NEW ANIMATED SERIES STAR WARS REBELS COMING FALL 2014

Production has begun on Star Wars Rebels, an exciting, all-new animated television series based on one of the greatest entertainment franchises of all time. Scheduled to premiere in fall 2014 as a one-hour special telecast on Disney Channel, it will be followed by a series on Disney XD channels around the world.

Leading the development of the series is a creative team of exceptional talent. Screenwriter/producer Simon Kinberg (X-Men: First Class, Sherlock Holmes, Mr. & Mrs. Smith) is an executive producer on Star Wars Rebels and will write the premiere episode. He is joined by Dave Filoni as executive producer, who served as supervising director of the Emmy nominated Star Wars: The Clone Wars since 2008. Executive producer Greg Weisman brings with him a wealth of animation experience with credits such as Young Justice, The Spectacular Spider-Man and Gargoyles.

Gary Marsh, president and chief creative officer, Disney Channels Worldwide, said, "The entire team at Lucasfilm has provided extraordinary creativity and innovation for over three decades, and we're thrilled to be bringing the expansive and imaginative world of Star Wars to Disney XD's viewers."

"I couldn't be more excited to explore new corners of the Star Wars universe," said Kathleen Kennedy, president, Lucasfilm. "I think Star Wars Rebels will capture the look, feel and fun that both kids and their parents love about Star Wars."

The action-filled series is set between the events of Episode III and IV -- an era spanning almost two decades never-before explored on-screen. 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. Details about the show are a closely guarded secret at this point.

Star Wars Rebels will be produced by Lucasfilm Animation, featuring many of the key talents that made Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Fans attending Star Wars Celebration Europe will be the first to get an exclusive look at the new series. Casting will be announced at a later date. More information about this developing project will be found on StarWars.com and on Facebook at facebook.com/starwarsrebels.

Yeah they are doing that. That'll all be wrapped up within a year I'd imagine since this isn't until Fall 2014

[srinivas1015]

Awesome!!!! As much as I love Clone Wars, this is gonna be more exciting!!

[srinivas1015]

I hope the CG looks like The Old Republic cinematic trailers..

[Elbie]

Such a long way away.

I hope it's as good as Clone Wars was. Still hoping for those "Season 6" episodes of CW to get released on Blu before this new series begins.

I wonder if this show is meant to replace the "Star Wars: Underworld" live action series they had been working on.

Well i dunno about a "replacement". More like just focusing on something else for now.I mean obviously now that they're winding down The Clone Wars Disney wants a new animated show. I would assume a live action tv series would take a lot more money (and time?) to produce than an animated show, so with them focusing mainly on Episode VII it looks like we won't see a live action tv series for a while. I do believe however we will see one some day!

I hope there's alot of Vader in this show, voiced by James Earl Jones. I've always wanted to see this period. The Empire grows and Vader hunts down the remaining Jedi.

Rebels to star a group of teens
Not too long ago, Lucasfilm announced that a new animated series titled Star Wars: Rebels will premiere on Disney XD next year. Focusing on the formation of the Rebel Alliance, the show will take place in between Episodes III and IV, and yesterday we heard that it will focus on new characters as well as familiar faces from the legendary franchise. Now, Bleeding Cool reports some more info on the series. The subtitle "Rebels" applies to the main characters (unsurprisingly), and the majority of these protagonists are said to be teenagers. Before you get too worried, Bleeding Cool notes that, despite the show being aimed at a younger audience, none of these characters are expected to be on the same level as someone like Jar-Jar Binks. Instead, they're "just a lot of youthful protagonists being teens at the same time as sci-fi heroes."

Wars Celebration Europe 2013: Star Wars Rebels Logo, Art, and Details Revealed

Star Wars Rebels Executive Producer Dave Filoni pulled back the curtain on Lucasfilm's highly anticipated animated series for Star Wars Celebration Europe attendees today, discussing the huge influence of original Star Wars concept artist Ralph McQuarrie on the look and feel of the show, and revealing the series' unique logo and select designs.

Filoni talked at length about the use of McQuarrie art as a springboard for the series, showcasing many works from the original trilogy, including landscapes and characters, and detailing how they inform the visual identity of Star Wars Rebels.

For Star Wars Rebels, fans were given their first look at the Ghost, which will be the main character's ship and play a big part in the series, as well as a computer rendering of a very McQuarrie-esque Stormtrooper, the interior of a Star Destroyer, and more. The show's logo, a minimalist yet powerful design, is notable for its orange and black color scheme, which recalls the flight suit colors of Rebel pilots in the original Star Wars trilogy.

While unable to attend in person, Executive Producers Simon Kinberg and Greg Weisman shared their excitement for the series in a video message recorded specifically for Celebration attendees.

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.

I hope this show is being framed in 2.35:1 just like The Clone Wars was.

[srinivas1015]

I hope the animation style is more 'realistic' rather the the caricature-style of The Clone Wars.
