STAR WARS REBELS SEASON 2 PREMIERE, CAST PANEL, AND MORE CONFIRMED FOR STAR WARS CELEBRATION 2015
NEW ATTENDEES AND EVENTS ANNOUNCED FOR THE ULTIMATE STAR WARS GATHERING!
The Ghost crew from Star Wars Rebels has had a busy year, what with the start of a rebellion against the Empire, battling the evil Inquisitor, and meet-ups with the mysterious Fulcrum. They deserve a little break, no?

Yeah, we think they do. (Even Chopper.) So, StarWars.com is excited to report that the cast of Star Wars Rebels is coming to the biggest Star Wars party this side of Endor, Star Wars Celebration 2015, April 16-19 in Anaheim — and they’re bringing the premiere of Star Wars Rebels Season Two with them.

That’s right; fans attending Star Wars Celebration will witness the global debut of Season Two’s first episode (following an encore showing of Season One’s two-part finale), and Dave Filoni (executive producer, supervising director), Freddie Prinze, Jr. (Kanan), Vanessa Marshall (Hera), Tiya Sircar (Sabine), Steve Blum (Zeb), Taylor Gray (Ezra), and other special guests will take part in a panel discussion on the series. (And in the spirit of Fulcrum-style secrets, word is that they’ll also be showing exclusive sneak peeks of what’s to come in Season Two.) In the meantime, Star Wars Rebels returns on January 5 (9:00 p.m. ET/PT) on Disney XD with all-new episodes, and you can catch the entire series from the very beginning in a Star Wars Rebels Reloaded Marathon this weekend on Disney XD. Catch up, rewatch, and get ready for the premiere of Season Two at Celebration!

But that’s not all — we have enough Star Wars Celebration news to fill a spacecruiser.

The first information on collecting programming, perfect for collectors of all kinds — from those who like to dabble in the toy aisle every now and then, to the mint-on-card hardcore — is now available. Check out the following panels and events below:

Collect This! A Celebration Track Especially for the Hunters Among Us
Collecting Star Wars is a favorite hobby for some, and an obsession for others. The Collecting Track at Star Wars Celebration Anaheim will feature in-depth information on a variety of topics from mainstream to delightfully obscure. In addition to the panels, which will run all four days of the convention, the Collecting Track features a special trading area and social schedule. Each Celebration, super-collector Gus Lopez and his team put together a great program, and an extra-special bonus for collectors: a series of special, Celebration-only giveaways that are handed out at each panel.
More Star Tots Images Revealed!
Inspired by The Empire Strikes Back, a different Star Tot will be given out to attendees at each of the collecting track panels all weekend. Get your first look below!

BACK FROM THE DRAWING BOARD, PART 2: REPURPOSED STAR WARS TECHNOLOGY JAWAS AREN'T THE ONLY ONES TO SEE VALUE IN OLD DROIDS. LEARN HOW STAR WARS CREATORS HAVE REUSED FORGOTTEN CONCEPTS FOR FILM AND TV! The previous installment of Back from the Drawing Board discussed the various aliens that were recycled from unused concept art. This time we will look at droids and starships that were originally designed for the movies, but ended up in other sources. Bring in the Droids, Again Some of the most obvious examples can be found in Star Wars Rebels, which draws heavily from the unused concept art of Ralph McQuarrie. One of the main characters, Chopper (1), finds his origin in conceptual designs from our other favorite astromech, R2-D2. A different design was used directly in West End Games’ Cynabar’s Fantastic Technology to depict the P2 astromech droid (3). Another iconic design by McQuarrie, the one intended for C-3PO, also ended up in Rebels in the form of the RQ pro

MEET THE GEONOSIS JEDI GET TO KNOW THE JEDI WARRIORS WHO WERE THE FIRST TO FIGHT THE CLONE WARS! When Obi-Wan Kenobi got captured on Geonosis by the powerhouses of the Secessionist Movement, Mace Windu decided to lead a task force of 200 Jedi. Meanwhile, Yoda left for the Kamino system where the Republic would make use of the mysterious clone army that had been ordered about a decade ago by Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas. The participation of the Jedi on Geonosis would prove to be an omen of what the Clone Wars would bring for the guardians of peace and justice. The battle showed what the Jedi were and also what they weren’t. The Jedi were compassionate beings who didn’t hesitate to rescue a fellow Jedi in need and who did anything they could to protect the Galactic Republic. But the Jedi had evolved into diplomats and keepers of the peace instead of hardened battlefield commanders. The outcome of the Battle of Geonosis would be disastrous for the Jedi Order, as about 170 of the 200 Jedi

RON HOWARD DISCUSSES THE FORCES THAT SHAPE HAN IN SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY ON THE STAR WARS SHOW

Han Solo has been a fan favorite since we first met him and his walking carpet of a copilot inside the wretched hive that is the Mos Eisley cantina.  And when Director Ron  swtor credits   Howard takes us back to Solo’s earlier days in Solo: A Star Wars Story later this month, he promises to examine some the scoundrel’s multifaceted personality and explore what — and who — shaped him into the hero we already know and love. This week on The Star Wars Show, Howard sits down to talk about Han’s enduring appeal, which all comes down to the character’s  swtor credits   duality. “He’s a great guy and he hates that about himself!” Howard says. “The idea that he’s out for himself, he’s got an outlaw spirit and code on one hand, but he can’t quite live it and walk it (because) he doesn’t entirely feel it.” Bonus: The good-natured director didn’t just talk business while he was here. Check out the video below to see  swtor credits  Howard as he tries his luck playing our original game “
