LEGO MARVEL’S AVENGERS Shines In New NYCC Trailer

Lawrence Gallagher Leave a comment
The game will look and feel similar to recent LEGO superhero games but with some new features added in like combo moves that look reminiscent of the old MARVEL: ULTIMATE ALLIANCE games which is definitely not a bad thing for fans.

On top of all of the MCU plots and characters this game will also feature tons of non MCU (so far) characters from the comics and overall MARVEL Universe.

You can check out the trailer below and pickup LEGO MARVEL’S AVENGERS when it hits shelves on January 26th.

NYCC 2015: STAR WARS REBELS Season 2 Trailer And Cast Bring More Depth To The Series

Lawrence Gallagher Leave a comment
As you can see below, Disney released the newest trailer for the 2nd season of STAR WARS REBELS yesterday and it looks even better than I had hoped. This new season looks to get more in depth with characters like Ezra and Sabine and will also give us the story of Anakin and Ahsoka we all have been waiting for since the end of CLONE WARS.

I was also at the STAR WARS REBELS press conference yesterday where Dave Filoni (creator), Taylor Gray (Ezra), Ashley Eckstein (Ahsoka) and newcomer to the franchise Sarah Michelle Gellar (The Seventh Sister) were on hand to answer questions about the new season and where it is all going from here. Gellar expressed her joy at having a part in the larger Star Wars universe and is happy she’s not the only member in her household now (husband Freddy Prinze Jr. voices Kanan). The team also shared how they don’t attempt to force the topic of strong female characters as much as the create it to happen more organically. Dave Fioni  said you can expect a lot from the ladies of REBELS this season but because in his eyes “thats just the way it is, it’s equal” They want both strong male and female characters to tell the overall story of REBELS.

We also learned a few other tidbits from the Q & A including:

  • all inquisitors are trained on the same spinning sabre blade the grand inquisitor used in season 1
  • that Clones who didn’t execute order 66 were immediately executed by their brethren due to subcommands in the order. Also by this point any remaining clones would be to old for service and would be disposed of by the empire.
  • The idea of Ezra becoming Kylo Ren was brought up as a question but Filoni laughed it off while star Taylor Gray was blown away by the idea and said he wants it to happen.
  • Filoni said he is in contact with all of the directors of the upcoming films
  • there is a story team who keeps all continuity in order across all mediums

Overall the cast and crew of STAR WARS REBELS gives off the vibe that they are completely invested in the future of the series and the star wars franchise as a whole. It is cleary visible in the shows storytelling and hopefully will be echoed through the films in years to come.

Season 2 of STAR WARS REBELS kicks off October 14th on Disney XD
