Hmmm, Khajiit will try this later!

I use Fraps for taking screenshots in all my games

Oh ok! It's a free download, yes?

yes

Awesome

Season 4 will be the last season of Rebels. Dave Filoni said it will take us right up the events of Rogue One. Which I have to admit is the prefect place to tie things up and end the story.

But it does make me wonder what will be next? They have had a team in place for over a decade doing animated Star Wars - first The Clone Wars, then Rebels. So I don't think Disney is going to squander that talent it let them all just go on to other things. Especially since Rebels is ending by choice, not because it got cancelled due to poor rating. Since there is money to be made in Star Wars anime, Disney is not going to miss out.

So they are probably already working on ideas for the next animated series. They may have even picked what they are going to do and started the early work on it. I have been thinking about it, and wondering what they might do.

I think what I would like to see most is a series set between the novel Bloodline and The Force Awakens. Bloodline ends with barely a glimmer of the First Order being out there somewhere beyond the map edge. While in TFA they are clearly a deeply entrenched force in the known galaxy. There is a huge gap in between. A new animated series could show us what happened in that gap.

But I am not sure if they will do that. It would mean making Leia a central character, which I don't think they want to do. The same with Poe Dameron, and possibly Finn. Animated Star Wars has tended to shy away from the central characters of the films, with the giant exception of Anakin. Other than him we have only seen one episode of Rebels with Leia, and one with Lando. Obi-Wan plays a large part in The Clone Wars, but then he was not really a central character in the original movies. He was just the wise old mentor supporting Luke. He had a bigger part in the prequels. But then, who really wants to remember them?

Something else I would like to see is a show set in the earliest days of the Empire, revolving around smugglers, bounty hunters, and the Underworld. I love the Clone Wars and Rebels episodes that focus on that seamy underbelly of the galaxy. We could see an older Boba Fett and his crew. Maybe Cad Bane, and how he 'retires' (given that there is no mention of him by the Rebels era, I suspect someone killed him. Probably Boba Fett.) Embo is always cool to see, and who can pass up a chance to have Hondo on screen again? It might have Prince Xizor's rise to power in the Black Sun and Jabba's rise in the Hutt Clans. Maybe even have a one episode cameo with a young Han Solo and Chewbacca.

Khajiit would pee his pantaloons if they would do a show set in the Mandalorian Wars era Old Republic. This one is thinking an animated series might be the best medium for that. Ooh! Maybe it could initially follow a young Mission Vao as she follows Grif around before he finally ditches her on Taris. Then she meets up with the survivors of the Endar Spire. This way we could see the main story of KotOR without having the amnesiac Revan as the main character! Khajiit thinks it could work!

I don't think this is really too spoilery. In The Clone Wars tv show Sidious was trying to get his hands on the list of force sensitive children in the galaxy, as well as kidnap some of them to experiment on. I forget if he actually got the list of not. If so, he had plenty of candidates to choose from. But he also may have been training his inquisitors before the Clone Wars even took place. Dooku might have been training them before the war as well.

The Grand Inquisitor himself was a former Jedi, and guardian of the Jedi Temple. Some of the other inquisitors might have been fallen Jedi or Padawans as well. Which makes for a quick way to stock the Inquisition.

Wasn't Ventress or someone trying to kidnap force sensitive children in The Clone Wars? Or was it Cad Bane?

It was Cad Bane. He stole the holocron with the list of children, and kidnapped some of them and took them to Mustafar.

Who was he working for in that mission? Sidious?

Yes, Sidious hired him to do both.

Well given that it's not a huge leap to suppose Sidious actually found some Force Sensitives on his own and trained them to be the Inquisitorious.

If they were going to do something with that era, I'd like to see two series: the first following Malak through the Mandalorian Wars, the second centering on Bastila for the Jedi Civil War. Malak would give us a good view of the Mandalorian Wars without having to step into Revan's shoes, and Bastila's story from KotOR is more coherent than Revan's, since she doesn't have amnesia to deal with and was involved from the start.

And, of course, we'd have to see something from Trask Ulgo!

Heh, right up until the point he's killed by the most unimpressive Dark Jedi ever!

Yes, that's right. Khajiit is revoking his Darth status on the grounds that he was never worthy of the title!

I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to disagree with your claim that Bandon was the most unimpressive dark jedi ever. Khan's Brotherhood of Darkness(from Path of Destruction) was full of far less impressive wielders of the dark side, who didn't even try to claim the title of Darth.

Hmm, Khajiit never read that. They were so incompetent it basically proved to Bane that the Sith were better off with the Rule of Two, right?

Their leader was influencing all their minds, turning the Sith into a cult of personality where everyone was supposed to be equal(hence the rejection of the "Darth" title), though some were more equal than others, and they all followed his lead. The Rule of Two came partly from his training with the Brotherhood on Korriban, partly from the study of the archives there, and partly from his time studying Darth Revan's holocron.

I'd recommend the first book of the Darth Bane trilogy, Path of Destruction, but I'm not so much of a fan of the latter two.

Khajiit has a question about The Clone Wars.

The Palpster was at the trial. But I don't think he ever saw Ahsoka as a tool he could use. I think he was focused solely upon Anakin. Her leaving the Jedi Order (and thusly leaving Anakin), was a big triumph for him. It removed one of Anakin's greatest sources of emotional and moral support, and made him much more vulnerable to falling to the Dark Side. So I think if Palpatine had a choice, he would want Ahsoka as far away from Anakin as possible.

And honestly, I just don't ever see Ahsoka falling, under any circumstances. Like Obi-Wan, she was just made of sterner stuff. Palpatine never appears to have considered trying to turn Obi either.
