Yes, this was discussed upthread a week ago. If it's true, season three will lead up to Rogue One and the beginning of the Original Trilogy timeline. But there have allegedly also been comments about a fourth season, so who knows?

I'll post some screencaps later today., that I find that show the base / bottom being 3 sided.

You can see the base of the Holocron because there are not triangles visible.
Sorry, Work will not like upload pictures.

I'm seeing the bottom as a different shape, only in that it's missing a few triangles at one corner and possibly the etching details.
It's a tetrahedron, 4 triangular faces including the bottom. Here's a quick attempt at visualizing the shapes:
EDIT: ...and some of the external detailing:

In that image, though, you can see the side on the left of the bottom has the fatter edge that the lower faces of the top have. Additionally, you can see the corner o nthe right side is bigger than the corner just above it on the front face. That's what i'm saying about the corner's not evenly lining up.
You can't see the other holes on the corner on the right - my guess is they're there and blocked by the sides behind it being the same color. The base window has the same pattern which indicates the window size is likely the same.
that sounds right, they don't evenly line up because they more or less duplicated one of the sides to use for the bottom. Rotating this model gives pretty similar results.
That could be the case, and there could be other models they used with higher detail, but that's not what I'm seeing when watching that particular scene. And none of the etching seems to be visible in that long shot. It would be cool to see the show in 4K.

That would make sense since more detail = more render time, more render time = more money. It's not uncommon for effects and animation studios to use lower polygon and detailed in scenes where you won't notice the difference to save on render time. In this case they probably use a model with none of the etching details or etching that's just a flat texture map, lowered the settings on the red parts so that while translucent it's not reflecting and refracting like it would in a close up shot.

The amount of detail shown on that holocron could increase 10 fold and it wouldn't have much impact, if any, on the render time. The only thing that'd increase the render time, really, is upping the reflection and reflection depth massively, or high end GI. Outside of that, they're not really using any techniques that would hammer render time.

I've read that other places as well.
aawwww this saddens me...
Yeah, I brought that up a while back.
The good news is those same "rumors" say they already have the next animated series planned. Dave Filoni and that group is 2/2 for me so I'm excited for what is next. Actually, it would be cool if it had something to do with events between RotJ and TFA although I think Lego is tackling that also.
i wonder what he has in the works. it just saddens me because I can see so much more with this group of characters. why bring back all these characters only to end it so soon?
hopefully he brought them back to include them into the next project
