NYCC 2014: Marvel Announces Star Wars: Kanan – The Last Padawan

Posted on by

Kanan TLP1We knew that Marvel was unlikely to limit themselves to just three Star Wars titles in 2015 and today that suspicion was confirmed at New York Comic Con during the Cup O’ Joe panel.  Marvel announced a new series titled ‘Kanan: The Last Padawan’ written by Greg Weisman with art by Pepe Larraz.  The book will begin in April 2015 and solves the mystery of what Weisman is doing with Star Wars despite not being involved with Season 2 of Rebels.

The comic will help fill in the gaps in regards to Kanan’s background as a Jedi Padawan and go into his relationship with Master Depa Billaba.

If you’re excited about Rebels, go watch Gargoyles

So you’re eagerly anticipating Rebels but you need something to hold you over until it releases. Why not give Gargoyles a try? Gargoyles was one of the first shows that Rebels executive producer Greg Weisman ran. It was, in a way, Disney’s answers to the dark and beloved Batman: TAS. As a bonus to viewers, it’s also essentially a Star Trek: TNG cast reunion (check out the IMDB sometime).

Now all three seasons are available streaming on YouTube thanks to Disney opening up the vault. Get an idea of what Weisman has to offer with this animated favorite.

In the latest installment of Star Wars Insider, Rebels executive producer Greg Weisman sat down to discuss what’s in store for the new series. Among the reveals was that the primary cast would be featuring a pair of female leads.

We have two strong female leads in the show among our set of characters and we think they are going to be fan favorites very quickly. That’s always been a personal priority for me in all the work I’ve done, to have a strong and diverse cast of characters, both in terms of gender and race.

Additionally, the official site posted a video interview with Weisman to talk about the new show and answer some questions.
