As part of the build-up to Monday, May 4 (Star Wars Day, aka "May the 4th Be With You"), Lucasfilm is offering every episode from the first season of "Star Wars Rebels" online for free.

So carve out seven hours or so this weekend to binge-watch the animated series, and see what all the fuss is about, or catch up on that episode you miss. There are also extras, like the "Rebels Con" segments that go behind the scenes of each episode. Whatever your viewing plans are, you only have until Monday to carry them out.

Set between the events of "Revenge of the Sith" and "A New Hope," "Star Wars Rebels" follows a ragtag bunch of rebels who band together aboard the freighter ship Ghost even as the Empire strengthens its grip on the galaxy and hunts down the last remaining Jedi Knights.

The second season premieres June 20 on Disney XD with the one-hour movie "The Siege of Lothal," with new episodes following in the fall.
