Star Wars Rebels {Review and Printable Kids Activities}

Last weekend John, the kids and I attended an event in Seattle for a 50-minute sneak preview of Star Wars Rebels: Spark of Rebellion. Tonight is your chance to view the premier film on The Disney Channel. The official TV series starts October 13th.

The kids really enjoyed Spark of Rebellion. We actually have not shown them the Star Wars films yet, but John is a huge fan and can’t wait to immerse them when they’re a bit older. So this was the perfect primer. They’re looking forward to seeing the ongoing animated series.

Official Synopsis

A Long Time Ago, In A Galaxy Far, Far Away….

Against the might of the Galactic Empire, an unlikely band of heroes emerges to renew the fight for freedom. Witness the epic debut of the riveting animated series Star Wars Rebels, in this one-hour movie event – showing on the big screen one time only!

The story unfolds during a dark time when the evil Empire is tightening its grip of power on the galaxy. Imperial forces have occupied a remote planet and are ruining the lives of its people. The motley but clever crew of the starship Ghost — cowboy Jedi Kanan, ace pilot Hera, street-smart teenager Ezra, the “muscle” Zeb, explosives expert Sabine, and cantankerous old astromech droid Chopper — is among a select few who are brave enough to stand against the Empire. Together, they will face threatening new villains, encounter colorful adversaries, embark on thrilling adventures and become heroes with the power to ignite a rebellion.

If you miss the premiere, you can also pre-order Star Wars Rebels: Spark of Rebellion

DVD on Amazon. Its available on October 13th.

At the event, we picked up a few color pages and activity sheets that the kids liked, so I wanted to share with you .
