Rebels takes place during an era when the Galactic Empire is securing its grip on the galaxy. Imperial forces are hunting down the last of the Jedi Knights while a fledgling Rebel Alliance against the Empire is taking form.
Most of the visual style of Star Wars Rebels is notable because it is inspired by the Star Wars original trilogy concept art by Ralph McQuarrie .
