Frank Oz returns to voice Yoda in Star Wars: Rebels - Polidicks

[QUOTE]Though Rebels takes place between the two Star Wars movie trilogies — a time when the few surviving Jedis are in hiding from the Empire — the 800-plus-year-old icon is drawn from hiding to offer counsel to fledgling Jedi knight Kanan and his new padawan, Ezra, on the remote planet of Lothal. The twist: He only “appears” as a disembodied voice. But what a voice it is. Frank Oz, who famously starred as the Yoda (in puppet and computer-generated form) in five of the Star Wars films, returns to the franchise for this episode. “I felt personally to keep Yoda as this disembodied thing it would confuse the audience less,” says executive producer Dave Filoni, who also directed the installment. “I didn’t want you to think Yoda could be teleporting from planet to planet.” Star Wars fans will notice several homages to the lore, including The Empire Strikes Back and the final episodes of The Clone Wars. “This is show is meant to fit in with everything that’s going on: Clone Wars, features, novels,” Filoni says. “We do a lot of work to make sure there’s continuity between these things now.”[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.tvguide.com/News/Yoda-Ret...l-1090906.aspx[/url] [video=youtube;HMUKGTkiWik]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMUKGTkiWik[/video]

The show is slowly starting to pick up the pace, I look forward to seeing what it does with the timeline. Hopefully it'll branch out into arcs and get the funding it used to. I know the team can create great things, as long as they have the resources.

This show has actually started out better than TCW and I'm actually impressed. Hopefully we get to see Trhawn.

is it actually any good? i mean it's on disney XD so i dont expect much....

Once season 2 begins, they'll probably be back into the swing of things, and I know they'll be going for a while with the new films coming out.

I don't know if this has been reported, but the creators of Rebels are planning to bring James Earl Jones back to do Darth Vader. Hopefully he becomes a permanent staple in the show; with new viewers more than likely young kids who never saw the original trilogy NEED to at least see Vader in action.
