Rebels Star Wars: Rebels

[Harley2004]

Well that's definitely a Disney cartoon.

 

[James]

Looking pretty slick!

 

[Octoberist]

Well that's definitely a Disney cartoon.

What does that mean? Don't see how it's any different in tone from The Clone Wars.

 

[Soapy]

Rebels is looking really great.

 

[bigdaddy313]

Is it me or the first sounds that the robot says is "what the f..."

No you are not the only one, me and my sister saw it and we LOL.

I trust the team behind the show we are definitely getting a Spectacular Spider-Man tone and story telling, serial but light in tone. That's good enough for me.

 

[Loki882]

If it's even half as good as Spectacular Spider-Man was, then it'll be pretty damn good.

Animation wise it's beautiful! Even better than Clone Wars. I expect we'll see some pretty dark episodes. Considering this is after all the "Dark times..."

 

[Lord]

Looks lighter in tone, i'll watch it expecting less than The Clone Wars, that way, if it isn't better than the last show then i won't be disapointed, but if it is as good i'll enjoy it more.

 

[Young Superman]

Those pics look amazing.

 

[Duke]

Those pics look amazing.

I agree. I can't wait to see the first episode.

 

[LordMortis315]

Holy crap, that concept art looks awesome. I wouldn't mind an animated series done in just that style.

And I'm so glad that Kiner's back to do the score.

[FCEEVIPER]

The more and more I think about it, if this show there is no Vader and the Emperor it will be a huge let down. imo

But yeah, I will DVR it for sure.

Press release:

STARWARS.COM - DISNEY PUBLISHING WORLDWIDE AND RANDOM HOUSE ANNOUNCE RELAUNCH OF STAR WARS ADULT FICTION LINE
April 25, 2014

Following today's announcement of Lucasfilm's new unified storytelling approach, Disney Publishing Worldwide is proud to announce their first step into that larger world, beginning with Del Rey Books. The publishing program will feature new adult fiction novels set in the beloved galaxy far, far away, and will be closely connected to the cinematic entertainment currently in development at Lucasfilm.

Star Wars novels consistently rank on the New York Times Bestseller lists -- from the very first tie-in novel, an adaptation of Star Wars: A New Hope released by Del Rey in 1976, to the recently published Star Wars: Kenobi -- and dozens of titles in between. With over 75 million copies sold worldwide, these books have captured the imaginations and creativity of authors who have enriched the Star Wars experience for fans around the globe.

Going forward, Lucasfilm has begun mapping out the narrative future of Star Wars storytelling that will appear on film and television and in other media so that all projects will benefit from real-time collaboration and alignment. The future Star Wars novels from Disney Publishing Worldwide and Del Rey Books will now be part of the official Star Wars canon as reflected on upcoming TV and movie screens.

"With the establishment of the Lucasfilm Story Group and our even greater focus on unified storytelling, we expect our entire publishing program to be stronger and more meaningful than ever before," said Jeanne Mosure, senior vice president and group publisher, Disney Publishing Worldwide. "We're extremely excited to kick off this new strategy with Del Rey Books."

The first novel to benefit from this deeper collaboration is Star Wars: A New Dawn, by bestselling author John Jackson Miller. Set prior to the events of the forthcoming animated series Star Wars Rebels, this novel tells the story of how two of the lead characters of the series, Kanan Jarrus and Hera Syndulla, came to cross paths. To tell this important backstory, Miller benefited from contact with series executive producers Dave Filoni, Simon Kinberg and Greg Weisman, who together ensured this tale will be part of the Star Wars canon of storytelling going forward. It is scheduled for hardcover and eBook release on September 2, 2014.

"We're extremely proud of the hundreds of amazing Star Wars books we've published at Del Rey," said Scott Shannon, SVP, publisher, Del Rey and Digital Content, "And now we're excited to finally be able to call our upcoming novels true canon -- a single, cohesive Star Wars storyline -- all while keeping the amazing backlist of Star Wars Legends content in print."

Following Star Wars: A New Dawn, the all-new Star Wars fiction line will continue with the following 2014/2015 titles:

STAR WARS: TARKIN
James Luceno
11/4/14

STAR WARS: HEIR TO THE JEDI
Kevin Hearne
January 2015

STAR WARS: LORDS OF THE SITH
Paul Kemp
March 2015

In years past, the storylines that would appear in print and on screen were developed separately, resulting in an "Expanded Universe" that differed in ways large and small from the filmmaker's "canon." These rich stories provide a treasure trove of characters to fall in love with -- and deep worlds to explore and will live on in both physical and digital editions, newly-branded as Star Wars Legends.

New books are said to be part of the new canon. One, cohesive canon moving forward.

 

[Lord]

Doesn't it also state that the present canon will still be canon?

 

[MagnarTheGreat]

The previously authored books didn't count as canon, and now the canon going forward is that future books will be a part of the present canon that includes Episodes I~IX, The Clone Wars, and Rebels.

 

[Lord]

That sounds similar to what i thought would happen, and makes sence. However i have to wonder about the first Clone Wars show, it introduced some of the elements that would later be used in the CGI show. Also, the whole Clone Wars and Shadows of the Empire projects were almost above the rest of the EU in terms of canon.

 

[LordMortis315]

Yay, John Jackson Miller! He wrote Kenobi most recently, which was awesome.

 

[Loki882]

I'll probably check out the Rebels prequel book, and the Tarkin one as well. This will make it much simpler to keep caught up with non-movie/TV show materials.
