It was announced today that Star Wars Rebels: Spark of
the Rebellion will air on ABC on Sunday, October 26 (7:00 p.m. ET/PT), and
executive producer Dave Filoni reveals that, “we wanted to do something
special for the ABC broadcast. We’ve added a scene which gives audiences
insight into the Inquisitor and includes a cameo by Darth Vader voiced by the
distinguished actor James Earl Jones.”
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.
Star Wars Rebels takes place between Star Wars: Episode III and IV as the
Empire tightens its grip on the galaxy and a rebellion begins to form. The series,
executive produced by Dave Filoni, Simon Kinberg, and Greg Weisman, 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.
