I suppose I should look harder to see if I DO get this channela nd just don't know it because before this announcement I had dignity, no kids, and never watched a Disney channel ever.

I have four kids, so one of the Disney channels (Disney, Disney Junior, Disney XD) is usually on at some point during the day, especially on the weekends.   

As long as Disney doesn't feel the need to work in some of their "disney talent" tween boys/girls in voice roles and/or singing/musical numbers, I'm thinking it will do OK.

Date: Sequels
Marry: OT
Kill: Prequels

Have to say with the $4.39/gal gas prices around here, I'm loving my Costco membership even more these days.

Last night's "I didn't really need it but can't resist the siren song of Costco" buy - giant 2.5 lb bag of M&Ms.  Mmmm...

I see that RS has high-res shots of Mission Series Wave 1.

I get what they are trying to do and I applaud Hasbro's effort in making figures more affordable again, but I'm still not buying them. I think I've hit my max for underarticulated versions of Anakin, Vader, Jango, etc no matter how nice they look.   

Oooh...  2013 SDCC Green Lantern 3.75" 4-pack..



A bit over priced compared to the 2-packs and the small stature of Dex, but I'll still be adding this to my BUY list.  I would have preferred to get a Sinestro Corps Sinestro first, but I understand why they are giving us GL Sinestro.  Still no sign of Hal in this line, though I've got a couple I can use as stand ins until they get Hal.

- Here's the list of who's left from the SDCC display - Hal, Tomar, Hannu, Isamot, Soranik, Bleeze, and Saint Walker.  Hopefully there is a Sinestro (Yellow), Sinestro (Green), Arkillo, Saphirre Carol, Indigo-1, and more on the way too!

Looks like I'll have to update my list...

- Here's the list of who's left from the SDCC display - Hal Jordan, Tomar Tu, Hannu, Isamot, Soranik, Bleeze, and Saint Walker. 

Hopefully there is a Sinestro (Yellow), Sinestro (Green) (done!), Arkillo (done!), Saphirre Carol, Indigo-1, and more on the way too!

New Animated Series Star Wars Rebels Coming Fall 2014

Production has begun on Star Wars Rebels, an exciting, all-new animated television series based on one of the greatest entertainment franchises of all time. Scheduled to premiere in fall 2014 as a one-hour special telecast on Disney Channel, it will be followed by a series on Disney XD channels around the world.

Leading the development of the series is a creative team of exceptional talent. Screenwriter/producer Simon Kinberg (X-Men: First Class, Sherlock Holmes, Mr. & Mrs. Smith) is an executive producer on Star Wars Rebels and will write the premiere episode. He is joined by Dave Filoni as executive producer, who served as supervising director of the Emmy nominated Star Wars: The Clone Wars since 2008. Executive producer Greg Weisman brings with him a wealth of animation experience with credits such as Young Justice, The Spectacular Spider-Man and Gargoyles.

Gary Marsh, president and chief creative officer, Disney Channels Worldwide, said, "The entire team at Lucasfilm has provided extraordinary creativity and innovation for over three decades, and we're thrilled to be bringing the expansive and imaginative world of Star Wars to Disney XD's viewers."

"I couldn't be more excited to explore new corners of the Star Wars universe," said Kathleen Kennedy, president, Lucasfilm. "I think Star Wars Rebels will capture the look, feel and fun that both kids and their parents love about Star Wars."

The action-filled series is set between the events of Episode III and IV -- an era spanning almost two decades never-before explored on-screen. Star Wars Rebels takes place in a time where the Empire is securing its grip on the galaxy and hunting down the last of the Jedi Knights as a fledgling rebellion against the Empire is taking shape. Details about the show are a closely guarded secret at this point.

Star Wars Rebels will be produced by Lucasfilm Animation, featuring many of the key talents that made Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Fans attending Star Wars Celebration Europe will be the first to get an exclusive look at the new series. Casting will be announced at a later date. More information about this developing project will be found on StarWars.com and on Facebook at facebook.com/starwarsrebels.

Really hoping that SDCC knocks the ball out of the park and gets us some wishlist figures this Winter/next Spring.  So tired of seeing the same figures over and over and over and over and over again on these lists (Kitster/Wald, Cliegg, Mosep, Doallyn, Slim Aloo, Toryn Farr, etc).

If SDCC once again gives us nothing new this year, there may be no point in doing the lists next year. 

Somehow that Toronto performance has me feeling a bit better. 

We may have gotten beat straight-up by the B'hawks in 5, but at least we didn't epic-collapse a three-goal third period lead and choke our series away.
