A couple of hours ago Disney XD aired a sixteen-second long teaser video for the highly anticipated Star Wars Rebels television series. You can see the preview below:
As promised, it doesn't contain any actual footage from the series - though the CGI Star Destroyer gives us our clearest idea yet of the aesthetic the series will be following.
Other than that, I'm unsure what to make of the video. I'm not a big fan of the voice-over, and the suggestion that "the Jedi will rise" is intriguing. The series is, after all, set at a time when the Jedi are meant to be all but extinct. A proliferation of Jedi during this era would certainly water down the significance of Obi-Wan and Yoda being in hiding for the better part of two decades. Did they really just languish in exile while other Jedi took the fight to the Empire?
