From the press release:
Production has begun on Star Wars Rebels, an exciting, all-new animated television series based on one of the greatest entertainment franchises of all time. Scheduled to premiere in fall 2014 as a one-hour special telecast on Disney Channel, it will be followed by a series on Disney channels around the world.

Gary Marsh, president and chief creative officer, Disney Channels Worldwide, said, “The entire team at Lucasfilm has provided extraordinary creativity and innovation for over three decades, and we’re thrilled to be bringing the expansive and imaginative world of Star Wars to Disney XD’s viewers.”

“I couldn’t be more excited to explore new corners of the Star Wars universe,” said Kathleen Kennedy, president, Lucasfilm. “I think Star Wars Rebels will capture the look, feel and fun that both kids and their parents love about Star Wars.”

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.

Star Wars Rebels will be produced by Lucasfilm Animation, featuring many of the key talents that made Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
Casting will be announced at a later date. More information about this developing project will be found on StarWars.com and on Facebook.

Star Wars: Rebels, is slated to premiere in the Fall of 2014.

From Toronto actor, Dave Walpole, comes this very funny “audition video” addressed to J.J. Abrams and Kathleen Kennedy for the upcoming Star Wars episode 7 film.

You can also view David’s charity, Be “The Force” for clean water. Help support this worthy cause!

From the website:

If given the choice, would you want inside you “clean water”, or the water that kills 5,000 children a day?

Many of us live in countries where “clean water” is in abundance and readily available. I’m sure you would agree that we could not imagine ourselves traveling great distances to acquire it. We could not imagine ourselves using contaminated water to cook our food, grow our crops, or simply clean our children, R2 units and ourselves. We live on Earth not on Naboo.

Join me in my quest to provide developing countries clean water, a right we all deserve. You’ve seen my video.
