New Trailer for ‘Star Wars: Rebels’ Looks Grim but Hopeful

by Tori Ann October 5, 2017

written by Tori Ann

As we saw in a previous trailer for the final season, Grand Admiral Thrawn and the Empire are looking to crack down on the Rebellion. This latest trailer for the show’s final season shows that the threat to Sabine and Mandalore may be even more serious than we originally thought.

Thrawn claims to have a weapon that will bring the planet to its knees and swear loyalty to the Empire while we see Sabine mourning a loss. However, Ezra is not ready to give up the fight. He says this is how a rebellion starts – small, with a few people standing together. Bolstered, Sabine leads the charge carrying the Darksaber. The fight is far from over, and the Rebels characters won’t give up easily.

Season 4 of Star Wars: Rebels premieres October 16 with an hour-long episode on Disney XD.

‘Star Wars Rebels’ Announces Premiere Date In New Trailer

by Tori Ann September 4, 2017

written by Tori Ann

Over the past three seasons, the crew of The Ghost in Star Wars Rebels have gone from rabble-rousers thwarting the Empire at any opportunity, to members of the budding Rebel Alliance. It started with Ezra Bridger running into Hera Syndulla, Kannan Jarrus, and the others on Lothal, and has since taken them to all parts of the galaxy on their many missions. Along the way, they have encountered notable Star Wars characters such as Darth Vader, Asoka Tano, Saw Gerrera, R2-D2 and C-3PO, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Princess Leia, Yoda, Grand Admiral Thrawn, and many others, firmly cementing itself within the Star Wars universe.

4th Season

The upcoming fourth season has been announced to be the show’s final season, and in the recently released new trailer, it will premiere on Monday, October 16.

In the season 3 finale, the crew of The Ghost managed to survive a battle against the Empire at Atollon, escaping from Thrawn and making their way to the Rebel base on Yavin IV. The trailer for the new season shows that the fight against the Empire is getting much more fierce. Mandalore is placed on lockdown, while Sabine Wren works to muster a resistance among her people. Saw Guererra urges the Rebellion that they can no longer fight on the Empire’s terms, but Mon Mothma does not think they are ready for open war. Thrawn orders the capture of Captain Hera Syndulla. Ezra struggles with his own issues, and Kanan and Hera talk about plans for their future.

It is very likely that the end of the series could lead right into the events of Rogue One, given that we’ve already seen characters like Saw Gerrera and Grand Moff Tarkin. The above trailer also specifically references Orson Krennic and Stardust – the project name for the Death Star.

Season 4 of Star Wars Rebels premieres Monday, October 16 on Disney XD.

Star Wars Rebels gets it’s own Prequel Comic

by April Carvelli March 28, 2015

written by April Carvelli

Spin offs are everywhere and it’s not just confined to TV shows, comic books have been doing them for years. If a character or storyline is interesting then it gets its own comic line, even if it is short-lived. Star Wars and Disney have been tossing us sequels, TV shows and comic lines as fast as they can spin them out, some have been pretty good, others we’ll wait and see what happens.

The latest in the Star Wars spin offs is Kanan, this is based on the Disney XD series Star Wars Rebels. This is supposed to fill the time gap between Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars Rebels.

StarWars.com has given us a five-page preview of the first book in the new Kanan series. The new comic penned by Greg Weisman and artist Pepe Larraz is due on shelves April 1^st (do I feel a joke here?)
