Star Wars Rebels is an American 3D CGI animated television series produced by Lucasfilm Animation. Set fourteen years after Revenge of the Sith and five years before A New Hope, Rebels takes place during an era when the Galactic Empire is securing its grip on the galaxy. Imperial forces are hunting down the last of the Jedi Knights while a fledgling rebellion against the Empire is taking form. The visual style of Star Wars Rebels is inspired by the original Star Wars trilogy concept art by Ralph McQuarrie.[1]

It premiered as a 44-minute film, Star Wars Rebels: Spark of Rebellion, on October 3, 2014 on Disney Channel prior to the premiere of the series on October 13 on Disney XD.[2][3] Dave Filoni, Simon Kinberg and Greg Weisman served as executive producers of season one. Kinberg stated that the first season would contain 16 episodes (released as four shorts, a film, and 13 episodes) and that the series will feature new characters along with ones from the original trilogy.[4][5] Weisman left the show after season one.[6]

Premise

Fourteen years after the fall of the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Council in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith,[7] a motley group of rebels (all of whom have been affected by the Galactic Empire in one form or another) band together aboard a freighter starship called the Ghost. Their small six person rebel cell conducts operations against the Imperial garrison on and around the backwater planet Lothal, as a microcosm of how the rebellion against the Empire is playing out at the local level.

The series will also focus on the origins of some of the groups that will form the Rebel Alliance. Plans for an upcoming third season were announced on November 30, 2015.[8]

Cast and characters

Crew of the Ghost

  • Taylor Gray as Ezra Bridger:
A 15-year-old human with Force abilities whose parents were arrested and imprisoned by Imperial forces; he survived on the streets of the Imperial-controlled planet Lothal for seven years before joining the crew of the Ghost. He is armed with an energy slingshot and later builds a lightsaber with a built-in stun blaster in the hilt. On his character, Gray stated, "He's a pickpocket, he's a little thief. But he's doing it all because he needs to survive." Executive producer Greg Weisman said, "We see this whole series very much through Ezra's eyes. As his eyes get opened to what the Empire's capable of, his eyes are opened to the fact that there are people who care, who are trying to fight the good fight, and he becomes one of them."[9] In the second season episode "Legacy", he learns from Ryder Azadi that his parents were killed during a mass breakout from the Imperial prison in which they were confined.
A human Jedi survivor of Order 66 trained under master Depa Billaba and the de facto leader of the Ghost crew, armed with a two-piece dual-phase lightsaber and DL-18 blaster. Executive producer Dave Filoni describes the character as a "cowboy Jedi". Animation supervisor Keith Kellogg said, "He is a Jedi but he's not a Jedi in the traditional sense that we've had before on the show. He's a little more rough around the edges. He's kept his lightsaber locked away, so he hasn't used it in a long time."[10] In "Legacy," it is revealed that Kanan never knew his parents.
The Twi'lek owner and pilot of the Ghost. Filoni said, "She is a very strong-minded character, kind of the heart of the group, keeps everyone together when they would otherwise fall apart."[11] She is the daughter of Cham Syndulla, who appeared in Star Wars: The Clone Wars.[12]
A 16-year-old Mandalorian graffiti artist, Imperial Academy dropout and former bounty hunter with expert knowledge of weapons and explosives. CG supervisor of lighting and FX Joel Aron said, "She's adding something that we haven't really seen before in the Star Wars universe. You have a character that is expressively creative through art—whether it's the color of her hair or what she's done to her armor."[13]
A Lasat honor guard whose people were one of the first species to rise up against the Empire in its early days, which responded by massacring their homeworld to make an example of them. This near-extinction has left him with a gruff demeanor, but he has remained loyal to the struggle against the Empire as the muscle of Ghost crew. His physical appearance is based on Ralph McQuarrie's original conceptual artwork for Chewbacca. Art director Kilian Plunkett said, "Zeb actually is very articulate and witty and funny, and that's sort of juxtaposed with what he looks like, makes for an interesting character."[14]

Additionally, C1-10P (aka "Chopper"), is an irritable and irascible astromech droid built and owned by Hera. His design is heavily modeled on the original Ralph McQuarrie conceptual artwork for R2-D2. Because the Lothal rebels are a small cell on a backwater planet, they couldn't afford a new droid, so Chopper is an older model that they patched up with replacement parts, making a finicky but at least functional droid to help run the ship. Describing the character, Filoni said, "He likes to do things the way that he wants, not necessarily the way the crew wants or as fast as the crew would like, but he gets the job done. He's incredibly loyal." He also summarized as, "If R2's your favorite dog, Chopper's a cat."[15]

Galactic Empire

The Emperor of the Galactic Empire and Darth Vader's Sith Master.[16] After learning from Vader that Ahsoka Tano is among the rebel forces, Palpatine orders Vader to send out more Inquisitors to hunt her down and capture her, intending to use her to uncover more surviving Jedi.
The Imperial army's cyborg Sith commander who was originally the Jedi Anakin Skywalker before falling to the Dark Side with his body damaged while on Mustafar. He first appeared in the extended cold opening scene that was added to ABC's broadcast of Spark of Rebellion on October 26, 2014, where he orders the Grand Inquisitor through a communications hologram to hunt down the remaining Jedi and try to lure any Force-sensitive children they take as their Padawans. Filoni stated, "We wanted to do something special for the ABC broadcast. We've added a scene which gives audiences insight into the Inquisitor and includes a cameo by Darth Vader, voiced by the distinguished actor James Earl Jones."[17][18] Vader later appears in "Fire Across the Galaxy" where he appears before Grand Moff Tarkin and Agent Kallus sometime after the Grand Inquisitor's death. He appears in the Season 2 premiere movie The Siege of Lothal as the main antagonist, where he arrives after Tarkin requests extra assistance in dealing with the rebels following the demise of the Inquisitor. Vader then mercilessly oppresses the planet—he wipes out most of the rebel cell in the Lothal system, injures half the Ghost crew, destroys Ezra's home and a community of displaced people on Lothal, and has Minister Tua murdered so as to frame the rebels for the acts as killers and terrorists, turning the planet's population against them and driving them off Lothal entirely. After learning Ahsoka Tano—his former Jedi apprentice—is amongst the rebels, Vader is ordered by the Emperor to continue hunting them down by dispatching more Inquisitors to capture Ahsoka, in the hopes that she will lead them to other Jedi.
The Imperial Governor of the Outer Rim Territories, within which Lothal is located. When Kanan and his group become too much for Kallus and the Grand Inquisitor to deal with, he comes to Lothal to personally take charge, eventually bringing in Darth Vader to deal with the issue of the Jedi.
A high-ranking agent of the Imperial Security Bureau and skilled rebel hunter serving under Darth Vader and working with the Inquisitors. More often than not, he is able to recognize rebel traps and set his own, which nearly succeed in capturing the Lothal rebels. Kallus was present when the Empire massacred the Lasat homeworld of Lasan (Zeb's species) and even personally gave the order to use soon-after banned disruptor weapons in the assault. He is also a highly trained hand-to-hand combatant and carries a rare Lasat bo-rifle which he personally pried from the dead hand of a Lasat Honor Guard when their homeworld fell to the Galactic Empire.[19][20] Kallus becomes one of Vader's enforcers in Season 2 and was the one who set up Minister Maketh Tua's murder on Vader's orders by rigging her shuttle to explode.
An Imperial Navy officer in charge of the Imperial blockade on Lothal and later assisting in the Empire's rebellion pursuit.
An Imperial officer stationed on Lothal as Imperial Supply Master of Capital City.[21]
An Imperial Commandant and Taskmaster, respectively, that are stationed on the planet Lothal. In "Call to Action", the Grand Inquisitor executed them by beheading them off screen under the orders of Grand Moff Tarkin as punishment for their persistent failures in apprehending the Lothal rebels.[21]
A Lothal native and minister for the Galactic Empire. She was a graduate of the Imperial Academy. With Planetary Governor Pryce frequently absent conducting business on Coruscant itself, Minister Tua is in charge of the Imperial bureaucracy which runs the day-to-day government on Lothal. Her major tasks include the ongoing efforts to centralize commerce and production on the planet under Imperial control and promoting development of the planet's new TIE fighter factory, to meet the economic goals set by Tarkin's Five Year Plan. After Kanan's escape from Tarkin at Mustafar during the Season 1 finale, Minister Tua fears she will be blamed for failing to apprehend the other Lothal rebels and tries to defect to the Rebel forces in order to escape. She is killed when Agent Kallus blows up her shuttle on the orders of Darth Vader, who then frames the Rebels for her death.
An exiled Senator who has the courage to speak out publicly against the Empire[22] by occasionally hacking into holonet news broadcasts. In "Vision of Hope," it was revealed that he was actually in league with the Empire and he attempted to lure the Ghost crew into a trap. In the same episode, it was revealed that Gall Trayvis knew Ezra's parents.

Additionally, the Stormtroopers (Various Voices) are the foot soldiers of the Galactic Empire.

Inquisitors

The Inquisitors are Force-sensitive agents of the Galactic Empire armed with gyroscopic double-bladed lightsabers that are used by Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine to hunt down the remaining Jedi in the galaxy. The Inquisitors' unique lightsaber designs were based on an unused concept from The Force Unleashed video game.[23]

A Pau'an Inquisitor who served as the main antagonist of season 1. He first appeared in the extended cold opening of "Spark of Rebellion," where he is ordered by Darth Vader to hunt down any Jedi who survived Order 66 and try to either lure any Force-sensitive children the Jedi in question take as their Padawans to the dark side or destroy them if they refuse. The Grand Inquisitor saw the opportunity to do so when called by Agent Kallus to help him hunt down the rebels when Kanan is discovered a Jedi. After being defeated by Kanan in "Fire Across the Galaxy," he committed suicide by falling into a flaming reactor core. As The Seventh Sister revealed in "Always Two There Are," the Grand Inquisitor's death has left an opening for the other Inquistors to compete with each other to take his place.
An Inquisitor of an unknown species who serves as one of the two main antagonists of season 2 and the partner of The Seventh Sister. After "The Siege of Lothal," he is sent by Darth Vader under Emperor Palpatine's orders to hunt the rebels down after Ahsoka is discovered among them. He first appeared in "Relics of the Old Republic," where he meets with Admiral Konstantine telling him that he will finish the job that Admiral Konstantine and Agent Kallus had failed at. In "Always Two There Are," The Fifth Brother and The Seventh Sister attack Ezra, Sabine, Zeb, and Chopper during their visit to an old base that was used during the Clone Wars.
A Mirialan Inquisitor in a metal mask that covers her entire face who serves as one of the two main antagonists of season 2 and the partner of The Fifth Brother, accompanied by miniature Probe Droids. She first appeared in "Always Two There Are," acting on her own to capture the crew of the Ghost with The Fifth Brother assisting her.

Recurring

The Togruta Padawan of Anakin Skywalker, who left the Jedi Order before Order 66 occurred. She appeared several times during Season 1 using the codename "Fulcrum", a secret informant who provides Hera with Intel on Imperial activities and supplies, though she used a voice scrambler to hide her identity so the Empire could not track her. Her real identity was revealed to the Lothal rebels (and the TV audience) in the Season 1 finale "Fire Across the Galaxy". Though she left the Jedi Order, she still commands the Force and carries a pair of white lightsabers. The rebel cell she is in league with—Phoenix Squadron—is nearly wiped out by Darth Vader in "The Siege of Lothal" where she uncovers the horrifying truth that Vader is actually her former master. She joins the Ghost along with the survivors of her devastated cell to wage war against the rest of the Empire.
A Clone trooper captain who aids the Rebel forces alongside his fellow clones, serving under Anakin Skywalker during the Clone Wars and was a close friend of both him and his apprentice, Ahsoka Tano. After the Clone Wars subsided, revealed to have removed the inhibitor chip inside his head alongside Wolffe and Greggor to have no role in Order 66, Rex and his fellow clones made their home in a salvaged AT-TE walker while they remained in exile in the Outer Rim prior to their discovery by the Lothal Rebels with Rex joining their crew at Ahsoka's behest to help in the Rebellion.
The leader of the Phoenix Squadron rebel cell.
The Senator of planet Alderaan and current owner of C-3PO and R2-D2, who is secretly one of the main leaders organizing the network of rebel cells that will eventually become the Rebel Alliance. After discretely using the droids to inspect the Lothal rebel cell in the first episode "Droids in Distress", he sends a small fleet of frigates crewed by other rebel cells to aid the escape of the Lothal rebels in the Season 1 finale, inviting them to join the larger network growing against the Empire.
A gambling smuggler who wins Chopper in a game of Sabacc against Zeb, but returns him when the Ghost crew smuggled him and his puffer pig that he traded from Azmorigan past the Imperial blockade. He later aids the Ghost crew in their escape from Darth Vader's forces on Lothal in exchange for stolen Imperial goods.
A Devaronian crime lord who the Ghost crew occasionally runs errands and smuggles goods for in exchange for credits and intel.
A Jablogian crime lord and business partner of Vizago's, who Lando Calrissian used to do business with. In his first appearance in "Idiot's Array", he was tricked by Calrissian into giving the entrepreneur a mining-purposed puffer pig and trading it for Hera, who then outsmarted Azmorigan and escaped from his ship, the Merchant One, and back to Calrissian and the Ghost crew. However, Azmorigan knew where they were headed (to Vizago's mining estate) and cornered them there, demanding compensation involving the puffer pig, Hera, the Ghost, its crew and Calrissian be handed over for his betrayal. The rebels refused and sent the kingpin and his syndicate on their way after a brief fight.
  • Tiffani Amber Thessin as Commander Kelly Kapowski (CC-3636):
A clone female commando who aids the Rebel forces alongside her fellow clones. Served under Jedi Master B'Elanna Torres during the Clone Wars, Kapowski is physically notabled for her maimed right eye.

Kenobi broadcasts this warning off-screen in Revenge of the Sith, but it is shown in the first episode of Rebels.

The 800-plus-year-old Jedi Master who went into exile on the planet Dagobah following the Jedi Purge. Appearing only as a disembodied voice in "Path of the Jedi", Filoni stated, "I felt personally to keep Yoda as this disembodied thing it would confuse the audience less. I didn't want you to think Yoda could be teleporting from planet to planet."[24]
A Weequay who led the Onaka Gang (a group of space pirates that operated on the Outer Rim) during the Clone Wars until he lost the crew to the Galactic Empire. Ezra and Chopper met Hondo in "Brothers of the Broken Horn" when they answered his distress signal and learned that he had won Cikatro Vizago's ship. Following a fight with Azmorigan, Ezra learned that Hondo actually took over Vizago's ship and locked him up aboard it. After Vizago is freed, Hondo escaped from Vizago's ship only to fly back to the Ghost. Hondo allows the crew of the Ghost to keep the generators that Commander Sato needed and takes his leave.
