Star Wars Rebels , the first major Star Wars project release after Disney bought Lucasfilm , isabout to become very , very authoritative . And , if by chance you have n’t seen it yet , or just desire to learn it again , now is the everlasting import . We ’ve got it all exercise out for you .
There ’s been a whole luck of Star Warssince that fateful daytime in 2012 . Under Disney , Lucasfilm has released new Star Wars movies , the first live - action idiot box shows , comics , book , anime , you name it . But Star Wars Rebels , which was the first big matter to come out , may still be the good . The 2014 quicken series top byDave Filonifollowed arag - ticket radical of heroestraversing the galax in the meter time period between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope and had everything you love about Star Wars — Jedi , Sith , Rebels , Imperials , mythology , new reference , old characters , raging planet , incredible creatures , space conflict , and more — in just the right balance to feel Modern , yet also nostalgic . Exciting , but poignant . humourous , but heartfelt .
maverick ran for four seasonsending in 2018 , well before the launch of Disney+ . A home like Disney+ would have made watch out the show super easy ( like it does right now ) , but instead , Rebels episode air mostly on Disney XD , a overseas telegram place way up in your cable listing you probably do n’t even make out you have , if you have it at all . And because of how laborious it was to rule the show , Rebels never quite hit that Star Wars zeitgeist it in all likelihood should have .

That ’s decease to change this summer because the next hot - action Star Wars show , Ahsoka , instantly be the event of Star Wars Rebels . independent characters fromRebels such as Chopper , Hera Syndulla ( voiced by Vanessa Marshall on Rebels , now played on Ahsoka by Mary Elizabeth Winstead ) , Sabine Wren ( voice by Tiya Sircar , now play by Natasha Liu Bordizzo ) and Ezra Bridger ( voiced by Taylor Gray , now play by Eman Esfandi ) all play a major role . One of the show ’s main villain , Grand Admiral Thrawn ( voiced and played by Lars Mikkelsen ) , first appeared on Rebels . And , of course , Ahsoka herself ( voiced by Ashley Eckstein , now played by Rosario Dawson ) did n’t get her start on Rebels — her first appearance came in Filoni ’s 2008 animated film Star war : The Clone Wars — but she still had a pregnant function .
So , if you want to knowwhat ’s going on in Ahsokathere ’s no good situation to start than watching or rewatching Star Wars Rebels . And the time to start is now . The clock is tick off . Here ’s how it fall in down .
We experience that Ahsoka is debuting on Disney+ in August . We do n’t know the specific engagement yet , so we ’re just speculate here , but August 2 is a solid hypothesis . That ’s the first Wednesday of the month ; most Star Wars show debut on a Wednesday , and if it debuts any afterward , it make your Star Wars Rebels crash course even easier .

It ’s now early May andthere are 75 episodes of Star Wars Rebelsto get through . permit ’s do some math : you basically have 13 weeks until August 2 . Thirteen calendar week is 91 days . If you part watching an installment of Star Wars Rebels every day from this week , you ’ll make it through with plenty of time to save . If you prefer to take weekends off , that pull up stakes 65 days , so you ’ll have to double up once a workweek to finish all 75 episodes in time .
But who can determine just one ? If you desire to overindulge , you’re able to do it in pretty realizable chunks . Every episode of Star Wars Rebels ( with the exception of the finale ) is around 24 bit long ( thank you , broadcast TV ) . Season one is 15 episode , seasons two and three are each 22 episodes , and season four is 16 episodes . So you ’re looking at six hours for time of year one , almost nine hours for seasons two and three , then about seven hours for time of year four . That ’s about 31 hours totality . Not an peanut amount , but we ’re basically talking about 15 movies . Can you watch a film a week until August ? Of course you could .
And if you do , you ’ll realize just how exciting this upcoming Ahsoka show is to Star Wars Rebels fans . To see what Ahsoka and Sabine have design to discover Ezra and Thrawn . To see what Hera and her son Jacen are up to . And to , maybe , feel out more about what Ahsoka has been doing all these geezerhood , especially the ones where her former master , Anakin Skywalker , almost sully his son ( and Ahsoka ’s new acquaintance ) Luke before at last being redeem . It ’s going to be an incredible ride .
you could discover all of Star Wars Rebels ( include its prequel short circuit , which are 16 minutes entire ) streamingon Disney+ .
