Shameless opportunism? Us? Nah, we were just so excited to get Jerry back on the podcast because Star Wars Rebels is a genuinely great franchise spin-off show and, as Jerry goes into exhaustive detail about, evidences a good approach for dealing with a universe this large. By offering a premise with original characters with no significant ties to established figures the show is free to play around in this fantastical setting, giving the audience a chance to invest in a story that will surely come to prominence on its own merits.

The recently cancelled CG Clone Wars cartoon caught our interest recently and in turn brought our thoughts back to Genndy Tartakovsky's 2003 adaptation where it all began. Tartakovsky and his collaborators bring their flair for character design and action sequences beautifully into the Star Wars universe, leading to some exhilarating and perhaps fantastical set pieces. Continuity fans beware however as Jerry sets us straight on how the show has played havoc with the carefully established Star Wars chronology.

This never happened.

Arc Troopers are probably real though.
