STAR WARS REBELS TO RETURN FOR FOURTH SEASON THIS FALL (http://www.starwars.com/news/star-wars-rebels-to-return-for-fourth-season-this-fall)

STAR WARS REBELS // MARCH 3, 2017
THE HIT ANIMATED SERIES' FOURTH SEASON WILL PREMIERE LATER THIS YEAR ON DISNEY XD.
Despite the best efforts of the Grand Inquisitor, Darth Vader, and Grand Admiral Thrawn, the Ghost crew will be back.
Star Wars Rebels is set to return for a fourth season, Lucasfilm announced today, premiering later this year on Disney XD. Production is already underway. Marc Buhaj, senior vice president, programming and general manager, Disney XD said, “The team behind Star Wars Rebels delivers epic storytelling that has captivated fans of all ages across the globe. We’re excited to continue sharing the journey of these fan-favorite rebels with our audience in the fall.”
Star Wars Rebels, set between the events of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: A New Hope, features a cast of new heroes and has included Star Wars icons like Darth Vader, Yoda, and Princess Leia, along with fan favorites such as Ahsoka Tano and Captain Rex from the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series. The show is currently in the midst of a thrilling third season, which has seen the introduction of the threatening villain Grand Admiral Thrawn, a direct connection to Rogue One: A Star Wars Story with an appearance by Saw Gerrera, and the legendary Maul on a journey for his ultimate revenge. The gifted cast includes Freddie Prinze Jr. as Kanan, Vanessa Marshall as Hera, Steve Blum as Zeb, Tiya Sircar as Sabine, Taylor Gray as Ezra, Dee Bradley Baker as Captain Rex, David Oyelowo as Agent Kallus, Forest Whitaker as Saw Gerrera, Sam Witwer as Maul, Tom Baker as Bendu, and Lars Mikkelsen as Grand Admiral Thrawn. Fans can look forward to more details and an announcement about the exciting fourth season of Star Wars Rebels during Star Wars Celebration in Orlando this April!
So while the Empire probably isn’t too thrilled, we can’t wait for Season Four.
It's interesting to see that Tiya Sircar listed in the cast, but Sabine is missing from the image of the Ghost crew. But I don't think we've seen the last of her.
-
She's there, between Kanan and Hera, in front of Zeb
-
DOH! I'm still trying to wake up... even though I got up at 4 AM today.

No worries. I missed her the first time, too.
-
Plenty of time for people to ask "When are the jedi characters gonna die?"again and again....
-
Great news! Should give them plenty of time to wrap things up satisfactorily on multiple fronts.
-
I thought Season 3 was supposed to be the last season. Am I completely wrong, or did they change their mind and leave it open ended?
-
Season 3 was suppose to lead directly into Rogue One but they went a completely different way. Saw was more of stunt than an actual running plot. We know the Ghost, Chopper and Hera survive into Rogue One time.

I never got the sense that would happen at all. I certainly didn't think that Season 3 would be the final season in the series. Yes, there are elements of REBELS that turn up in ROGUE ONE, but they didn't appear in a way that would denote the passage of time except for Hera now being referred to as General Syndulla.
With Saw? He looked a bit more like he appeared in the flashback scenes of ROGUE ONE. He didn't have the robotic leg in the Geonosis episode that he had in the Jedha scenes of ROGUE ONE, either. It would seem Saw has a bit of territory to cover before we see him circa ROGUE ONE.
The key for me in terms of the timeline is Dantooine. After the events of this past week's episode I got the sense that following Mon Mothma's statement the Rebel Alliance is about to coalesce more formally. And I suspect that will also lead them to establish a new base of operations on Dantooine. That seems like it may tie in with this line from ANH that Officer Cass delivers to Tarkin:
"Our scout ships have reached Dantooine. They found the remains of a Rebel base, but they estimate that it has been deserted for some time"
It seems likely to me that the series could still cover another couple of years while the Rebels operate from Dantooine. At least until they establish the base on Yavin IV.
On a related note? I've heard rumors that Dave Filoni is now working on developing a new Star Wars animated series. What it may be or when it might come out is beyond me. But based on a lot of the BTS video that's been released on the Official Site, it seems like Filoni has taken a step back with his involvement on REBELS. And that makes me think it's likely that REBELS may have a season or two left before Lucasfilm transitions over to the next animated project.
-
A new look for Rex? (https://twitter.com/pablohidalgo/status/852716975172333568) Or some serious retconning?
-
Filoni has been joking about Rex = Sant since at least March 2016 (http://www.slashfilm.com/captain-rex-in-return-of-the-jedi/).
Not sure if this panel reveal means Filoni has finally gotten his way or if this is just his way of trying to get some Rebels buzz going and not be lost in the 40th Anniversay and Last Jedi panels/news avalanche at Celebration. ;)
-
I can't believe they are one and the same. Skin tone would be way off.
-
Ruhk's coming in season 4, voiced by Warwick Davis.\
And Filoni says season 4 is the last season. :-\
-
Let's hope he fulfills his destiny before the next season is over. ;)

It is a pretty good joke. And the resemblance is striking!
It's a little bittersweet that they said this will be the final season. But I think a lot of people recognized that REBELS would have a finite run. Especially since some of the events and cast transition into ROGUE ONE.

Star Wars Rebels Season 4 Trailer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-b7GAhnVwhA) if you haven't seen it yet.
Ruhk's coming in season 4, voiced by Warwick Davis.\
I saw so many tweets about ROOK coming to season four that it took me a while to connect the dots that ROOK = RUHK. :-[
Man, I really hope that brings the Nohgri into current canon enough to finally get a 3.75" figure.
-
In season 3 Thrawn used "Ruhk" as a password for controlling his training droids. There's definitely been some groundwork laid for this plotline.
As for a Noghri in the line? There was that one glimmer of a Noghri from some leaked artwork for a cancelled comic 2-pack. Although that was a Noghri and the Wookiee Ralracheen from the Dark Horse adaptation of Heir to the Empire.
-
I just hope they go with Zahn's description and not like the ones from the Heir to the Empire comics which were later in the Jedi Academy video game.
-
Terrific trailer! Psyched there will be proper closure...they had a good run for sure. They have a lot of loose ends to tie up before R1 though. Gonna be a busy season.
Saw about a dozen different things in that trailer that would make for great toys too...
-
I like the trailer. I'm hopeful to one day get a TIE Defender for my collection. It looks like they might explore Saw Guerra's split from the alliance, that would be cool to see. I also like the Rogue One elements they put into the trailer.
Should be a good send-off for the show.
-
Trailer 2 is out. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtigV-biVGg)
Looks like we'll see more of the split between the Rebel Alliance and Saw Gerrera. Also a mention of Director Krennic and project Stardust. looks like this will be a good season.
-
Ziggy Stardust confirmed as part of Star Wars canon!
-
the spiders were always canon.
-
Is my cable guide correct? Is this on like 6 times today?

Possibly. My DVR recorded it last night, so I watched it this morning. That's all I'll say for now.
-
Ok. All the listings say "repeat" but season 4 so if you dvr'd it yesterday that makes sense

Disney says it premieres today... but I was confused when it said it was late at night. Must have been a midnight premiere?
-

Pretty much. For some strange reason, Disney is showing the new episodes five times on Monday @ 12:30 a.m. ET/PT, 3:00 a.m. ET/PT, 7:30 a.m. ET/PT, 5:30 p.m. ET/PT, and 9:00 p.m. ET/PT
More info here -> STAR WARS REBELS SEASON FOUR VIEWING SCHEDULE (http://www.starwars.com/news/star-wars-rebels-season-four-viewing-schedule)
Look for new episodes every Monday with five airings throughout the day at 12:30 a.m. ET/PT, 3:00 a.m. ET/PT, 7:30 a.m. ET/PT, 5:30 p.m. ET/PT, and 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on Disney XD, the Disney XD App, and VOD. StarWars.com’s Rebels Recon behind-the-scenes series will be posted after the 9:00 p.m. ET/PT broadcast, and episode guides will be published on Tuesdays at 9:00 a.m. ET / 6:00 a.m. PT.

I found Heroes of Mandalore 1&2 underwhelming, but then...Mando culture doesn't interest me. They don't have the budget to show the Clone Wars version of the planet...so wastelands.
-
I thought the episodes were very "meh".
Not my favorite spent hour
-

I agree completely. I think that the way they have portrayed the Mandalore culture (in SW:CW and SW:R) sucks. It is dull and takes away from the mystique of the Fett characters.
I also loathe how nimble they are when using their jet packs. The movies did not portray Jango or Boba flying like Superman.
There is far richer soil to dig in by fleshing out the Rogue One era Rebellion than this junk. Glad its over and I hope that's the end of Mandalore.
-
I don't even understand how they control the jetpacks.
Spoilers comments:
Sabine's dad the non-warrior...surprise....kinda, but still just *shrug*
The consequences of the Empire using Sabine's weapon were tossed aside by having no named character die from it.
Jet-pack using Mandalorian and Ezra taking out TIE Fighters?
They didn't even do the cliche of having the doubting pro-Empire Mando defect to the rebels.
Frying the imperials was stooping to their leveling, instead Sabine just blows up the entire Star Destroyer with virtually no time for the Imperials to escape.
You might think Bo-Katan would mention she's been handed the weapon that was used to kill her sister!
-
The jetpack nimbleness is pretty ridiculous.
And would you really let novice, Jedi albeit, Ezra use one in battle? They should have just given one to Jar Jar.
-
In the Name of
Love The Rebellion. SPOILERS
I don't understand why you'd fly your damaged fighters through the atmosphere where their electrical fires or whatever can get more oxygen, then attempt near crash landings. Why not stall in space and wait for pick-up?
Agent Kallas in rebel attire....oh, but he doesn't do anything. :(
Mon Mothma tries to talk reason to Ezra. She forgot the stick required to BEAT IT INTO HIM. ::)
Chopper kills some people. 8)
Edrio Two Tubes...yay!
Goodbye, Cmdr Bronchitis or whatever. :'(
TIE Defender menace almost immediately neutered. Odd they'd be assigned to a light cruiser, anyway, as they aren't common supposedly. (This is putting more thought into it than the writers.)
Ezra and Sabine get most of the screen time in part two. As if they didn't just get it in the previous 2 parter.
Multi-alien techs, alas they resist the urge to make the Ishi Tibb the ROTJ rebel Ishi Tib...I think?
Female Death Trooper Cmdr. Interesting.
Big piece of kryptonite!
Another Star Destroyer totaled. Rebels tradition of conking out enemies or stunning them, only to leave them to die on an exploding ship continues!
It was an okay two parter elevated by Saw and Mothma's appearances, but a little underwhelming, as it's another tease for the Death Star. We know more than the characters, and that's not that fun anymore.
-
I liked the Rogue One nods and seeing a TIE defender. I’m still hoping for Hasbro to make this vehicle!
-
I hope they're done with the Mandalorian storyline. The first two episodes were okay, but not great.
-
Mandos are really overrated and I've never liked them bring the planet and their race into it really. I like the idea they're staying relatively neutral but that's me I guess.
The last eps were much more interesting to me but yeah, landing the YWing into a place with other ships and a bunch of people? Uh wha? I like Endrio showing up and Death Trooper fun. And I'd give a nut for Disney to repaint Chopper in imperial deco and yellow worker deco. That figure needs many flavors!
-
Tonight's episodes were pretty good. Anytime there's a TIE Defender it give me hope that Hasbro will make them!
Loved way Thrawn summoned his inner Patton.....nice little nod there.
-
Patton! Right. I was thinking the Joker vs Batwing in BATMAN.
The Occupation was so-so. Once again Rex and Kallus are sidelined. We learn that Old Joe is dead :'( . And the most irritating thing, that the Imperial March is music within the Star Wars universe itself (people have beat that wonderful theme into the ground). Lots of running around tunnels and Stormtroopers not hitting anything. Yay. Ryder's resistance is what, two people?
Flight of the Defender
The better of the two over all.
Puts some sting back into the TIE Defender.
Of course Ryder and Zeb are on the sidelines so the underused duo of Ezra and Sabine get the focus. :P
Sabine takes out some but not all the fighters...nobody's perfect. She actively tries to kill Thrawn.
Odd the Imperial Gunships are piloted by AT-DP pilots. Were they before...I can't remember.
Then things get weird with the large semi-talking wolf that no one else sees. Spoooky.
-
I watch this show for things I want to make at this point. Otherwise I feel it's terrible, and I only like Hera, the Ghost, and Chopper... Kanan to a lesser extent. Everyone else blows.
Oh and I won't toss Kellus into that mix he's ok. He also does nothing now.
Annoyed they keep taking old EU and trying to shoehorn it into this era because that just shows how little creativity is in this all. Basically this show is just off my SW timeline for the most part now.
-
They've got 10 episodes left to make this show mean something. It's not THE CLONE WARS of the Imperial era. Of course it never had the budget or episode orders to be that.
I feel the whole show could've been saved with an appearance by Meebur Gascon and D Squad. :P
-
Biggest flaw to it, for me, was forcing (no pun) Jedi into it. I get it's a kids show and kids like light sabers to be sure, but I felt that took something away from Ben being among the last and all that. They could've done a lot with this being a lighter version of Rogue One, with Rebels not really having grand victories but little ones that helped the cause.
If any jedi was to be important in it I'd have had it be Ashoka and only Ashoka and her struggle with giving up the Jedi Order, her survival, maybe her attempts to not use the light sabers Ns blend in more... instead we have the whole Jedi thing forced on us, mystical magical bull**** episodes, Darth Maul, the ultimate unflushable turd... a friggin fat old clone...
And from day one making the empire completely inept was dumb.
Sorry, just feel let down by this.
Forces Of Destiny is far more enjoyable for some reason. I mean a lot of Clone Wars lulls existed too but it had some really great highs too. This show, I can't think of one great moment. Some ok stuff. It nothing consistent to me. Now we've got this wolf BS cuz hey Dave likes em so yeah. FFS😑
-
The worst part of the series, for me, has been Ashoka, Rex, and Maul. I thought the Clone Wars series was really bad (whith a few bright spots) and they chained Rebels to it by adding them into the mix.
-
The Kindred.
Magic wolves. Even more magical this time.
Ruhk...uh...I dunno about him.
Mysteries without any answers. Meh.
Hera escapes with the plans in an amusing fashion that trashes a hangar bay.
Crawler Commandeers
The better of the two, maybe? Seth Green guest stars as an annoying little pest who dies a painful death. It's odd that two Trandoshans give our heroes so much trouble. Mining guild uses familiar IG model as a security. Vizago is back.
Odd, it's called a crawler, but is a big repulsor lift craft, no treads.
Half-way through the final season, and they still feel like they're moving too slow.
-
I'm not sure I loved the Disney representation of Rukh, but I'll take what I can get. So cool to see Rukh "officially" in the Star Wars universe.
(Toy! Toy! Toy!)
-
Ruhk is a good bit more based on the original art laid out for the Noghri by West End Games than the latter interpretations. WEG even made them as miniatures and they're kind of my favored look for the species. I'd love that Wookiee Noghri comic pack. :(
-
Anyone watch this week's Rebels yet? Cable guide only lists one episode and not two.......
-
When I was programming the DVR for the new episode I only found the one episode, titled "Rebel Assault". A nice nod to an old game, IMHO.
On a tangential note, I am incredibly frustrated with my cable carrier. I tried setting up my DVR to record the entire season of REBELS, but for whatever reason the season option will not work. And I've had to program each episode individually, which has been a tremendous pain in the ass.
-
I dunno. Is this all for this year?
Rebel Assault
I recall not liking that old PC game.
Some rebel pilots I don't remember seeing before.
Star Destroyers sure die easily. Oh, yeah. saved the factory, but lost a heavy cruiser and a light cruiser...and one of the best fighter pilot...and air defenses , an AT-DP....
Ruhk wins the semi-competent henchman award for being able to capture someone who is sacrificing herself for others.
Magic wolves.
-
I liked the episode...kind of odd to be going on hiatus so early.

Check out the trailer for the 2nd half of REBELS Season 4 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jWIDwq44ZI)
You can also check out this i09 article (https://io9.gizmodo.com/the-final-trailer-for-star-wars-rebels-is-here-and-we-1822194377) about the trailer that includes an interview with series producer Dave Filoni.
-
Looks good. My kids will like seeing that tonight!
And then 4 weeks of asking me when it will be on. ::)
-
I can't wait to pick the episodes apart and tell you all why they suck. :P
Maaagic wolves....after Last Jedi...seem just as silly. LOL.
-
Haven't seen Rebels in a while, but looking forward to seeing how the wrap things up. Ian McDiarmid back as Palpy - outstanding. Biggest oversight of the new era so far is this man has gone unused.
-

I've missed this
-
I'm not sure where I stand among the Star Wars masses, but this show has been by far my favorite of the cartoon series. I never got into the any of the Clone Wars stuff and I suspect because it was so "tied" to the PT which I hated as movies.
I've enjoyed the way Rebels is so stand alone as a series, yet has the movie characters getting legitimate cameos where they play a side roll and are not the leading element to a story. I certainly hope to see a happy end to the series.
-
My elementary school age kids and I have enjoyed the series too. I like that its not too dark as Clone Wars could be at times.
The kids and I were just re-watching some of the Season 4 episodes last night and it was fun to see Wedge in there. I think it would also be cool if Biggs got worked in there too, but I do like how Mon Mothma, Bail Organa, and others have made it in to the show.
-
I'm loving that CLONE WARS is still on Netflix, because I'm re-watching the Mortis trilogy right now. It seems like that arc is relevant to some of what we saw in the trailer, so it seems like a good way to brush up on some of that Force lore before the rest of the REBELS season kicks off.
-
They let us know that was going to happen pretty early on, but still pretty powerful
-
"Jedi Night" was a bit of a gut punch. I was not prepared for that.
-
Dave Filoni is talking about "Jedi Night" and "Dume" (http://www.syfy.com/syfywire/dave-filoni-digs-into-the-events-of-star-wars-rebels-big-double-feature) to SyFiWire. And he's got some interesting layers to add to the story that might not have been so obvious on the first viewing.
-
"Jedi Night" was a bit of a gut punch. I was not prepared for that.
Same here. This was a very good episode.
-
"Jedi Night" was a bit of a gut punch. I was not prepared for that.
*trying to avoid spoilers for those who care*
My kids kept asking me, "did that really just happen? Did it? Did it?"
-
Wait... they got Malcolm McDowell to voice a character? FOR REAL?!?!
-
There was a lot going on in these episodes. Definitely worth a re-watch.
Hell, I need to go back to Season 2 and Clone Wars!
-
I guess we learned the fate of one character that was left ambiguously unanswered.
-
There was a ton happening in these episodes. Learning the fate of a key character was huge. The guest voice actors were amazing. And there was even foreshadowing (https://twitter.com/pablohidalgo/status/968553645145862144) of the excavation on Lothal storyline going back to season 2.
I can't believe next week is the series finale.
-
Haven't had a ton of time to digest. Overall pretty nice ending. Was caught off guard by how much info we got in the epilogue about who survived after ROTJ.
So that being said, and forgive my rant in advance, why does Disney have to s&$t on beloved "Legends" stuff. Even haters of EU love Zahn's books. Why mess with Thrawn's stuff. Rukh kills him for screwing his species. Giant Force Whales do not take him away. I take this too seriously but man I'm annoyed.
-
Haven't had a ton of time to digest. Overall pretty nice ending. Was caught off guard by how much info we got in the epilogue about who survived after ROTJ.
An interesting ending and I liked the epilogue... but the epilogue brought up some questions... namely Jacen Syndulla (which we assume would be Kanan's son, but they only admitted to liking each other just before he was killed (or did they have a moment but hadn't said the three words yet? Don't remember). I expected him to be older, but now that I think about it, if Jacen is 7, then that's probably right if it's after the Battle of Endor. I guess I would have expected him to have lekku instead of looking completely human (not the dominant gene).
Ezra and Thrawn. The ending is left ambiguous but I think Filoni has said they are still alive. I am rather surprised by this just because I would assume they were in deep space/lack of oxygen would kill them (not that it bothered Leia much), but... suspension of disbelief.
-
The only thing I don't like about the ending is Thrawn being taken away like that. Although, if it hadn't happened that way, I think Thrawn would have just retaken Lothal, so file this under minor gripe. I'm curious if the next Thrawn novel will touch on any of this....doubtful because I think it happens before his appearance on Rebels.
I liked the Governor Price character...especially after reading the lates Thrawn novel....so he end was quite satisfying.
I really liked the reconciliation for Kallus and Zeb's people....a nice end to his story.
I am kinda mixed on Ezra's "end". I doubt he could be found since Luke is supposed to be the last of the Jedi...but I guess there could be some reconciliation to his story between ROTJ and TFA. I liked the little shot of Ahsoka with Sabine at the end going to search for him.
Overall, I enjoyed it. A nice finish to the series and I'm looking forward to what's next.
-
I agree, Matt. I thought it was a bad "end" for Thrawn. I kind of felt like the writers didn't know how to make a good enough fate for Thrawn since he's so awesome a villain and "Rebels" is a kids show... so they let the space whales take him away. Perhaps this allows for him to come back from wherever it is they were sent in a later series (isn't Filoni working on a new project?)
As for Ezra, I'm guessing that Ahsoka will find him and train him to be a gray Jedi (or whatever she is), so it would be somewhat different than Luke's position with the Force/Jedi relationship. Wherever Ezra's gone, I would think he'd have to be far enough that Palpatine can't sense him or Ezra isn't as powerful as Luke otherwise I'd think we'd find Palpatine would be looking for Ezra too.
Oh! Forget to add about the Royal Guards cameo and the use of Force Pikes. That was pretty cool.
-
SPOILERS......
I thought the finale was pretty good, and I'm going to miss the show. Much like Clone Wars, I thought it got better as it went along. If you watch the Rebels Recon for this week, Filoni actually confirms that Ezra and Thrawn both survived the end.
I'm really curious to see what's next. It has been a lot of fun watching this with our daughter the past four seasons, and I hope a new animated show isn't far off. I know there were rumors of a sequel trilogy time framed series. I'd really like to see a post-ROTJ series, if they were allowed to cover that time. Carry through some of these characters from CW, Rebels, and maybe some of the OT cast shows up as well.
-
They also offed Captain Pellaeon in a throw away line.
I liked the ending. I was like WTF at Jacen Syndulla.
-
Question: Sabine says Jacen Syndulla likes to fly like his father. Was Kanan really that big into flying?
-
They also offed Captain Pellaeon in a throw away line.
I liked the ending. I was like WTF at Jacen Syndulla.
I wasn't sure if that was Pellaeon biting it. I can feel my anger growing again. And I didn't mention Rukh, which was kinda secondary to Thrawn. Weak Disney!
-
I did like the Palleon call out.
Also, remember that the only canon Thrawn material are the two latest novels and the Rebels TV show. Seeing Ruhk was a bonus, but he doesn't have to act exactly like the Heir to the Empire novels (as much as I love those)....I still want the Noghri to be more cat-like and wear red robes dammit! :D
One thing about the Thrawn novel is that he's not as ruthless as portrayed in Rebels....he's actually the Hero to some degree. I really like that portrayal too. I'm curious to see what the next novel will tell us about him, and I'm curious what future TV shows will give us in regards to Thrawn, Ezra, Ahsoka and Sabine.....Filoni has stated Ezra and Thrawn did survive.
-
I get Zahn is not canon. Doesn't mean you have to "change" it. I feel slapped in the face. Yes that's hyperbole.
-
Change post OT. You spent $4 billion. Delete EU characters. But if you use EU don't alter a beloved character. And yes this is very personal to me so take it with a grain of salt
-
Considering that we're supposed to be in the Snowpocalypse here in NJ today, I was finally able to watch the DVR's episodes.
Losing Kanan was tough, without a doubt. But it was also an exercise in sacrifice that set Ezra on a path where he knew that things might not go as well as he might hope. But it was interesting to see how the focus of the crew of the Ghost shifted over the course of the series. It all started on Lothal. Eventually in ventured beyond and we got to see them in the context of the Rebel Alliance. But it was good to see them return to the location that started it all, and an attempt to free Lothal from the Empire.
I have to say, I was really taken with the scenes between Ezra and the Emporer. Despite the events of "Wolves and a door", it seems like access to a portal might still have been possible. And it was equally unnerving to see the Emporer attempting to disguise himself with the more benign appearance. But when Ezra defied him and he reverted to his Darth Sidious likeness? That was great. As was the appearance of the Royal Guards! I was not expecting to see them, let alone them using their force pikes against Ezra.
The ending was a clear example of Ezra learning sacrifice from Kanan. But having heard Filoni say that Ezra and Thrawn are both alive? Who knows what to think.
I was left wondering what might happen with Ahsoka and Sabine. There have been rumblings about an Ahsoka live action movie. I wonder if it's a real possibility now?
-
I'd LOVE to see Ahsoka live action or otherwise. I have so many questions about her and her journey. I keep expecting her to either depart the saga for good, or intersect with the majors in some way and I don't think either is going to happen. At least not in ways I expect. Her searching for Ezra though, and his survival opens a huge potential for an entire offshoot branch of the Jedi Order from Luke's/Rey's that could portend some very interesting stuff if they want to have some fun.
Regarding Pellaeon, there is hope for him it seems:
https://io9.gizmodo.com/that-fan-favorite-eu-character-name-dropped-on-star-war-1823592926
-
I had to watch the epilogue a couple of times to get it all.
I’m not sure that I like the thought of Ahsoka clearly being alive, or even Filoni saying Thrawn and Ezra are still alive.
I struggled a bit with the Zahn Trilogy being cast aside. I expected Ruhk to live and Thrawn to escape so the trilogy could happen, but I guess the whole Luke / Mara Jade stuff obviously can’t happen.
I feel with Ahsoka still being alive it kind of cheapens the whole Luke / Yoda - that boy is our last hope, no there is another, his sister bit. Hell, if Ahsoka is still alive she has some skills too and could maybe take down Vader and the Emperor.
Unless they’ve got plans for Ahsoka and Ezra in an upcoming series (live action TV), I would have preferred to have them to be assumed dead.
Ultimately the kids and I really liked the series and they were bummed it was coming to an end. Hopefully they get something else ramped up for the fall.

Question: Sabine says Jacen Syndulla likes to fly like his father. Was Kanan really that big into flying?
He's not the daddy! Wedge is! LOLZ.

Finally watched all of Season 4 on DVD over the past couple days. Overall it was good, but I wasn’t sure what to make of the whole Ashoka alive thing at the end like others noted above. Plus the whole Ezra and Thrawn gonoff with the hyper space whales thing. And I’m guessing Hera’s kid was by her and Kanan (or a leprechaun :P ). Still, I liked the tie-ins with Rogue One and was glad Rebels at least got an ending!
