May the force of October be with you. Get ready because Star Wars Rebels is coming to Family Channel and Disney XD.
Star Wars Rebels: Spark of Rebellion introduces a tight crew aboard the Ghost as they challenge an iron fist of the Galactic Empire on a distant world. Set between the events of Star Wars Episode III and IV, the series blends pulse-pounding action with moments of humor and heart, drawing in both longtime fans and newcomers. The ensemble is made up of unique personalities who bring distinct skills to every mission, and their evolving dynamics drive the story. Ezra Bridger, a keen and impulsive young talent, pairs with Kanan Jarrus, a seasoned mentor whose calm leadership keeps the team focused. Hera Syndulla steers the operation with practical strategy, Sabine Wren adds a bold artistic edge to their firepower, Garaz Zeb Orrelios provides steadfast loyalty and grit, and the resourceful droid Chopper keeps the crew ahead of danger. Together, they navigate imperial patrols, encounter new adversaries, and push for a brighter future as they illuminate a spark of rebellion that could change the galaxy.
