Star Wars Rebels: Director Dave Filoni Discusses Season Two.
With 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.
Grant has been a fan of Star Wars for as long as he can remember, having seen every movie on the big screen. When he’s not hard at work with his college studies, he keeps himself busy by reporting on all kinds of Star Wars news for SWNN and general movie news on the sister site, Movie News Net. He served as a frequent commentator on SWNN’s The Resistance Broadcast.
I will be watching half-heartedly, thinking about December 18.
How many Inquisitors will be in this new season?
2
One billion, muhahaha
Any further info on the rumor of them introducing a “mara-jade-like” character this season?
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.
get over yourself, troll. find a new franchise to hate
Any word as to who Sarah Michelle Gellar is playing?
Either Aileen Zahn:

or
This inquisitor chick:
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Unidentified_Inquisitor_(female)
“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.
Leia!!
Thanks! (From anonymous who originally asked the question:))
“Sabine changes her hair and armor because meeting Vader was such a harrowing experience.”
.
.
sigh….
you obviously know nothing about teenage girls….which actually…is not all that surprising. 🙂
“I’m totally traumatized by encountering Vader. How can I possibly deal with this? How … how? Wow … now I know! I’ll change my hairstyle! Yes, that will do it!”
Yes. I like (almost) EVERYTHING in Rebels, but not Sabine’s character which is clearly a Disney thing.
and THIS….is why you never even made it to first base in highschool and didn’t see your first Vagina until you were 30.
Show is nothing but garbage, imagine if they made a real TV show like Vikings or Thrones but they are to cheap for that.
Just what we need. Another dark and edgy tv show. Rebels is fine.
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
The existence of this show does not negate the possibility of a show like that existing…
more Mandalorian thing’s? more maul thing’s!
I hate this show. It sucks so much.
Stop watching it then.
Nobody is putting a gun to your head and making you watch it kid. If you hate this show so much….please tell me. Why did you click on a link to read about a show you have no interest in? lol…moron
Regarding the character mentioned, I’m going for the rumor about Bariss..
Bit lame they already defeated the ‘Grand Inquisitor’…
“Sabine changes her hair and armor because meeting Vader was such a harrowing experience.”
Really? Did I just read that?
And can someone please give Ezra some decent clothing and a haircut!
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
I don’t understand why someone who doesn’t like a comment about the show will click on reply, and take the time to tell everyone that they do not like it. Seems to idiotic.
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.

So who is this character who is so secrect?
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.

Hell no! Well… Jar Jar would fit into this show ×D
Nope. I’m calling bullshit on the S1 inquisitor being the Grand Inquisitor.
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.
What’s with the new ship? My son just spent 5 hours putting the lego ghost together last weekend. He will be disappointed if it gets destroyed this season.
I just can’t stand Filoni! My opinion, he is the biggest problem with the new Star Wars.
Do you think he or Disney even care what you think?
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.
Well, I’m glad it is canonical =)
This show is a pure crap, as the whole nu-EU will be.
Please be Cade bane
