@RoninWC just checking you know this is just a fan casting? ie its not a real show?

Hahaha, no I didn't so clearly, fooled me.

@RoninWC I had to google to be sure as well, got excited for a few seconds.

If not official it will be a fan casting based on the obvious (Tem plays the Clones).
Crosshair looks very different to the standard Tem model, much slimmer. Even given a different (higher more cynical tone) voice.
Reportedly Tem is in Ahsoka as Captain Rex, a much different look.

@RoninWC but, IF it was a real show, "crosshair" is a clone so Tem would be playing him

Bad Batch are just that, a diffeent batch. The root clone may be the same but they look different to Jango.

@Crucial i always considered them to still be clones...just a bigger one...and a skinny one...nerdy one etc....so still base Tem...but as if he had lived completely differently lives

i saw it last week and just defaulted to assuming it was a fan cast because it it was real it would have been HUGE news, the first place i'd see it wouldn't be some random IG post (where i saw it)

I thoroughly enjoyed season 1. Grown up star wars is a good description

I just assumed an Ewok seamstress whipped it up for her before she linked up with the other rebels.

I'm really looking forward to this.

Will be interesting to see where it ranks compared to other shows of recent vintage.

@Bovidae assuming they havent just picked out the best bits for the trailers....looks great!

i am expecting some hate though, a show with two/three female protagonists, and because everything that supports their kick arse ness is in "Rebels" ....some out there that havent watched the cartoon will consider it tokenism

What effs me off is them ditching the EU, complaining they have to start from scratch then ripping off a classic EU storyline (Heir to an Empire) but replacing Luke with Ashoka. It all seems a little pointless because the First Order will soon appear and blow everything up. Oh yeah, and Palpatine will come back with his fleet of star destroyers on ice . I wish they'd just bite the bullet and retcon that shit. Most people won't care and it will allow them much more scope for progressing the timeline.

The biggest shame for me is Rogue Squadron being canned. I've always wanted to see a SW film from the POV of pilots like Wedge. Probably heaps of WW2 stuff they could use as well.

[Bovidae]

@Kiwiwomble Out of curiosity I did watch the first couple of episodes of Rebels a while back so I am familiar with those other female characters but nothing more than that. I don't have any preconceived ideas or expectations about the SW shows for that reason.

[Kiwiwomble]

@Bovidae and you know some wont care, a character is a character and they can just watch and enjoy...or critique if the production (boba fett) or writing or something isn;t good...but others out there will only see so many females on screen as trying to make a point

I've just watched the first two episodes of Ahsoka. A good start.

Watching the suggested episodes of the different animated series certainly helped with the backstories of the main characters.
