'Star Wars Rebels' Plot Details, Episodes, Spoilers [PHOTO]: First Look At Darth Vader In Disney XD Series

When new episodes of Star Wars Rebels premieres Oct. 26, 2014, fans of the new animated series will get a great cameo from Darth Vader! Though our main villain in the series is The Inquisitor, we understand that Vader and Darth Sidious are still somewhere in the galaxy, pulling the strings. Now in a great sneak peek look at the cameo, we see what the animated Darth Vader looks like!

Maybe the best part of this sneak peek news is that actor Dave Prowse, who portrayed Vader in the original trilogy, was the one to share the image with the world. It was on Twitter, of course, and it gives us a cool glimpse into the technology that carried over from the movies into the series.

Let us know what you think of the animated Darth Vader in the comments section below!

A few months ago, the show's producer, Dave Filoni, spoke with Slash Film about the relationship with the show's main villain, The Inquisitor, and Vader.

"I'm sure Vader is involved in hunting down Jedi all the time. I'm sure that right after the Clone War, when the remnants are very visible and the Jedi are all trying to figure out what happened, that he was luring them into traps and wiping them out several at a time," he said. "At the point we are, so many years later, they are so few and far between that I don't think he would follow up every lead. Because one of the things that's muddled the whole operation, in my mind, is kids being born that can use the Force. The Emperor and Vader don't really want them around either. But they're so unnoticeable, you needed a group of hunters, attack dogs. And so we have an Inquisitor that goes out and hunts these guys down."
