Are you a fan of Disney’s Star Wars Rebels? – Skatronixxx
With all the frenzy surrounding the new era of Star Wars starting with The Force Awakens coming to a cinema near you this December. Its easy to forget about the old era, or more accurately, the original era which is still very much alive on our Tv screens with Disney’s Star Wars Rebels.
Fans of the original series set between the first and second trilogy of films will be pleased to hear that the Disney X.D. animated series has been renewed for a third consecutive season. Kiri Hart, Senior VP of Development at Lucasfilm, commented in a press release that ‘the show continues to tell fun, heartfelt, exciting new Star Wars stories week after week, and it’s beloved by fans of all ages.’
For the uninitiated, Star Wars Rebels follows the misfit team aboard The Ghost as they find themselves recruited by the start of a Rebellion that looks to defeat the evil Galactic Empire. A spiritual successor of the popular Star Wars: The Clone Wars that ran for six seasons (and the last Star Wars project to be overseen by George Lucas himself). Rebels has seen its numbers grow since it debut early this year, due in no small part the appearance of Darth Vader as the shows primary antagonist and a re-appearance of The Clone Wars fan favourite Ahsoka Tano (Ashley Eckstein) in season two.
Currently the second most-watched show on the companies child-centric cable channel Disney XD. The series has also proven a ratings hit with adult viewers with more than 48 million worldwide. With season two yet to finish its current run, Hart teased that season three ‘will see our Rebel heroes face new obstacles and find new allies in their fight against the Empire.’
Season Two is currently airing repeats daily on Disney XD with new episodes debuting every Saturday morning in the UK.
