Join the Rebellion as Star Wars Rebels Take Over Club Penguin

Club Penguin Star Wars Rebels Takeover

Eva and I have been playing Club Penguin together for a while. We were provided with a membership so that we could play the game and review it and promote it. We’ve played when Frozen took over Club Penguin and now it is very exciting to see that Star Wars Rebels takes over Club Penguin. We’ve been watching Star Wars Rebels together and love the show. Eva is a huge fan of characters like Hera and Sabine. I like Zeb and Kanan. We’re excited to play Club Penguin and earn a lightsaber. We now have the game on my phone and on Eva’s tablet. Check out more information about this takeover in the press release below.
