Star Wars Rebels Free To Stream Until May 4th
From May the 1st through May the 4th, every episode of Star Wars Rebels that’s been released so far can be streamed for free on the Star Wars website.
Star Wars Rebels is set in between Episodes III and IV, and focuses on a team of plucky younglings of various established species who band together to fight the Empire’s dominance and acts of injustice whenever possible. The CGI is, unfortunately, a step down from Clone Wars (their Wookiees look like smooth shiny poops with teeth) and given the situation, it doesn’t feel as dire and dark as five amateurs against a giant colossal army of death should. But it IS still enjoyable despite these flaws, and if you were an avid watcher of Clone Wars, you’ll get a pleasant surprise in the season finale.
The site also includes bonus behind-the-scenes material and insight into every episode, so it’s like having a DVD that disappears on you after four days (DivX?) The second season of Star Wars Rebels launches June 20, so if you plan to watch it, this is the perfect way to catch up….unless you actually HAVE access to Disney XD, in which case they rerun the thirteen episodes that exist so often that you don’t need this.
Why May the 4th? If you don’t know by now, you’re not much of a Star Wars fan: it’s because May the 4th Be With You. Doi.
