Season four of Star Wars Rebels will be the final season for the animated series. The show from Lucasfilm and Disney XD has taken the crew of the Ghost from rabble-rousers fighting the Empire on places like Lothal to members of the budding, only recently established Rebel Alliance. When we last saw Hera Syndulla, Kanan Jarrus, and the gang, they were leaving their base on Atollon and fleeing from Grand Admiral Thrawn and heading to a familiar destination in the Star Wars universe: Yavin 4.
What will happen next? We’ll find out in just over a month, because the last season of Star Wars Rebels will premiere on Monday, October 16 on Disney XD. As has been the tradition, the season will kick off with a one hour episode. To accompany the premiere date announcement, Disney and Lucasfilm have also released a new trailer for season four. Brace yourselves.
I’m not sure if I’m ready. Did you catch the mention of Orson Krennic and Stardust, a.k.a. the project name for the Death Star and Galen’s nickname for Jyn Erso?
We’re inching ever towards the events of Rogue One and A New Hope, and I can only guess what that means as far as who the crew will meet. They are going back to where it all started to address a new Imperial threat on Lothal. But, I can tell you one thing the progression on the timeline means: X-wings! Did you see the X-wings? Myself and my X-wing wrist tattoo are flipping out.
Another part of season four that has me doing a happy dance? The return of Star Wars: The Clone Wars‘ Bo-Katan Kryze.
