    I have no clue what that last thing nor do I think I want to know [face_laugh]

    Suffice it to say I have very mixed feelings on the show

    He's the annoying fat orange alien that showed up in Lando's first episode and later reappeared in Hondo's first episode.

    He has a way of sullying the first quest appearances of very fun characters.

    So after Rebels, a series between Yavin and Hoth? It seems like a nice comfy Clone Wars sized gap. Full on Rebellion vs Empire action, with the movie cast if they want.

    All of the most iconic characters are dead post ROTJ.

    Good, Disney will have full reign to create new icons starting with their new big 3.

    I want to see Quigon Jinn and young Obiwan series with flashbacks to Young Jinn and Dooku.

    I would not mind a Dooku Qui Gon film, I could possibly Red box or Netflix a movie like that. As far as Rebels goes, 4 seasons would be perfect. They do need to move closer to ANH though.

    One of the things that was criticized about TCW, but which i think was a strength, was it's diverse focus in relation to characters, story and timeline. The show could jump around from character to character throughout the timeline and many of the characters stories were totally independent of one another. With Rebels being focused on the chronological experiences of this one crew, it is far, far more limited in how their story can be stretched out in this finite timeline. I really wished they might have started the show a few years earlier in the timeline.

    When I left this thread I was but a learner
    Now I am the Master!
    My prediction of 4 and done was pretty accurate. Only 4 Seasons was a perfect decision.

    It was the intention from the start. Before Rebels even aired, I and others speculated it was just a temporary addition to the canon - whilst the ground is laid (by the ST) for a post-RoTJ series. The more I've watched (and enjoyed) the show, the less Dave Filoni it feels; I think Disney have a road map for Star Wars and key dates, events to be established and defined - but the characters involved are not that important.

    Rebels was never meant to have character arcs and Filoni explained this right at the start of the franchise.

    It's really not.

    Rebels is likely to be first and last animated series set in the OT timeline.

    I wouldn't bet anything on it and technically there already is another show set in the OT timeline

    Forces of Destiny is based in All 3 eras. PT, OT and Disney timelines, but I think its time for Disney to just take over with their stuff. They got Battlefront 2 story to connect OT to the Disney films and Disney has their new characters they are working on.

    Ya, I suspect the Filoni team will be put to work on a ST-era show next. I have next to no interest in that, but perhaps they can flesh out the era and capture my imagination. TCW managed to get a lot of people to look at the PT in a more positive light.. Im gonna need some of that kinda magic.

    At Celebraton the girl from the new Disney films was heavily featured. Many girls cosplayed as her. The enemy guy who is Hans son and Anakins grandkid was also heavily featured. I'm guessing he is the new Maul/Vader character of the Disney trilogy and probably will not die in their new Lost Jedi film. The kids are gonna love this new series. Disney will create a film trilogy and matching animated series for those characters. If they keep Vaders grandson alive for all 3 movies that just opens thing up even more. Are there any other villains in the Disney era like the ones George had in his 6 films? Any Boba Jango characters? Are is just Hans kid as the villain?
