May 20,2013: Star Wars: Episode VII will blast its way into theaters in 2015, but a new animated series is coming to a small screen near you next year. Disney has begun production on the new animated series, Star Wars: Rebels, to be launched in fall 2014 as a one-hour special on Disney Channel before debuting as an actual TV series on its permanent home on Disney XD.

Star Wars: Rebels will take place between Star Wars: Episode III- Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: Episode IV- A New Hope, which spans about two decades. The series is set “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 is taking shape.”

“The entire team at Lucasfilm has provided extraordinary creativity and innovation for over three decades, and we’re thrilled to be bringing the expansive and imaginative world of Star Wars to Disney XD’s viewers,” said Gary Marsh, president and chief creative officer of Disney Channels Worldwide.

Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm, said, “I couldn’t be more excited to explore new corners of the Star Wars universe. I think Star Wars: Rebels will capture the look, feel, and fun that both kids and their parents love about Star Wars.”

The news of Star Wars: Rebels comes two months after Lucasfilm announced that it would be canceling Star Wars: The Clone Wars after its fifth season on Cartoon Network and hinting that it was working on “a new direction in animated programming.” At the time, Lucasfilm said it was interested in a new Star Wars series that would take place “in a time period previously untouched in Star Wars films and television programming.

Simon Kinberg (X-Men: First Class, Sherlock Holmes) will serve as executive producer and will write the pilot episode. Dave Filoni, who was supervising director on Star Wars: The Clone Wars (which ran on Cartoon Network from 2008-2013), and Greg Weisman (The Spectacular Spider-Man, Young Justice) will also executive produce. Casting has not been announced. Star Wars: Rebels is produced by Lucasfilm Animation.

Many people will read the title of this article and immediately dismiss that statement or take offense to it, but I think it is a true observation and an exciting one to find out!

Some people have really bad issues with Fan Fiction due to a big misunderstanding about what Fan Fiction actually is, and bad first experiences with the world of Fan Fiction online. I will not deny that a vast amount of Fan Fiction is drivel and badly written, but what most people do not stick around to find out is that there is an amazing array of talented writers who provide fans with amazing ideas, characters, and concepts that are true gems, as well as creating stories that expand on what fans really want to see in their Fandoms. There are even famous writers and actors who author Fan Fiction. To name one or two recognizable Fan Fiction writers, Neil Gaiman is a beloved author who pens amazing Fan Fiction, and even Matt Smith, the actor portraying the 11^th Doctor in Doctor Who wrote out a few Fan Fiction stories of the Doctor traveling with Einstein before tackling the role.

One of the most used concepts by Fan Fiction writers is the A/U (Alternate Universe), a place where writers can take their beloved characters and canon (official) plots into a place where they can change things and present a new imagining of the story. As both a reader and a writer of Fan Fiction, this is my favorite category to delve into.

Good Fan Fiction writers write for the fans, incorporating ideas and changes that fans long to see from their Fandom, and JJ Abrams followed this process in an amazing way in his movies. He incorporated elements of interpersonal relationships, twisted canon plot lines, switched character roles in well known scenes, and tied it all together with a believable story in an Alternate Universe in which it can be accepted.

With this being said, I can now state that JJ Abrams and his writing team are some of the most amazing Fan Fiction writers out there. They have done what other Fan Fiction writers dream about, they have taken Star Trek into an Alternate Universe and presented it to the fans as a movie and thus, made it canon in its own right.

If you enjoy JJ Abrams vision of Star Trek, then you should take the time to look into the world of Fan Fiction – you will most likely be amazed by what you discover out there.

Eben Brooks is fast becoming a cultural icon in the world of science fiction fandom. His songs respin the mundane popular culture into something that appeals to us directly. His lyrics, musicianship and skill as a vocalist make his Firefly-centric Browncoat songs some of the best in the genre.

This song was performed for the first time in January, 2013. It’s his second Browncoat song, this time to the tune of a traditional song called “The False Knight on the Road”.

“Firefly” and “Serenity” are creations of Joss Whedon and owned by Fox and Universal, respectively. Images are used under the Fair Use clause of the United States Copyright Code.
