STAR WARS REBELS: New Featurette Takes Us Inside Last Night's "Droids in Distress"
Following the well-received Star Wars: Spark of Rebellion, the first actual episode of Star Wars Rebels kicked off on Disney XD last night, and the second instalment of "Rebels Recon" features interviews with show's creators, and gives us a first look at next weeks episode, "Fighter Flight".
"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.
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. Executive produced by Dave Filoni, Simon Kinberg, and Greg Weisman. The series premiered on October 3rd as a one-hour special telecast - "Spark of Rebellion" - and you can read my review of that episode by clicking right here.
