Star Wars: Rebels is an animated series that premiered on Disney Channel and Disney XD in October, 2014. The series takes place between Star Wars Episodes III and IV, approximately 14 years after the formation of the Galactic Empire. Rebels reveals an aggressive and powerful Empire increasing its repressive hold across the galaxy, while the Rebellion is struggling to effectively organize against the Imperials. The Emperor's issue of Order 66 or Jedi Purge has also resulted in the continued hunting of underground Jedi by Imperial forces.
Like the rest of the Star Wars Universe, Rebels lends itself to educational ties that will help students make powerful connections to Social Studies, Science, English/Language Arts, the Arts, Math and more. Our goal is to provide educators with these connections as the Rebels series plays out each week on Disney XD.
