Sircar’s Sabine vs. Empire in ‘Star Wars Rebels’

Via USAToday.com and reported by Yakface.com:

Part of Tiya Sircar’s induction into the Star Wars family was walking a red carpet with Imperial Stormtroopers. But at least her arrival to this past weekend’s Radio Disney Music Awards was in cosmic style.

“I had never seen a Stormtrooper in real life. They were lovely,” says Sircar, the actress who voices the Mandalorian explosives expert Sabine in the upcoming animated series Star Wars Rebels.

In honor of Star Wars Day on May 4, the first Rebels trailer premieres early Sunday morning (3:01 a.m. ET/12:01 PT) on various websites including StarWars.com and Disney.com, and will also air during Disney XD’s LEGO animated special Star Wars: The New Yoda Chronicles on Sunday night (7 ET/PT).

ABC’s Good Morning America will air a 30-second sneak peek at the trailer for Rebels, which is slated to debut as a one-hour special this fall on Disney Channel with an animated series to follow on Disney XD.
