Star Wars Rebels

Set in the period after the fall of the Republic and before the rise of the Empire, a stubborn group bands together to push back against Imperial rule. The crew operates the Ghost, a nimble starship that lets them take risky jobs on behalf of people the Empire has crushed. Kanan Jarrus, a veteran Jedi, mentors Ezra Bridger, a quick witted teen with big questions, while Hera Syndulla commands the ship with steady leadership. Zeb Orrelios provides muscle, Sabine Wren brings daring fire and art, and the cantankerous droid Chopper keeps everyone honest and on their toes.
