Marvel’s animated offerings have made no secret of following the films, between Guardians of the Galaxy and Avenger subsets like Ultron Revolution, and now Spider-Man is going back to basics. Not only will the current Ultimate Spider-Man come to a close in January, Disney XD will launch Marvel’s Spider-Man in 2017.

Star Wars Rebels is getting closer and closer to the Original Trilogy, and with it, another familiar face has come out of hyperspace. Meet a young Wedge Antilles in the latest Season 3 clip for this weekend’s debut!

We don’t yet know if future Star Wars movies will deepen our understanding of the Force any, but Star Wars Rebels Season 3 definitely aims to make things … well, bigger. A new Season 3 clip introduces the mysteriously neutral Force entity “The Bendu,” voiced by none other than Doctor Who star Tom Baker.

The closer we get to Star Wars Rebels Season 3's September premiere, the more all sides of the franchise start to converge. It’s Prequel Trilogy meets Original Trilogy meets Expanded Universe, as the latest Rebels Season 3 trailer brings Y-Wings, Destroyers and Thrawn, oh my!

Half the fun of Star Wars Rebels lies not just in original Star Wars characters returning, but also those of spiritual predecessor The Clone Wars. So it is, that Katee Sackhoff will reprise her role as the Mandalorian Bo-Katan for Star Wars Rebels Season 3.

If that barn-burner finale or a sinister new look didn’t make it abundantly clear, Star Wars Rebels Season 3 has Ezra moving closer to the dark side than ever. So it is with the latest clip from Season 3, as even Darth Vader would find Ezra’s use of the Force was downright cold.

It’s hard to imagine anyone providing Star Wars Rebels with more menace than James Earl Jones’ Darth Vader, but Lars Mikkelsen’s Grand Admiral Thrawn may just give him a run for his money. A new promo for Season 3 sees Thrawn poised to tear the team apart, utilizing his terrifying skill as a tactician.

These days, it'd take at least two years to watch only only one season's worth of #PeakTV, a quarter of which won't even be around a second year. You’d need some sort of absurd television guidance periodical to navigate it all, but because we love you' we've put together an in-depth look at 30 major must-see premieres kicking off as early as August 31. Come, wrap some barbed wire around your bats and grab a coffee in Stars Hollow, as we descend into the madness that is Fall TV 2016!

Disney’s Star Wars Rebels has made no secret of its influence from the original designs of artist Ralph McQuarrie, but multiple designs have escaped even sharp-eyed viewers. No longer, as the latest Season 2 Blu-ray featurette spotlights everything from Kylo Ren’s lightsaber to Leia’s familiar costume.

Star Wars Rebels has gifted us similarly high-profile big bads each year, from beating Rogue One to James Earl Jones’ Darth Vader return, to this year’s reemergence of Grand Admiral Thrawn. Don’t expect Vader to have any significant role going forward, however, as Rebels boss Dave Filoni says there’s been “an elected decision to not have Vader around.”
