Topic: Star Wars: Rebels

Three new teaser trailers on the front page.

Really starting to get excited for this. That Spark Teaser showing the Ghost with the TIEs and the falconesque turbo laser fight sure did remind me of ANH. I know its just my OTC Roots shining through here, but I am so psyched that younger folks might get hooked on Star Wars with a similar time frame that I got hooked on!

I'm not sure if anyone has posted this yet but I found out this morning that the AT-DP vehicle has no leg articulation!!!!....can anyone confirm this?

I will start a thread for this in our Rebels section so we can keep this about the show, but yes I can confirm. You can also see it if you look at the showroom gallery pics. Here you go:

Only thing I've seen so far that I like about the show is the new villian and the AT-DP.

Just a bit of the space battle footage  looks so OT so that has me hooked. I was hoping we would see a bit more of the Imperial Troop Transport on some of these, but I am still hopeful at this point.

Matter of fact I added a new character teaser video to the front page.

Still in the middle about these characters, but this one's a keeper!

 Imperial Inquisitor - The Empire’s Jedi Hunter

New Star Wars Rebels Behind-The-Scenes Video:

In the upcoming Star Wars Rebels animated series, the Empire rules with an iron fist, spreading fear from world to world. Meanwhile, the few remaining Jedi are hunted across the galaxy -- and the cold, calculating Imperial Inquisitor is the hunter.

Fully revealed in this new video, the Inquisitor recalls classic Star Wars villains but is also distinct in many ways. According to Lucasfilm’s Pablo Hidalgo, the Inquisitor is not a Sith, though he does wield a red lightsaber and taps into the dark side. “His intensity is based on the purpose of the assignment,” Hidalgo says. The design of the Inquisitor evolved during early phases of production, but one specific element truly finalized both the character’s threatening look and personality.

“Once we put the [Pau’an] head on, it all kind of fell into place,” says executive producer Dave Filoni. Indeed, the Inquisitor’s face is intimidating and frightening, featuring carved lines, red markings, and jagged teeth. “Suddenly there was this black-suited, armored, creepy, evil Inquisitor. It’s unmistakable.” One crucial factor in bringing the Inquisitor to life, however, is his voice – and that task falls to a veteran of villainy.

Jason Isaacs (Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter films) plays the Jedi hunter, joking, “I’ve played a few unpleasant characters. Possibly, you could call them villains -- depends on your point view.” Isaacs notes that the Inquisitor’s job is simple -- to track down and kill all Jedi or Force users with no mercy.

Chris Glenn, concept artist, notes that while the Inquisitor is not a Sith, he is more than a match for Force-wielders. “He’s familiar with a lot of the Jedi ways and training tactics, and he uses that knowledge against Kanan.” Kilian Plunkett, art director of Star Wars Rebels, says that while the Inquisitor visually evokes earlier villains like Darth Maul and Darth Vader, he isn’t just a carbon copy.

Ultimately, the Inquisitor is a major new threat for Star Wars Rebels’ small band of rebels – and that is by design. “When the Inquisitor shows up,” Hidalgo says, “it means something. It’s significant, and it’s a definite challenge to our heroes.”

Star Wars Rebels is scheduled to premiere in the fall as a one-hour special telecast on Disney Channel, and will be followed by a series on Disney XD channels around the world.

The television movie garnered rave reviews at last month's San Diego Comic-Con fan event for its story (set between the events of Star Wars Episodes III and IV) and its look -- akin to the classic Star Wars trilogy.  The series designs are influenced by the work of original Star Wars concept artist Ralph McQuarrie.
 
The story unfolds during a dark time when the evil Galactic Empire is tightening its grip of power on the galaxy. Imperial forces have occupied a remote planet and are ruining the lives of its people. The motley but clever crew of the starship Ghost -- cowboy Jedi Kanan, ace pilot Hera, street-smart teenager Ezra, the "muscle" Zeb, warrior firebrand Sabine, and cantankerous old astromech droid Chopper -- is among a select few who are brave enough to stand against the Empire. Together, they will face threatening new villains, encounter colorful adversaries, embark on thrilling adventures and become heroes with the power to ignite a rebellion.
 
"Star Wars Rebels" is created by Dave Filoni (Star Wars: The Clone Wars), Simon Kinberg (X-Men: Days of Future Past, Sherlock Holmes), and Carrie Beck. The Lucasfilm Animation production is also executive-produced by Filoni and Kinberg as well as Greg Weisman (Gargoyles).
 
The talented voice cast includes Freddie Prinze Jr. as Kanan, Vanessa Marshall as Hera, Steve Blum as Zeb, Tiya Sircar as Sabine, Taylor Gray as Ezra, David Oyelowo as Agent Kallus and Jason Isaacs as the Inquisitor.

Been watching various trailers for this and am looking forward to it.
Disney just released 3 new tv spots today as reported at dark horizons.com.http://www.darkhorizons.com/news/33560/a-trio-of-star-wars-rebels-tv-spots

[Tamer]

Does anyone else just feel like we have watched hours of this show before it even airs?

My wife just informed me she "downgraded" our tv service because we aren't watching much TV now. Does anyone remember what Luke said when he found out Vader was his father? That was  my reaction.

Now I have to find another way to watch this that won't break the bank.

[Tamer]

Yet another preview video on the front page.

I don't have too many details yet, but this show just got a lot more exciting for me!

[Clonehead]

I'm ready. I want to see it on the big screen.
Bring on those vehicles in the stores as well.
