You know the A-wing is a fast interceptor. I'm saying supporting media was built up around these movies and was largely blessed by Lucas and they've decided they're going to reinvent the wheel by making the A-wing something that predates the X-wing rather than cutting-edge tech. It doesn't show up until ROTJ. It doesn't make any sense.

They have dudes working on the show like Pablo Hidalgo who wrote for the West End Games RPGS (which is largely responsible for the backstory we accepted as the canon back in the days) who are doing their damndest to bring in the good stuff from the old EU.

Also, the A-Wing being in pre-ROTJ was explained even pre-Disney as this guy http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/R-22_Spearhead appearing in stuff like X-Wing, Droids, etc.

It's nice that Rebels will now have at least 2 Rebel pilots besides the main crew who absolutely can't get smoked every episode. I still feel bad for the El Generico crew members with helmets over their eyes

I do like how Hobbie is still ever the pessimist. Just need to bring in Tycho and Janson now and my dreams of young Rogue Squadron can be true.

Nope, they're gonna bring back this guy

If you stop the new Rogue One trailer at 1:59, top of the screen between the near and far X-Wings, and undearneath a partially in frame Nebulon, is one of the Hammerhead corvettes

It would be pretty neat if they mentioned Phoenix squadron or something like "the empire has tightened security after what happened on Lothal"

Also, it'd be a great excuse for FFG to put the Hammerhead corvette into Star Wars Armada

"Hey did you guys hear about Sato's group? Yeah, they've kind of lost a LOT of pilots and capital ships this year..."

"oh yeah, they built their base on top of a laserproof monster nest huh?"

Id love a republic commando show but it's likely be Karen Traviss presents: the dumb rear end Jedi idiots who get saved by the smart, capable Mandalorians

Remembers last time Star Wars and singing were combined. *screams silently*

Bea Arthur singing the cantina theme is easily the least bad part of the holiday special imo

Just got out of Rogue One. For those curious, the Rebels stuff I noticed was
- A loudspeaker call for General Syndulla on Yavin
-I saw the Ghost in a space battle
-In the same battle, there was a Hammerhead Frigate


Also, it's a really good Star War. Go see it.

I couldn't help myself and moused over the spoilers. I'm trying to keep my personal hype at reasonable levels but that's really neat!
