Star Wars Rebels: The Heroes Go Undercover in “Stealth Strike”
Next week will be Thanksgiving time in the US, but fans will still be treated to a new episode of Star Wars Rebels on Disney XD. Lucasfilm and Disney XD have released a new clip for next week’s season two episode, “Stealth Strike,” along with a dozen photo stills. You can check out the clip and images below.
In “Stealth Strike,” the Empire has a powerful new Imperial ship with a new super weapon that is used to capture Ezra, Commander Sato and his crew. That means the heroes Rex and Kanan have to go undercover in order to rescue their comrades and destroy the weapon. And by undercover, they will be dressing up in Stormtrooper armor Luke Skywalker and Han Solo style in Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope. In the new clip, Rex and Kanan board an Imperial base or ship in Stormtrooper gear, with Chopper painted up as Imperial protocol droid. Unfortunately, the Empire is aware of who Ezra is, so time is of the essence.
The episode clip looks to have a fun vibe that’s evocative of the first Star Wars film from 1977. The ship and new super weapon are obviously not the Death Star, but the description does seem to evoke what the Empire will have in store for the galaxy in the next several years. Star Wars Rebels’ new episode, “Stealth Strike,” airs on Wednesday, November 25 at 9:30 pm ET/PT on Disney XD.
