Star Wars Rebels is already renewed for a second season!

Disney's new show Star Wars Rebels hasn't aired yet but Disney and LucasFilm have already announced that the series has been renewed for a second season! This of course will only excite fans more as this means that the show must be that phenomenal!

"The global expectations for this series could not have been any higher. And I am proud to say that the team at Lucasfilm has delivered something that has surpassed even that incredibly high bar – artistically and thematically," said Gary Marsh, Disney Channels Worldwide president and chief creative officer, in a statement. 

"We all love making Rebels, so we couldn't be happier that it's moving into a second season," says Lucasfilm vp creative development Kiri Hart. "Our fantastic creative team is dreaming up new stories for the crew of the Ghost that will expand their experience of the galaxy and deepen their heroes' journeys. The fan response to the show has been amazing, humbling and inspiring. We're looking forward to the adventure ahead."

I am definitely excited about this news and I know that many out there will be as well. From photos and clips that I have seen the series looks like it will be a tremendous amount of fun and will take the franchise canon to some really fun places.

Star Wars Rebels will preimere on October 3, 2014 on the Disney channel with the TV movie Star Wars Rebels: Spark of Rebellion at 9pm ET. The series will then pick up on October 13, 2014 on Disney XD 9pm ET.
