I received a sample for this review/feature. Opinions expressed are my own.
Star Wars Rebels: Complete Season One delivers all 15 action-packed episodes plus never-before-seen bonus material and cast/crew interviews revealing the magic behind the making of the hit series. Released on Blu-ray and DVD, this is a must-add collection to the library of any Star Wars fan!
In the first groundbreaking season of Star Wars Rebels, young hero Ezra Bridger joins the clever but motley crew of the starship Ghost in their resistance against the Empire. As the series begins, Imperial forces have occupied a remote planet, ruling with an iron fist and ruining the lives of its people.?Ezra and his new rebel friends — Hera, Kanan, Sabine, Zeb and Chopper — embark on daring adventures in their fight against oppression across the galaxy, receiving help from familiar heroes such as Lando Calrissian, Ahsoka Tano, and Jedi Master Yoda. Pursued relentlessly by the Imperials and a Jedi hunter called the Inquisitor, this tenacious ragtag band of rebels will find itself in the crosshairs of none other than Darth Vader when season one closes in a shocking two-part finale.
Star Wars Rebels is created by Dave Filoni (?Star Wars: The Clone Wars?), Simon Kinberg (?X-Men: Days of Future Past,? ?Sherlock Holmes?), and Carrie Beck. The Lucasfilm Animation production is also executive-produced by Filoni and Kinberg as well as Greg Weisman (?Gargoyles?).
Featuring the voices of Freddie Prinze Jr. (?I Know What You Did Last Summer?) as Kanan, Vanessa Marshall (TV’s ?Young Justice?) as Hera, Steve Blum (?The Boxtrolls?) as Zeb, Tiya Sircar (?The Internship?) as Sabine, Taylor Gray (TV’s ?Bucket and Skinner’s Epic Adventures?) as Ezra, David Oyelowo (Selma) as Agent Kallus and Jason Isaacs (?Harry Potter?) as the Inquisitor.

I am a ridiculously big Star Wars fan and my oldest seems to be following in my footsteps so this movie is a huge hit in my house. Even if you have never seen a Star Wars movie the Rebel episodes are fun and enjoyable to watch for the whole family. The Blu-ray edition is top notch with picture and sound that is incredible. Would make a great gift for the holidays too!
