Star Wars Rebels was our first look at the new revamped Star Wars universe and the newly released Season 2 trailer is bringing the best of the original and prequel trilogies to the series. The trailer was released during the Rebels panel at Star Wars Celebration and floored the audience with revelations about the upcoming second season. Without further ado, check out the awesome below:
All I can say is: Wow! Fans already knew Star Wars: The Clone Wars favorite Ahsoka Tano returned, very much alive, but this trailer also reveals the return of Captain Rex! The clone soldier is older and grayer in Star Wars Rebels, but the footage shows he’s still great in a fight and not impressed by these new “stormtroopers.”
Did we mention Vader is in this? Because Vader is in this. Lots of Vader, being all kinds of badass and even voiced by the original Dark Lord of the Sith himself, James Earl Jones. The former Jedi appears poised to be a much heavier presence in Season 2, filling the void left by the fall of The Inquisitor in the Season 1 finale. It’s pretty incredible seeing Vader in his prime and wiping the floor with Kanaan and Ezra.
Which begs the question: How far off is a showdown with his former padawan Ahsoka? Not far, if you’ve seen this promo poster from Star Wars Celebration:
Star Wars Rebels Season 2 will return to Disney XD in late 2015, but no official release date has been confirmed.
