  • Nice. Glad to see support! :D
  • Downloading :D
  • Nice! Disney still loves windows, yet they use iPhones to scan passholder passes. Arrhgggg!!!
  • Downloading
  • Good for supporting us
  • Well it nice to see news about new apps being added instead of news alone hehe
  • Games not apps
  • Games or apps its something new in the store... But yep wrong wording ;)
  • But a game is an app. So you were correct in tthe first place.
  • Thank you
  • Disney <3
  • Where are the "no Xbox, no download" comments? ^^
  • We don't care anymore
  • We have game troopers for that, lol.
  • Coip will show up ;)
  • Thank you, Disney. Disney..who made my Childhood wonderful. I love big games. Big games because it's a comparatively rare sight in the store.
  • All it means is it probably is graphics intensive
  • Well who doesn't love that?
  • Whiny 512mb 8gb touting lumia owners
  • Well, Disney at least doesn't have "Timo" to Windows phone!
  • Needs wifi to down load
  • No xbox-live no install
  • Give 3-6 months and they will support 512mb
  • In 3-6 months they'll pull it
  • Still haven't seen this show. Does anyone know how it compares to Clone Wars?
  • This may be over-hyping it, but I think Clone Wars is the best thing to happen with Star Wars. Rebels was started with a lower budget, it takes a little to build up but by mid-season I was hooked. It isn't to the level of Clone Wars but it is worth watching. It is a very different show in a different setting so you can't expect the same thing. I just wish we had the level of detail in the art that Clone Wars had.
  • Thanks, might have to give it a try.
  • Better simply because it's not the Clone Wars era. Seriously though, it doesn't have the sillier elements of CW like the "funny" STAP droids and the gay affectation Hutt.
  • the "Truman Capote" hutt. 
  • It is worth watching.
  • I prefer it to Clone Wars. Less overtly silly.
  • My 6 year old son loves the cartoon, so he's in.
  • It's a little more kid oriented. However it does do some good storytelling at times. Just beware of Chopper, he knows how to hide a body.
  • Kind of wonder what happened to their bounty hunter spin-off that was supposed to be produced
  • as for the show, no purposefully stupid droids, no jar-jar, and no overly sithy anikin that no one seems to notice does bad stuff all the time. It is more kid friendly, but people still die and the story is slow but compelling.
  • Shame... Just another runner
  • Wont get past start screen. FAIL!
  • Will download, love the show.
  • Laggy on Lumia 830. Hard to play. Disappointed. Suddenly out when playing for 5min.
  • Extremply lagging on Intel Atom tablets as well as on hi-end Lumias. Can be played on PC however https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=P4IMz758VW8
  • On my 925: after tutorial, 1 mission done, then when going to the second one: choose a character (of course, none are available but Ezra), click start, then: you can only access other levels/mission when you are online... What the.. Of course I am online. So I think we might expect an update soon!
