STAR WARS REBELS Sequel Animated Series Rumored To Be On The Way As Soon As This Year

While we're all left to wonder which Jedi Knight the Mandalorian will track down in season two of the hit Disney+ series, it sounds like a new animated show will pick up with Ahsoka Tano and Sabine Wren...

The Skywalker Saga has reached its end and all eyes are now on what comes next for the Star Wars franchise. We know that season two of The Mandalorian is in the works and an announcement about who will helm a new movie is expected imminently, but a rumour out of Kessel Run Transmissions popped up today claiming that we're getting another animated series.

Star Wars: Resistance has been something of a disappointment after the brilliant Star Wars Rebels, so you may be glad to learn that this show is reportedly going to be a follow-up to the latter. 

The series would put the spotlight on fan-favourite Jedi Ashoka Tano and Sabine Wren as they attempt to track down Ezra Bridger and continue their adventures following the events of Rebels

Dave Filoni is said to be involved in some capacity, but there's a chance he won't serve as showrunner (he's seemingly made the leap to live-action with The Mandalorian and would more than likely prefer to stay there given how well-received his work on that has been). There's no official word on this as of right now and if it is happening, Lucasfilm has done a great job of keeping the news under wraps.

We'll be sure to keep you guys updated if and when we hear more about this one.

of cameos from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker!

Warwick Davis

ewok


During the movie's closing montage, a couple of Ewoks on Endor can be seen celebrating the final fall of the Empire and The First Order. As you might expect, Warwick Davis makes yet another cameo appearance, this time as his original character, Ewok leader Wicket W. Warrick.
 

Mark Hamill

Luke


As expected, Mark Hamill returns to the Star Wars franchise as Luke Skywalker for a far more positive exchange with Rey. 

He also appears as a younger version of himself in a post-Return of the Jedi flashback, which shows Luke training his sister Leia.
 

Jodie Comer

jodie


The Killing Eve star makes a surprise appearance in the movie as Rey's mother in flashbacks which depict her and Rey's father - British actor Billy Howle - being killed by one of Palpatine's loyalists.

While she's the bigger name, it's revealed that Howle's character is The Emperor's son.
 

Lin-Manuel Miranda

Lin


Lin-Manuel Miranda has become a global superstar thanks to his work in Hamilton, and after actually contributing music to this movie, he gets to show up in the background as one of the Resistance fighters when Rey, Finn, and Poe Dameron reunite shortly after the final battle.
 

Denis Lawson

wedge


Denis Lawson's name may not be instantly familiar to you, but his face certainly should be! The actor played pilot Wedge Antilles in the original Star Wars movies and during that epic final battle, he's right there ensuring that the Empire's effort to return is thwarted by the remaining Rebels.
 

The Porgs

progs


There's an awful lot of fan service in The Rise of Skywalker and much of it doesn't work. However, when Rey returns to Ahch-To, we get to see a couple of the adorable creatures watching on as Rey catches up with the Force Ghost of her fallen Jedi Master, Luke Skywalker.
 

John Williams

JWill


The legendary composer (who has now scored every chapter in the Skywalker Saga) finally gets a cameo appearance on Kijimi, and can be seen shaking his head at the movie's heroes as they storm past him while on the hunt for Babu Frik, the tiny alien who can decode what's inside Threepio's mind.
 

Harrison Ford

Han


We said goodbye to Han Solo in The Force Awakens, but the iconic character returns here thanks to an unexpected cameo appearance from the legendary Harrison Ford.

As Kylo Ren finally turns his back on the Dark Side of the Force, his father's words ensure that he's able to embrace the good within him, and we even get an Empire Strikes Back reference!
 

J.J. Abrams

JJ


There's not much point to D-O being in the movie and it's hard to escape the feeling that he's only there to sell toys (like a lot of characters in The Rise of Skywalker). However, if you're wondering where his voice comes from, it's director J.J. Abrams.
 

Some Familiar Voices...

Gon


When Rey finally connects to the Jedi of the past, we get to hear a whole host of voices. They're actually named in the movie's credits and should be instantly familiar to Star Wars fans:
 
• Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen)
 
• Luminara Unduli (Olivia d'Abo)
 
• Ahsoka Tano (Ashley Eckstein)
 
• Aayla Secura (Jennifer Hale)
 
• Adi Gallia (Angelique Perrin)
 
• Mace Windu (Samuel L. Jackson)
 
• Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor/Alex Guinness)
 
• Yoda (Frank Oz)
 
• Kanan Jarrus (Freddie Prinze Jr.)
 
• Qui-Gon Jinn (Liam Neeson)

Yesssss! That and Clone Wars have been my favorite Star Wars since ROJ.

On topic:
Apparently there is also a Luke Skywalker’s “New Jedi order” series in the works!

@Spidernoir - While this sounds quite interesting and like a good series, I can't really get behind it when I know all of it is destined to be burned down and destroyed because 'I sensed some darkness in my nephew so I tried to kill him'.

@Ravenous - this is such an idiotic take on it. He did not try to kill him, he briefly considered it and changed his mind but it was too late by then

@Spidernoir - I heard it's gonna be animated.

If Filoni is involved then bring it on! Rebels was nowhere near as good as Clone Wars but was still really solid (the 4th season in particular being really strong). Also more Ahsoka is never a bad thing. Just don’t make it a travesty like Resistance.

@MrDandy - I watched one episode of Resistance and called it a day.

When people think they can wash away the post-Return of the Jedi EU to justify the existence of the ST and think it can be successful:
Ravenous
Ravenous - 1/3/2020, 9:09 AM
@soberchimera - Exactly. The ST is like a 30 year delay that resets the board all over again.

@soberchimera -
1) It's already been washed away.

2) You seriously think that a direct sequel to TCW and Rebels, the most overwhelmingly popular things Star Wars has done in the last decade, is NOT going to be successful?

I think it would work fine as a fifth season to Rebels. That said, I was also kinda hoping that Sabine Wren is gonna appear in The Mandalorian season 2, especially with that ending there must be some connection
Philvis
Philvis - 1/3/2020, 9:04 AM
@MalseMarcel - that's the characters I'd like to see make an appearance in Mandalorian. I dont need to see core Saga characters. After the sequels, I'm ready to move on and Mandalorian has been great for that!

I thought it the next animated series was supposed to be about Luke’s Jedi Order? Maybe it is still? Either way, I’m looking forward to this. Filoni kills it with Star Wars animated stuff.

This assumes that he prefers the medium and sees the transition as an upgrade. The guy has loads of animation credits dating back to King of the Hill in the late 90s. I doubt he's worked in animation for over two decades just hoping for his chance to escape from the medium. He clearly has a love and appreciation for it. I don't think he'll leave it behind entirely, even if he gets opportunities to expand his horizons with more high profile projects. Brad Bird had great success with Mission Impossible, but still came back to do another Incredibles.
