Rebels Recon #12 takes you behind the scenes of the Star Wars Rebels episode "Call to Action".

Let's head behind-the-scenes of the hit Disney show Star Wars Rebels and find out some great inside information concerning the episode "Call to Action". (My apologies that I did not get to post this when it aired.)
"In Rebels Recon #12, StarWars.com goes behind the scenes of the Star Wars Rebels episode "Call to Action,” with creator interviews and much more! 
In "Call to Action,” the notorious Grand Moff Tarkin comes to Lothal, planning to deal with the Ghost crew personally. Meanwhile, Kanan plans a different kind of attack against the Empire: to take control of a communications tower and broadcast an anti-Imperial, pro-rebel message. They’re ultimately successful, but the Inquisitor and Tarkin take Kanan captive in the resulting battle. 
This week, the Recon team wraps up their look at lighting in Star Wars Rebels. In this episode, Tarkin’s arrival at Imperial HQ was lit to match the Emperor’s landing and descent on the Death Star in Return of the Jedi. “Very hard, top-down lighting,” CG supervisor Joel Aron points out. The lighting at the end of the episode, with the sun rising, was meant to convey a sense of optimism. “We wanted to represent the fact that the message…does in fact get out,” lighting concept artist Chris Voy says. 
In this week's deep dive, Lucasfilm's Andi Gutierrez speaks with the Star Wars Rebels team about the return of Grand Moff Tarkin. For Freddie Prinze, Jr., the voice of Kanan, it’s a special event. "You gotta undertand,” he says. “When you’re a kid and this is all you know, it means a lot to you.” 
Stephen Stanton, who voiced Tarkin in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, returns to the role for Star Wars Rebels. “I was absolutely just bowled over,” he says of being asked to come back. It’s a particularly fun role for Stanton, as Tarkin is hugely powerful at this point, and everyone – heroes and villains – fear him. “There’s something that’s so terrifying about a severe British man,” Lucasfilm’s Pablo Hidalgo confirms."
