Star Wars Rebels Season 1 Release Date and Bonus Features Revealed!
The wait is nearly over – the first season Star Wars Rebels will be available for purchase in September, as previously speculated (though slightly earlier than previously thought). Click ahead to see a list of special features…
From the official Star Wars website:
Hera, Kanan, Ezra, Sabine, Zeb, and Chopper (whether he likes it or not) are coming home. But not to Lothal.
Scheduled for release on Blu-ray and DVD on September 1, Star Wars Rebels: Complete Season One brings another chapter in the epic Star Wars story to your own personal Jedi Archives. With 15 action-packed episodes, never-before-seen bonus material, and interviews with the cast and crew, the only thing missing is your own kyber crystal. You can pre-order the Blu-ray and DVD now at Amazon.

BONUS FEATURES (DVD):
- Rebels Recon: 14 behind-the-scenes featurettes

The set will be released on September 1, with the Blu-Ray version set at the price of $46 USD and the DVD version at $40 USD.
Grant has been a fan of Star Wars for as long as he can remember, having seen every movie on the big screen. When he’s not hard at work with his college studies, he keeps himself busy by reporting on all kinds of Star Wars news for SWNN and general movie news on the sister site, Movie News Net. He served as a frequent commentator on SWNN’s The Resistance Broadcast.
Yes!!! At last.
My credit card will b maxing out this September
I still prefer animation design from clone wars.
Blah blah
^That’s what I hear when you bash the prequels: blah blah.
I agree, but the even the Clone Wars didn’t get really pretty until a few seasons in IMO.

15 episodes?
The movie counts as two episodes, and the rest of the season, thirteen.
Collectively, all of the shorts put together compromise another episode, going by production codes.
Yes, thank you, I found the same explanation, but I will never understand this inconsequent approach regarding the numbers of the episodes.
On one hand, they stressed that Spark of Rebellion is an independent TV movie. The official S01E01 episode was ‘Droids in Distress’.
Furthermore, if it counts as two, the 2+13+1(the shorts) episodes give 16.
The shorts are only included on the Blu-Ray release. I think that’s why they don’t say “16 episodes”.
In any case, you can watch all four shorts online for free.
🙂
So the final conclusion is that ‘Spark of Rebellion’ is not so independent but it includes the episodes S01E00 and S01E0.5 – or something similar.
No Kyber Crystal?
NO SALE!!!
One special feature opportunity missed:
15 minutes of the person that came up with the laser slingshot being pelted by a real one.
Who wouldn’t buy this then!?
So true. Really tacky, like the lightsaber/blaster combo.
Add in the graffiti element and some other small cheesy elements and it just makes you roll your eyes.
I know, it’s for kids…..whatever.
Yes, Ezra’s lightstaple gun is only a minor improvement at best.
It really does look like a stapler. So in season 1 we basically have Aladdin running around in Agrabah with a slingshot and a stapler, causing trouble and always keeping one jump ahead of the breadline.
He’s already an orphan. All that’s missing is the monkey. Star Wars really went full Disney.
$46 ?
in the words of Chopper… “WTF?!”
Just wait a couple of months for it to be heavily discounted.
Disclaimer: Now it’s owned by Disney though it might be a very long wait.
Will there be a Star Wars vault?
I buy a lot of used blurays on amazon… if you can be patient & wait a few months or a year after release… you could probably pick it up for somewhere between 8 to 20 dollars used. While perhaps not ideal for packaging, I’ve never had an issue with used blurays… and I have probably 300 used discs in my collection 🙂
Your 300 discs will make a fine addition to my collection.
Check out this Star Wars theories video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsJfiN-XglA
Why would you link to a spanish speaking video? That makes me so mad!! (Ò_Ó)
Ugh that slingshot rears its ugly head again.
Any news on when the thing will be on Netflix?
Nope. Probably not until the end of the year, I’d imagine.
Star wars is going to become an even more expensive habit, but I’m loving it. The make up however, I’m not buying.
another day, another article devoid of Rogue One news.
Wait until rouge nation comes out and the embargo is lifted. Then all the flood of rumors and confirmations that they’ve been holding back because of marketing agreements will flow forth and you will be a happy camper
It would include “The True Story Behind the Cancellation of The Clone Wars” and I would buy it!
Shucks! After ending the CW cartoon series with Order 66 and bridging EP II to EP III your request is now on Season 2 episode I: Ashoka returns!? Now the adventure begins (forget the Kyle Katarn or Dash Rendar stories) but … well let’s say great Jedi must be sacrificed (parallel to Darth Maul/Darth Tyranus for Sith and Ben Kenobi for Luke Skywalker) so we eventually have … Episode 7 TFA’s new Star Wars experiences! Hooray J.J. Abrams I AM STILL DYING HERE AND ONLY ON LIFE SUPPORT! … WILL I MAKE IT!?
no UK release??
nothing on amazon uk.
Just like the Lost Missions then – unless you want an import.
Disgraceful!! Disney seem to be ignoring us in the UK with the TV shows! I’ve can’t find any news for season 2 of Rebels on Disney XD UK either!
i guess i’ll just wait for complete series, as with clone wars.
