The seven minute and 40 second intro gives you more than just a taste of what's in store in the new show, and is sure to entice a whole new generation into the Star Wars fandom.

In this exciting preview, we meet Ezra, a street-smart con artist and thief – not unlike Disney's classic hero Aladdin, even to the extent of how they are animated – who steals a speeder bike and ends up inadvertently getting caught up in the rebellion.
Star Wars Rebels will premiere in October on the Disney Channel with an epic one-hour debut before moving to its permanent home on Disney XD.
