PREMIERE TELECAST ON DISNEY CHANNELS AROUND THE WORLD
ON OCTOBER 3
Continuing
the epic tradition of the legendary Star Wars saga, an exciting animated
one-hour movie "Star Wars Rebels: Spark of Rebellion" will be
available first to verified users on WATCHDisneyXD.com and the WATCH Disney XD
app beginning MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 29. WATCH Disney XD allows consumers to watch
on tablet, phones, computer and set top boxes.
The
global television debut of "Star Wars Rebels: Spark of Rebellion" is
set for FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3 (9:00p.m., ET/PT in the U.S.)
on Disney Channels around the world, ushering
in the series "Star Wars Rebels"
beginning MONDAY, OCTOBER 13 (9:00 p.m., ET/PT) on Disney XD.
The series will air in 34 languages across 163 countries in over 400
million households.
The
television movie garnered rave reviews at last month's San Diego Comic-Con fan
event for its story (set between the events of Star Wars Episodes III and IV)
and its look -- akin to the classic Star Wars trilogy. The series designs
are influenced by the work of original Star Wars concept artist Ralph
McQuarrie.
The
story unfolds during a dark time when the evil Galactic Empire is tightening
its grip of power on the galaxy. Imperial forces have occupied a remote planet
and are ruining the lives of its people. The motley but clever crew of the
starship Ghost -- cowboy Jedi Kanan, ace pilot Hera, street-smart teenager
Ezra, the "muscle" Zeb, warrior firebrand Sabine, and cantankerous
old astromech droid Chopper -- is among a select few who are brave enough to
stand against the Empire. Together, they will face threatening new villains,
encounter colorful adversaries, embark on thrilling adventures and become
heroes with the power to ignite a rebellion.
"Star
Wars Rebels" is created by Dave Filoni (Star Wars: The Clone Wars), Simon
Kinberg (X-Men: Days of Future Past, Sherlock Holmes), and Carrie Beck. The
Lucasfilm Animation production is also executive-produced by Filoni and Kinberg
as well as Greg Weisman (Gargoyles).
The
talented voice cast includes Freddie Prinze Jr. as Kanan, Vanessa Marshall as
Hera, Steve Blum as Zeb, Tiya Sircar as Sabine, Taylor Gray as Ezra, David
Oyelowo as Agent Kallus and Jason Isaacs as the Inquisitor.
