Rebels Recon #2: Inside "Droids in Distress"

Veröffentlicht am 13.10.2014
In Rebels Recon #2, StarWars.com takes a deep dive into the Star Wars Rebels episode “Droids in Distress,”
talks with the show’s creators, and gives you a first look at next week’s episode, “Fighter Flight.”

Lucasfilm’s Andi Guiterrez catches up with executive producer Dave Filoni and the Story Group’s Pablo Hidalgo
to discuss the inclusion of a Star Tours-type vehicle and droid in “Droids in Distress,”
and speaks with Kilian Plunkett on designing R2-D2 and C-3PO to fit with Star Wars Rebels’ animation style.

“The Artoo that’s in Rebels is a little bit of a hybrid of all sorts of things,” Plunkett says.
And C-3PO has one major upgrade that differentiates him from the model seen in Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
Pat Presley, concept designer, says that bringing back classic Star Wars vehicles and imagery has been his favorite part of working on the show.

Tracked down in the hallways of Lucasfilm, Hidalgo answers a question submitted through Twitter:
Are stormtroopers actually clone troopers?

The answer: No – clone troopers age rapidly, and have been phased out.
Stormtroopers are recruits who are “loyal to the Empire.”

Star Wars Rebels: "Igniting a Legacy" Featurette

Veröffentlicht am 17.10.2014
Star Wars Rebels executive producer Dave Filoni and CG supervisor Joel Aron discuss how they created lightsabers that match the look of Jedi weapons from Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope.

As the time period for Star Wars Rebels is close to A New Hope, the show's creators wanted to match the visuals accordingly.
For Aron, this was especially important with the look of the lightsaber. "That's the one thing that represents being a Jedi," he says.
"I wanted the lightsaber to have that same type of feeling and energy it had in A New Hope."
Through extensive research, including conversations with original lightsaber creator Roger Christian, Aron figured out how the Jedi weapon was originally created.
As a result, Kanan's lighstaber blade closely resembles those found in the original Star Wars, from glow to a slight vibration.

"I have so much fun doing it and getting to kill those lines that I loved as a kid watching Star Wars."
Star Wars Rebels' place in the timeline is exciting for Prinze, too.
"It's definitely a show for everyone who loves that world," he says.
"Just that time period they put us in is so rewarding for fans of this franchise.
It puts you right where you want to be."

Neues zur dritten Folge:

Rebels Recon #3: Inside "Fighter Flight"

Schöne Sendung, bloß bisserl kurz

Veröffentlicht am 20.10.2014
Rebels Recon #3 features an in-depth look at the Star Wars Rebels episode "Fighter Flight,"
with a recap, cast and crew interviews, and answers to your Twitter questions -- plus an exclusive preview
of next week's installment of Star Wars Rebels, "Rise of the Old Masters!"

In "Fighter Flight," Hera sends the ever-bickering Ezra and Zeb
on a quality-time supply run -- which includes bringing back an impossible-to-find meiloorun fruit -- and the two have a run-in with some stormtroopers.
As a result, Zeb finds himself in the cockpit of a TIE fighter.

At New York Comic Con 2014, Vanessa Marshall (voice of Hera), talked about what her character brings to the Ghost crew,
which is on display in this episode. "I think what makes Hera so cool," Marshall says,
"is that she helps these characters discover things they didn't really know they had inside to get this job done."

The plot of "Fighter Flight" comes from a surprising source: Star Wars toys.
"The whole idea for "Fighter Flight," executive producer Dave Filoni tells Lucasfilm's Andi Gutierrez,
"was based around having a TIE fighter toy as a kid and putting heroes in it instead of villains...
I played out that scenario a hundred times as a child."
And the dynamic between Zeb and Ezra that's explored in the episode is key to defining their relationship.

"It's fun. I think of it as the whole big brother, little brother thing," says Taylor Gray, who plays Ezra.
Steve Blum, the voice of Zeb, explains that their friendship is growing -- and that he's fascinated by Ezra.
The episode also offers a new, close-up look at TIE fighters,
which Blum was especially excited to see -- and Filoni reveals the design inspiration behind Star Wars Rebels' TIEs.

Finally, the Lucasfilm Story Group's Pablo Hidalgo addresses a new fan question:
why does C-3PO have a silver leg in "Fighter Flight," when last we saw him in Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith, he was completely gold?

Star Wars

Rebels Recon #4: Inside “Rise of the Old Masters”

Veröffentlicht am 27.10.2014
In Rebels Recon #4, StarWars.com delves into the Star Wars Rebels episode “Rise of the Old Masters,”
with a synopsis, cast and crew interviews, and much more.

“Rise of the Old Masters” finds the Ghost crew on a mission to rescue Jedi Master Luminara Unduli from an Imperial prison.
But instead of Luminara, they find the Inquisitor waiting.
Kanan and the Inquisitor engage in an intense lightsaber duel, and the rebels barely escape the Imperial trap.

This episode features the first lightsaber duel of Star Wars Rebels, and the Jedi weapons seen in “Rise of the Old Masters” are special for many reasons.
The blades were designed to closely match the look of a lightsaber from one specific scene in A New Hope,
CG supervisor Joel Aron reveals to StarWars.com’s Andi Gutierrez.
“The shot that I referenced a lot was inside the cantina,” Aron says,
referencing the moment when Obi-Wan Kenobi stands with his lightsaber after an altercation.

Aron meticulously recreated the look of the laser sword in CG, using motion blur and other techniques employed in the original effect.
The Inquisitor’s lightsaber features two blades, and when in disc mode, can spin at a furious speed, making it an intimidating weapon.
Executive producer Dave Filoni calls it a “cheat mode” lightsaber – it can do things to make up for the Inquisitor’s lack of ability.

For this week’s Twitter question, @mrzehr asks, “How is the Inquisitor not a Sith?”
Pablo Hidalgo of the Lucasfilm Story Group explains that not all dark side users are Sith, and not all light side users are Jedi. “
There are multiple schools of skill out there,” he says.

Star Wars:

Rebels Recon #5: Inside "Breaking Ranks"

Veröffentlicht am 03.11.2014
In Rebels Recon #5, StarWars.com looks at the making of the Star Wars Rebels episode "Breaking Ranks,"
with an in-depth breakdown of the creation of an episode, interviews with the cast and creators, and more!

"Breaking Ranks" finds Ezra on an undercover mission at the Imperial Academy on Lothal, seeking to uncover an Imperial decoder.
While there, he befriends two fellow cadets who help him on his mission; in turn,
the decoder is essential for Hera and Kanan, who need it to disrupt an Imperial shipment.

At the Art and Science of Lucasfilm panel, the Star Wars Rebels team spoke with local students about creating an episode from start to finish.
Line producer Athena Portillo detailed the process, showing the evolution of "Breaking Ranks" from rough animatics to layout to post production.

In discussing "Breaking Ranks," Lucasfilm's Andi Gutierrez asks Taylor Gray, voice of Ezra,
if adult stormtroopers could complete the training in the Imperial Academy.
"No...I'm going to say they can't do half the things that they think they can," he jokes.

Executive producer Dave Filoni adds that clone troopers are more effective soldiers than stormtroopers;
clones are bred for combat, while stormtroopers have to serve.

He also reveals that the training grounds were based on the Kamino facilities seen in Star Wars: The Clone Wars,
as well as the bounty-hunter gauntlet from the episode "The Box."

Regarding the design of Star Wars Rebels' stormtroopers, Filoni says that the goal was to make them look familiar to what we've seen in the films.
While there was talk of having them appear closer to Ralph McQuarrie's stormtrooper designs,
it was decided that McQuarrie's conceptual versions were too different from the troopers' classic look.

For this week's Twitter question, @mike_audette asks a question regarding the Inquisitor's use of Luminara's remains
to draw Kanan into a trap in "Rise of the Old Masters": "How the heck can the Inquisitor do that with Luminara?! Are there more dead Jedi like that?!?"
Pablo Hidalgo of the Story Group fills in some of the backstory regarding Luminara, as well as what made Kanan think she was really still alive...

War ganz ok die Folge.

Aber allgemein haut mich die Serie jetzt nicht so wirklich vom Hocker. Fühlt sich zu sehr nach Clone Wars an, mit neuen Charakteren. Das sie auch komplett auf die alte Lore scheißen, macht das ganze nicht wirklich besser, eher im Gegenteil.

Und wieder Fernsehwerbetrailer,
man merkt, jede Sekunde kostet (es sind deren 48 oO)

[Trollchen]

Ich mag ja Clone Wars (abgesehen von Mr. Skywalker),
diese Serie werde ich aber wohl erst auf DvD dann sehen, hab kein pay tv.

Ansonsten kenne ich bloß die
Trailer Star Wars Rebels (Video)

und halt die Nachberichte hier. Ezra ist mir allerdings so unsympathisch wie Boba Fett als Junior.
Oder Anakin (wobei ich den in keiner Lebensphase mochte).

[Lancegrim]

Ezra geht eigentlich. Halbwegs lustig is nur der Droide find ich, und der kam bisher zu kurz.

Aber allgemein wirkt die Story und Inszenierung einfach so als hätte man das schonmal gesehen, nur eben mit anderen Figuren. Was irgendwie doof ist.

Pay TV hab ich auch nicht, aber gibt ja genügend Streaming Seiten ^^ Auf DvD kaufen werd ich mir die Serie sicherlich nicht, dafür gefällt mir einfach zu wenig daran. Es fehlt das gewisse "Etwas", bisher jedenfalls.

Star Wars
Rebels Recon #6: Inside "Out of Darkness"

Veröffentlicht am 10.11.2014
In Rebels Recon #6, StarWars.com talks with the creators of the Star Wars Rebels episode "Out of Darkness,"
looks at the character-design process, and shows a special preview of “Empire Day.”

"Out of Darkness" finds Sabine growing frustrated with Hera and Kanan’s secrecy.
The Mandalorian demands to accompany Kanan on a rendezvous with a mysterious contact,
but the two find that their meeting place is infested with deadly fyrnocks.
They escape, and Sabine learns to have faith in Hera’s leadership.

At the Art and Science of Lucasfilm panel, the Star Wars Rebels team spoke with local students.
Art director Kilian Plunkett showed the design process for Chopper and Kanan;
it begins with 2-D illustrations, and both characters went through significant evolutions.

Chopper originally had a very Artoo-like dome, and Kanan did not always have his trademark ponytail and goatee.
Sculpted maquettes finalize the process, showing how the character looks in three dimensions.

In “Out of Darkness,” Hera and Sabine take center stage.
Pablo Hidalgo tells Lucasfilm’s Andi Gutierrez that Hera is “the true believer of the show.
She has the absolute unquestioning faith in the cause of what they’re fighting for.”
Dave Filoni, executive producer, thinks she’s interesting because she’s a mother figure,
but also has a pilot’s swagger and toughness.

Sabine has her own strengths. “I think Sabine’s really good at thinking on her feet,”
says co-creator and associate producer Carrie Beck.
“While other people may get caught up in the moment…she’s able to dive in head first
and figure her way out of a situation.”
Hidalgo asserts that she’s also highly educated, and that will be explored.

For this week's Twitter question, @a_targaryen asks about what the Empire has in store for the kyber crystals it’s after.
Hidalgo says that as kyber crystals are used to focus energy to create a lightsaber blade,
giant kyber crystals could be used to create a very dangerous weapon…
