season you'll be sitting there saying, man why am I watching a kids cartoon. Then things really kick up, the second season gets really good, the third season it matures, and the last season I loved every episode.


When I watched that Clone Wars trailer, I remember when I started the TCW series I just didn't like the animation style, but it became perfect as they darkened the environment.


People tend to forget the original clone wars cartoon which was also awesome





Full series

I wonder if that Mandalorian is Bo Katan?




This movie has to be taking place just before Palpatine is "Kidnapped" maybe we'll see the transition to the Empire for the Clone Troopers.


That would be the only way for me that they could finish the series.


With the Clone Troopers swapping their armor for Storm Trooper Whites.

Some more info: https://www.starwars.com/news/sdcc-2...wars-to-return

12 episodes on Disney's new streaming service. The new service is set to debut in late 2019, so the new episodes are still over a year away.

I had no idea that was on YouTube. I've seen parts of it but I'll have to watch it all.

Side note: gotta think the old TCW episodes will be off Netflix soon, no?

Good chance of it, its one TV series that I'm glad I bought. Once in a while its nice to rip through the series again.


There were some really good episodes in the first clone war series.


The one where Anakin faces Ventress for the first time. There was one where Anakin was exposed to his future as Vader.



It focused more on Jedi then the old Clone Soldiers, but that's what I liked about the Filoni series.


There was a book in the old legends EU, the Rise of Darth Vader which covered the change over to the Empire, what happened to the surviving Jedi.


The Jedi were heart broken when the Clone Troopers because their enemies and it hurt them to kill them when they became storm troopers.



The other great thing was how Vader went from a shattered man that was forced by Palpatine (Who's a major dick in this book, but the wheels were turning, he knew he had to complete Anakins recovery at his own Peril. There was a great chapter when Anakin was filled with self pity and loathing and Palpatine asked him why he kept on living, and Vader didn't know. Then Palpatine asked him if he was unhappy serving his master and he made Anakin realize that Palpatine was his path to power and when Palpatine was no more use he wouldn't need him anymore)



If you can find the book as a Star Wars fan its one of the best written books in the EU in my opinion. People talk about Vader being this pitiful creature that deserves sympathy, and in the beginning of the book you feel that way, but by the end you get the super powerful, fully ok with his choices Vader, and you stop feeling bad for him)

From the book


Quote:
Vader said nothing.


“Perhaps you’re not enjoying your new station in life, is that it?


Perhaps you tire already of executing my commands.” Sidious stared
at him. “Perhaps you think you’re better suited to occupy the throne
than I am. Is that it, Lord Vader? If so, then admit as much!”


Breathing deeply, Vader remained silent for a moment more. “I am
but an apprentice. You are the Master.”


“Interesting that you refrain from calling me your Master.”
Vader inclined his head to Sidious. “I meant nothing by it, my
Master.”


Sidious sneered. “Perhaps you wish you could strike me down, is
that it?”


“No, Master.”


“What stops you from doing so? Obi-Wan was once your Master, and
you were certainly prepared to kill him. Even if you failed.”


Vader clenched his right hand. “Obi-Wan did not understand the
power of the dark side.”


“And you do?”


“No, Master. Not yet. Not fully.”


“And that’s why you don’t try to strike me down? Because I possess
powers you lack?” Sidious lifted his arms, hands deployed like claws,
as if to summon and hurl Sith lightning. “Because you know that I
could easily overwhelm the delicate electrical systems of your suit.”


Vader stood his ground. “I don’t fear death, Master.”


Sidious grinned maliciously. “Then why go on living, my young
apprentice?”


Vader looked down at him. “To learn to become more powerful.”


Sidious lowered his hands. “Then I ask you one final time, Lord
Vader. Why not strike me down?”


“Because you are my path to power, Master,” Vader said. “Because I
need you.”


Sidious narrowed his eyes and nodded. “Just like I needed my
Master—for a time.”


“Yes, Master,” Vader said finally. “For a time.”


“Good. Very good.” Sidious smiled in satisfaction. “And now you are
ready to release your anger.

New update on Resistance


http://www.theforce.net/story/front/...ews_181445.asp


Premiere on Oct 13th with a full season of 22 episodes


First episode synopsis


Quote:
"Resistance fighter Poe Dameron tasks young pilot Kazuda "Kaz" Xiono with spying on the First Order. At the time, little was known about the secret organization and its strength.

In order to fulfill his mission, Kaz travels to the space station Colossus which is being used by many ships to refuel and do repairs. However, there are also dangerous races taking place there. After Kaz bragged with his piloting skills at his arrival there, he is soon drawn into one of the races..."
