On the eve of its one-hour special premiere on The Disney Channel, Disney Channels Worldwide President and Chief Creative Officer Gary Marsh has announced that Lucasfilm’s latest animated offering Star Wars Rebels has been picked up for a second season.
“The global expectations for this series could not have been any higher, I am proud to say that the team at Lucasfilm has delivered something that has surpassed even that incredibly high bar – artistically and thematically,” states Marsh.
“We all love making Rebels, so we couldn’t be happier that it’s moving into a second season,” adds Lucasfilm VP of Creative Development Kiri Hart. “Our fantastic creative team is dreaming up new stories for the crew of the Ghost that will expand their experience of the galaxy and deepen their heroes’ journeys.”
