With the rather huge STAR WARS news that’s come out over the last few days (see here), now comes word that the full trailer for the upcoming STAR WARS REBELS animated series will debut this coming Sunday. This Sunday happens to be the 4th May, also widely known as ‘Star Wars Day.’

The trailer will be shown during the US premiere of the LEGO-themed feature, STAR WARS: THE NEW YODA CHRONICLES, airing on Disney XD. It’s expected that the trailer will then appear online shortly after.

The official word on the show, which gets the full preview treatment in the current issue of Starburst, reads:

“STAR WARS REBELS continues the epic tradition of the legendary STAR WARS saga with all-new exciting, action-packed adventures. It is a dark time in the galaxy, as the evil Galactic Empire tightens its grip of power from world to world. As the series begins, Imperial Forces have occupied a remote planet, ruling with an iron fist and ruining the lives of its people. The clever and motley crew of the starship Ghost is amongst a select few who are brave enough to stand against the Empire. Together, this ragtag group will face threatening new villains, encounter colourful adversaries, embark on thrilling adventures and become heroes with the power to ignite a rebellion.”

Make sure to check back on Monday morning for the full STAR WARS REBELS trailer.
