Today's fourth video clip is the
Star Wars Rebels: Meet Simon Kinberg, Executive Producer. StarWars.com speaks
with Simon Kinberg, executive producer of the upcoming Star Wars Rebels animated
series. The acclaimed writer discusses his love of storytelling, the focus of
Star Wars Rebels, and more.
Kinberg grew up loving movies, comics, and
"worshipping Star Wars." In creating Star Wars Rebels, the goal is to create
something that is true to the original films, but exists on its own. "The hope
and the dream is that the experience of Rebels is similar to the experience of
watching A New Hope, and Empire, and Jedi for the first time," he
says.
He calls Darth Vader the greatest villain in the history of
storytelling, and that that legacy went into creating the Inquisitor. They
wanted him to be formidable and terrifying, but also show that it's possible for
anyone to end up like him, which makes him more terrifying.
Favorite Star
Wars film? "Empire Strikes Back without question," Kinberg says, citing the
drama between Vader and Luke Skywalker as the most resonant story in the
films.
Favorite character? "Han, because he is everything that every guy
ever wanted to be." Kinberg loves his look and his Western
vibe.
Ultimately, he sees Star Wars Rebels as having an important task.
"Rebels is going to be the first point of entry for a new generation of Star
Wars fans," he says, "and it will hopefully be a point of return for existing
Star Wars fans." Enjoy!

Looking For Some
Star Wars Christmas Music? |
Be sure to visit the Music section this holiday
season for the Christmas
in the Stars soundtrack which features 9 tracks! Recorded back in 1980, the
album's story takes place in a droid factory where robots trudge away at
building toys year round for S. Claus. However they don't understand the meaning
of Christmas until C-3PO and R2-D2 show them how to appreciate the holiday
spirit. Even Artoo adds to the season festivities by learning how to whistle the
catchy Christmas ditty, "Sleigh Ride." Later we learn who gets what from their
wish list: a scarf for Luke Skywalker, perfume for Princess Leia and earmuffs
for Han Solo. Enjoy!
