Star Wars Rebels: “Join the Team” and “Droids” TV Spots.
Another TV spot for Star Wars Rebels Released on the official Star Wars Youtube Channel as well as a special clip released on Disney’s Website…
Credit to JediNews for finding the Droids clip.
So Sabine offered R2 and 3PO a spot on the team?
I don’t know, I can’t see the video, which I can’t understand in the middle of internet communication era.
We need more protocol droids…

I know baby.
And then internet created YouTube…
😉
Rebels again?
Where are the pictures I’ve just leaked about Han Solo on set??
Link??
Jar Jar messed up and accidentally deleted them. :p
I like how they put in the first concept of R2D2 and C3PO 😛
I had spotted the concept c3p0 in an earlier trailer, but not r2d2
He’s talking about Chopper, who uses the prehensile hands that were in Artoo-Detoo’s original design.
Really hoping Ep7 gets it’s own URL site to set it apart from the crowed official site.
Hera, Kanaan, Ephraim? Why the hell did they give them such biblical/mythological names?! This doesn’t sound Star Wars at all
Ya really.. Who is naming these characters? Mormon newlyweds?
Funny, I never noticed that C-3PO’s right leg is different of the other till I watch Return of the Jedi last Friday :S
@Dan
Luke is a Bible name last time I checked.
And so is Paulpatine… And Jewbacca.
Yes, Luke is the name of a gospel writer, and the actor playing him is named after another gospel writer, Mark.
They really need to create a character called Matthew and have him played by an actor named John (or vice versa!)
Maybe Boyega’s character name is Matthew?
Yeah, but that’s because Lucas is Spanish for Luke, not because of biblical reasons.
It’s always been Eastern spiritual philosophies that have inspired the Force and the Jedi, more than Western religion. And it’s Sanskrit and Pali that have always been SW’s main source for names (Anakin, Padme, Yoda, Dagobah, Shaak Ti, etc.). rather than Hebrew/Christian names/words.
Hardly. Yoda is strikingly similar to the Hebrew letter yodh. Also Endor comes from the Bible. Lucas describes himself as a Buddhists Methodist and the names seen in Star Wars reflect that.
Yes, Yoda is similar to the Hebrew word yodh. But you’re just clutching at straws, because Yoda is not only similar, but nearly IDENTICAL to the word “Yodha”, which is Sanskrit for: fighter, warrior, battle and war.
Now, the meaning of “Yodha”, added to its similarity with the Jedi Master’s name (and the HUGE influence that Eastern culture/religions had on Lucas) makes it easy to see how this word (and not the Hebrew “yodh”) is the original source for “Yoda”.
As for Endor, not sure on this, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Lucas borrowed this one from Tolkien, as Endor is a region in his Middle-earth.
Oh, and finally, yes Lucas does describe himself as a Buddhist. And, well, the sacred scriptures of Buddhism are obviously not the Bible, but the Pali Canon. And that happens to have been written in…you guessed it, Sanskrit/Pali, not Hebrew 😉
darth vader means dark father, and luke means light, so you can see why george chooses this name
