The Full Trailer For Star Wars Rebels Is The Best Way To Celebrate May the Fourth

Star Wars Rebels is definitely the show you’ve been looking for. Taking place between Episodes III and IV, the one-hour special and subsequent Disney XD series will follow an unlikely band of heroes as they begin to form the Rebellion. It premieres this fall, and you can sign me right up.

And hey, two out of the six main characters are ladies in Star Wars Rebels – Sabine, a Mandalorian, and Hera, a Twi’lek pilot. That’s 33% of the cast, versus Episode VII’s abysmal 15%. Way to go, Star Wars Rebels. Steps in the right direction.
