Depending on when this series is ultimately set I think it would be interesting to see the Rebels before they became the Alliance that we've all come to know and love. I'd like to see the different factions each working separately and even at times competing against each other with the series working towards the time that the different Rebel cells/factions eventually coalesce into the Rebel Alliance.
Very interesting idea.
Bear in mind it's a kids show, so I doubt they'll be tackling the heavy stuff like that. A shame, though, since it's certainly fertile ground for a more sober, adult treatment of the Star Wars franchise.
Why does everyone associate Disney with light-hearted, always feel good plot points? A few things I want to mention:
Need I go on?
- Old Yeller
- Bambi's Parents
- Nemo's brothers and Sisters
- The crew of the Cygnus in The Black Hole
- Simba's Dad
A lot of people never gave CW a chance because they assumed it was going to be a kids show in the realm of Droids or Ewoks. I and many of CW fans feel the show followed the feel of the movies.
While you're probably right that they'll be included, I am bored stiff with Jedi. I'm ready to get back to regular people fighting against the Empire and trying to make a difference, instead of super-powered boring-ass monks.

We really can't say that yet. Disney has the resources to create far more content then LucasFilm Animation. They could aim for a different, older demographic with this as a lead in to Ep VII. Clone Wars had no where to go and was a gateway for a younger audience but the new films will have a much more broad based target audience. It's entirely possible what Riceball is suggesting, which sounds great, could be the direction they go and still leave opportunities for shows like Detours or the ilk for a younger audience.
