npgcole Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 I'm sure Season Three will be over before we get a Thrawn minifigure. You know how LEGO is with Rebels. Quote
rollermonkey Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 Wedge Antilles fans should be happy, too. Quote
Raelthorne Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 Did I hear Tom Baker's voice in there too as the one between the Dark & the Light Sides? Quote
Alpinemaps Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 Thrawn in Rebels. Potentially appearing in 2017 rebels sets. Let the rumor mill begin. We *need* a Thrawn minifigure. I've got to think he's coming now. He will sell sets. I'm going to guess he'll show up in an expensive set. So, Thrawn is finally canon? Nice. Now I might actually buy a Rebels set. Unless they're naming this guy something else and just making him Thrawn-like... No, he's called out by name - Grand Admiral Thrawn. Wedge Antilles fans should be happy, too. Regarding your spoiler - yes! And I've got to think he'll be in a set as well. Also, a YT-2400 showed up. And Y-Wings. Ripe ripe ripe for sets. Quote
Mr Spielbrick Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 Did I hear Tom Baker's voice in there too as the one between the Dark & the Light Sides? You did! He's playing the Bendu. What a thrill to hear The Doctor talk about Jedi and Sith... I was already looking forward to season 3, but now it can't come soon enough. Here's hoping they'll include the new-look crew and Grand (!) Admiral (!!) Thrawn (!!!) in a set. Personally, I don't care too much for the stormtroopers included in the Rebels sets, but that's an easy fix. The other minifigures still work perfectly along the other Star Wars ones of the last few years, in my view. It's a wonderful notion that perhaps there'll be a Thrawn to pit against the OT good guys.

Forresto Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 Did anyone else also notice Dark Troopers are canon again? I have a feeling them combined with the Outrider style ship means that storyline will return to canon in some form. Also we have our first on screen female imperial officer which is cool. I know there are many in the new canon books but we havent seen any in a show or movie until now. I feel like Filoni is trying to add in lots of the original EU and I am so happy! Quote
xboxtravis7992 Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 Dark Troopers, Outrider, THRAWN?!?! Gosh I need to start watching this show... Disney might have scrapped the old canon, but they are retaining almost all the best elements! Quote
ChiefPie Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 (edited) Yep here's a list: dark saber, mandos, outrider, battle droids, dark troopers, Thrawn, bendu, green ghostly spirit, scout troopers, Ezra hair cut, Sabine purple hair, price, hondo, maul, new out fits for Ezra, Kanan, Hera, and Kanan has A beard. Oh and y wings. I completely forgot Wedge Antilles. Edited July 17, 2016 by ChiefPie Quote
Forresto Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 Don't forget Tie Interceptors have finally made there appearance. I don't care at all but I'm thinking it's a little strange they're appearing before ANH. I always felt they came later in the war to counter the better maneuverability of Rebel Pilots. Quote
Kintobor Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 Around the 0:39 part of the new trailer is a really curious shot of what appears to be three imperial TIE fighter pilots saluting, with Wedge Antilles introducing himself. The individual on the left looks quite a bit like Wedge. The individual in the middle, looks a lot like Sabine. Perhaps we're getting a flashback episode? Quote

Toa of Gallifrey Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 All I need is Revan and Kreia. HK-47 would be nice, too. Quote
YellowCorvette Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 yep, now they just have to add Darth Revan, Darth Malgus, and the other Star Wars: The Old Republic characters to Star Wars Rebels to connect the timeline :) No, I like Darth Revan and the other Old Republic characters but they should stay away from the Rebels timeline. There's no reason for a character who lived thousand years ago before the Rebellion era to been still alive and kicking some stormtrooper's a** at that time (Althrough the Old Republic isn't canon anymore) Quote
Columbus019 Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 (edited) Hi guys, the trailer dropped on YouTube and it includes Thrawn and also the YT-2400 ship, the model is better known as the outrider as that is the ship used by Dash Rendar is the shadows of the empire multimedia project, sadly, Dave Filoni said that Dash isn't going to be making an appearance and it was just a YT-2400. #SWCE P.S. Who else watched the star wars show live for full star wars celebration Europe coverage and all the panels? Columbus Edited July 18, 2016 by Columbus019 Quote
Agent Kallus Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 After visiting the rebels season 3 panel I was wondering if the first episode just aired at celebration early or was premiered early elsewhere just curious because the first episodes of series 1 and 2 were shown early. Quote

ChiefPie Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 Actually Star Wars: The Old Republic is canon, there's a Lucasfilm/Disney logo on the loading screen for the game I don't believe that game is canon. Quote
The_Chosen_1 Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 Actually Star Wars: The Old Republic is canon, there's a Lucasfilm/Disney logo on the loading screen for the game There are also Disney/Lucasfilm logos on new prints of the Legends novels; that doesn't equate to canon. Lucasfilm allows The Old Republic to continue (probably due to the popularity of the game), although it's likely not considered canon. Quote
PenPlays Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 After visiting the rebels season 3 panel I was wondering if the first episode just aired at celebration early or was premiered early elsewhere just curious because the first episodes of series 1 and 2 were shown early. It just aired at Celebration. The stream was cut before those of us at home got to see it. Quote
ChiefPie Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 Someone on youtube made a comment on how there were red markings on the tie interceptors and said that they resemble a 181st tie interceptors. Quote
Columbus019 Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 Actually Star Wars: The Old Republic is canon, there's a Lucasfilm/Disney logo on the loading screen for the game Sorry, the only things that are canon (post 2014) are the films, the two tv series (clone wars and rebels) and any other subsequent works produced by Disney or Lucasfilm.

General Magma Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 No, I like Darth Revan and the other Old Republic characters but they should stay away from the Rebels timeline. There's no reason for a character who lived thousand years ago before the Rebellion era to been still alive and kicking some stormtrooper's a** at that time (Althrough the Old Republic isn't canon anymore) It's called Sith holocrons and ancient lore. Quote
Artanis I Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 It's called Sith holocrons and ancient lore. That's right, and a character doesn't have to be alive and physically appear in the show to be made canon. Darth Bane is canon thanks to TCW, even though it was just a vision. Darth Plaguis is canon because he was mentioned in Episode III. All it takes is a brief mention and Revan is real (again). Quote

They would be canon, however, all of the stuff that they did, unless mentioned in said brief mention, is still non-canon. Just a quick question, is the holiday special still canon, and if so, why are there not LEGO sets based on it? Columbus Edited July 19, 2016 by Columbus019 Quote

Just like every other character. Thrawn, too. It doesn't really matter if we don't immediately have a canon backstory for them. What matters now is the first step towards canonizing them, and once characters like Revan are canon, there is no doubt that their canon history will later be expanded upon. Just a quick question, is the holiday special still canon No. Quote
