Interesting turn of events, and quite frankly, I'm glad to see Filoni involved.
Perhaps an older Ahsoka Tano will appear in this series.
I personally hope they try to take a more series tone with the series, but some how the doubt of that eats away more than the Jar Jar Binks episodes of Clone Wars ever could. The Disney ownership is giving us new movies, the partnership with EA will give us new games; the next couple of years will determine whether or not we actually wanted any of it.
Whoa.

And I mean it was to the point that she wouldn't permit me to use The Lord of The Rings in essays that we needed to use a "signifigant work of liturature". She did allow me to use Of Mice and Men . . .

And yeah, as I mentioned in another thread, the establishment has a grudge against speculative fiction.

I've always preferred Sci-fi(more adventure style than hard sci-fi though) and Fantasy to other genres. Fantasy has always been my favorite. It applies to my writing as well as my reading.

Sorry to bump, but I came across a couple things during my ritual Wookieepedia prowl:
The Ghost was a starship used by an individual who lived during the early years of the Galactic Empire.
The animated series will chronicle "a time where the Empire is securing its grip on the galaxy and hunting down the last of the Jedi Knights as a fledgling rebellion against the Empire is taking shape."[1] The main character will travel in a ship called Ghost, which will serve as one of the main locations of the show. Other known locations will be the inside of an Imperial Star Destroyer and possibly the Killik Mounds of Alderaan.
Now, I'm gonna regret even planting this seed... but what do you suppose the odds are for Ahsoka and/or Ventress being said protagonist given Filoni as executive producer? <_<
So, this is apparently still plodding forward. All post-Jedi EU has been understandably halted... but by God, we're gonna make sure there isn't a nanosecond during the film era not rendered in CGI, aren't we? :p

Too damn high. I just want them both to die horrible deaths at the hands of Darth Vader. Preferably the same way Durge died.
Well okay, maybe Ventress the same way Durge died. I won't rob you of your blender droid, Moff

Meh, I'm so far into ME and Harrington that I don't even care about the blender droid anymore. So, one good thing about my love of the third installment... well, of both. Of course, Honor's books are up to 12 or so...
Third one was pretty good. Second was too. And the first had a little weirdness because you gotta set things up, but still pretty good. Fourth was good but heart-wrenching and blood-boiling. Fifth more of that. Sixth I'm rereading and almost done with, also good. Seventh is good, eighth is good, ninth is good, tenth is good, eleven almost made me cry at the end (so really good), twelve is good...

Honor Harrington. It's space opera, hard (of the One Big Lie variety) milscifi. Weber likes to show off that he clearly understands how obscenely huge space is and what itty-bitty little dustmotes anything built by humans would be compared to it.
It has a few political angles, one more or less made obsolete today but when it came out in the early 90s, women in command--let alone of combat vessels--was a hot issue. He comes down on the "everything he can do, she can do too" side without making Honor come off as a traditionally masculine character in a female body. I'm doing it a great disservice boiling it down to these terms... try Amazon or Half.com for a copy of On Basilisk Station.

So, just found a little update on Wookieepedia...
Will air Fall 2014 on Disney XD...
And say hello to our main antagonist.
A male individual served as an Inquisitor circa 5 BBY. He was tasked by Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Vader with hunting down the remaining Jedi Knights who had survived the Great Jedi Purge.

Blaarghhh. The hell is going on with his lightsabre? D'you reckon it doubles as a Tron disk? Meh, looks like a generic, half-arsed villain to me. Also has a resemblance to the TCW Maul. I bet he's going to pop up too.
Also, note the double sided lightsabre. Used by producers to make a fight more balanced when duelling two people as in TPM... or maybe someone with two lightsabres. I can think of two people he might meet who use dual sabres...

...How is he supposed to put that on his belt...? Or maybe throwing it and then activating the blades is his "signature move" because everyone knows villains need a signature move!
But that screws up my plans to have it as the AT-AR.
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Reconnaissance_Troop_Transporter This is also canon. For a brief instant, I had hope that the show might actually have an Imperial focus, perhaps showing officers (or even clones!) disaffected with the Empire's increasing brutality and departure from the Republic's positive qualities.
Then I remembered it follows around another crew of another junk freighter that will somehow show up the Imperial forces at every turn.

Surely the AT-DP deserves a mention for SWGB?
And how exactly does that page have "MAJOR spoilers from Star Wars Rebels"?

That is the stupidest looking lightsaber I've ever seen--and is it just me or is "his" grip very feminine? Before I read the caption, I was thinking, "Welcome back, Asajj." At least the animation looks less over-the-top than TCW...
