If only I could’ve talked to Simon Kinberg two hours after I talked to him at Star Wars Celebration. I would have seen the season 2 premiere of Star Wars Rebels which answered many of the questions I asked. Even better, if I could’ve talked to him two weeks later, I could have asked the show’s executive producer about his Fantastic Four director, Josh Trank, leaving the Star Wars universe. Alas, neither of those things happened.

What did happen was a quick, 1:1 chat minutes after seeing the Star Wars Rebels season 2 trailer at Celebration which raised a whole bunch of questions about the second season of the hit show. Basically, if you weren’t at Celebration and only watched the trailer for Rebels Season 2, this is the perfect interview for you. Even if you were there though, there’s good stuff in here.

Kinberg talked about working with the story group to bring original trilogy characters into the series, that shocking season one finale, how far he is into season two and the end game of the series. Below, read our latest Simon Kinberg Star Wars Rebels interview.

Writer-Producer Simon Kinberg is keeping extremely busy these days as he’s playing a huge role in three of Hollywood’s biggest franchises: X-Men, Fantastic Four, and Star Wars. For Star Wars, his role goes beyond the movies; he’s also a co-creator, executive producer, and writer on the upcoming Star Wars animated series, Star Wars Rebels. For those of you who aren’t familiar with the series, it takes place between the events of Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope, as the Empire looks to tighten its grip on the galaxy while a rebellion begins to form…

…While Star Wars Rebels will introduce plenty of new characters, it will also bring in at least one familiar face: Lando Calrissian (voiced by Billy Dee Williams). Kinberg talked about writing for such a popular character, and may have hinted that Lando might not be the only Original Trilogy character we’ll be seeing in Rebels…
