Disney is using what has become known as Star Wars Day (May the Fourth ... be with you) to premiere the first official trailer for its new animated television show STAR WARS: REBELS. It will also be broadcasting the first LEGO STAR WARS: THE YODA CHRONICLES episode (a comedic look at the Star Wars Universe through the use of Lego building blocks ) to appear on the Disney cable network since the show was moved from Cartoon Network.
According to the STAR WARS: REBELS production team, this is the official synopsis for the new series:
Star Wars Rebels continues the
epic tradition of the legendary Star Wars saga with all-new exciting,
action-packed adventures. It is a dark time in the galaxy, as the evil Galactic
Empire tightens its grip of power from world to world. As the series begins,
Imperial forces have occupied a remote planet, ruling with an iron fist and
ruining the lives of its people. The clever and motley crew of the starship
Ghost is amongst a select few who are brave enough to stand against the Empire.
Together, this ragtag group 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 will debut with an hour long special this summer on the Disney Channel and half hour weekly episodes will air on Disney XD starting in the fall.
The YODA CHRONICLES though having a "new name" appear similar to the same format of the show that recently ran on Cartoon Network. These are funny shows that are enjoyable for parents and kids to enjoy together. The quips often have both me and my kids chuckling. If you have time this weekend, tune in to THE NEW YODA CHRONICLES and enjoy an extra special treat by getting a sneak peek at the new STAR WARS: REBELS animated series.
May the Fourth be with You!
