The story unfolds during a dark time when the evil Galactic Empire is tightening its grip of power on the galaxy. The motley but clever crew of the starship Ghost - cowboy Jedi Kanan, ace pilot Hera, street-smart teenager Ezra, the "muscle" Zeb, warrior firebrand Sabine, and cantankerous old astromech droid Chopper - are among a select few who are brave enough to stand against the Empire. Together, they will face new villains and become heroes with the power to ignite a rebellion.
