Rebels is good. Filler episodes are meh but the main storyline episodes rock.

I'm down for a good quality TV series, but they need talent, money and it must be done right.
I'm not okay with the quality of the shows like Agents of Shield, if freaking Star Wars gets the same level of production then the show will be doomed.

I don't know what they could possibly do to dilute the brand name any more rapidly than they are.

Disney Developing More Than One STAR WARS TV Series for Its Streaming Service
Fresh off of news that Game of Thrones creators/showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss would be creating a new trilogy of Star Wars feature films, Disney CEO Bob Iger told investors Tuesday that the company is developing more than one Star Wars TV series.
"We are developing not just one, but a few Star Wars series specifically for the Disney direct-to-consumer app. We've mentioned that and we are close to being able to reveal at least one of the entities that is developing that for us. Because the deal isn't completely closed, we can't be specific about that," he said during an earnings call Tuesday. "I think you'll find the level of talent … on the television front will be rather significant as well."
Iger first announced that Disney was developing a live-action Star Wars TV series in November when he revealed that the company's forthcoming direct-to-consumer digital platform would also feature a Monsters, Inc. and High School Musical series. It's unclear if the other Star Wars TV series for the Disney digital platform will also be live-action.
The as-yet-untitled Disney digital platform will target families and debut in late 2019, the company said Tuesday. Disney has already pulled its Marvel features from rival Netflix in anticipation of the launch.
While Benioff and Weiss would seem to be prime candidates to create a live-action Star Wars TV series given their success in building HBO's Emmy-winning genre hit Game of Thrones, Iger used his time with investors Tuesday to explain why they'd be fronting a new trilogy for Disney's film unit.
"Their interest was in creating a series of films that are Star Wars-based and we've actually been talking to them for a long time," Iger said. "To my knowledge they didn’t express interest in creating a series. They have an idea for a number of films and at some later date I'm sure we'll disclose to all of you just what those are. They are focused on a point in time in the Star Wars mythology and taking it from there."

I love Karen Gillian, but from what I've read about Mara Jade, she doesn't have the gravitas for the role.I want some Mara Jade. There's very little chance of her showing up in what remains of Rebels, so this would be the perfect vehicle to bring her to life.
What say you @Dragonlordxxxxx, Master of Casting? Are you familiar with the character? Anyone comes to mind?
Other than the obvious Karen Gillan (MINE!!!), of course.

Think of Karen as Nebula, dial up the sarcasm and dial down the rage way down, and you have the right amount of gravitas for Mara.

I just don't buy her in that kind of role.
I of course could be wrong, but we're just talking hypotheticals atm.
This guy gets it.

Jon Favreau to Write and Produce Live-Action STAR WARS TV Series
Jon Favreau is set to executive produce and write a live-action Star Wars series, Disney announced Thursday.
"I couldn’t be more excited about Jon coming on board to produce and write for the new direct-to-consumer platform,” Kathleen Kennedy, Lucasfilm president said in a statement. “Jon brings the perfect mix of producing and writing talent, combined with a fluency in the Star Wars universe. This series will allow Jon the chance to work with a diverse group of writers and directors and give Lucasfilm the opportunity to build a robust talent base.”
This is not Favreau's first time working in a galaxy far, far away. The actor/director played roles in both the Star Wars: The Clone Warsanimated series and in the upcoming Solo: A Star Wars Story.
“If you told me at 11 years old that I would be getting to tell stories in the Star Wars universe, I wouldn’t have believed you," he said in a statement. "I can’t wait to embark upon this exciting adventure.”
The untitled Star Wars live-action series does not yet have a release date.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I hope this series features a new canon version of Mara Jade.
I'm well aware that the version of the character who was Luke's wife on Legends isn't a right fit for the new canon, but if we de-couple the character from the love interest side of the character, you can put her either in the OT era or the Seqeuel Trilogy era without much issue.
