Star Wars Rebels: Zeb Character Revealed

Another character from Star Wars Rebels has been revealed via IGN. This time it's Zeb, the muscle of the group. Zeb will be voiced by Steve Blum – who voiced Wolverine in Wolverine and the X-Men and Spike Spiegel in Cowboy Bebop. Zeb is the group's hard hitter, but executive producer Dave Filoni says that "he's not just a dumb thug." Zeb was trained to be a member of the honor guard on his home planet. "Zeb actually is pretty articulate and witty and funny," says art director Kilian Plunkett. "That, juxtaposed with what he looks like makes for an interesting character." Zeb hates Chopper, is building a relationship with Ezra, and loves to beat up Stormtroopers. Zeb joins the crew of the Ghost in Star Wars Rebels, the new CG animated series that will tell the tale of how the Rebel Alliance first formed between Episodes III and IV of the Star Wars saga. Star Wars Rebels will debut this fall with a televisions movie and a series of shorts on the Disney Channel, followed by a full series on Disney XD.
