Star Wars Insider Magazine Issue #152 has released the titles, as well as the writers and directors, of the first six episodes and the four shorts, of the upcoming animated series Star Wars Rebels. They are:

Episode 106: “Rise of the Old Masters”

Besides the episode titles, another reveal from this list is that Star Wars: The Clone Wars veteran Henry Gilroy is working on the series. Gilroy had a major hand in getting that series off the ground writing many episodes from seasons 1,2, and 3, as well as an arc in season 4 and the 2008 film. Other The Clone Wars veteran returning are Steward Lee (although he was announced back at NYCC) and Justin Ridger. Lee directed 21 episodes of The Clone Wars over all six seasons and Ridger directed 4 episodes in seasons 1 and 2. Steward's brother Steve Lee is also on board as a director. Steve is a veteran of LucasArts (he too was announced at NYCC).
Also, there seems to be fewer writers and directors than on The Clone Wars. Over this first group of episodes and shorts there are only four directors and three writers. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, just that it's interesting to note. It could lead to more continuity in the style of the series than The Clone Wars, which, at times, could be all over the map.
