Today's video clip is from Star Wars Rebels. Dave Filoni and team discuss their new character "Hera" in this interview. This is the seventh and final major new character for Disney XD’s Star Wars Rebels. While this concludes the major new characters being introduced for the show’s launch, we suspect there will be some familiar faces popping up in the series, and other new characters being revealed once the show gets underway.

Meet Hera, the pilot for the Ghost crew of rebels fighting the Empire. She’s a Twi’lek and “She is a very strong-minded character,” says Rebels executive producer Dave Filoni, “kind of the heart of the group, keeps everyone together when they would otherwise fall apart.” Enjoy!

Do you know if this series is some sort of set up for the new movies or is it going to be more stand alone?

The series is 5 years prior to A New Hope. Dave Filoni has stated that there will be a connection from this show and the Sequel Trilogy. I am looking forward to Star Wars having more continuity between movies, TV, and games. :action-smiley-043:

Today's first new video clip is a special Star Wars Rebels preview clip, which premiered at WonderCon 2014, features an introduction from voice actress Vanessa Marshall and an exciting sequence from the upcoming animated series.

Hera, captain of the Ghost, pilots her starship during a battle with two TIE fighters. Chopper delivers a message from Kanan, currently engaging the TIEs in the top turret. The Jedi is apparently displeased with Hera's maneuvering. In response, she takes matters into her own hands... Enjoy!

Today's second new video clip is an interview with Composer Kevin Kiner of Star wars Rebels. Kevin Kiner, composer for Star Wars: The Clone Wars, returns to a galaxy far, far away with the upcoming Star Wars Rebels animated series. In this exclusive interview, he discusses his writing process, musical background, and previews the theme for Lucasfilm's new show.

Looking back at his first involvement with Star Wars, Kiner says that it was daunting to follow John Williams. But it was invigorating, as well, and continues to be with his new work on Star Wars Rebels. He grew up playing rock n' roll in garage bands, and melded that sensibility with classical on Star Wars: The Clone Wars -- and will do so again on Star Wars Rebels. Tone-wise, the music for Star Wars Rebels "will have a different sound," he says. "It's going to be a little closer to A New Hope than Clone Wars was. Now, to be able to go back and start using John's themes in different ways is exciting for me."

Kiner also shows off some his own string-instruments, including the cello-like guitar viol, which he plans to use on the new series. Finally, he demos the Star Wars Rebels theme, which builds in complexity and incorporates classic Star Wars melodies. At the piece's end, Kiner is excited, saying, "And we have a new generation of Star Wars." Enjoy!
