Star Wars with occasional sarcasm
The usual suspects discuss the season-ending ‘Twilight of the Apprentice’ in a super-sized Rebels Recon.
There’s more questions answered with Dave Filoni over at io9, IGN and /Film. Plus, don’t miss the Q&A that James taped!
Her Universe has a new Ahsoka tee, featuring art by Dave Filoni.
io9 also learned that S3 will feature a lot more Sabine.
Now that you’ve seen ‘Twilight of the Apprentice’, the final episode of season two of Star Wars Rebels, dive into a question and answers session with the cast and crew. Held after the finale screening at Walt Disney Studios in Burbank on Monday, March 28, the Q&A features executive producer & supervising director Dave Filoni, producer Simon Kinberg, and voice actors Ashley Eckstein (Ahsoka Tano) and Taylor Gray (Ezra Bridger). Moderated by Amy Ratcliffe, the cast and crew discuss the hour-long final episode and how it came to be. Plus references to Donkey Kong, Gandalf, and more! Yes, it contains spoilers, so be sure you’ve seen the season finale before viewing!
There’s also a few audience questions, including one about the Grand Inquisitor’s role as a Temple Guard: he was one of the guards in The Clone Wars that arrested Ahsoka and later escorted Barriss Offee into the courtroom. And of course, someone had to ask about bringing Thrawn into the show.
Rebels wraps up their second season tonight – and deals with some old Clone Wars business – with tonight’s one-hour ‘Twilight of the Apprentice’. IGN has an interview with Dave Filoni, Simon Kinberg and Ashley Eckstein where they address the return (again) of Darth Maul, Darth Vader and Ahsoka. Eckstein also chats on StarWars.com.
Fans who don’t want to be spoiled on Twitter should probably mute the hashtag #StarWarsRebels.
Rebels begins at 9:00 p.m. Eastern/Pacific on Disney XD. And yes, there will be a season three, probably beginning in the fall.
Entertainment Weekly has a clip from next week’s Rebels finale, unmasking the ‘Old Master’ we first saw in the trailer for the second half of S2 as Darth Maul. They also chat with Dave Filoni and Sam Witwer about bringing back (again) the villain, Malachor and Sith temples.
We saw some familiar concepts come to life in Rebels’ ‘The Mystery of Chopper Base’ tonight, and there’s just one more (hour-length) episode to go in season 2.
Chopper took the spotlight in tonight’s “The Forgotten Droid,” and in Recon as well. Things get weird, and then Pablo answers a question about Malachor.
Rebels did another go-around with the Force visions in tonight’s ‘Shroud of Darkness.’
Rebels headed to Ryloth in ‘Homecoming.’ Andi talks to Dave Filoni, Pablo Hidalgo, Freddie Prinze Jr. and Cat Taber.
Also, some interesting insight on how the Story Group has changed things behind the scenes from Pablo:
The weird time warp we work in: the #StarWarsRebels episode you're watching tonight affected a book that came out in Apr 2015.

Back in the old days, that novel would have gone to print before someone pointed out, "hey, we're doing a Cham episode."

Well, not true. That's probably an exaggeration. But it would have been ugly.

It’s space whale time on Rebels with ‘The Call.’ Also, Pablo talks science! Sort of.
Rebels returned last night with ‘A Princess on Lothal,’ and on Rebels Recon, Andi Gutierrez discusses bringing Princess Leia to the show with Henry Gilroy, Dave Filoni and Pablo Hidalgo. Also, a B-wing question!
