I have no idea what you're talking about.

That's really disappointing, loved him in Road Warrior

 

[Freddy=Legend]

Wait so everyone is reprising their roles? Even Anakin???

Also, those action figures look really weird.

Willing to bet it'll be Matt Lanter voicing Anakin.

They showed Matt Lanter in the video I believe.

 

[meltingparappa]

Those gradients are an inspiring new low for what's meant to be professional-caliber artwork.

 

[gutshot]

Me: *reading through the bullet points*

This sounds pretty cool. Something both me and my kids would enjoy.

Me: *seeing the screens from the shorts*

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Also, those action figures look really weird.

Its a pretty popular 'style' these days

 

[Pie and Beans]

I'd rather they just did hands moving the action figures around with VA than pretend that level of animation and art is anywhere near what DISNEY should be comfortable putting out. Why even bother at that point.

 

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

Great initiative but that art style...
Rei looks okay but Leia really doesn't. And poor Chewbacca.
I hope it'll make a better impression in motion. DC Super Hero Girls looks a lot better.

Also, those action figures look really weird.

They're meant to be half doll to appeal to the audiences that would traditionally buy Barbies and Bratz dolls.

Ahsoka's got a long span of time between Clone Wars and Rebels to fill in. Her being in this doesn't really tell us anything about her fate post-Rebels.

You could say there's enough there for a spin off, but Disney relegates her to this fluff, which they know I'll watch...the sneaky bastards.

She's using two green sabers, so that takes place during the Clone Wars.

Pay close attention to her outfit. Looks like her story will take place not long after she left the order.

Yeah, I just noticed this after I came back in and the images loaded. I'm annoyed, but more Ahsoka is always good.

She's such an interesting character, I really wish they'd do more with her. Distinctive look, style, fighting style and trained under both Anakin and Obi Wan. Frustrating she hasn't been able to break out into live action or get her own animated movie

Hayden Christensen would kill for a gig like this these days. Hell he wanted to voice Anakin in the clone wars but they never even asked him.

 

[Elandyll]

On one hand it's a good initiative...

Otoh the cynical in me can't help think it's an effort that's entirely marketing led and not about "doing the right thing", after a report came back to a Disney exec, saying that the SW universe was leaving money on the table by not appealing enough to the 6-12yr old girl demo.
Exec: this shall not do, we're Disney and we know Princesses and positive girl power image. Wait... Can we do this on the cheap and still make boatloads of money on dolls?

 

[Whompa02]

Wish the art style looked better than what I deposited in the toilet last night.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

I have no idea what you're talking about.

It looks like diet-Archer but the premise is dope so I dunno.

 

[Sephzilla]

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Those salty sexist tears.

DRINK IT IN MAAAAAAAAAN

 

[Omadahl]

Chewie looks like a tamarin monkey.

 

[brawly]

Will there ever be a blonde?

 

[Jezan]

What's with the horrible art style? Looks cheap af, Is that kind of animation cheap?

 

[Miles Quaritch]

I have no idea what you're talking about.

What?

People who say shit like this are weird. Having one extra woman in a lead role means it's no longer accessible for them?

The movies, shows, etc pretty much all related media is still almost entirely male focused. The fuck are these people even complaining about. Do they seriously need all male leads to get any kind of enjoyment?

 

[UberLevi]

It's unfortunate that the art style looks ripped out of a cheap coloring book.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

Definitely down for it, but yeah, the art could use a bit of a uh... existing budget?

 

[SapphiCine]

That art style looks cheap as fuck.

Those dolls/figures are disappointing too.

 

[The Shadow]

Star Wars continually triggering MRA'S.

I'm loving it.

Ditto.

My daughter loved TFA and it's genuinely awesome having a hugely popular franchise that isn't directly or indirectly aimed at males only.

 

[jacob armitage]

Pretty damn awesome!

 

[HStallion]

Looks cool and I'm glad its pissing off MRA's but man that art style screams Bratz dolls. Why can't someone let Genndy Tartakovsky make another Star Wars cartoon series?

 

[MrBadger]

I have no idea what you're talking about.

these people really have no self awareness whatsoever...

 

[shingi70]

Looks cool and I'm glad its pissing off MRA's but man that art style screams Bratz dolls. Why can't someone let Genndy Tartakovsky make another Star Wars cartoon series?

Well that's the point that style of doll is really.popilar right now.

 

[Guy.brush]

Nailed it. That diorama looks like a 2001/SW crossover.

Spoiler

WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOUR FACE??!

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Those dolls/figures are disappointing too.

Honestly there are a million regular figures of each of those characters for those of us that don't like them.

 

[SeanC]

Cool that sounds an awesome idea for a new line and...

...oh...oh no...

Well...at least the women are getting a solid 79.5% effort on their new line.

 

[shingi70]

Hopefully this means we will get figures for Hera, or Rae Sloane.

 

[Robdraggoo]

The Chewbacca doll reminds of one the bounty hunters from masters of the universe. Let me try and find a pic

 

[WillyFive]

Art is better than the TV show at least, but it's low budget-ness might hurt its look.

 

[Bronx-Man]

I have no idea what you're talking about.

I'd watch the fuck outta Luke reading Sister Outsider.

 

[- J - D -]

Looks extremely low-budget.

 

[Mr.Pig]

butwhy?.gif

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

I'd watch the fuck outta Luke reading Sister Outsider.

I mean Tweet the screen to Mark and you might just get him to, lol

 

[Lights and Waves]

Those screenshots...

 

[Faiz]

None of this really offends me as it's obviously not for me and nothing is happening to the stuff that IS for me, but does no one else feel this is just shy of "its for girls because it's pink" type marketing and design?

 

[bengraven]

This is incredible and awesome.

i need a daughter now since my son isn't that into Star Wars.

 

[HStallion]

Well that's the point that style of doll is really.popilar right now.

Yeah and it still butt ugly to look at.

 

[Briarios]

Concept great, art bad.

I just don't understand ... Anyway, I'm in for the story; I can scrub my eyes later.

 

[Dude Abides]

Interesting idea, although I'm not too excited about the notion that there was a side story that happened in the middle of TFA that just got left out of the movie.

The dolls look like the Team America puppets.

 

[pokeystaples]

Rey's staff looks cool af. The dolls are in a weird style for me, but I get that the style is hep now.

 

[Ocarina_117]

Man i was hyped for more Jyn and Ashoka until i saw the screens.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

Always cool with more Ahsoka.

 

[kunonabi]

eh, I'll watch the Padme and Leia shorts. Don't give a crap about the rest of them though.

 

[NastyBook]

Those screenshots...

Wheezing at the circulation desk, right now.

The art is definitely horrible. They can and should do better for these characters.

 

[Falchion]

Not a fan of that art style at all. Looks like Powerpuff Girls or something. I bet it was the cheapest option.
