The Clone Wars Lives On Through 'Legacy' Series

The televisions series may have ended with Season 6 "The Lost Missions", but there were still plenty of Clone Wars stories that had been written and were waiting to be told.  Last week, Lucasfilm announced that those stories would not be locked away forever, but would be told through other mediums.  Rejoice, fellow Star Wars fans, The Clone Wars lives!!!

New 'Star Wars Rebels' Video

More video promoting Star Wars Rebels was released in the last week!  Although I am really looking forward to the show, the video has me torn.  Some of it looks really great...and some of it makes me cringe.

'Song of the Sea' And 'Star Wars Rebels' Release Dates; New Rebels Short

Release dates for two of my most anticipated animated entertainments have finally been announced!

'Art Attack' Rebels Clip

 

Last week's short from the new Star Wars Rebels show focused on the characters Chopper, Hera, and Kanaan, so this week featured a different member of the crew: Mandalorian weapons and explosives expert Sabine Wren.



The really cool thing about Sabine that I love is that she's an artist.  We've never seen a main character in the Star Wars universe express themselves in a creative way, and I love the fact that Sabine likes to make artistic explosions and uses graffiti to express herself and to rebel against the Empire.  It's very reminiscent of the graffiti that was all over the Berlin Wall in Germany before it was torn down.  Of course, the fact that she's a Mandalorian is also very cool, and I'm really interested to know her personal history as a member of that group of warriors and if she has any ties to the planet Mandalore, which I hope we will visit or at least find out what happened to it when the Empire took over.  When we last saw Mandalore in the Clone Wars, it was embroiled in a civil war and could very well have been invaded by the Republic.

I love these little shorts that Lucasfilm keeps teasing us with; hopefully they'll show a little love for Zeb next!

'The Machine In The Ghost' Rebels Clip

Another Rebels clip was released today featuring an absolutely fantastic space battle with some TIE fighters starring main characters Captain Hera and Kanaan, the resident Jedi residing on Hera's ship, the Ghost.  This clip was released as a short, but I'm pretty confidant that it is part of the first episode.  A small preview of the clip was released last week, but this full short is over three minutes.

Everything in it is fantastic, from the lighting to the sweeping camera shots that looked like they were taken straight from Episode IV: A New Hope, to the witty, snappy banter.  It's 100% Star Wars, and it is awesome.  Check it out below!

New 'Rebels' Clip & Music, Official Soundtrack For 'Clone Wars'

Just when I thought we'd be getting a break from Star Wars Rebels, more cool stuff was released!  It's so good, it's almost torture, knowing we all have to wait a little longer to see the show!  Plus, Disney has thankfully not forgotten about The Clone Wars music that fans have been clamoring for.  Read on for details!

New 'Star Wars Rebels' Featurette

The Star Wars Rebels hype continues to build!  Yesterday, Lucasfilm gave us a seven minute preview of the very first episode, and today they've given us a featurette that poses the question: what is a Rebel?

Top 5 Most Awesome Things in the Star Wars Rebels Trailers

There were two Rebels trailers last weekend: a 30 second preview for the trailer, and the full minute long trailer itself.  Both showed some pretty cool stuff, so now it's time for a Top 5 list!  Normally I would do 10, but these trailers are so short there's not much to choose from.  Since we're essentially starting a new story from scratch again, there's nothing to speculate about.  So with that, here are my Top 5 Most Awesome Things in the Star Wars Rebels Trailers!

Happy May The Fourth, everyone!  I hope you are enjoying your Star Wars holiday...I didn't have any time today to watch any of the films or any Clone Wars episodes, so I just blasted some good old John Williams music while I did my work.  But for the moment, what better way to celebrate the holiest of geek holidays than with a new Star Wars Rebels trailer?

The Rebels are coming!!

Yesterday was a great day to be a Star Wars fan...in addition to other exciting news in the Star Wars universe, it was announced that the first official full trailer for Star Wars Rebels will be released on Star Wars holiday May The Fourth!

See the full Rebels WonderCon panel on YouTube!

A few days ago I posted the Star Wars Rebels highlights from WonderCon, but if you want to watch the whole panel, you can just head over to YouTube!  Isn't the Internet great?

Rebels Report from WonderCon!!

Well, I was about to go to bed...but then this happened, and there was no way I could sleep without talking about the new Rebels info!!  We've got more behind the scenes concept art, the reveal of the composer for the series (complete with a new interview), and best of all...our first real completely animated clip from the show!  So let's get to it!

The Clone Wars, New Trailers, Pixar's "Party Central," and that Wascally Wabbit

Lots of little bits of news to talk about here!!  It's amazing how much stuff can pile up over a few days.  So let's get to it!

Returned, The Clone Wars have...

It's finally here!!  Honestly, it feels like Christmas!  After a whole year of waiting and speculating, Star Wars: The Clone Wars has returned!  But before we get to the Top 10 Things To Look Forward To In Season 6, here's a couple of other cool things I want to share to help celebrate The Clone Wars.

But beware, there are spoilers for episodes and plot points in past seasons.  So if you haven't seen the show, don't read this.  Please don't read this.  Trust me, you don't want to spoil this for yourself.  It's all on Netflix now (all 6 seasons), and the first month is totally free, so you all have no excuse!  Go watch the show, and then come back.  Here's the link: http://movies.netflix.com/WiMovie/70155581

Only 3 More Days...

...until The Clone Wars, in all of its 6 season glory, hits Netflix!!  On Friday, fans will finally have the episodes we've been waiting for since last March.  It's been a long year, and I can't believe it's almost here!  To help quench our thirst, I've searched for all preview clips released and posted them below to drool over (and analyze; I won't just gush, I promise!).  Two of them were actually released to the internet last year, and three more were released this week!  But beware, one clip in particular does contain spoilers, so read at your own risk...
