Check out our latest look at the new Stars Wars baddie...The Inquisitor. Plus, our first look at the Stormtroopers too!
After so many cartoon series based around The Clone Wars, it is good to see some old favorites back—like the classic Stormtroopers in what is inevitably a Star Destroyer (or Death Star?) hallway.
With this new peek at Disney XD’s Star Wars: Rebels, from many of the same creatives behind Star Wars: Clone Wars, we are finally canonically exploring the roughly two decade era between Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars(or “A New Hope” for the most obtuse purists). That means a fully robust and aggressive Empire struggling with a fledgling intergalactic rebellion for a whole animated series!
In the new image, compliments of EW, we also see the series’ new, original villain: The Inquisitor. This is nasty piece of work hired by the Empire to hunt down rogue Jedi in the aftermath of the third prequel. So a classic Star Wars setting and lightsaber battles still enforced? Talk about having your Kowakian monkey-lizard and eating it too!
Star Wars: Rebels is scheduled to premiere later this year.
