For those Star Wars fans out there, you'll (probably) be glad to hear that a sequel to the hugely popular Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series has officially begun production. Scheduled to debut in fall of 2014, Star Wars Rebels will be set between episodes III and IV (Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope), and will attempt to cover the twenty-something year gap between the two films.

From IGN;
 * Rebels occurs “in a time where the Empire is securing its grip on the galaxy and hunting down the last of the Jedi Knights as a fledgling rebellion against the Empire is taking shape.” There is about 20 years of time in-between Episode III and IV in the Star Wars timeline, so there are still plenty of questions about whether this will take place closer to Revenge of the Sith or A New Hope, or perhaps right in the middle...

At current, Greg Weisman - who we all know and love from Young Justice - is tied to the series as executive producer. It is unknown whether Weisman will write any of the episodes himeslf (though we all want him to).

What are your thoughts on this news? Are you a Star Wars fan? If not, will you still watch it? I know I'll be there regardless of my own disinterest with the franchise. What about you?
