The Star Wars Rebels panel presented by Pablo Hidalgo has just wrapped up at NYCC, and we’ve collected a whole gaggle of live tweets full of great information. Check out the new video from StarWars.com below, and then hit the read more to check out all the Tweets.
Us and a few others think the Imperial Inquisitor looks a lot like this favorite villian from Star Wars: The Clone Wars, but Pete from RebelsReport thinks he’s clearly an Umbaran. Others are reporting that he looks Utapauan.
The Son from Star Wars: The Clone Wars Mortis arc.
Tweets begin now:
Hidalgo sets expectations: no trailer, just some concept stuff because the animation is just starting. #starwarsrebels

Hidalgo settles the difference between clone troopers and Stormtroopers per George: Stormtroopers are citizens who volunteer.

#StarWarsRebels animation is distinct enough from The Clone Wars that they couldn't re-use any assets.
