For those of you going, here is the schedule for
everything Star Wars related at this year's San Diego Comic Con.
Thursday, July 24
The Heroes of Star Wars Rebels: 6:00
p.m. – 7:00 p.m., Room 6BCF
The Empire. The Rebellion. The Beginning. Star Wars Rebels,
Lucasfilm’s highly anticipated animated series detailing the start of the fight
against the evil Empire, is coming this fall — but fans can get a big sneak
peek at San Diego Comic-Con.
Lucasfilm’s special panel, The Heroes of Star Wars Rebels, will
feature executive producer Dave Filoni, as well as the first panel appearance
by executive producer Simon Kinberg and stars Freddie Prinze, Jr., Vanessa
Marshall, Steve Blum, Tiya Sircar, and Taylor Gray. They’ll discuss making the
show and will reveal exclusive content from the upcoming series for fans in
attendance.
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.
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.
With Star Wars: Episode VII creators deep in
production in anticipation of the film’s December 18, 2015, release, Lucasfilm
will not be featuring the movie at SDCC.
