'Star Wars Rebels' Season 2 Trailer & Poster: Rex Is Back And Darth Vader Fights The Jedi

The Rebels are taking over Star Wars Celebration Saturday with a panel and world premiere of the first two episodes of the second season, which premieres later this year. To kick things off, they dropped a season 2 trailer, which you can see below.

We'll have more on Star Wars Rebels in the coming days, including news from the panel, reactions to the premiere and an interview with Dave Filoni. For now, feast your eyes on the Rebels Season 2 trailer which features the return of Captain Rex, Darth Vader fighting our Jedi, A-Wings, B-Wings and more. There's also a new poster and images.

Thanks to Star Wars for the trailer

And here's the new poster, along with Rex.

At the end of season one of Rebels, the Inquisitor was destroyed and Fulcrum was revealed to be Jedi Knight Ahsoka Tano. But a new villain was on the rise: Darth Vader.

Star Wars Rebels Season 2 starts later this year. What do you think of the trailer?

Fans attending the "Star Wars Rebels" panel at Celebration today were treated to an exclusive sneak peek at the second season of the popular Disney XD animated series with Dave Filoni (creator, writer), Simon Kinberg (creator, writer), Freddie Prinze, Jr. (Kanan), Vanessa Marshall (Hera), Tiya Sircar (Sabine), Steve Blum (Zeb), and Taylor Gray (Ezra).

An exciting season two preview trailer revealed that Vader will indeed be back, and "Clone Wars" fan-favorites Captain Rex, Wolffe and Gregor, all voiced by Dee Bradley Baker, will be joining "Star Wars Rebels." The arena erupted when Baker made a surprise appearance following the preview.  He was joined by Ashley Eckstein, voice actor of another fan-favorite character Ahsoka Tano, who was revealed as Fulcrum in the "Star Wars Rebels" season one finale. Audience members were thrilled that "Star Wars Rebels" has welcomed Baker and Eckstein for season two.

"Star Wars Rebels" Season Two begins this summer with a one-hour movie event and continues this fall with all-new episodes on Disney XD.
