[QUOTE=cqbcat;41168952]CW is Warner Bros. This shit is gonna be on ABC family.[/QUOTE] One-hour premiere on Disney Channel and then it's all the way on Disney XD.
[QUOTE=Zuimzado;41168928]How is having younger characters blowing through everything without any brakes? Especially with Star Wars, which has one of the most complicated EUs in the world.[/QUOTE] Lots of things will become broken like last time. You'll see...I'm rather strict with my starwars canon... This show would be something weird like...Asoka becomes Starkillers padawan...
Stupid disney can't resist kiddifying everything.
[QUOTE=Zuimzado;41168928]How is having younger characters blowing through everything without any brakes? Especially with Star Wars, which has one of the most complicated EUs in the world.[/QUOTE] star trek has by far more of a complicated universe, the thing JJ Abrams did was re-introduce the old cast with new actors and outcomes, the new star wars sounds like it'll just be new guys meeting old guys (harison ford is old now) and some stupid plot involving the empire, basically more of the same [editline]24th June 2013[/editline] the only good CW show in my book has been the genndy tartakovsky one, cas it was like samuri jack with lightsabers and had very awsome action
[QUOTE=Zuimzado;41168928]How is having younger characters blowing through everything without any brakes? Especially with Star Wars, which has one of the most complicated EUs in the world.[/QUOTE] I'm fairly sure they said that they're just going to ignore the EU

That people somehow have this stupid idea that just because it's Disney it's for kids when Disney has not only done mature movies, they've also done lots of stuff for TV that isn't that stupid Disney Channel stuff it's much easy to focus on? [QUOTE=carcarcargo;41169063]Stupid disney can't resist kiddifying everything.[/QUOTE] See what I'm talking about? If this was Nickelodeon/Cartoon Network doing the TV show, nobody would be complaining. It's this stupid stygma that's been associated with Disney that just because their main demographic is children that they can't do something that other people can enjoy. By saying that this is kiddifying Star Wars, you're forgetting that Star Wars isn't exactly the most MATURE AND COMPLEX series of movies out there- it's still a simple story of a hero that kids can understand and love. You're also forgetting that Disney is behind things like the recent Marvel movies (which, again, also have appeal for older people) and Pixar- and before you say that after Disney bought Pixar all their movies suck, the first movie released under the Disney Pixar banner was Ratatouille.
[QUOTE=cjone2;41167602]All I want from Star Wars movies (or other live action stuff) at this point is the theatrical versions of original trilogy on blu-ray I really couldn't give a shit about anything else. Not to say I wouldn't like there to be something good made I just have no expectations or hopes.[/QUOTE] I don't think they can since I heard George Lucas edited the master copies. He pretty much destroyed star wars from the core. [editline]24th June 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Zuimzado;41169248] See what I'm talking about?

Of course I'd still complain if it was Nickelodeon or Cartoon Network. Sure it was never adult but at the same time it's not meant to be just for kids either.
[QUOTE=laserguided;41163692]That sucks. Teenagers's life is pretty uninteresting.[/QUOTE] HAHAHAHAHA I FEEL BAD FOR YOU
[QUOTE=carcarcargo;41169273] What? Of course I'd still complain if it was Nickelodeon or Cartoon Network. Sure it was never adult but at the same time it's not meant to be just for kids either.[/QUOTE] And how does having younger characters immediately makes it a show for kids?
[QUOTE=Zuimzado;41169309]And how does having younger characters immediately makes it a show for kids?[/QUOTE] Because I want a mature show with mature characters for a mature audience such as myself
Darth Sally thinks she can get away with being such a bitch just because she's on the pep squad.

[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young_Jedi_Knights]Yeah, fucking Disney sticking kids into Star Wars where they don't belong.[/url] [QUOTE=Julz;41166757]The people who founded the Rebel Alliance weren't teenagers, they were two adults. Mon Mothma and Bail Organa. Even the movies confirm this, even though George Lucas likes to shit on the extended universe. Without the EU, Star Wars wouldn't have the popularity it does today.[/QUOTE] How does 'A show about this time period will have teenaged main characters' translate to 'They're going to retcon not one, but two movies oh my god'.

[QUOTE=Zuimzado;41167555]You guys do know one of the minds behind this is Greg Weisman, the guy behind Young Justice, which also had- GASP- teenagers as main characters? What's with this idea that "teenagers = shit TV" these days? How about you guys get your heads out of the CW and look at all the other TV shows that have teenagers as main characters and are still doing fine? Especially animated shows. I mean, jeez, Avatar: The Last Airbender had [I]kids[/I] as main characters and was really mature- why do people think that this animated show won't be mature? Because it's with Disney? Oh, grow up.[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure that they're criticizing the predictability of those shows. Shows that are aimed at a younger demographic tend to be predictable. You know for sure that the protagonists would have a happy ending. At worst, the important ones do die through implied death, only for them to shortly come back to life somehow.

Sure, it ends with a happy ending, but by that point it's not about the destination, it's the journey.
[QUOTE=O'Neil;41168380]No bueno, it steps on so much of the EU. Remember the established mandalorian lore before the cartoon? Maybe not because they were fairly...Mandalorian until they turned into a bunch of pacifist pansies they are now. Deathwatch was also meant to be defeated by Jango Fett, not sure if they mention that in the clonewars cartoons...do they?[/QUOTE] In actuality, the Deathwatch defeated Jango and his group by driving the True Mandalorians into a conflict with the Jedi. The Deathwatch most certainly survived into the Clone Wars. ' As for the pacifist New Mandalorians, they do not survive very long. The cartoon depicts the Deathwatch wrestle control of the system from them. The surviving pacifist Mandalorans were either arrested, killed or exiled. Following the collapse of the Deathwatch, the EU states that the newly formed Mandalorian Protectors swoop in and seize control, eventually siding with the Confederacy against the Republic and the Empire. To sum the three groups up: -New Mandalorians- Pacifist group that wants to be neutral in the war. They want to change the reputation of Mandalore as a war-mongering society. -Deathwatch- A group that aims to restore Mandalore to it's feared reputation by any means. Excessively brutal, violent and honorless. Viewed as oathless pirates by the True Mandalorian group and terrorists by the New Mandalorians. They are unaligned and hate both the Republic and the Confederacy. -True Mandalorians/Mandalorian Protectors- Two different organizations from before and during the Clone Wars respectively, aiming to restore Mandalore to it's former glory. Violent and prideful, they are highly traditional and follow rigid codes of honor. The Protectors gain control after the Deathwatch destroy themselves and the New Mandalorians. They favor the Confederacy and later the Rebel Alliance.
[QUOTE=Ganerumo;41164478]Everyone complains about disney buying star wars and watering it down but they bought Marvel too and this happened [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vK0FPtYTvY[/media][/QUOTE] Except The Avengers was shit, and that scene was extremely forced. Just because there was some blood in that scene doesn't make Disney edgy, gritty, or cool.
