The Disney plan for Rebels

I feel that Rebels is just to build up hype for Episode 7. Season 2 will premiere in early September and end before Dec 18th, when the movie comes out. Then the series will end, to be replaced by something else.

Nah.

I definitely don't expect it to be around as long as TCW. The series puts up only decent numbers and it's not being bankrolled by Lucas. I'm not expecting more than 3 seasons.

Between the abrupt ****ing of TCW in favor of Rebels and Battlefront 3 being set entirely during the Galactic Civil War, Disney has been making a concentrated effort to get the prequels out of as many peoples' minds as possible. They want the fans to be thinking about the OT, which was more highly regarded and which Episode 7 will be the direct sequel to. This is why pretty much all PT-era focused content has stopped.

Most likely 3 seems like a fair number to get everything sorted, characters done and all that.

Seeing some of the Rebels characters in a live-action movie would be really cool.

Yeah, maybe 2 was a little too hasty. 3 seems like the golden number, since they said season 1 was very much a new hope and that season 2 was very much empire strikes back. season 3 will probably be very much Return of the Jedi.

Maybe the clone wars will continue after episode 9?
