Cue two seasons that'll definitely be something to talk about, followed by an abrupt cancellation that incurs wrath from everyone. (https://twitter.com/Greg_Weisman/status/336490493133340672)
Hopefully it'll be good while it lasts. We haven't had a good Star Wars show since Tartakovsky Clone Wars.
The other Clone Wars series wasn't bad, it just had its continuity all over the place. I still love Star Wars, so I'm looking forward to this. So far Greg is said to be an executive producer, but I wonder how many episodes he'll write. And since this is Star Wars post-Disney, that hopefully means this will get a third season.
That being said, the so-called "Weisman Curse" is bullcrap, he worked on Max Steel and that managed to get a third season. Plus, he was only on W.I.T.C.H. for its second season so he only had one season that time. And then there's of course all the other shows he's written an episode or done other work for like Batman: The Brave and the Bold that managed to complete their runs. The "curse" is a joke. :D
He wasn't a producer for any of those, though. The "curse" is only meant to apply to the shows he had a particular hand on, not just the odd script or two.
The "curse" IS a silly phenomenon, since really, who does believe in curses? But it's sad to think that some great show he was involved with didn't get to run for as long as they could. Even Young Justice had potential for a third, stronger season.

So, in other words, we've never had a good Star Wars show. :>

Only if you're dumb enough to criticize a micro series for not having enough story and thought the new Clone Wars show could be better for that reason. :sly:
Good news for Star Wars fans. I'm guessing that Star Wars Rebels will be airing on Disney XD.
Too bad that Star Wars Detours has been delayed until ??? I was kind of looking forward to seeing that.

:srs:
Anyway, if it's both Weisman and Star Wars, I'll at least check it out. Hopefully he can learn from the mistakes of Young Justice.
What's Detours again?
And yes, let's hope Weisman + Star Wars is as great as we hope it is.

Those are just lame excuses on your part for the lack of actual good story and characterization, based on the general lack of talent that Gendy has at writing serious material. Its the same reason why SBT is complete shit.
Also, the Avengers micro-episodes, while not on par with the full episodes of the series, proved that you could have a decent story and tons of characterization in just 5-minutes at a time, so you really have no argument.

Clone Wars was serious? SBT was a monster-of-the-week show. It didn't need deep writing. There you go putting the wrong benchmarks of quality on the wrong shows. And I thought you said you never criticized SBT because of its story the last time we talked about it but now that's apparently the only reason that it's 'complete shit' this time? Nope, you're the only thing that's full of shit. You think that if an action toon does not have the same qualities BTAS does then it's bad but that's fucking stupid seeing how Genndy's shows aren't the same type of show Batman is. Actually point out the things that are wrong with GT's shows instead of that next time. ;)
To be fair, Lucas isn't really a great storyteller himself.

Don't go there here. :D Clone Wars still had a better writing than the last two Star Wars films though (I've never seen all of Episode 1)
I'll tune in, but Star Wars doesn't tend to attract much attention from me these days.
They should have given him an Indy show.

None of that argument even makes any sense. I never even mentioned BTAS, so I have no idea where you're going with that argument.
I never said that Clone Wars and SBT are crap because they aren't deep. I like plenty of things that have little to no depth. I don't like those shows because they are all flash and have zero substance (the same as Samurai Jack). I just find that boring. Personally I like a little bit more personality and actual entertainment value to what I watch. I suppose it doesn't take much to feed your mindless brain, though. :>
There comes a point where style can become substance like with Jojo's Bizarre Adventure though.
Also, since this is set between III and IV, we at least finally get to know the ending of a Greg Weisman show.
Weisman writing Palpatine.
Yes.

I thought you just said in this thread that SBT sucks just because of its story, not because it lacked personality. Stop pulling these arguments out of your ass. .3.
I can't pull an argument out of my ass when its not even an argument. I think you're just too stubborn to admit the fact that SBT and most other shit that you like flat-out sucks. :sly:

Introducing Chopper. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulIPyDqppfM)
He certainly seems like an interesting contrast to droids like R2. Should be a fun comic relief character.
The final episodes will air from February 19-March 5. (http://www.nickandmore.com/2018/01/20/star-wars-rebel-finale-set-for-march-5)
