Star Wars: Rebels
And here's our replacement for Clone Wars. Coming to Disney XD in fall 2014. Bridges the gap between Eps 3 and 4. Looks...very cool. Conceptually.
Bit more detail: Quote:

It would be cool if Ezra killed the Inquisitor or something. I don't like him as a character, and where the **** was he in the movies if he survived the pre ANH era? Nope, off that goofy bald sumbitch.
Plus Ezra's character should have some emotional turmoil/dubious nature to him. Make him a bit of a loose cannon even moreso. The anti-Luke. |

I've always thought there was much more happening in the Star Wars galaxy than what was shown in the OT. Rebels is supposed to tie in with Episode VII (and beyond) so it's difficult to predict who survives and who doesn't until we've seen the next trilogy. Quote:
What I find really interesting is that Ezra is far more powerful than Luke and became that way in a very short time. Kanan also appears to be far more powerful than Obi Wan in the OT, although I suppose he hid his powers for the greater good. But Obi Wan or even Anikan never displayed power like Ezra and Kanan. But I sure hope that Obi Wan displays some wicked powers in the spinoffs or it just won't make any sense. |

Looks like there IS a fledgling Rebellion going on that we haven't heard about. I counted three Corellian Corvettes toward the end of that trailer. Fulcrum swooping in to save the day?

I think the perception of what a Jedi is and can do has changed a lot since 1983.
Hell, could do some crazy stuff as Kyle Katarn 20 years ago and it's only gotten crazier. |

I was eleven when A New Hope came out and fourteen when The Empire Strikes Back was released. Based on Ben Kenobi's speech in his home and the teachings of Yoda (not to mention Darth Vader's power), I expected to see the Jedi with superhuman powers. I mean, they're connected to The Force so they should have superhuman powers. Yet in the prequels, the Jedi's power was lame. The whole "passive" nature, especially that of Samuel L. Jackson's character (who was totally miscast, IMO) was off-putting. At least Kanan has passion, as does Ezra. The whole "sleepy" Jedi thing is boring. |

Mostly they were limited by special effects, naturally.
Seeing Luke flip off the skiff plank o'er the pit of Carkoon is still one of the coolest thing I've ever seen, though. Wonderful example of what you can do with a trampoline and some editing. |

I think most people were under the impression that the Jedi were extremely wise and powerful but the prequels showed them as weak and dumb. |

It's pretty interesting actually because in the Clone Wars cartoon, they are much more powerful. And especially in Genndy Tartakovsky Clone Wars miniseries. |

I kind of remember the early Genndy series but really couldn't get past the animation. The later Clone Wars seemed much better. |

The story of the Tartakovsky series is so good, you won't even notice it.
