Star Wars Rebels is an animated television series set five years before the
events of the Star Wars original trilogy, during the time frame between the
films Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: Episode IV
A New Hope.
The series follows a motley group of rebels who live aboard the starship
Ghost as they fight against the evil Galactic Empire. The rebels include Ezra
Bridger, a young orphan from Lothal who learns he can use the Force; Kanan
Jarrus, a Jedi who survived Order 66; Hera Syndulla,
a Twi'lek pilot and veteran resistance fighter; Sabine Wren, a Mandalorian
explosives expert; Garazeb “Zeb” Orrelios, a Lasat warrior; and the
cantankerous astromech droid C1–10P, also known as Chopper. The crew will
eventually help give rise to the Rebel Alliance.
