INTERVIEW: Greg Weisman

I had the opportunity to speak to Greg Weisman at Denver Comic-Con this last weekend. Greg is the newest producer and writer brought on to work on Star Wars: Rebels and this was his first interview about Star Wars and about the show since he was brought on to the project, just a few weeks ago.

You can listen to the full interview on Full of Sith.

I was also on a panel with Greg and he’s a very genuine and creative guy who seems to really love the world of Star Wars. He has a long pedigree of working on franchises that are near and dear to our hearts (like Gargoyles and Young Justice) and I think he’s going to do a great job on Star Wars: Rebels.

During the interview, he talked about his first exposures to Star Wars, the crazy pace of working on Rebels, and what we can expect from him working on the new show.

Star Wars: Rebels is set to have a tease or announcement of some sort during Celebration: Europe II and is scheduled to hit television screens by fall 2014. It’s set between Episode III and Episode IV and will be done in a 3D format in a Ralph McQuarrie style.
