Are you watching Star Wars Rebels? Things really started heating up as the first season drew to a close. Disney has announced the premiere date for the beginning of the seconds season.

The highly anticipated "Star Wars Rebels" season two is set to premiere on SATURDAY, JUNE 20 (9:00 p.m., ET/PT) on Disney XD. The season will kick-off with a special one-hour movie event "Star Wars Rebels: The Siege of Lothal." Following the one-hour movie event, the season will continue to rollout new episodes in the fall. Recently revealed at Star Wars Celebration, the exciting new season is filled with more thrilling adventures with the Rebels that will include appearances by fan-favorite characters Darth Vader, Ahsoka Tano, Captain Rex, Wolffe and Gregor.

But that's not all. There are plans to celebrate "May the 4th Be With You," the unofficial Star Wars holiday. Beginning on Friday, May 1 and continuing through Monday, May 4, the following will occur on Disney XD:

· "Star Wars Rebels: The Ultimate Guide," a half-hour special recapping the entire first season of "Star Wars Rebels" will debut Monday, May 4 (8:00 p.m., ET/PT)

· Marathons of "Star Wars Rebels" season one and "LEGO Star Wars: The New Yoda Chronicles."

· Sneak peek at "LEGO Star Wars: Droid Tales," an all-new series of event specials that will premiere on Disney XD this summer.

· Star Wars-inspired episodes of "Phineas and Ferb," "Kickin' It" and "Lab Rats."

Over playing Vader much. The next deadpool?

Seeing as he's the Emperor's enforcer, it makes perfect sense why he's here.

Can't wait for this season. June seems so far away.

I really hope they sneak some of the E.U stuff in like maybe Mara Jade as a Emperor's Hand.

If there is one thing I disliked about Star Wars Rebels season 1 it's that the lightsabers looked too thin

Seconded

(Not sure how to quote here, phones not giving me the option)

Great news to hear! Can't wait!

so Ahsoka stayed good while her former master turned evil? pretty much the reversal of most Star Wars climaxes.

MY BODY IS READY!!!!

MY BODY IS READY!!!!

For a second I thought it was gonna be May 4. I can't wait for the next season.

@amazingwebhead: Wow, good point. Lol Never noticed that

@lurkero: yeah, at times they looked a bit like sword blades (that glowed) instead of rods of light. The black saber in Clone Wars was like that, really bugged me.

why can't they make a luke skywalker or a darth vader tribute in the show?

Does this mean I can't buy the first season on blu-ray before the second?

Have only see the Star Wars: Clone Wars shorts till now.
How are the others?

Star Wars Rebels revived my interest in Star Wars.

Now, there's just one wish that I want to happen above everything... I want Ezra and Sabine as couple.
