With Episode VII still in production, the J.J. Abrams film stepped aside this Comic-Con to give <em>Star Wars<\/em> fans a treat in the form of an extended trailer for an all-new animated series, which is set in the fantasy world of <em>Star Wars<\/em> and explores more complex stories within the fantastical sci-fi universe.<\/p>\n<p>Set between the events of 2005&#8217;s <em>Revenge of the Sith<\/em> and 1977&#8217;s <em>A New Hope<\/em>, the series focuses on a ragtag band of characters, the &#8220;rebels&#8221;, who organize a resistance against the Empire. The trailer focuses on character Ezra Bridger, who falls in with a diverse team of characters, including Jedi-in-disguise Kanan Jarrus and Mandalorian Sabine. But those are not the only faces to appear in the series! Also making an appearance in the trailer is Obi-Wan Kenobi. The timeline, set closer to the 1977 original than the recent <em>The Clone Wars<\/em> (set between the Prequel Episodes 2 &#038; 3), allows for familiar characters to pop up during the show&#8217;s run.<\/p>\n<p>The show will feature high profile voice actors, such as Steve Blum, Taylor Gray, Tiya Sircar, and Vanessa Marshall.<\/p>\n<p>The 1-hour pilot is not set to air until later this year. Until then, fans can look forward to a kid-friendly animated series that is fresh and vibrant with the innate feel of the original trilogy.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xg5YN3LAGw4\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Are you excited for Star Wars Rebels?
