Over a decade after the premiere of Star Wars: Rebels, the beloved animated series is getting the re-watch treatment in the form of a podcast from iHeart Media, Pod of Rebellion. Hosted by original cast members Vanessa Marshall (Hera Syndulla), Tiya Sircar (Sabine Wren), and Taylor Gray (Ezra Bridger), moderated by actor Jon Lee Brody, with J.C. Reifenberg as the resident fact checker, each week, they talk in depth about each episode not just for its plot, but also for what went into the making of it, as well as details they pick up on along the way.

In a group discussion with The Nerds of Color, they talk about how actor Dante Basco inspired them to do a podcast, why they decided on the format that they use for their episodes, and on finding resonating themes and details in both the story and the animation that take on meaning all these years later.
