STAR WARS REBELS - Full Trailer and Obi-Wan Kenobi will be in the Series
Happy Star Wars Day! Thanks to Lucasfilm and StarWars.com we have the first full trailer for their cool looking animated series, Star Wars Rebels. It gives us our best look yet at what's in store for fans with this new series. It looks like it's going to be a lot of fun, and I love the designs for it. Also, according to JediNews Obi-Wan Kenobi will be a character in the series, which is pretty damn cool to hear. They found out the news at a Rebels toy event recently. He's not in the trailer, but it's good to know that he'll be included in the story.
Here's a description of the trailer:
Starring a small band of heroes — Sabine, Kanan, Hera, Ezra, Zeb, and Chopper — Star Wars Rebels is set in a time where the Empire rules through fear and shrouds the galaxy in darkness. This trailer offers many new glimpses at sequences from the show, including the starship Ghost chased by TIE Fighters; young Ezra watching as a Star Destroyer looms overhead; Stormtroopers marching; a zero-g fight between our heroes and Imperials; and Kanan, a secret Jedi, assembling his lightsaber and preparing for battle. It ends, however, with an Imperial officer reporting to the Inquisitor — the Empire’s Jedi hunter, seen and heard here for the first time.
Here's a description of the series:
Star Wars Rebels continues the epic tradition of the legendary Star Wars saga with all-new exciting, action-packed adventures. It is a dark time in the galaxy, as the evil Galactic Empire tightens its grip of power from world to world. As the series begins, Imperial forces have occupied a remote planet, ruling with an iron fist and ruining the lives of its people. The clever and motley crew of the starship Ghost is amongst a select few who are brave enough to stand against the Empire. Together, this ragtag group will face threatening new villains, encounter colorful adversaries, embark on thrilling adventures and become heroes with the power to ignite a rebellion.
The show is scheduled to premiere in the fall as a one-hour special telecast on Disney Channel, it will be followed by a series on Disney XD channels around the world.
