Following both an initial first look at New York Comic-Con and, more recently, a glimpse at the character in toy form, Lucasfilm has today released a new image from the upcoming animated series “Star Wars Rebels” that features the show’s new villain, The Inquisitor, a Jedi hunter in the employ of the Galactic Empire. Check out the new still below!
The upcoming series is set between the events of Episode III and IV — an era spanning almost two decades never-before explored on-screen. It takes place in a time where the Empire is securing its grip on the galaxy and hunting down the last of the Jedi Knights as a fledgling rebellion against the Empire is taking shape.
“Star Wars Rebels” will be produced by Lucasfilm Animation, featuring many of the key talents that made “Star Wars: The Clone Wars.” It is scheduled to premiere in fall 2014 as a one-hour special telecast on Disney Channel, and will be followed by a series on Disney XD channels around the world.
