Hes too old for Kanan, but for just a flashback or quick scene, I wouldn’t mind Freddie as Kanan. Haha.

A former washed up actor mocks the role that resurrected his career. Nice.
Its not outside the realm of possibility that his comments about "out of favors" and "too old" were made specifically to make us think he's not coming back.
Did it really resurrect his career? I think we're giving Rebels too much credit here. It's still a niche show. His career had winded down and it stayed that way despite being in Rebels.A former washed up actor mocks the role that resurrected his career. Nice.
I don't think his comment was a dig, but I know he has anomosity towards Star Wars, mainly because of awful fans harassing him while the show aired.
Like I said, he got a lot of hate from fans. Star Wars fans are some of the best and worst fans on the planet. We forget how unpopular a lot of these animated shows were at first. People take that type of hate differently. Some are able to keep a positive attitude, but he didn't. I don't really blame him too much.
Yeah, this doesn’t sound good. It’s right, but not good.
That’s hilarious. So out of place. Lol
Excellent comparison. A combination of both.
Ahsoka and her hitherto unspoken addiction to helium.
Prinze is just mad because he never got that much-coveted Oscar™ for his stunning work as Freddie Jones in Scooby Doo, or his heart-rending portrayal of Christopher "Maverick" Blair in Wing Commander.

I think a lot of Folks are misconstruing some of Freddie's recent comments. He genuinely enjoyed his time on Rebels, that much is very evident in any interview done at the time and shortly afterwards. He loved and respected the character of Kanan, that is why he has said recently he doesn't want to do anymore with Kanan, why doing Bad Batch and the voice Cameo in Rise of Skywalker were special favors to Dave, but he wasn't thrilled to do it. Not because he hates Star Wars or hates the character or thinks its below him, but rather because he feels to continue to bring him back and have cameos and Easter Eggs undermines the character and his sacrifice.
Something also to understand, that I did not until I listened to more interviews with him, is that Freddie is a writer. Most of that is for story lines and characters for Professional Wrestling, yes, but he is actually a student of Character and story. In his mind as a writer and story teller, Kanan's story is done and to just keep trying to bring him back, even though that is the standard in Star Wars, does a disservice to the character, the story, and its impact.
This is what he actually said:
And then when pressed by the interviewer if we would see him in Ahsoka, even after that comment, is when he said he's "Too Old" to be Kanan. Which , honestly is fair. He is now older than Kanan was, and if you don't want to dilute the impact of your character, you definitely won't put up with the de-aging CGI mess.
As for ill will towards fans, he might have or had it against the vocal segment of the fandom that mocked him and Rebels at the start, but, just last weekend I saw him at DragonCon in Atlanta where he was happy to sign pictures of Kannan, take pictures with fans, and talk about his time on the show and the character. You might want to say he only did that for the money, but, its not like the guy is a regular on the convention circuit and just trying to milk it, and I saw first hand when I got his autograph for a friend who couldn't make it that he genuinely seemed happy to see the fans and hear the feedback on how much Kanan meant to other folks in the line around me.

The special 'Master & Appreciate: A Special Look as AHSOKA' is now up on Disney+. Only about 8 minutes long, but a decent watch anyways.
Heads up though, nothing about this week's big reveal. Just mostly about the origins of her & pretty much a BTS focusing on Dave.

So I'm not 100% sure if here on the forum we've formed a consensus on what design hilt Anakin is definitively wearing on his belt, or if the rest of the forum cares that much anymore but it's bothering me that people across the internet are still insisting it's an MPP so hopefully this can help those people. I found a high quality screenshot that's been edited much clearer and has very definitive signs that show it is 100% a ROTS-flex (that's presumably chrome-plated or some other silver metal with a high sheen in a dark environment). I circled the 5 identifiers that it is without a doubt the Ep3 Graflex.
Orange is the hint of the bulb clamp, the raised bevels are accentuated by the reflection of the studio lights
Red is the short front copper button
Green is obviously the aluminum (or similar finish metal) knurling clamp band, I think that much was clear to the forum
Yellow looks a lot like the brass/gold/whatever yellowish metal clamp "lever"
Blue is the covertec clip, obviously a d-ring would not attach to that and would have the emitter by it not the grips if it was an MPP
So hopefully there won't be much more arguing over what hilt Anakin has
(Unedited version of the screencap if any of my circling was obstructing your view)

I swore off this show after laboring through the first episode but a friend who loves the cartoon asked me if I had seen the third episode. I jokingly commented if it was someone jumping around on a spaceship with a lightsaber... I had no idea, I didn't believe his silence, so now I had to watch, and it was someone jumping around on a spaceship with a lightsaber.
This show isn't Star Wars, iIt's garbage with space witches, space whales, space fifth dimension magic, blasters that do no damage, lightsabers are barely an inconvenience, characters that rivial the decision making of the Walking Dead, the acting and writing are spot on equally horrible, it's as if everyone shows up that morning with no idea what's to be filmed nor has seen a script and it's all edited together with the first rehearsal roll, this is the trash that's $25 million per episode?
That was all written as one sentence to mock the shows writing for those that would get that joke.
As I've repeatedly said, make a show for adults or make a show for kids. I've no idea what this show is. Even worse is to come with Skeleton Crew and Acolyte. The fires burning so hot dental records won't even be able to identify the remains.

So I'm watching a clip on YouTube. And looking at the flyby of an A-wing. I'm looking at what appears to the pilots head? Looks too small. Have they scaled the A-wing back up to 9.6 meters?
For those who don't know. The A-wing was originally listed in the old West End Games as being 9.6 meters long. Which is pretty big.
Which doesn't really match what is seen on screen. 2011 Millennium Falcon Owner's Workshop Manual gave a more appropriate scale.
(This is from the newest edition.
However Star Wars Rebels showed a large A-wing. Finally in 2019s Rebel Starfighters Owner's Workshop Manual we got an updated official size at 6.9 meters.
But now I'm looking at shots from this show. And the A-wing looks too big again? At least here. In shots of the hangar it looks appropriately scaled. Strange.
