    Imperial agent Kallus is the main enemy of the two-episode series premiere, which also features Wookiees

    The Imperial Inquisitor, whose voice has been a topic of intense conversation since he was first revealed, will be played by Harry Potter star Jason Isaacs.

    Definitely some cool stuff. Especially if the report about Obi Wan appearing in the premiere is true! We’re just a few months away from “Star Wars Rebels,” and it can’t come soon enough! The more we learn about it, the more awesome it gets!

    Star Wars Rebels Sneak Peak To Air After The Phineas And Ferb Star Wars Episode

    The Disney animated series “Phineas and Ferb” will be doing a Star Wars themed episode that will air on the Disney Channel Saturday, July 26th. But what’s most interesting about the “Phineas and Ferb” Star Wars episode, is that when it has a repeat airing on August 4th, there will be an extended look at “Star Wars Rebels” immediately after on Disney XD.

    The official press release for the episode states that on August 4th at 7:30 pm, Disney XD will be airing a Star Wars-themed programming block that includes the “Phineas and Ferb” Star Wars episode, and will be followed by an extended look at “Star Wars Rebels.” No details about what the extended look will include, but there have been some new “Star Wars Rebels” clips and inside look videos being shown at Star Wars Weekends the last few weeks, so maybe what’s being shown there, is what will be included in this extended look on August 4th. We’ll be sure to keep you updated if more information get’s revealed about this extended look.

    Billy Dee Williams Confirms He’s Involved In Star Wars Rebels

    Billy Dee Williams is a guest this week at Disney’s Star Wars Weekends, and it’s being reported that during the “Stars of the Saga” show today, where Billy Dee sits down with James Arnold Taylor for a conversation about Star Wars, he revealed that he is in fact involved with “Star Wars Rebels.” Via Making Star Wars, it was first reported in a tweet by The Wolf Pack Podcast who was in attendance at the “Stars of the Saga” show today, where they say that they didn’t show a clip, but Billy Dee said “he was enjoying working on Star Wars Rebels.”

    Now Billy Dee Williams doesn’t exactly say he’s voicing Lando in “Star Wars Rebels” during the show, but it’s hard to imagine he would be playing anyone else in Rebels. But we’ll have to wait and see until we hear an official announcement from Lucasfilm to know for sure.

    Star Wars Past, Present and Future

    Star Wars is a universe unlike any other. Its characters and stories have touched generations of fans across the world. Dave Filoni represents not only the fan that exists in all of us, but is also one of the key creatives at Lucasfilm. From when George Lucas asked Dave to helm Lucasfilm Animation’s Star Wars: The Clone Wars to the development of the highly anticipated animated television series Star Wars Rebels, Dave is the past, present and future of this great legacy of storytelling. Join Dave as he describes his journey to a galaxy far, far away as a fan and as a filmmaker.

    We’ll see if Dave shares any new details on “Star Wars Rebels” during his presentation, but there has been talk of a new “Star Wars Rebels” app launching, so that may be one of the topics that Dave will be talking about. But regardless of any new info or announcements, it’s always great to hear Dave talk about Star Wars, so this event during Apple’s World Wide Developers Conference is one not to be missed by Star Wars fans attending.
