Up until now all of the animated Star Wars series have served as prequel stories to the live-action movies, but that may be about to change when Star Wars Rebels finishes up. That current (and pretty great I might add) show is set before the events of A New Hope, but according to /Film the cartoon that succeeds it will be set in the timeline of the new batch of movies, which kick off next year with The Force Awakens. Word is Disney/Lucasfilm's plan is to produce "about three or four seasons" of Star Wars Rebels before launching the new animated series. Though /Film are confident in their sources, they are treating this as a rumor for now and don't have many more details. However, they speculate that if the plan is to run 4 seasons of Rebels, the new show could première around the time of Rian Johnson’s "Episode VIII", giving us a couple films to establish the Sequel Trilogy universe. Do you think this is a good idea? Sound off below.
