EW.com sat down with Star Wars Rebels Executive Producer Simon Kinberg for an interview. Kinberg stated that: "We took all our cues from the original films. Obviously there are slight tonal differences between New Hope, Empire and Jedi. But I think the closest intended voice of the show is A New Hope. So there are places where we get into darker backstories, there are places we see how cruel and malevolent the Empire can be, but for the most part it’s a fun and character-driven story."

Can you say plot-wise what’s the inciting incident that kicks off your story in your first episode?

Um, I’m going to be a little vague about it. It’s less because I want to be secretive but more because part of the fun for me, and I know this will sound very nostalgic, part of the fun of the original movies is not knowing too much about it. I will say when we pick up the show when the Empire is in power and the inciting incident is the Empire doing their bad-Empire thing and our heroes meeting up.

USA Today quotes JJ: "That's the current plan," Abrams said while stopping by the Television Critics Association winter press tour "We have our script and we're full steam ahead. Have script, will travel."

Abrams, who wrote the script for Star Wars: Episode VII with Lawrence Kasdan (The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi), had no news regarding the story or casting, the latter a topic that has been the subject of numerous rumors.

"We can't talk about story yet," said the director, who plans to travel to England soon to begin work on the seventh film in the long-running saga. As far as casting, he had no details but said they will come "soon, and I look forward to that so that we can get past it and we can get on with it."

Abrams described working on the much-anticipated film as "thrilling. But it's a lot."
