New Animated Show: Star Wars: Forces of Destiny

I was wondering about that too, because if not it's gonna be really weird hearing modern day Mark Hamill's voice coming out of an animated version of OT era Luke.
So will this be the first time he's played Luke outside of the movies and
the Holiday Special? I know he did do VO for a commercial for the first New Jedi Order book, but that is such a minor thing I don't know if I'd really count it.
So I wonder if Yoda will be voiced by Frank Oz or Tom Kane?

Given the time lag between recordings and final animations, I wonder if most of the voice actors were recorded during ‘The Last Jedi’. They would have been in the studio looping dialogue. Not a huge stretch to imagine a extra hour or two to record this dialogue too.
Okay, so we get a couple of episodes set during The Last Jedi and add Rose Tico and Porgs to the cast. In the Finn/Rose episode, those weren't purrgills, were they? I thought so at first, but I checked, and the anatomy is different.
And one other "during the movie" installment, with Luke and Yoda on Dagobah, fleshing out the training sequence we saw in Empire. Which is the only segment they've done to date with an all-male cast. I have to say, Tom Kane sounds more convincing as Yoda than 66-year-old Mark Hamill does as 22-year-old Luke.
Otherwise, mostly just more of the kind of thing we've seen before -- Anakin and Padme trying to get some alone time, Hera and Sabine stealing supplies, Jyn going about her nebulously defined pre-Rogue One life, Rey scavenging on Jakku. The high point was seeing Leia and Chewie meet Maz Kanata prior to ROTJ. I wondered when Maz was going to show up in an earlier era. I kept expecting her to appear in Rebels.
All of those were a lot of fun. My favorites were Rey's and Jyn's shorts, and I'm thrilled we finally got to see Maz!
I loved how one of the Porgs had a Looney Tunes moment.
Mark Hamil didn't put much effort into sounding like young Luke but that's probably for the best.
I wonder why they decided to release all of the episodes at once instead of daily like last time.

I was recently wondering if Ahsoka was fully aware of the relationship between Anakin and Padme.
ETA: I hope that S3 gives us a brief look at Ahsoka and Sabine's post-RotJ journey as well as some more of Hera's adventures with the rebellion during the OT era.

I was always under the impression she was on some level. Maybe she didn't know they were actually married, but she knew they were more than friends.
I think Ahsoka and Sabine is probably going to be held off until that storyline can get some attention devoted to it, like in the next series or something else. I suspect it could be off-limits for this for now.
As for Hera's adventures during the OT, that's almost certainly a guarantee. We're already starting to see some in the comics.
And I have actually seen that arc, there is just so much emotion in that scene that that revelation was almost secondary. Thanks for the reminder, I guess now we know where and how she figured it out. Now I'm wondering how aware Obi-Wan was (he's not stupid) and if he sent Ahsoka along to keep things professional.
What is the Rebels timeline? From five years before ANH to one year before? Did Hera fly in the battle of Skariff while pregnant? The cover of Doctor Aphra #18 with Hera (ANH + 6 months? A year?) does not indicate pregnancy, so I would assume that she had already given birth by then.
Twi'lek pregnancies might be rather short. We've had Star Trek humanoids that have a short duration pregnancy, usually as a result of needing to replenish numbers when the species has a lot of predators or natural disasters. Ryloth is a fairly dangerous place. Plus Twi'lek seem to have been in various species slave forces for a long time. So they might breed quickly.
The exact timeline is (intentionally) a little vague, but it seems reasonable that each season averages about a year, give or take. So yeah, the finale taking place about a year before ANH seems about right. In which case Jacen would probably have been born a few months prior. One assumes Hera would have left him in some kind if safe haven while she continued to serve the Alliance (with Sabine on Lothal seems a safe bet).
He didn't exactly look surprised here so...
I'm sure they'll get to that story eventually, but for now I like to think she was sent to retrace Leia's steps to try and find out what happened to her and the plans. Maybe even getting to Alderaan just in time to witness it's destruction, hence "when we heard about Alderaan we feared the worst."
Of course the boring answer is that she took command of what was left of Raddus's fleet that made it to the fallback coordinates, sending the fighters back to base and linked everyone else up with Ackbar's forces, who didn't make it to Yavin until after the battle.
