Rebels Recon #7: Inside "Empire Day"
von Star Wars

Veröffentlicht am 17.11.2014
In Rebels Recon #7, StarWars.com talks with the creators of the Star Wars Rebels episode "Empire Day,"
examines the animation process, and shows a special preview of “Gathering Forces.”

"Empire Day" finds Ezra troubled during Jedi training.
He is unable to let go of a deep anger reinforced by the holiday – which is also his birthday.
The Ghost crew bombs a TIE prototype at an Imperial parade,
and a long lost friend named Tseebo may know what happened to his parents.
But the Inquisitor and the Empire are closing in…

At the Art and Science of Lucasfilm panel in partnership with the San Francisco Film Society Education,
Keith Kellogg, animation supervisor, discussed the process of bringing characters to full animated life.
First, they create a full skeleton and create real joints. A
nimators pull on these joints to move the characters; this is tested by manipulating different body parts, facial features, walking, and running.

In this week’s deep dive, Lucasfilm’s Andi Gutierrez talks to executive producer Dave Filoni about how the average citizen feels about Empire Day.
“One thing I know,” he says, “is that at the end of the Clone Wars, the Empire was a celebrated thing.
But over time, it becomes clear that the Empire is representing fear.”
Pablo Hidalgo of the Story Group adds that many in attendance at the Lothal parade were there because they had to be.

As for the parade, it was an interesting look into life under the Empire, and one that was carefully considered.
“It was a challenging scene to do,” Filoni says. “…I don’t think our rebel crew would’ve wanted to actually hurt any of the bystanders there.
But they are trying to just display that the Empire doesn’t have as much control as they would like everyone to believe.”

For this week's Twitter question, @eleventhirtyate asks if mynocks and fyrnocks are related.
Hidalgo says that they are not, but explains where the fyrnock comes from…

Rebels Recon #8: Inside “Gathering Forces”

In Rebels Recon #8, StarWars.com interviews the cast and creators of Star Wars Rebels about the episode "Gathering Forces,"
features highlights from a fan Q&A, and shows a special preview of “Path of the Jedi.”

Picking up where “Empire Day” leaves off, “Gathering Forces” finds the Ghost crew pursued by the Inquisitor.
During the chase, Ezra grows angry with his old family friend Tseebo, who may have answers as to the fate of Ezra’s parents.
Later, Ezra does confront his fear and connects with the Force; but during a confrontation with the Inquisitor, he unknowingly embraces the power of the dark side.

At the Art and Science of Lucasfilm panel in partnership with the San Francisco Film Society Education,
executive producer Dave Filoni discussed why his team created the Star Wars Rebels series.
“We all kind of felt pretty strongly that in George [Lucas]’ absence,” he says,
“as we were moving on with the company and he wasn’t, that we shouldn’t make that story anymore about Clone Wars without him…

We thought we’d tell the story about rebels.” It also allows them to put some humor into the series,
with the heroes a little more fun and on the run from the villains.

In this week’s deep dive, Lucasfilm’s Andi Gutierrez talks to associate producer Carrie Beck about creating villains, particularly the Inquisitor.
“It’s important to understand,” she says, “what their ideology is.”
Filoni says that the voice provided by Jason Isaacs for the Inquisitor is essential.
“Jason does such a fantastic job at being this guy,” he says,
“and bringing a calmness to his evil, an intellectual aspect to his evil, that we haven’t really had before.”

The Story Group’s Pablo Hidalgo explains that there is a parallel between the Inquisitor in Rebels and the villains of the old Star Wars role playing games.

“Gathering Forces” delves more into Ezra’s backstory, but voice actor Taylor Gray says he’s been kept in the dark.
“I’m lucky to get anything that’s even in the episode,” he reveals.
Filoni explains that there is an overall outline for their characters, they’re “open to opportunities that come along the way.”

For this week's Twitter question, @jonmauer_power asks about why Kanan seems overpowered by the Inquisitor…

Rebels Recon #9: Inside “Path of the Jedi”

In Rebels Recon #9, StarWars.com interviews the cast and creators of Star Wars Rebels about the episode "Path of the Jedi,"
features a behind the scenes look at the show's editorial process, and shows a special preview of “Idiot's Array.”

In "Path of the Jedi” Ezra and Kanan embark on a quest to find a hidden Jedi Temple and undergo an essential rite in Jedi training,
one that will test their resolve and convictions.

Together, master and padawan move forward in their journey thanks to insight from a distant Jedi Master.
Upon the completion of the harrowing trial, Ezra receives a small Kyber crystal and is able to construct his own lightsaber.

Star Wars Rebels Editors Alex McDonnell and Joe Elwood give an inside look at their work on the show.
"It's an Editor's job to be the spokesperson for the audience," says McDonnell of their role in the production process,
and discusses the emotions that editors can create by using varying angles and pace.
Elwood adds that when looking at an episode as a whole, the biggest part of their job is to connect the story points and "make sure everything makes sense."

In this week’s deep dive, Lucasfilm’s Andi Gutierrez talks to associate producer Carrie Beck and the Lucasfilm Story Group's Pablo Hidalgo
about Jedi Temples and their function as a center of the Force.
“We've seen a couple in Clone Wars,” he says says, “so we know that there are other temples scattered throughout the galaxy.”
When discussing Ezra's trial within the temple, Beck emphasizes that "the temple environment is responsive to who you are,"
and adds that this reflects Luke's trial on Dagobah.

“Path of the Jedi" marks the symbolic return of Jedi Master Yoda, voiced by the character's original voice actor Frank Oz,
which Executive Producer Dave Filoni calls "a great thrill."

For this week's Twitter question, @ericgeller asks about the Imperial Army.

Scoundrel School: Lando Calrissian Returns in Star Wars Rebels

Veröffentlicht am 12.01.2015
The original smooth-talking smuggler, Lando Calrissian, returns in the Star Wars Rebels episode “Idiot’s Array.”
In this special behind-the-scenes video, the creators of Star Wars Rebels, and Lando himself – Billy Dee Williams – discuss bringing the fan-favorite character back to a galaxy far, far away.

“He’s cooler than Han Solo,” says executive producer Dave Filoni. “He’s a little older, he’s a little wiser than Han.”
And Williams still enjoys bringing the character – and his more playful traits -- to life. “It’s the smile, the charm. I have a good time with it.”

In “Idiot’s Array,” Lando is younger and still a scheming smoothie. “This was a real good introduction to who he is,” Williams says.
Indeed, Lando hails from the “scoundrel school,” as CG supervisor Joel Aron puts it. But his story here points toward the true hero he will become.

“Billy’s so great, and Lando’s such a great character,” Filoni says.
“It is a time period where we can explore a little bit more of what he’s up to, and what influence he has on our rebels.”

Rebels Recon #10: Inside "Idiot's Array"

Veröffentlicht am 19.01.2015
In Rebels Recon #10, StarWars.com goes behind the scenes of the Star Wars Rebels episode "Idiot's Array"
for the inside scoop on Lando Calrissian's return and much more.

"Idiot's Array" finds Zeb in a high-stakes game of sabacc with a mysterious smuggler. His name: Lando Calrissian.
Zeb bets -- and loses -- Chopper, but Lando agrees to return the droid and pay the Ghost crew for passage past Lothal's Imperial blockade.

The slippery Calrissian seemingly double crosses the team, turning Hera over to the gangster Azmorigan in exchange for a puffer pig;
but when Hera escapes, the smooth-talking scoundrel says it was all part of his plan.
Ultimately, Lando returns Chopper, and the crew realizes the the astromech is an essential part of the team.

This week, the Recon team completes their visit with the Star Wars Rebels editorial department, learning how sounds and visuals come together for a final episode.
"The editorial department is kind of the gatekeeper for the entire show," says editor Joe Elwood. "We touch every aspect."
Every single aspect of the show comes through editorial, and Elwood illustrates how various elements -- from rough animation to sound
to final animation -- are layered and combined to bring a scene to life.
Episodes go through different phases, including story, layout, animation, and lighting, before all work is done.

In this week's deep dive, Lucasfilm's Andi Gutierrez speaks with the Star Wars Rebels team about bringing back a certain ol' smoothie.
"I think you have to remember that the Lando that you see in "Idiot's Array" is very much a smuggler and a schemer," associate producer Carrie Beck says.
The Story Group's Pablo Hidalgo agrees, saying that this younger Lando "has a lot of irons in the fire."
And when it came to the voice of the character, there was really only one option.

"Lando's so charismatic and his personality is so defined by his voice," Hidalgo says,
"that you couldn't not have Billy Dee [Williams] in it." In "Idiot's Array," Lando wins Chopper in a game of sabacc -- which is finally established canonically.
Executive producer Dave Filoni turned to Hidalgo, who defined the rules and supplied original cards to concept artist Amy Beth Christenson.

For this week's fan question, Jacob Lockett asks about where Kanan got his lightsaber crystal…

Rebels Recon #11: Inside "Vision of Hope"

Veröffentlicht am 02.02.2015
In Rebels Recon #11, StarWars.com goes behind the scenes of the Star Wars Rebels episode "Visions of Hope”
– and features a preview of next week’s installment, “Call to Action.”

"Visions of Hope” finds Ezra growing stronger with the Force. His lightsaber skills have improved,
and during a training session, sees a vision through the Force.
In it, he sees Gall Trayvis, who says he knew Ezra’s parents.
Ezra interprets his vision literally, and as a result, leads his friends into a trap.
They manage to escape, and Ezra learns to be more cautious.

This week, the Recon team talks Lucasfilm’s Joel Aron and Chris Voy about lighting in Star Wars Rebels.
"Lighting is something that needs to be thought of…from the very beginning to the very end of it," says CG supervisor Joel Aron.
"Because we as humans react to shapes." Chris Voy, lighting concept artist, says that they look at storyboards to uncover places
where lighting and color can play up emotional moments. “There’s no accidental lighting,” Aron adds.

In this week's deep dive, Lucasfilm's Andi Gutierrez speaks with the Star Wars Rebels team about Gall Trayvis -- senator turned Imperial.
"When the idea of the character came together,” the Story Group’s Pablo Hidalgo says, “that dynamic was in place.”
Executive producer Dave Filoni says that it worked from a character perspective, too, as Ezra would be looking for a parental figure.
He also kept the cast in the dark about Trayvis’ true nature,
as voice actress Vanessa Marshall reveals that she had no clue that the senator would lay a trap for the team.

For this week's fan question, Brian asks is “Idiot’s Array” takes place before or after Lando lost the Millennium Falcon to Han…

Rebels Recon #12: Inside "Call to Action"

Veröffentlicht am 09.02.2015
In Rebels Recon #12, StarWars.com goes behind the scenes of the Star Wars Rebels episode "Call to Action,”
with creator interviews and much more!

In "Call to Action,” the notorious Grand Moff Tarkin comes to Lothal, planning to deal with the Ghost crew personally.
Meanwhile, Kanan plans a different kind of attack against the Empire:
to take control of a communications tower and broadcast an anti-Imperial, pro-rebel message.

They’re ultimately successful, but the Inquisitor and Tarkin take Kanan captive in the resulting battle.

This week, the Recon team wraps up their look at lighting in Star Wars Rebels.
In this episode, Tarkin’s arrival at Imperial HQ was lit to match the Emperor’s landing and descent on the Death Star in Return of the Jedi.
“Very hard, top-down lighting,” CG supervisor Joel Aron points out.
The lighting at the end of the episode, with the sun rising, was meant to convey a sense of optimism.
“We wanted to represent the fact that the message…does in fact get out,” lighting concept artist Chris Voy says.

In this week's deep dive, Lucasfilm's Andi Gutierrez speaks with the Star Wars Rebels team about the return of Grand Moff Tarkin.
For Freddie Prinze, Jr., the voice of Kanan, it’s a special event.
"You gotta undertand,” he says. “When you’re a kid and this is all you know, it means a lot to you.”

Stephen Stanton, who voiced Tarkin in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, returns to the role for Star Wars Rebels.
“I was absolutely just bowled over,” he says of being asked to come back. It’s a particularly fun role for Stanton, as Tarkin is hugely powerful at this point,
and everyone – heroes and villains – fear him. “There’s something that’s so terrifying about a severe British man,”
Lucasfilm’s Pablo Hidalgo confirms.

For this week's fan question, Mr. Charbits asks whether Agent Kallus knew that Senator Gall Trayvis was working for the Imperials…

Veröffentlicht am 23.02.2015
In Rebels Recon #13, StarWars.com goes behind the scenes of the Star Wars Rebels episode "Rebel Resolve,”
with creator interviews and much more!

In "Rebel Resolve,” the Ghost crew struggles to find intel on where the Empire is holding Kanan.
Ezra makes a risky deal with Vizago, and learns that the Empire is using courier droids to relay information from the ground to orbiting ships.
In a desperate mission, Chopper goes undercover as an Imperial droid and discovers where Grand Moff Tarkin plans to take their friend: Mustafar.

This week, Lucasfilm’s Andi Gutierrez talks with the Star Wars Rebels cast and crew about the new story developments in “Rebel Resolve,”
including Vizago learning that Kanan is a Jedi. “I wouldn’t trust Vizago,” the Story Group’s Pablo Hidalgo says.
“But what exactly he’s going to do with [that info], I don’t know.”
Series executive producer Dave Filoni agrees that disclosing that information was a risky move on Ezra’s part.

“There is a price on the head of a Jedi, certainly Kanan’s,” Filoni says,
“and now he knows Ezra is a Jedi, as well. So, you just don’t want people to know that.”

In speaking with Vanessa Marshall, voice of Hera, Gutierrez asks if the Twi’lek made the right choice in putting the mission before her friend.
“I think Hera made the right choice because it’s better to save many lives as opposed to one.
When it’s time to make the big decision, like she did, you have to keep on track. It was hard, though.”

And what will become of the Imperial courier droid that Chopper…disposed of?
It’s not dead, Filoni says, but unfortunately, its battery will probably run out.

For this week's fan question, David Daut asks why Jedi are treated as fairy tales, and SW Rebels FanPage asks if Cham Syndulla is related to Hera…
