Star Wars Rebels: Director Dave Filoni Discusses Season Two.

Rebel NetworkWith the release of Season One of Star Wars Rebels on DVD/Blu-Ray, Season Two is ripe for discussion. Take a look inside to see a short video from series director Dave Filoni – featuring new concept art – and some more information on the future of the series that was learned.

 

 

The people at Rebels Report also uncovered a little bit more about the coming episodes. Here’s a quick guide of new information to consider:

 

  • The Inquisitor in Season One was the “Grand Inquisitor” – the Inquisitors in Season Two were ranked below him.
  • Sabine changes her hair and armor because meeting Vader was such a harrowing experience.
  • Zeb has an “awakening” in Season Two and comes into a better understanding of what happened to his people, and who his adversary really is.
  • A better back story on Hera [is revealed], [detailing] who her father is [and what her situation with him is], where she came from, and her people.
  • A great new bounty hunter [is introduced].
  • There will be a Sabine/Kanan episode, which will feature some “more Mandalorian things” that will go on.
  • You will find out about Ezra and his parents.

 

The page also has some concept art that was not shown in the above video.

 

Rebels Season Two begins on October 14 on Disney XD.

      Nothing I’ve heard… but expect tons of tons of Ralph McQuarrie imitation artwork.

        fyi, that was the intention of his work, to create the style.

        As it should be…Ralph IS the vision of Star Wars….I do not understand why so many people are against it and get bent out of shape for the use of his style and old concepts…He was just as important to this Universe as Lucas was….if not more.Ralph’s missing presence in the PT is quite obvious withing 5 minutes of episode one and left a hole in that whole trilogy.

      I think the source on that was just f—ing with us, unfortunately.

      But from the sound of things, there’s a Thrawn-like character that gets introduced in Aftermath. And it could possibly be Thrawn.

        Nah. Thrawn doesn’t deserve to be ruined by this show.

    Any word as to who Sarah Michelle Gellar is playing?

      • September 3, 2015 at 9:52 am
        Permalink

        “Aileen Zahn” was a deliberate fake from “Spoiler-Babe”, someone who came here to screw with everyone. A few people went with her BS and the rumors spread. But I can assure you, that and the other rumors she brought up were complete horse excrement.

        Deductive reasoning would indicate that Sarah Michelle Gellar is most likely playing the mystery character that Dave Filoni was alluding to here, which is why we know nothing about who she’s playing. At SWCA, I think that Dave Filoni explicitly said that he didn’t want to give anything away about SMG’s character.

      Yes. I like (almost) EVERYTHING in Rebels, but not Sabine’s character which is clearly a Disney thing.

        yes that’s exactly what we want and need. The ghost crew sucks. They should have just used existing characters. They could have used Biggs wedge or other pre rebel alliance members. There’s gotta be cameos from Han Obi wan or Luke

    Awesome, so grand Inquisitor was a totally useless in his job and chose death instead facing Vader. Are we supposed to believe that his subordinates will be better?
    And I can’t wait for Mandalorian things. Canonical Mandalorians are shame.

    I don’t understand why someone who doesn’t like the show will click into this link, and take the time to tell everyone that they do not like it. Seems so idiotic.

    & to groan for the reason of Sabine’s hair color is just too early… Let’s see how the story pans out before unleashing all the negativity.

    I myself am quite enjoying the series & can’t wait for season 2

      It’s not groaning about Sabine’s hair color. It’s groaning about the teenage emo reason she changed it.

      She’s a clearly supposed to be an emotional hipster artist, rebelling against the grey world trying to put some color on it. What a great influence for the kids.

      Dunno. Filoni will probably resurect an already dead character/s, like he did in TCW. Guy can’t do much better, the future of his project is pretty dim. But that’s nowadays world – reboots, resurrections, gender swapping.

      Yeah, until it makes it into an actual source I am just goign to consider that a concept.

      I think it would be better if canonically vader was the “grand inquisitor” as that would explain how he is viewed by an empire that largely doesnt know of the fact that he is Sith.

    “A better back story on Hera [is revealed], [detailing] who her father is [and what her situation with him is], where she came from, and her people.”

    The way this is worded makes it seem that Cham is in fact still alive, which could be interesting and have a big impact on the Rebellion.

    The fact that this show is cannon and some other things (like the thrawn books) are not, is laughable. This show is entertaining to watch, but let’s get real…

      Yeah, I’m having trouble imagining a real paintjob Mandalorian running around throwing paint explosives. Even less an alien constantly clonking stormtroopers heads together.

        You have to explore the EU for the real Mandalorians. Filoni’s Mandalorians are pathetic, they are a disgrace to Mandalorians.

    of course they don’t, nor do they care about the older fans. as stated, my opinion. But he has done soo much that has altered Star Wars, and not in a good way.

    This show is pure garbage, The Force Unleashed was 100x a better story of the rebellion and that’s not saying much.

    Aimed at ages 12 and younger. If you’re a grown man and defend this show beyond the reason of it being appropriate for your kids, that’s pretty sad.

    TCW was hardly acceptable, and that had a good story to make up for the childish art and dialogue. This show has nothing.

    I really can’t fathom the hate I’m seeing for this show. IMO, the show is amazing. I absolutely love it, and think it is much more in the tone of REAL Star Wars than anything in the PT. I enjoyed The Clone Wars series, but this one is much better. I just can’t understand the haters. I’m generally a very critical person, but I’ve actually liked or even loved nearly everything that has come out from the new canon. I was a huge fan of the EU, but the fact that it’s gone now doesn’t make the new stuff bad, this show included. People just love to hate on things.

      You use the word hate like a leftist SJW.

      We do not hate it. We simply dislike it.
      We dislike it because it’s overly childish.
      It would be easier to accept had it not been canon.

      This is the internet. Get used to the freedom that comes with it.
