"Star Wars Rebels: Spark of Rebellion" also began premiering in 163 countries on Disney Channels and Disney XD channels on Friday.

On Friday, "Star Wars Rebels: Spark of Rebellion" ranked #1 in Nielsen's Social Daily Top 5 for series and specials.

The television movie received acclaim from critics and fans alike since its first advance screening at San Diego Comic-Con in July for its story (set between the events of Star Wars Episodes III and IV) and its look - akin to the classic "Star Wars" trilogy. The series designs are influenced by the work of original Star Wars concept artist Ralph McQuarrie.

The "Star Wars Rebels" story unfolds during a dark time when the evil Galactic Empire is tightening its grip of power on the galaxy. Imperial forces have occupied a remote planet and are ruining the lives of its people. 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 grumpy old astromech droid Chopper - will face threatening new villains, embark on thrilling adventures and become heroes with the power to ignite a rebellion.

The voice cast includes Freddie Prinze Jr. as Kanan, Vanessa Marshall as Hera, Steve Blum as Zeb, Tiya Sircar as Sabine, Taylor Gray as Ezra, David Oyelowo as Agent Kallus and Jason Isaacs as the Inquisitor.

"Star Wars Rebels" is created by Dave Filoni ("Star Wars: The Clone Wars"), Simon Kinberg ("X-Men: Days of Future Past," "Sherlock Holmes"), and Carrie Beck. The Lucasfilm Animation production is also executive-produced by Filoni and Kinberg as well as Greg Weisman ("Gargoyles").
