IGN: Rebels is set on Lothal, but you’ve also already established you are going to other worlds. How far are they going out into the galaxy?
Filoni: I really think of their adventures as taking place in the Lothal system. I think it’s important to kind of localize a group. If they had the ability to jump all over the galaxy, I think it’s just too wide and too broad sweeping. I also honestly think they’d get caught. You never know who you’re going to run into out in the greater galaxy. For me, in my mind, what we’ve been working around a little bit too is the idea that the rebels are growing but when you think of 'Rebels,' it’s such a term that we associate with what we see in New Hope. But Rebels are anybody that’s really raising up against the Empire. So I think what the movie of the week really establishes well is that there have been small incursions on Lothal that’s largely been identified as this one group of people but they don’t know who the people are yet. So they bring in Agent Kallus and he’s the first level of, ‘Okay what’s going on here?’ Because any little spark could lead to something greater. When he discovers there’s a Jedi at work of some kind, he calls in the Inquisitor.
