On the topic of canonizing stuff, I had a feeling they were gonna use the Outrider from Shadows of The Empire at some point. The ship itself is still in the most recent releases of ANH so it’s no surprise to me, hell Disney even made it canon ages ago :http://au.ign.com/articles/2015/04/30/shadows-of-the-empires-outrider-confirmed-as-star-wars-canon

There’s even a YT-2400 showing up in Rebels soon.

Because why? It’s not funny. It’s basically just the same as quoting the post and adding no further content to it.

Don’t.

Holy crap. Just watched the trailer.

Kanan looks cool (Sabine painted some Mandalorian Jaig eyes on his mask!)
Freaking WEDGE defecting (with Sabine, according to Tobar)
Y-Wings (Tobar says that the whole base and everything is taken from a West End Games scenario)
Battle Droids! Neat!
A YT-2400!
More Mandalorians. It’s cool because they were originally Imperial Supercommandos, which is what these guys are. Very exciting!
Dark. Freaking. Troopers. If they have the Arc Hammer I will lose my mind. If Kyle Katarn shows up, I’m sold forever.
Tarkin’s back!
Cham’s back!
Maul’s back!
TIE Interceptors (with red stripes)!
Nightsister magic?
The Bendu (Bindu) looks amazing. Definitely going to be seeing some really trippy Mortis/Korriban level stuff in this series.
Sabine gets the darksaber!
Scout Troopers!
More Inquisitors? Sith spirits? HMM!

And of course, Thrawn.

I’m a bit in the minority with him. By the end of the Thrawn trilogy, I hated the character because he’s just too perfect and infallible and it gets really stupid. Hopefully Rebels will turn him into a decent character, though. I’m more interested by the precedent it sets: if Thrawn can be recanonized, who’s next? We could get Mara Jade or who knows. That’s what’s really exciting to me.

She could use some support.

That cover is absolutely hideous.

As a person who rarely remembers his dreams (and when I do, they’re generally incredibly mundane), I can never believe that people remember their dreams with all this detail and specificity.

DAMN YOU FRINK GET ON THIS TRAIN

You should! Rebels is gonna be big stuff this season!

I’ll be very curious to hear your thoughts on it. It has doubleofive’s stamp of approval already.

Jeez, and to think I used to trust this guy.

Yeah, I was happily open-minded about it until I saw the first trailer and it just looked like absolute dreck with no respect for the source material.

I don’t like how it’s been made into some kinda political battleground, either.

Angry Joe has a review out already and trashes it for an hour across two videos (one kinda sorta spoiler-free and the other not). RLM mentioned it in their Re:View of the original Ghostbusters, and they didn’t seem too hopeful about it.

I’m not sure which person said it, but “cynical cashgrab” seems right on to me.

The Ghostbusters remake has a 57% from the “Top Critics” on Rotten Tomatoes, but it still says it’s “fresh” with a 57%. Less than 60 is supposed to be “rotten”.

Pretty sure Rotten Tomatoes was paid off on this one.

I love it!

I never got the whole “rated highly because of hot babe” thing, just like I never understood the “hot babe” calendars or posters or setting your desktop background to a half-naked woman. I never got the point of having a car magazine with some woman in a g-string splayed all over the hood, I never got the point of a gun magazine where you have a model in booty shorts and a tactical vest. I don’t like the idea of selling things with sex because I feel like it insults my intelligence and talks down to me.

I love women and the female form, but Jesus. There’s enough porn around these days that it’d be nice to look at a car or a gun or some other form of “male hobby” magazine without it also being a Maxim shoot.

H.E.R.B.I.E. from the old Fantastic 4 cartoon?

Let me just check… hm. Yep. Anime still sucks.

That’s absolutely one of the most poorly-written “news” articles I’ve ever seen.

“It’s been shared thousands of times on Facebook.”

Are they farming this stuff out to elementary students?

Does 005 have any suggestions for ROTJ: Revisited he’d like to address at this time?

I was simply stating the truth as I always do, it is no matter to me whether you choose to be entirely incorrect in your stance and feel you must defend the honor of what is literally garbage, dear friend.

You OK my friend?

I’m great dude, but how are you?

Can I suggest some changes to ROTJ: Revisited while I’m thinking about it? Thanks.
