Even though the pilot Spark of Rebellion aired in HD it is being released on October 14th as DVD only. No deleted scenes, or bonus material of any kind.

No Blu ray.

The show was not great, and not that bad either.

Biggest prequelism i noticed was the Artoo unit having a jet booster like Artoo from the prequels. Also the Obi Wan Hologram, and the Inquisitor looks like that dubious guy from the planet where Obi Wan chased Grievous in episode III.

Other than that they were trying pretty hard for an OT style.

The one character i really don't care for is Sabine. I don't hate the character she just seems uninteresting. If not outright annoying like in the mini episode.

I was far more interested in the smuggling aspect and the rebels without lightsabers. As soon As Kanan whips his lighstaber out it became almost prequel like to me. The stormtroopers all focusing fire on him and him deflecting them with his lightsaber was very prequelish and video gamey.

Why can't Kanan simply have just been a smuggler why did he have to be a smuggler jedi. I think the character would be more interesting if he was not waving around a light stick.
