It's always fairly interesting when either the tabletop games or one of the reference books decide to reinterpret the animated series characters in a "realistic" light, artistically. You end up getting stuff like the below, which often provide for somewhat of a window into some funky alternate history where Episode II was all about the Clone Wars, instead of merely its prelude.  Also, it's fun watching the same artists struggle to "recast" Ahsoka from her super-stylized and abstract appearance in the cartoon; to this day, I haven't seen a alternate version of her that hasn't produced some sort of uncanny valley effect. Yes, even the Rebels version. I think it's the eyes.

so i binged basically all of tcw and the first season of rebels while pet sitting this week and holy loving poo poo both shows are so much better than i thought they'd be most of the clone wars was the kind of fun space fantasy adventure crap i really wanted back when the prequels came out, and rebels is just loving amazo and even with the post disney canon housecleaning there're still tons of little continuity nods in rebels that make my inner 14 yo sw nerd self happy, without falling into the stupid self indulgent hole that most aughties sw stuff did also i just loving adore how kenner all the mechanical design is

As long as you can get enough budget (though that admittedly can be a tricky feat when you're not personally bankrolled by George Lucas) to provide the visuals, you've got the means for good length, serial adventures, whilst being able to expand on and explore the setting in a way that the films could only dream of (whilst I do like the relative amount of worldbuilding the PT brought, admittedly much of that is in the aesthetics of the locales).

I watched it in the normal release order and didn't even realize there was anything off. Either way it's the least confusing show ever made so I don't know why it would ever be necessary to follow a loving chronological order guide

Still working my way through the Clone Wars Blu-ray set, and I just finished the arc in Season 5 about the Jedi younglings who go on the quest for their lightsaber crystals and then get sidetracked when pirates board their ship... and then have to side with the pirates to fight off an attack by Grievous. I'm so glad Clone Wars is canon, because I don't want a Star Wars universe where there's no Hondo Ohnaka or Cad Bane. They're two of the best characters to ever come out of Star Wars. Especially since Hondo and Ahsoka have such a history together, it wouldn't surprise me if Ahsoka makes use of Hondo's services during the time of Rebels. And since we see in Clone Wars that Bane took some contracts directly from Sidious, I could see Bane being hired by the Empire to work against the Rebels. But what happens if the situation were to arise where it's Hondo vs Bane?

One one hand yeah, it is a long time to wait, but on the other hand it's not too surprising because October is a pretty common month for shows to premiere their new seasons. Just be glad Rebels isn't following the Gravity Falls release schedule.

I haven't watched or read up about Rebels: Season 1. I was really disgusted for TCW for being cancelled and remade into Rebels, a Disney version of TCW with a smaller budget aimed at possibly even younger kids than on Cartoon Network. I do know that a couple key people behind TCW got moved to Rebels which gives me hope that the show can appeal to a young adult Star Wars fan. So how is the show? Are the plots and characters actually compelling? Or does it contain lots of JarJar Binks type tomfoolery and meaningless stories in the Star Wars universe? I still debating to spend the money on buying Season 1 bluray. Also I just watched the clip above, it looks like it took a graphical hit compared to TCW, but of course that's just 1 small scene. Also I disappointed that Hondo gets all the fame while my favorite villain Cad Bane gets left in the dust.

Rebels is good. It's different from TCW in that it's just focusing on a single group of characters, but it's still compelling. It's not a super Jar Jar kids show. The graphical hit is mainly because George isn't throwing literally millions of dollars an episode out anymore.

Also whilst the first few episodes can be a bit standard, the series quickly hits its stride with 'Rise of the Old Masters', and remains consistently good thereafter. Its definitely a worthwhile addition to the franchise, and don't let the issue of its aesthetic turn you away. I mean really, if you need encouragement that this show can get as dark about things as TCW did, know that one of the first things Tarkin does when he appears is order the execution of the villainous comic relief.

Just watch it, you won't hate it, you just might not like it as much. Speaking of S1, bluray/dvd announced, looks to have those Rebel Recon youtube videos as extras plus celebration Q&A panels, plus a season 2 preview thingy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXcRoeAfJ2A quote:Coming to Blu-ray and DVD on September 1, Star Wars Rebels: Complete Season One brings another chapter in the epic Star Wars story to your own personal Jedi Archives. With 15 action-packed episodes, never-before-seen bonus material, and interviews with the cast and crew, the only thing missing is your own kyber crystal.

Rebels is a similar show to TCW in terms of tone, but the stakes are much smaller and the feel is more intimate. People have compared it many times to being more similar to a pen & paper RPG session than the space operatic scale of TCW. Both are valid takes, and both are good for many of the same reasons, mainly because the people working on them are smart and are presenting their own take on Star Wars. They pay constant homage to the films but at the same time aren't married to them, if that makes sense. Opinions are divided on which is better, but personally I think the short run of Rebels has already blown TCW out of the water. Obviously it doesn't look as good, but the cast and overarching story has been extremely strong so far.

We are just about a month out from the start of regular episodes of Rebels, so here's a featurette about clones. Also, this cam-captured TV spot has some sick-rear end beats.

Between this and the Kanan comic (which is awesome if you haven't seen it) I'm really hoping we get further into how clones are getting by in the years after the Republic and how they feel about stuff like Order 66 and the new Empire. Especially as they age (at double speed). By Rebels time I doubt many are still actively serving in combat units. Most have probably been given medical discharges with a few being relegated to desk jobs and such. While Rex and co seem to have pulled their chips and jumped ship before O66, I'd be pretty interested in seen how most clones deal with life after the military. Especially since I doubt the Empire gives enough of a poo poo about them to provide something as kind as a pension.

Since they age fast, they wouldn't have to pay a pension for long, and they woukd be perfect propaganda pieces. Come see the heroes of Ryloth! They would be front and center of those Empire Day parades.

Stories are still strong, and the tight focus on a single cell works. While it definitely started lighter than the average TCW tone, it is getting rapidly darker -- we're about to hit the darkest part of the Imperial Era, as the Rebellion goes hot and the boot comes down hard on everyone everywhere. And, honestly, if they brought back Honda, Cad Bane is going to show up.
