Star Wars: Resistance (New Animated Series)

Announced on StarWars.com, a new animated series is coming to the Disney Channel this fall, Star Wars: Resistance.

Here's a snippet from starwars.com about the new show:

"production has begun on Star Wars Resistance, an exciting new animated adventure series about Kazuda Xiono, a young pilot recruited by the Resistance and tasked with a top-secret mission to spy on the growing threat of the First Order"

Resistance is set in the era just prior to Episode VII: The Force Awakens and along with plenty of new characters, will feature some familiar faces as well; like BB-8, Poe Dameron, and Captain Phasma.

Fans of previous Star Wars animated shows The Clone Wars and Rebels will also be thrilled to know that Dave Filoni will also be at the helm of Resistance.

Kingdom Hearts III (D23 Expo Japan Trailers)

New footage and theme song to the very long awaited for Kingdom Hearts III has been revealed at D23 Expo Japan.

Of course the game is still in production, so audio is in Japanese, but according to SquareEnix we will be seeing Kingdom Hearts III before the end of 2018.

Kingdom Hearts III theme song has been revealed to be "Don't Think Twice" by Hikaru Utada.

Time may finally be upon us to bust out the other Kingdom Hearts installments to refresh our memories of what all has happened.

Are you guys/gals excited for Kingdom Hearts III? Or has too much time passed for you to really care anymore?

Recap: Star Wars: Rebels NYCC Panel

Here's a quick run down of the Star Wars: Rebels panel from NYCC 2013; but first we'd like to thank the following people for live tweeting the event and providing us with this valuable information!

• Amy Ratcliffe
• Aaron Goins
• Rebels Report
• Stitch Kingdom

Highlights

• Rebels premiere is still about a year out; will premiere with an hour-long episode on Disney Channel and then move to half hour segments over on Disney XD.
• Simon Kinberg is writing the hour long premiere episode.
• Dave Filoni was not in attendance due to the fact that he is in Asia working with the animation team.
• Rebels will take place 14 years after Revenge of the Sith.
• The planet Lothal will be one of the principal locations for the show.

• Animation style is distinct enough that they were unable to reuse anything from The Clone Wars. (Which is okay since we weren't really a fan of the animation style.)
• Episodes will be shown in chronological order and follow the same group of characters. (Looks like the SW franchise is finally trying something new here.)
• Stormtroopers will not be Clones! They instead will be regular citizens who "volunteer" to join the Imperial forces.
• Some Clones will go on to train the new Stormtroopers while others will be disgruntled; per Lucas' notes.

• No confirmation on who, but some TCW characters will make appearances; were questioned specifically about Ahsoka, but received no answer.
• Series will focus mainly on the Empire and struggling Rebel forces, there will also be a prominent Bounty Hunter presence and limited Jedi (who are still being hunted by the Empire).
• New Villain! The Inquisitor! Hired to help hunt down Jedi in the name of the Empire.

• No soundtrack has been announced, however Dave Filoni does listen to specific John Williams tracks while animating.
• Rebels is being developed much quicker than TCW because of the team's past experience on TCW.
• A great deal of Rebels is being based off the work of Ralph McQuarrie.

Now let's be honest here, if Disney started to redo their films with awesome Sci-Fi twists like this, we'd all watch them.
