Disney: "Star Wars Rebels" film to air this summer on Disney Channel

By Chris Seekell

Our friends at The Star Wars Geeks Unite Podcast are reporting that Disney announced a Star Wars Rebels TV film in their annual shareholder letter.

The following is an excerpt from the Fiscal Year 2013 Annual Financial Report And Shareholder Letter from Disney:

"While the world eagerly awaits Episode VII to open in theaters, we’re introducing Star Wars Rebels to television audiences this summer with a movie and a series of shorts on Disney Channel, followed by a continuing series on Disney XD."

This news comes a week after a rumor surfaced that the series would be introduced with summer vignettes and an hour long special in October.

It looks like that rumor was nearly correct. We are now awaiting a public announcement from Disney concerning the vignettes and film.

  2. Doubtful most of them are dead and wouldn't fit the more Original Trilogy vibe of the show. Besides I think fresh, new and exciting characters are the way forward.

  3. I hope to see Ahsoka Tano again in the show, as well as Captain Rex and Admiral Yuralen! :D
