On September 27th, we were lucky enough to be able to attend an advanced screening of Star Wars Rebels: Spark of Rebellion at AMC Century City 15 which will be airing on the Disney Channel on October 3rd at 9pm.
The experience was super exciting and filled with everything every little padawan or Jedi could dream of. There was a raffle for a Star Wars lego set and for a lightsaber kit.
We were able to take pictures of all of the Star Wars Rebels: Spark of Rebellion statues and had a great time doing it. There were coloring and tattoo stations and we also were able to have a pink light saber balloon made!
Although we weren’t sure who was who when we first got there, we were soon very familiar with Kanan, Ezra, Zeb, Sabine, Hera and Chopper as the premiere started with the creator, Dave Filoni from Lucasfilms introducing the show. As he pumped up the theatre full of Star Wars fans and newbs alike, he reminded us that he created it with the intention of hearing cheers and rooting on your favorite characters along the way and that we did.
As soon as the first note of that all familiar Star Wars music most of know and love started playing, the crowd cheered very loud. As the applauds quieted, we all focused in on Ezra’s adventure into the unknown life of these Rebels, whom he just thought to be thieves and street rats such as himself. Little did he know that his adventure would lead him into a world he could only dream of. A world full of the last remaining Jedi’s, bad guys known as The Inquisitor, Wookie kidnappers, Storm Troopers, a lot of traps and so much more.

We were also fortunate to see an episode that will be airing on October 13th on Disney XD that hasn’t been viewed by any public audience before and also a sneak peek into the future season.
If you aren’t a Disney channel or Disney XD fan, you will absolutely become one after watching this movie and this series.
