ForceCast #255: The Starkiller-Free Rebellion

Jedi Journals co-host Jay Shepard joins Eric Geller to discuss Star Wars Rebels from an Expanded Universe perspective. After another week of contemplating Lucasfilm's big TV announcement, we dig deeper into how it will affect the EU. Plus, we bring you the week's Star Wars news, from The Clone Wars award nominations to Celebration Europe II announcements.

Show Notes:

Discussion

• We return to the topic of Star Wars Rebels and analyze it from an Expanded Universe perspective. How will the series mesh with, reflect, contradict, or overrule the books, comics, and games that came before it? How will its themes intersect with those of the EU? Should we expect certain EU characters or plot lines to make appearances in Rebels?
