Disney announces post-Clone Wars animated show: Star Wars Rebels!

We’ve been wondering what Disney would do after pulling the plug on the beloved animated series Star Wars: Clone Wars, and now we know. Prepare to meet the Rebels!

The company has announced plans to launch a new series dubbed Star Wars: Rebels, which will debut in the fall of 2014 as a new series for Disney XD. As was rumored, the series will bridge the gap between Episodes III-IV, and judging by the synopsis it sounds like some ripe territory to mine.

The action-filled series is set between the events of Episode III and IV -- an era spanning almost two decades never-before explored on-screen. Star Wars Rebels takes place in a time where the Empire is securing its grip on the galaxy and hunting down the last of the Jedi Knights as a fledgling rebellion against the Empire is taking shape. Details about the show are a closely guarded secret at this point.

That's pretty legit, I have a feeling that it'll be really childish knowing Disney, though. :/
