from what i saw the models look like kids toys with the tiny torso but giant hands, heads, and feet.
When will we get a star wars that depicts a perspective from the Empire, or the supposed 'bad guys' side? Preferably from a stormtrooper or some low ranking member to show off the gritty side of star wars.
I mean its always about a morally correct smuggler or jedi. You know that behind those white faceless helmets, there is a person with a personality, a family, a history. And to see them be used as canon fodder without any intimate relationship with the audience is pretty depressing.

At least she's sensibly clothed.

I agree, I want a game or movie or tv show or something that captures this:

Is she the main character in this? Does that mean she will be in 99% of the scenes and all screen time?
Tie-fighters being agile as they were It's a little hard to believe they were caught by that, also being manned by the best pilots of the galaxy...

You will never get the gritty side of Star Wars other than maybe some comics because Star Wars makes more money selling merch to kids, and Disney is going to redouble those efforts. That's why there's almost entirely prequel based stuff ever since those came out. Because more kids have seen the prequels first.
Apocalypse Endor is the only comic I can think of that depicts only the Empire's side from a stormtrooper's perspective.
Deathstar novel shows the Imperial side, Rogue Squadron novels also somewhat dip into them.

Sadly wont ever happen because of the following:
1) Lucas
2) Disney
3) Shareholders
Star Wars has a lot of potential for the darker gritty side but the most we get is shit like Force Unleashed which dipped into it a bit but always came flying back to the corny light v dark crap.
Wish they'd expand on the lesser known characters or hell even some the more well known ones, we haven't had anything decent related to the Fett family since Bounty Hunter and that was awesome.

Seems like Star Wars can never catch a break to explore its full potential. Its free of Lucas but now Disney get to control everything about it.

Considering that they actively did Clone episodes in Clone Wars giving them A LOT of one-on-one time and usually those episodes showed the war through the Clone's eyes I'm pretty sure we get some Stormtrooper episodes. Hell even ones like the Umbara arc or even a flashback to the Raid on The Jedi Temple! Nothing would be seeing Rex and the 501st during Order 66.

There's a comic that deals with the Imperials in such a manner, sorta. It's called Starwars Empire and one of the story arcs focuses on an Imperial Officer who overcomes incompetent fellow Officers and surviving against the planet natives.

The empire series itself is great for that gritty stuff.

The Empire captured Abo on Naboo! Quick Genie make the Carpet into a X-Wing!

I hope SW:Battlefront will be awesome. I have high hopes for that.
Battlefront II's story was awesome for dipping into the gritty dark side of Star Wars.
The animation looks far better than The Clone Wars. Far more fluid in this, TCW felt jerky.

They did clone episodes though because the Clones were still good guys. I'd say at least for the first few seasons, we won't have any stormtrooper episodes unless its about some stormtrooper defector. Epsiodes where the bad guys were the protagonists were nonexistent in Clone Wars earlier seasons. Its possible later in the series if it follows a similar path of becoming darker as Clone Wars did though.
All things considered, that's some pretty animation.

I remain optimistic that Filoni and crew can deliver, I mean come on they got Young Justice and Gargoyles people working on it!
this make's me kinda of worried for Epsiode VII I don't want some cute'y crap I want a dark gritty 7/8/9 sure because If I don't feel like the main Villon/Sith lord is evil
Is The Clone Wars any good? Is it really more for kids? I really want to enjoy something Star Wars related outside of the original trilogy, but it's really hard.
The only things I've enjoyed are Shadows of the Empire on N64, Jedi Knight 2/Academy and Force Unleashed 1.

The first couple of series of the CG one are somwhat meh, but they really start to get good after that.
Clone Wars is great when you get to the third season and you get some of the Clone PoV episodes and the night sisters arc. The final season is quality entertainment
Most good Sci-Fi shows have a first mediocre season trying to find there footing and then make quality stuff
I did a Marathon of the entire series when it hit Netflix (Available in Canada and the US). The First 2 seasons were not as bad as I remembered.
Some of the ones on Netflix are 'directors cuts' having scenes not in the original releases. The only scene that I noticed was different was season 3 episode 2.
Ventress visaibily force pulls a clone onto her saber in full view kisses him on the cheek (helmet off) and drops him.
I'd be much more inclined to get back in the habit of watching Star Wars TV shows and movies if they made an adult gritty version of it. Preferably the imperial perspective. One can dream.
For now ill look at fan-made stuff

Too bad they murdered 1313, I was really looking forward to that. I know it's not a show but more adult themed Star Wars anything is good.

It's not too bad so far. I'm on episode 4. I can't believe they're actually killing people in this. I don't know why.

It really stops being a kids show after second season. It still has some elements that feel childish here and there (basiclly any episode with Jar Jar or droids as main characters) but the majority of the episodes aren't really meant for children.
