The rebellion overthrew an Empire... but then they had to establish a new galactic government. And that's not an easy task. The new Star Wars canon has been exploring the ways the New Republic that was formed in the aftermath of the Empire, for all it's best intentions, didn't get it all right. Those stories [...]
It's beyond obvious that Ahsoka is designed as a direct sequel series to Rebels, and the series will feature a number of Rebels characters making their live-action debut.

In the spirit of summer, LEGO recently debuted a Star Wars short all about Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader going on a summer vacation.
