With sub-arcsecond angular resolution accompanied by fast time resolution and spatially resolved spectral capabilities, the Chandra X-ray Observatory provides a unique capability for the study of supernova remnants and pulsars. Though in its relative infancy, Chandra has already returned stunning images of supernova remnants which reveal the distribution of ejecta synthesized in the stellar explosions, the distinct properties of the forward and reverse shocks, and the presence of faint shells surrounding compact remnants. Pulsar observations have uncovered jet features as well as small-scaled structures in surrounding synchrotron nebulae. Perhaps most importantly, the angular resolution now presents us with the opportunity for comparisons of unique emission regions in different bands of the electromagnetic spectrum. In this talk I will discuss these and other results from early Chandra investigations of pulsars and supernova remnants, and will summarize on-going and planned studies in an effort to present the broad view of such high resolution observations.
