Historien foregår mellem begivenhederne i Star Wars: Episode III og IV, og den udfolder sig i en mørk tid, hvor den onde Galaktiske Imperium strammer grebet om galaksen. Imperiets styrker har invaderet en fjern planet og ødelægger beboernes liv. Den mangfoldige, men kloge besætning ombord på rumskibet Ghost – cowboy Jedi Kanan, toppiloten Hera, gadernes kloge teenager Ezra, ‘muskel’ Zeb, krigsfan Sabine og den irritabel gamle astromech-droid Chopper – er blandt de få, der tør stå imod Imperiet. Sammen vil de møde nye trusler, møde farverige fjender, begive sig ud på spændende eventyr og blive helte, der har magten til at tænde en oprør.

Star Wars Rebels is an animated series that follows a rag‑tag crew as they battle the oppressive Galactic Empire between Episodes III and IV.

Through daring raids, unexpected allies, and personal growth, the Ghost crew helps ignite the spark that eventually becomes the Rebel Alliance, all while dealing with the shadow of the Empire’s Inquisitor, the deadly threat of the Inquisitor, and the looming presence of Grand Admiral Thrawn.
