It’s official, the new series from Filoni and company is Star Wars Rebels, and production has already begun. A one hour special on the Disney channel will launch Star Wars Rebels in the fall of 2014, followed by the series on Disney XD.
The action-filled series is set between the events of Episode III and IV — an era spanning almost two decades never-before explored on-screen.Star Wars Rebels takes place in a time where the Empire is securing its grip on the galaxy and hunting down the last of the Jedi Knights as a fledgling rebellion against the Empire is taking shape. Details about the show are a closely guarded secret at this point.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. First Trailer

Call me intrigued. This trailer has caught my interest quite a bit, and I’ll be giving it a watch. I’m just a little put off by the young, rebellious, mouthy narrator — because she seems a tad bit the obligatory character — but I’ll keep my options open.
And Coulson’s alive. Worth the watch just for that.

Dracula First Trailer

How Bowie is this?
I’ve been a fan of Jonathan Rhys Meyers ever since he David Bowie-ed his way through Velvet Goldmine — if you haven’t seen that movie, you should. It’s a thinly disguised, sort-of bio of the Iggy Pop, David Bowie relationship during the height of Glam Rock…and besides JRM, it has Toni Collette, Christian Bale and Ewan McGregor, with McGregor in the Iggy Pop role. It’s also the movie that first earned McGregor his reputation for “showing it all”. Meyers was also the reason I religiously watched The Tudors. Even though I knew that series took some liberties with historical fact, Meyers, et al provided a fun and talented romp through Henry the VIII time. Plus it also starred Henry Cavill, our newest Man of Steel, and turned me into a fan of his as well. I was pretty happy when I found out Cavill was picked for MOS. All in all this is turning into a good fan year for me. NBC has just released the first trailer of it’s new tv show, Dracula, with JRM as the lead character. And yes I’m a Dracula fan. Bram Stoker’s novel turned me into a Victorian novel afficianado when I came to appreciate those Victorian writers’ flare for creating a particular kind of creepy atmosphere.

To kick things off, how about some reassuring news regarding Dark Horse Comics and Star Wars. According to Bleeding Cool, Star Wars will be with Dark Horse Comics for the entirety of 2014.
They will continue to make Darth Vader miniseries, Star Wars Legacy will remain an ongoing book and will alternate between artists every six issues and the mini-series based on George Lucas’ original drafts, The Star Wars, will have a radically different logo to differentiate it.
Star Wars artist Dave Dorman did a video interview with Slice of SciFi which you can watch here. Dave talks about how he got started and what he’s up to now. Continue Reading Around the Web…

Filoni: Abrams,Ahsoka and the Bonus Content
April 30, 2013 at 10:00 am | Posted in JJ Abrams, Star Wars, Television, The Clone Wars | Leave a commentTags: ahsoka, dave filoni, plo koon, Sifo-Dyas, usa today
In an exclusive to USA Today, Dave Filoni discusses TCW and the upcoming bonus content, particularly a tease regarding Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas and a Plo Koon arc.
“The Jedi have been fighting a war with an army that was commissioned by one of their own, Jedi Master Syfo-Dias, but who was Syfo-Dias, and what happened to him? The dark lord of the Sith has woven an intricate web to ensnare the Jedi, but it is not full-proof and sometimes a small clue, and a bit of chance, can lead to the unraveling of the best-laid plans.”
Filoni and his team are putting the final touches on the bonus content and he admits that it’s “bittersweet”, but they’re also pretty excited.
”They are easily some of the best things we were able to do, and I think we’re all glad we were able to finish them.”
Dave Filoni also has some advice for director JJ Abrams — be innovative.
“That’s kind of what we have that’s special, because we grew up with it, and if there’s one thing I learned from George it’s that you take that and you channel it forward into new exciting things the audience didn’t know possible, because that’s what Star Wars always did — it always moved forward.”

When initially announced, The Clone Wars: Episode Guide was going to have the first 100 episodes, however now it will have all 108 episodes from all five seasons. This is good news for fans and obviously it makes a lot of sense. Written by Jason Fry, you can look forward to this hardcover which hits stores June 3rd. Pre-orders are up on Amazon at a pretty cheap price, too.

We attended the fun at Planet Comicon in Kansas City, MO this years and I have to say, it was a blast. The two day event had a lot of guests including quite a few people from Star Wars. Geralyn and I browsed the con floor, talked with some of the celebrities and attended a few panels. For those who were not able to attend, you can find our coverage below.
