Yoda kicks off Star Wars March Madness on ESPN.
Please Vote Early, Vote Long, Vote Often!
I am endorsing and advocating Major General Veers in the early rounds and Grand Moff Tarkin and Count Dooku in the final!
You know, (almost?) quoting fluffy, morally dubious 90's movies, and secretly impersonating another person to get more votes for you candidate is... no, wait, actually, that's fairly standard practice. Never mind. Carry on.
Voted.
I'm upset wedge and porkins were in the same bracket.
Poor Ahsoka is losing her bracket!
~Tries the Jedi mind trick~
Vote for Ahsoka, you will.
I will vote for asohka... Hey wait, I already did.
I will vote for Ahsoka.

There is a second benefit to voting for Ahsoka. If Disney sees a popular following for the character it is far more likely to include her in future stories.
Dang it. Ashoka or Windu?
:(
EDIT: I went with Ahsoka. I kind of feel like I should have gone for Windu, since he's got more than Ahsoka, and I don't really want Qui-Gon to win. Ah, well. I probably like Ahsoka better anyway. :)
Thoughts on The Lost Episodes: I liked everything since I'm already a huge fan of the show, but the first 3 and last four episodes are the strongest, particularly the Yoda arc. Also, the fight against Dooku in the Sifo-Dyas episode is one of top ones; not the best (Like Pre-Vizla vs Maul), but still good.
Wow that's a lot of people left alive:
Asajj
Ahsoka
Cad Bane
Darth Maul
Mother Talsin (?)
A lot of the other Bounty Hunters (Aurra Sing, Endo)
Now I'm wondering if any of these are going to be in 'Rebels' or even Episode 7. Also, I'm confused about the canon now. If
The game is indeed canon in the spoiler. But there are are lot of problems with the property overall, bariss was not supposed to be anything remotely like what she is in the tv series, for example.

Star Wars The Clone Wars, the *Essential Chronology.
*Not really that essential
Did any of the "lost" episodes even mention Ahsoka at all?** spoiler omitted **
Haven't watched it yet, only on episode 3 right now but...
Does that mean Ahsoka is dead? Or is it a future vision

Of course this comes out right after I finish S1, oh well. I was surprosed the S1 finale was so far into the series (part way into S3) and around 50th in chronology.
Isnt it Cody that says Sorry before he shoots?
There really needs to be a book that wraps up the Rex storyline. The clone books were ok but once the 2nd and 3rd movie came out didnt line up with canon. Would love it if Vader orders a hunt for Asoka and it stars some clones/Rex and maybe she gets some of the bounty hunters in the tv series to help her.
I'm only just up to Season 4 on Netflix, but from the moment Ahsoka was introduced, I'd imagined that she would have fallen along with Anakin (eventually) and been groomed into one of the Emperor's Hands.
At this point in the series, she seems too intrinsically good for this to happen, but a lot can change in the 2.5 seasons I have yet to get through.
I wil say, Season 6 makes Order 66 that much more terrifying.** spoiler omitted **
Which would only make Sidious happier... and that moment when Anakin / Vader throws him down the energy conduit in Return of the Jedi that much more satisfying.

May the 4th be with us all....
Star Wars REBELS short trailer
Star Wars Rebels REBELS long trailer
ok, officially hyped now!
Animation looks good. Stormtroopers even have this "plastic-y shine under Hollywood studio lights" feel.

I tried not to like this but I still did, nostalgia is a powerful ally.
How many of you are old enough to remember Rick Forcefield?

It's still a year away but a glimpse at Star Wars Battlefront.
I look forward to teaming up with loyal citizens of The Empire as we crush this thrice damned rebellion under our heel, just as a Bantha would swat a fly.

considering you guys can't even protect a single thermal exhaust port, I would say this is a bit of a pipe dream.

Oh, right, you get one success! and that's all we ever hear about.
"Congratulations! You defeated an ill-organized, ill-equipped under-staffed backwards post when you poured the full weight of the largest military in the galaxy behind it! Once!"
Sorry. Not impressed.
EDIT 1: I mean, c'mon, guys. You lost the war that was entirely yours to lose!
EDIT 2: You started with the full weight of the imperial navy from the days of the Galactic Republic, and you lost to what amounts to the military force of slightly less than a planet's normal defensive fleet.
EDIT 3: The rebels managed to acquire one good pilot and a smuggler duo you'd already caught once! And we're desperate enough to promote him to General. An unemployable spice runner. To General.
EDIT 4: I mean, when did you ever win a fight that wasn't through a combination of betrayal and overwhelming numbers? Totally a valid tactic, by the way, but still kind of hard to claim"glory" from it. Meanwhile, you've your best admiral just... sitting back. Not allowed to do anything. Because he's blue. Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaame.
