Set between the events of Star Wars: Episodes III and IV, the story unfolds during a dark time when the evil Galactic Empire is tightening its grip of power on the galaxy. Imperial forces have occupied a remote planet and are ruining the lives of its people. The motley but clever crew of the starship Ghost — cowboy Jedi Kanan, ace pilot Hera, street-smart teenager Ezra, the “muscle” Zeb, warrior firebrand Sabine, and cantankerous old astromech droid Chopper — is among a select few who are brave enough to stand against the Empire. Together, they will face threatening new villains, encounter colorful adversaries, embark on thrilling adventures, and become heroes with the power to ignite a rebellion.

One role people don't know him much for that I'm sure you've heard was the voice of the pilot droid in both incarnations of the Star Wars - Star Tours ride in Disney parks around the world.
He reprised the role in an episode of Star Wars Rebels later, and the droid is now a DJ in the Galaxy's Edge cantina.
All content everywhere is hit or miss. With Disney, I didn't care for Solo or Star Wars Resistance. I enjoyed Star Wars Rebels and Rogue One. The Last Jedi had mixed reviews at best. I haven't been interested in a Pixar movie in several vears. It's not like Disney content is amazing all the time. It has winners and losers like everyone else.
Netflix has some of the best shows I've seen in a long time. It also has some is the worst. Just like Disney.
People make do because they have too, I got the 6s with 128GB thinking I would never come close to filling it, within 3-4 weeks I was proven wrong.
How you use your device changes with the storage you have. I don't need to worry about what I store on my device so I have VLC with movies and TV shows just in case. I have seasons of shows from Netflix/Amazon just in case. I got all my music downloaded so I won't have to stream from Spotify killing my battery and warming up my pocket for no reason. I got audiobooks, podcasts, documents and everything I need just in case.
And I found out that the "just in case" is used all the time when you have the option, missed a train? well got 18 min I can watch another episode of star wars rebels instead of idling or trying to stream from my Plex server over the wifi at a train station. Met a friend you haven't seen in a long time? well I got my videos and photos all ready to show... Bored? Well I'll play XCOM or Magic the Gathering....
GB's left GB's right, sure this is just wasting time, nothing life changing but people just don't realise how limited they are because they don't have more storage not because they need it badly but because they are conditioned to get by without it.
To take this a bit further, as far as I know, the question of what constitutes a mind is still an open question. Ie: where does the "mind" live in us? Is emergent minds, like that displayed by a ant colony, really a mind, in the same sense that we have minds?
One of the hard things about [ed: (military)] intelligence, [gathering] is that it is very hard to ask the right questions. You can sometimes find the "right" answers to the "wrong" questions -- and convince yourself you know what's going on -- while in reality you're interacting with a shadow-reality of partially your own creation.
For example: oppress and invade, deploy divide and conquer tactics across unconnected populations that share some cultural values -- and you'd probably be able to create a stand a alone complex in the form of the resistance that forms. Then that might latter merge into a true complex, as the various independent parts realize that they have a somewhat common agenda... Maybe we'll see the new Star Wars films inadvertently expand on this theme, judging by how they're setting up the story with then animated "Star Wars: Rebels" series? :-)
Highly recommend the newest prequel installation of Ghost in the Shell, GitS: Arise: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_in_the_Shell:_Arise
The definitive word on the Star Wars canon was given earlier this year: only the six films, Star Wars: The Clone Wars series, Star Wars: Rebels, and new content are considered canon.
Also, Wookiepedia is doing an excellent job differentiating Canon and Legends, so you can take your cues from there.
