Following on from yesterday’s batch of Imperial propaganda material, more and more details are being released regarding the latest from a galaxy far far away.
Disney’s Chairman and CEO Bob Iger has revealed some of the plans regarding the release of Star Wars Rebels. This quarter’s letter to investors contains the following –
“We’re introducing Star Wars Rebels to television audiences this summer with a movie and a series of shorts on Disney Channel, followed by a continuing series on Disney XD.”
So, a TV movie, full series on Disney on XD, and shorts on the main Disney Channel. As usual for Star Wars a hefty chunk of the money will be made on the toys, so with plenty of new characters what better way to get things started than to flood our screens?
