It doesn’t land until 2014 and this teaser doesn’t make the wait any easier as it doesn’t do much other than provide a bad voice over that doesn’t fit the idea of the show at all and gives us a bit of a nod towards how the films open. On the plus side, we are getting closer and should be seeing character design and other materials coming up in the next few months as the newest animated property in the Star Wars universe with Star Wars Rebels finally takes us past the over-used grounds in the midst of the prequels and instead shifts us to between the third and fourth films.
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.
