In Star Wars: Rebels, Darth Vader enlists The Inquisitor to hunt down the last of the Jedi Knights. The series takes place about 14 years after the events of Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith, a time in which the Emperor’s rule is secure and the Empire is seeking to expand its power to Outer Rim territories. That leads Imperial forces to Lothal, a poor planet that initially welcomes the Empire on the promise of security and prosperity. It soon becomes obvious, however, that the Empire does not have Lothal’s best interests at heart, as the Imperials exploit its people and begin recruiting young citizens to join TIE fighter and Stormtrooper academies, or to work in the Sienar Fleet Systems factory — which builds TIE fighters — in the planet’s capital.
We get new details on the Star Wars: Rebels Disney animated series from upcoming LEGO sets which reveal most likely the two main hero characters from the series.

The figure — the first to be seen from the upcoming Star Wars Rebels Saga Legends line — features five points of articulation, show-accurate accessories, and is sculpted in the art style of the series.

Executive producer on the new animated Star Wars: Rebels series, Simon Kinberg, talks about the main villain of the show, with the Inquisitor, as well as some new art is revealed.
Kinberg says that the Inquisitor is inspired by Darth Vader who is the greatest villain in all of storytelling. Similar to Vader, they wanted him to be formidable and terrifying, but also show that it’s possible for anyone to end up like him, which makes him more terrifying.
Simon Kinberg is also one of the screenwriters behind the new Star Wars spinoff movies.

Disney debuted the first teaser trailer for the new Star Wars Rebels animated series earlier tonight.
Check out a first look below!
The official Star Wars Rebels teaser trailer from Lucasfilm gives viewers their first look at the upcoming animated series’ visual style, which is heavily influenced by the work of original Star Wars concept artist Ralph McQuarrie. Star Wars Rebels takes place between Star Wars: Episode III and IV, a time period previously unexplored on-screen, as the Empire cements its power and a rebellion begins to form. The highly anticipated show, executive produced by Dave Filoni, Simon Kinberg, and Greg Weisman, is coming Fall 2014 to Disney XD.
A teaser trailer for the new Star Wars Rebels animated series will air this Monday on Disney XD.
SuperHeroHype has it that a first look at Star Wars Rebels will be featured during Mighty Med, which premieres Monday, October 7th at 8:30pm ET on Disney XD.
More than likely the teaser will hit the net shortly after, so we’ll be sure to have that up for you.
Star Wars Rebels takes place between the events of Episode III and IV with the Empire hunting the last of the Jedi in the midst of the Rebellion being built. The new series premiers next year.
Disney has begun casting the new animated Star Wars Rebels series with five names surfacing.
David Oyelowo, Freddie Prinze Jr., Vanessa Marshall, Taylor Gray and Steven Jay Blum are said to be up for lead roles in Star Wars Rebels, reports The Hollywood Reporter.
Not much is known about the new Disney XD series that premiers in the Fall of 2014 other than it will be set between Episodes III and IV and will be visually different than Clone Wars.
It’s also said Star Wars Rebels 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.
A new rumor has landed online stating that Disney and LucasFilm are moving into the digital distribution game with Apple as it’s reported live production news from the set of Star Wars: Episode VII and the new Star Wars: Rebels animated series will be made available through an App as well as the final episodes of Clone Wars.
The Star Wars fan site, Jedi News, has it from an insider source that a Disney App will launch on Apple TV which will exclusively include the final episodes to Clone Wars.
It’s also said that in 2014, plans are underway to use the new platform to distribute Star Wars Episode VII news live from the sets, as well as from Star Wars: Rebels all the way through to Episode 7’s release.
The report goes on to state that the new App will be available only on Apple TV devices capable of running iOS 7, with no confirmation of the other devices such as the iPhone or iPad.
Interestingly enough, Kathleen Kennedy, head of LucasFilm, previously stated in an interview (below around the 1:15 mark) that in regards to internet spoilers and such that they need to embrace it:
We talk about that all the time. I think the whole issue of confidentiality is going to be fascinating as we move into making the movie. If we’re shooting anything outside, it’s almost impossible to not have things end up on the internet. So my feeling is, you need to embrace that, especially with the fans around something like Star Wars. You need to recognize that they are important to the process and acknowledge there are things you’re going want to make sure they get to know. So I think that’s something we’re going to monitor, pay attention to and think differently about.
Star Wars: Episode VII has a 2015 release being directed by J.J. Abrams.
Disney showed up in a big way at Star Wars Celebration Europe in Germany by unveiling the logo, art and information for their new animated series, Star Wars Rebels.
Below you can see Star Wars Rebels concept art from artist Ralph McQuarrie that reveals a look at the main character’s ship, the Ghost.
Where did the idea for Rebels come from? Dave Filoni, supervising director on Star Wars Rebels,says Lucasfilm’s story team got together and talked about what they wanted to see, and they all agreed it was this era. He adds that it will visually be different from The Clone Wars, particularly it will have a strong influence from Ralph McQuarrie. “I looked at his paintings, and there are tons of paintings that he did that have never made it to the screen.” Concept art shows on screen, they look very Star Wars. “Ralph had such a mind for the future.”
The series 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.
Star Wars Rebels will be produced by Lucasfilm Animation, featuring many of the key talents that made Star Wars: The Clone Wars. It is scheduled to premiere in fall 2014 as a one-hour special telecast on Disney Channel, and will be followed by a series on Disney XD channels around the world.
It seems with the news that J.J. Abrams is moving to London to begin filming Star Wars: Episode VII next year, the rumor flood gates are now opened.
The latest is in regards to the Star Warsspinoff movies with it said that there will be a Han Solo movie as well as a BobaFett film.
Those two spinoffs have previously been rumored, but new details from JoBlo come to light.
It’s said the Han Solo Star Warsspinoff will feature Han in his early days when he first gets the Millennium Falcon (and we can assume an appearance by a young Lando as well) in addition to focusing on the relationship with Chewbacca.
No details are known about the BobaFettStar Wars movie, but there was previous mention of a Yoda spinoff, which is now said to be scrapped due to possibly a LEGO animated version or some other tie-in.
It’s also stated what we previously heard about the recently announced animated Disney XDStar Wars Rebels series in that it will feature how the Rebel Alliance formed to take on the Empire with already established and new characters.
Disney has announced the new animated Star Wars Rebels series that is set for 2014.
