‘Star Wars Rebels’ Trailer: Meet a Brand New Jedi – And His Hunter (Video)

The Disney XD animated series takes place between “Star Wars: Episode III” and “Episode IV”

Before Luke Skywalker became “A New Hope,”  there was a Jedi named Kanan secretly fighting for the rebellion.

The first full trailer (above) for Disney XD’s upcoming animated series “Star Wars Rebels” shows the Jedi unveilling himself — and his lightsaber — in front of Imperial troops. Fans also get a look at the reason Kanan must hide his identity, as there is a Sith called the Inquisitor after all of his kind.
