Cartoon Network is owned by Warner Bros. Now that Disney owns the property they want to keep the brand in the family. Disney has been fostering a healthy relationship with Netflix for some time now. So this move isn't that surprising.
It's not how the toy works but I always figured they were actually ramps. So the troops can ride inside but if they're on alert they can step out onto those mini-balconies. Then when they need to disembark the walls come down and they can just walk down them.

Nice! I can finally watch S1/E5.
A WARNING. The first two seasons are pretty rough. The first one especially so. But it turned the corner by season 3. So keep that in mind and just give it a chance.

This is an interesting observation.
But not all that surprising. The entire show is taking inspiration from the early pre-ESB era. Heck they've even confirmed that the show is going to have the awesome Imperial Troop Carrier toy as a real vehicle.

My problem with the inquisitor is that he's Darth Vader with everything that makes Darth Vader awesome stripped away.
Also, in this era, there should only be two Jedi and two Sith.
Jedi that escaped the purge have been a part of the EU for ages. What rankles me is that it's supposed to be Vader who is hunting down the remaining Jedi but they keep cooking up side characters to do the job for him.
As for only two Sith, that hasn't changed. Just because the Inquisitor wields a red lightsaber doesn't make him a Sith. A Darkside user at best. Unless you want to claim that Mara Jade was a Sith while working as the Emperor's Hand.

Uh this is going to suck... as I predicted.
An awful copy of Kyle Katarn.
I'll reserve judgement until I actually see a completed episode or two.
My thoughts exactly.

Begs the question; Why the hell didn't they just go with Kyle Katarn?
This is set like what 14 years before ANH? I don't think Kyle has even joined the Imperial Academy at this point. The JK games are all set post-ROTJ.
You'd be far better off just browsing this site instead.
Doh, completely forgot the second Ep of Continues is out.
*rushes off*
*returns*
Excellent.
Uh yeah was gonna say. It's been on the way for a while now.
I don't know if it was trolling so much as indifference. I kind of imagine it going something like this.
Lucasfilm: Hey George, we're going to be releasing the original trilogy on blu-ray soon. Was there anything else you'd like to update for this release? It'd probably up the value for the collectors. You know how they are.
George: Um....well. I never was happy with that Krayt dragon call. Oh and I was always disappointed we couldn't find the right rock on location for Artoo to hide behind. I was never quite happy with Marquand's delivery of the death of the Emperor...needs more emotion somehow....OH and you're going to start work on the 3D releases soon right? Why not see what you can do with Jabba's door or something so we can get that out of the way now.
I honestly believe people inside Lucasfilm would just go up to George and ask for suggestions and then take whatever he came up with on the spot as law. What lead to the fall of 1313.
Man, where's zombie been?

Somebody should have replaced George between ROTJ and TPM.

I wonder how long it'll be before they have to revise their "canon" to accommodate more changes made to the mythos.
Probably be years before something like that could happen. The group literally has a hand in everything that is coming out. Including the movies. So it's highly unlikely the EU will take another beating like it did during the PT era. That is once Episode VII drops and we see where all the Post-ROTJ material falls. After that it should be smooth sailing.
KilroyMcFadden said:
Just for clarification, and so that I know I wasn't hearing things... "Canon" is now the movies I-VI. I'm further under the impression that everything else will be reviewed and determined to either be "canon" or "not canon"... and that there will no longer be levels of canon with the exception of the afore mentioned "canon" or "not canon".
Is that accurate?
Yes. Leland and Pablo Hidalgo have formed a group that decides what is and isn't canon. The level system has been abandoned.

Bah. Give me a good guy who looks like Jason Voorhees, weilds a red lightsaber, but isn't a Force-user, and then I'll be interested.
Sounds like something George would have come up with for the Clone Wars.
So....the Master and the War Chief. One and the same?
Can't beat the classics.
I find it interesting how they cannibalized the original TRON sequel, TRON 2.0 for both the new film and video game.
In TRON 2.0, the son of Alan Bradley(Bruce Boxleitner) enters the grid to rescue his father. Once inside he discovers a virus corrupting the system.
