Darth Vader Set to Appear in STAR WARS REBELS Season Finale
Next Monday is the season finale of Star Wars Rebels, and Disney XD has released an exciting promo trailer that features TIE fighters battling The Ghost, Kanan and Ezra taking on The Inquisitor, and the return of Darth Vader!
This has been such a fun show to watch and follow, and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. The final episode in the season is called “Fire Across the Galaxy,” and it features the second appearance of Lord Vader after his cameo in the version of the pilot that aired on ABC. The character is voiced by none other than James Earl Jones.
There's no word on how big his role will be in the episode, but it's still cool to see that he's back. Just in case that doesn't get you excited enough for the season finale, here's a tweet from Freddie Prinze Jr. (Kanan) that he posted after he watched the final two episodes.
#StarWarsRebels disclaimer: The following two episodes will cause your heart to explode out of your chest...
Youve been warned...
— Freddie Prinze Jr (@RealFPJr) February 20, 2015Set between the events of Star Wars: Episodes III and IV, the “Star Wars Rebels” 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 grumpy old astromech droid Chopper – will face threatening new villains, embark on thrilling adventures and become heroes with the power to ignite a rebellion.
I'm looking forward to seeing how the first season concludes. You can watch the trailer below, along with a clip from the first time we saw Darth Vader in the series.
