‘Star Wars Rebels’ Season 2 Date Announced

Wednesday, October 14, 2015.

That’s when you’ll get this:

From the official press release:

The critically-acclaimed animated series “Star Wars Rebels” is set to debut new episodes starting WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 14 (9:30 p.m., ET/PT) on Disney XD.

 

In “Star Wars Rebels” Season Two, past lives will be revealed and the destiny of our heroes will be changed forever.  The transformative new season resumes with Imperial oppression on Lothal growing stronger and the rebels seeking out new allies and additional resources to sustain their fight against the evil Empire. With the help of Ahsoka Tano, the crew of the Ghost enlists some old friends: ex-clone troopers who fought in the Clone Wars. As the rebels grow in number, so do their enemies. New Inquisitors are dispatched by Darth Vader and sent to crush any threat of rebellion. Through dangerous rescue missions, thrilling space chases, and spectacular lightsaber duels – the bond of our rebel crew will be put to the test like never before.

 

“Star Wars Rebels: Complete Season One” is available on Blu-RayTM and DVD on Tuesday, September 1, and delivers all 15 action-packed episodes plus never-before-seen bonus material including cast and crew interviews revealing the magic behind the making of the hit series.

My hope is that the whole season will not play on Wednesday nights. I’d much prefer weekends, as 9:30 is past my kids bedtime on a school night, and they’re not allowed to watch TV on school nights regardless of the time. If Comcast allows early access via their OnDemand network, though, this poor time slot won’t much matter.

You can catch season one on Blu-ray here.
