Disney Consumer Products has released a new product assortment in celebration of Star Wars Rebels, which debuts October 3 on Disney Channel and continues on October 13 on Disney XD. The show has inspired new lines of figures, spaceships and lightsabers, apparel and accessories, home décor, books, and more from licensees including Hasbro, Lego, Mad Engine, Rubies, and Jay Franco.
Disney Publishing Worldwide also supports the show with a new book program and series of mobile apps from Disney Lucasfilm Press that will expand upon the series. Star Wars Journeys, an episodic series of apps from Disney Publishing, will be updated this October to include the stories that lead up to the adventures in Star Wars Rebels. Star Wars Scene Maker will launch early next year and gives fans a storytelling experience that allows them to re-imagine and recreate scenes from the show.
The product line will include action figures featuring villains and heroes from the animated series, and Inquisitor Lightsaber, which for the first time includes a Force Disc to launch, from Hasbro; the Ghost from Lego, allowing fans to build and defend their starship; costumes by Rubies; t-shirts from Mad Engine; PJ Pals from Disney Store; and more.
The products will be available at Disney Store locations nationwide. In addition, disneystore.com will feature a Create Your Own tab that allows fans to personalize a variety of items to feature characters from the show.
Star Wars Rebels is set between the events of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars Episode VI: A New Hope. The evil Galactic Empire has tightened its grip on the star systems and Jedi Knights are nearly extinct. It is up to the ragtag crew of the starship Ghost to become heroes with the power to ignite a rebellion.
