Accidentally came across this CGI show on Disney XD Canada the other day while scanning through the cable guide and really enjoyed the episode. Excellent graphics for a TV series and quite a fun show to watch.
Anyone else watching this show? It's been renewed for a second season.
Star Wars Rebels is an American 3D CGI animated television series produced by Lucasfilm and Lucasfilm Animation. Set fourteen years after Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and five years before Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, Rebels takes place during an era when the Galactic Empire is securing its grip on the galaxy. Imperial forces are hunting down the last of the Jedi Knights while a fledgling rebellion against the Empire is taking form. The visual style of Star Wars Rebels is inspired by the original Star Wars trilogy concept art by Ralph McQuarrie.

I catch it when I run across it and its not bad at all. not quite up to Clone Wars standards but its geared to a younger audience.
Bayonet JR is a fan, which means I get to see some of them. I like that things aren't dumbed down for the kids.
I've watched a couple. It's pretty good. Cool that they brought back Billy Dee Williams for Lando.

Really ?
My 11 yo son thinks its lame the way its dumbed Down.
I only saw about 1 min where one of the heroes had a laser slingshooter in his armband (i pressume it was in an armband)
Chewie had a laser crossbow and wore an ammo belt for it.
Star Wars has never been particularly brainy sci-fi.

Same with 40Jr. He likes the Legos too.
Did anyone else watch the hour long "Siege of Lothal" episode which served as a setup for season 2?
I thought it was pretty darn good especially with Vader taking a prominent role in the show and it was nice to see Lando reappear even if briefly. IMDB gives the episode a score of 9.3 which is pretty accurate IMHO.
