Lucasfilm/Disney have put the first seven minutes of Star Wars Rebels out there for the fans to enjoy… and it looks very, very good. There’s just something about hearing the whine of the Tie Fighter engines that instantly takes us back to 1977…
Sigh…
Star Wars Rebels is set between the events of Episode III and IV, an era spanning almost two decades never-before explored on-screen. It takes place in a time where the Empire is securing its grip on the galaxy and hunting down the last of the Jedi Knights as a fledgling rebellion against the Empire is taking shape.
Starring a small band of heroes: Sabine, Kanan, Hera, Ezra, Zeb, and Chopper.
Star Wars Rebels will be produced by Lucasfilm Animation, featuring many of the key talents that made Star Wars: The Clone Wars. It’s executive produced by Dave Filoni, Simon Kinberg, and Greg Weisman, is scheduled to premiere in October 2014 as a one-hour special telecast on Disney Channel and will be followed by a series on Disney XD channels around the world.
