Star Wars Rebels EzraTV Guide

has gotten a first look at one of the characters in Star Wars Rebels. Ezra is a teenage con artist with a strong affinity for the Force. Ezra meets up with Kanan and joins the crew of the Ghost. Ezra starts off as pretty self-serving, just trying to survive day-to-day on the planet Lothal, but gets swept into the rebellion by Kanan and his crew. Ezra doesn't realize that he is so strong in the force until Kanan takes him under his wing. "To survive, instinctively every now and then when he's in a jam he uses the Force," executive producer Dave Filoni says. "He doesn't call it that. He doesn't know that's what he's doing. He thinks he's got some abilities that are a little strange every now and then, but they help him out. It's instinctive, it's reactionary." Ezra will be voiced by Taylor Gray (Bucket & Skinner's Epic Adventures). "I'm excited to voice the role of Ezra in Star Wars Rebels but I'm even more excited to be a part of the Star Wars legacy," Gray says. "I can't wait for fans new and existing to come together and see the next chapter in the most legendary tale known in the galaxy." Star Wars Rebels will premiere with a TV movie and series of shorts on the Disney Channel this summer, followed by a full series on Disney XD in the fall.
