Dynaman Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 . . . . Except Hasbro has the toy rights for Star Wars. Disney will get them moving. As for the show itself, the political bits in Clone Wars would not have been a problem, IF it had not been such inane drivel. "War is Bad", yes, everyone knows that - losing a war is worse. Quote
mechaninac Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 I don't want another kiddie show <In evil Mickey Mouse voice> You'll get what we give you, and you'll like it... Ha, Ha!... Quote

Did you see the convention footage where the VA for Winnie the Pooh was doing Darth Vader's dialog as Winnie the Pooh, it was great "Where are those plans!" Quote
troyness Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 If Vader is in it, I hope the events take place after Vader has slain all the jedi and leave that for a live action TV series. Quote
azrael Posted October 8, 2013 Author Posted October 8, 2013 I guess that's a prep for NYCC this coming weekend. Speaking of which, Star Wars: Rebels will have its own dedicated panel on Oct. 12, 2:45 pm - 3:45 pm, Empire Stage 1-E. I'm sure they'll show more at the panel. Quote
skullmilitia Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 As long as Lucas is hands off it outta be good! ( and the next person to tell me Lucas knows the SW like no one else, is gonna get a five finger death punch, The guy has said repeatedly that he doesn't know everything about what was in his movies. The guy is there for the Money, not your fat guy in a little boba fett suit cosplay conventions!) Quote
Lobizon Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 'The Inquisitor' and new details and promo video released Quote
Roy Focker Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 I bet you he's one of those total jackasses who keeps their cowboy hats on in movie theaters. Quote
Hikuro Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 I bet you he's one of those total jackasses who keeps their cowboy hats on in movie theaters. you mean like how there's some jackasses who keep their cowboy hats on during sex? Entirely possible. Quote
skullmilitia Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 Yeah Dave looks like a D with that hat on, someone tell him it's just not The right look for him. Quote
Kelsain Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 I like the stylization on the storm troopers. Quote
JetJockey Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 They really don't want to give up on the Darth Maul inspired characters. And continuing to lessen the impact of Darth Vader. Unless the new movies are really special, I'm just about finished getting Star Wars stuff. Sticking to the classic OT DVDs and the few figures that come out from the series that were good. Like that Kotobukiya Mara figure. Quote
jvmacross Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 Why does Vader need this inquisitor "middleman" to hunt down the remaining Jedi? Maybe the emperor has Vader too bogged down with imperial paperwork to allow him to do the job himself? Quote
Greyryder Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 Is that hand guard on that lightsaber? HERESY! Quote
skullmilitia Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 What happened to only one master, one apprentice? And I agree, is Vader really that ineffective that he can't handle The remaining Jedi? Seems like there's a gradual evolution of reducing Vaders Evil To nothing more than a mere thug of the Emperor. A high fall from the master of evil from the OT. Quote

Seems like there's a gradual evolution of reducing Vaders Evil To nothing more than a mere thug of the Emperor. A high fall from the master of evil from the OT. Nah man... He was always just a thug. You just built him up to be more in your head when you were a kid. Watch A new hope again... Tarkin is "holding vader's leash." Vader was never #2 in the organization. Quote
Mommar Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 (edited) Nah man... He was always just a thug. You just built him up to be more in your head when you were a kid. Watch A new hope again... Tarkin is "holding vader's leash." Vader was never #2 in the organization. That's only sort of the case in the original though. In Empire and Return it's rather clear EVERYBODY but the Emperor answers to Vader. And even still, Vader was still an imposing enforcer no matter who he was working for. Now, he's just kind of this sad middle-man for other Darth Maul knock-offs. Edited October 14, 2013 by Mommar Quote

Probably..."It wasn't Anakin that slaughtered younglings...it was Vader!".......In a galactic court it is commonly referred to as "playing the Sith card"! I wouldn't be surprised if they screw with the OT a bit more before all is said and done......then the hate can finally be directed at someone else besides Lucas.... Quote
Negotiator Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 Wait... Is this going to be cg or 2d animated? Quote

I don't know when this whole reducing Vader thing started. But all it does is make the originals far superior to the prequels or any of these new spinoff series. Vader was a scary guy in the OT. I hope the upcoming movies ignore all this new stuff but since George Lucas was actually writing/plotting this new series before the sell and Abrams is directing, I'm not expecting anything close to the OT in terms of greatness.

Dynaman Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 > I don't know when this whole reducing Vader thing started. It started with Return (despite what others have said). Vader's downfall started with this line "The Emperor is not as forgiving as I am". After that Vader was a wimp. Quote

Vader's downfall started with this line "The Emperor is not as forgiving as I am". After that Vader was a wimp. I don't believe so. Since you only ever once, in Empire, saw Vader become pissed and NOT choke somebody to death it really only highlighted that the Emperor was going to kill anyone he wasn't happy with. Quote
Zor Primus Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 > I don't know when this whole reducing Vader thing started. It started with Return (despite what others have said). Vader's downfall started with this line "The Emperor is not as forgiving as I am". After that Vader was a wimp. Yeah I think that statement had double meaning...sorta like watch your six, you think Force chokes are bad, wait till you taste the Blue Lightning. As for this new villain...we cannot really say what his role is going to be until the show begins. Could be just another wannabe Sith like Ventress (not to say she wasn't awesome). I am more concerned with the promo's hint at a "Jedi rising". Talk about killing Yoda's final words, "When gone am I, the last of the Jedi will you be...pass on what you have learned" Also, not sure the helmets on these Stormies need to look different than they did in the OT....my what big eyes you have! The better to miss you with blaster bolts with! Quote
Dynaman Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 Sorry guys, but Vader's downfall was in Return of the Jedi, before that film if you messed with him he killed you, after that if you messed with him he basically said "I'm gonna tell my Daddy on you!" Lucas was so ham-fisted trying to shift the focus of Vader that he totally messed it up. Quote

Twoducks Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 I miss Droids, the cartoon series from way back, and even the Ewoks toon. They didn't need lightsabers to tell a story. They just explored the corners of the SW universe. No need for political crap. Think they got better the idea of having a whole universe to play with back then. Quote
Duke Togo Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 Not feeling that clip. But it's only a clip. Quote
TangledThorns Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 Not feeling that clip. But it's only a clip. Needs more attitude! Quote
Vepariga Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 I love it, has that OT sense of adventure and banter. The CW team is on the job and from what ive seen I think this series will be wonderful. Quote
