The Feature Film

Star Wars Rebels. The ideas behind the Ghost crew.

Zeb’s look began with an unused Chewbacca design. That’s a Star Wars history connection worth preserving.

October 13, 2014, Star Wars Rebels began its weekly run on Disney XD. The opening TV movie, Spark of Rebellion, had premiered ten days earlier.

The story behind the images.

Twelve years of the Ghost crew: Kanan, Hera, Ezra, Sabine, Zeb and Chopper—a family standing against the Empire between Episodes III and IV.

Two details from the Archive: • Ralph McQuarrie’s unused Chewbacca concept helped shape Zeb’s design. • James Earl Jones returned as the voice of Darth Vader, including an added scene in Spark of Rebellion.

Seeking for the Archive: original carded 2014 Hasbro Saga Legends Ezra, Kanan and Chopper. The packaging preserves part of the show’s first collecting chapter, too.
