The Inquisitor’s reveal might have been the highlight but it was far from the only piece of news. After the jump, check out a bunch of new concept art from the show as well as the following:

Yes, I am the only actor to be in all seven because I feel… Six! Whatever.
JediNewsposted a TON of concept art grabbed from theRebelspanel at NYCC. Here’s just a small selection of the cooler stuff, which is obviously influenced by the original trilogy. Head there for more.

Rebelsis using lots of the creative team behindStar Wars: Clone Wars, and many fans are upset that show went off the air so abruptly. However, executive producer Dave Filoni said the following onFacebookabout the final episodes. Thanks toCBRfor the heads up:
Filoni also did an extensive interview withStarWars.comon the occasion.
Finally,Daniel Radcliffehad a really funny interview withThe Huffington Postand in it, he talked aboutStar Wars Episode VIIfilming in England:
I have to catch up before that because fucking all of my friends are working on the new one. Because “Star Wars” is filming in Leavesden. There was at least one guy, Digby Milner, who worked on all the “Potters” who had also worked on “Star Wars,” the originals. And he will be working on new “Star Wars” at Leavesdon as well. And it is kind of amazing because “Star Wars,” the originals, were made in England as well. So there’s a lot of that crew who we’ll basically have a huge amount of sons and daughters of the original crew who are now on the new “Star Wars” movie.
