General Kota is based on Zatoichi too. Freddie Prinz Jr. actually addresses this in a pretty cool way in a Q&A session, let me see if I can dig it up.

[edit] Can't seem to find it, its a group thing, Sam Witwer was there too. Basically IIRC FPJr says Kanan is basically drawing little to no inspiration from Kota, that they're both instead drawing from Zatoichi, but can see how young star wars fans who grew up and had Kota as their first introduction to the "blind swordsman" concept think Kanan is emulating Kota.

Every interview I've seen of Freddie Prinz Jr. for this proves that he is a huge nerd for Star Wars. And I think Witwer is too, and its great. More so Freddie, since I vaguely remember him being a teen heartthrob in the 90s.

Judging by the Star Trek fans and mods mentions, I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that it's kiddie diddling. How the hell that becomes eating asparagus, I dunno.

Yeah, they definitely have the look of the Mark 1s.

Y-Wings are just as fast as X-Wings. :colbert:

I hope this means we get to see Wishbones do something cool for a change.

What, explosions aren't cool enough for you? :colbert:

This was a random thought while watching Game of Thrones but Charles Dance (Tywin Lannister) would make a great Imperial Admiral type in the movies or his voice for this show.

Dance is my dream Tarkin, but he'd be good as pretty much any Imperial higher up.

Man am I sick of this nucanon Kyber crystal crap. It's like they saw the word once and couldn't stop using it. Oversimplifying the universe makes it less interesting. Not all crystals have to be the same. It's not an interesting spin to assert that the Death Star uses the same crystals. The specific name doesn't have to be repeated in every source of media ad nauseum.

Which would you rather have for your super science weapon of mass destruction, a normal focusing crystal or a crystal with a proven track record of high energy efficiency? Personally, I'd prefer the latter.

Also IGN says only 15 episodes for this season; bet we'll still get a too-long hiatus?

It is Disney, so that's a given. It could be 10 episodes and there would be weeks long breaks interspersed throughout.

Starting to see a wave of new behind-the-scenes videos across a few publications:

Wonder if we're leading up to a S4 premiere date announcement?

This is probably why, though S4 date announcement is probably not far away either:
