Also here’s an interesting answer from Rebels’ executive producer Greg Weisman on will we see some Expanded Universe characters in the TV show:

@ndwwrestler2: chance we could see a character or two from the EU? Maybe Talon Karrde, Mara Jade, or even Thrawn? #SWRebels” Not saying.

    I’m not too happy with those starship names: Phantom and Ghost… I feel like they were brought about by an 8 year old. Also, Ezra and Zeb probably could’ve been named better, just saying. My hopes in this series are slowly diminishing. I was hoping for something that’d revamp my enthusiasm in an animated Star Wars television series, but so far this isn’t looking too promising. I hope I’m wrong, but we’ll have to wait until the show starts airing to make an accurate judgement.

    Rebels could still be ok hopefully. You have to figure it will have some dopey characters, names, etc. I mean it is a cartoon afterall and its geared towards a younger audience. Its not like its a mature animation for adults.

    I love the art, but I have a bad feeling about this. The Droids cartoon in the 80s only lasted 1 season. I think that was due to the lack of familiar cast in the series. The droids weren’t enough to keep fans’ attention. REBELS has yet to have a character we know. The Clone Wars succeeded because the central characters (Ashoka aside) were ones we knew from the movies. We’re talking A-list characters Anakin, Obi-Wan, Yoda, Jedi, Dooku, Palpatine etc. It doesn’t sound like this series will star Vader, Mon Mothma, Bail Organa, the droids, Senator Leia Organa, Tarkin & the Death Star etc. I’ll still tune in out of curiosity, of course.

      star wars is a multigenerational saga about the Skywalker family, but it is also a multigenerational thing for the fans & their families & I like that! We old guys like the original trilogy best, the next generation prefer the prequels & the clone wars & now it is time for yet another generation to discover star wars through rebels & the sequels & if you look at it that way there really is no reason to talk bad about any star wars material. We all like different things, i prefer the originals since i grew up with them, my nephews prefer the prequels since they grew up with them & the next generation will maybe prefer the sequels & rebels,.. but overall i like all star wars material 🙂 Can´t wait to see Rebels/ J from Sweden

    I think all of you need to have more faith and just sit back and wait for the show to premier. Its created, writen, produced by AMAZING people. I mean Dave Filoni, Simon Kinberg enough said. You haven’t even seen anything yet and are judging it so hard. “my hope is diminishing”…..please…

      No shit what’s wrong with some of you people

      If you had finished reading my above comment, you would have noticed that I’m actually agreeing with your statement here… Talk about early judgement…geez.
      I’m aware of the talented writers and producers assigned to develope this show. I’m not saying I’m completely giving up on the series, that’d be arrogant and foolish of me to determine so early in its’ pre production. I’m simply saying that the recently released information hasn’t really been sitting well with me. No shit, I’m still going to wait for the series to premier and watch it. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to make any accurate judgements whatsoever.
      There’s nothing wrong about not being satisfied with the information we’ve recieved so far. I mean, we’ve gotten more news about this series that episode VII and people are making stronger judgements about that. I say what’s wrong with THOSE people?

    Very beautiful ship. There’s any chance to see some new SW Rebels ship in Episode 7?

    To say that rebels isn’t going to have any characters we’ve seen before is a major misjudgment. Of course we are going to see Han Solo and Leia and probably Luke too, and several other characters. This may not happen right away in the series, but it has to start somewhere. Also, seeing that there’s about 20 years in between episodes III and IV, there’s gonna be a LOT going on in Rebels. The possibilities are endless as to what they could do with this. But I can assure you without a doubt that several familiar characters are going to be intermingled with this untold story…and some new ones also. IT’S GONNA BE AWESOME EVERYBODY, WHAT THE WORLD! can’t wait!

      they will probably focus on introducing the new characters first, but the impact of seeing a familiar face when we have been left hanging for some episodes will be even greater, imagine Vader suddenly appearing without any warning !!! 🙂 i agree: IT WILL BE AWESOME, just seeing familiar designs on spaceships such as the TIE fighter & hear the sound of them will surely send shivers down my spine… -Do you guys Think we will see Millenium Falcon in Rebels?

    Let’s hope that Zeb and Ezra are the viewer’s entrance into “Rebels” the way Ahsoka was in “Clone Wars” and that they are surrounded by some better-known characters.

    Did anyone else notice how different Joel Aron looks now in the Rebel’s videos? I hate to say this but he looks very similar to my father-in-law before he died of cancer. I hope he isn’t sick but if so I hope he gets better soon.
