Some possible hints may have been released on Star Wars: Episode VII, including stuff that might appear in Star Wars Rebels.

Possible Filming PHOTOS Released From 'Episode VII?'

On Thursday, Entertainment Weekly posted the news from Rebels executive producer Simon Kinberg who dished on how the animated series and the future Episode VII connect.

"It's a very integrated process, there's real communication between all the filmmakers because we're all part of a larger timeline," Kinberg said. "There is absolutely communication and integration between the different stories. We are very aware of what they're doing in VII, and we also have to click into place with Episode IV."

Has The 'Episode VII' Villain Been Revealed?

This leaves the possibility that a character, object or city that takes place in Rebels could appear in Episode VII as well. So Rebels might be something worth watching just to get a good eye on what the important elements are.

"There are characters, vehicles, imagery that are introduced in the show before we've ever seen them in the movies, possibly including VII," Kinberg said.

Some of the cast members from Episode VII include Adam Driver, Lupita Nyong'o, John Boyega, Crystal Clarke, Andy Serkis. Daisy Ridley and Gwendoline Christie. Some familiar faces will also appear in the film, including Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher who will reprise their roles as Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Princess Leia.

Star Wars: Episode VII is expected to hit theaters on December 18, 2015.
