Star Wars Rebels

Boy, that Disney really knows how to break the internet. In addition to news of Rian Johnson planning a brand-new Star Wars trilogy, so too is Disney finally pulling the trigger on a live-action Star Wars TV series for its upcoming streaming service. Plus – is Marvel headed away from Netflix?

Star Wars Rebels won’t officially conclude its fourth and final season until 2018, but both Rogue One and the animated Forces of Destiny have offered tantalizing clues. Now, the latest short definitively answers the fate of several Rebels figures beyond Rogue One, and potentially into the new trilogy.

From ‘Rogue One’ to ‘The Clone Wars,’ we take a look back at all of ‘Star Wars Rebels’ major ties to the larger universe before Season 4’s premiere.

We’ve gone a few months without checking in on Star Wars: Forces of Destiny, and they’re about to go into hyperdrive. Disney will premiere two new half-hour installments of the shorts, featuring a number of connections between Rebels, Rogue One, The Force Awakens and more.

We’ve waited months for intel on Star Wars Rebels’ fourth and final season, and there’s good news and bad for the October premiere. A new Disney XD schedule reveals exactly when each new episode will air, but the final season will go quickly with all the double-airings.

Another September has arrived, and with it comes the new annual tradition of Hasbro releasing the first new Star Wars toys meant to tie into Lucasfilm movie of that given year. Though September 1 was dubbed as Force Friday II, this past weekend was actually the third consecutive time Hasbro’s Star Wars team unleashed a bevvy of new figures across both the 3.75” and 6” lines. Given the response to the last two yearly events, we hit up Force Friday II at our local retailer to get our hands on some of those Black Series figures first, and came away impressed with almost all the figures in this first batch.

The link between Star Wars Rebels and Rogue One grew even stronger with the latest Season 4 trailer, but don’t expect to revisit everyone. Showrunner Dave Filoni confirms a major figure from the Empire won’t appear, despite getting a shout-out in the new footage.

At long last, The Ghost has its final heading. Star Wars Rebels has booked an October premiere for the fourth and final season, releasing a brand-new trailer tying the animated series directly to Rogue One.

Just when you thought the end of Game of Thrones Season 7 might cut you a break from must-see shows, in swoops fall TV with dozens upon dozens of new and returning TV series; enough to drive your DVR to self-immolation. Join us for a sneak peek!

We’re still waiting on the precipice of Star Wars Rebels’ final season, but who’s to say Season 3 has given up all its goods? Get a deeper look into the final showdown between Darth Maul and Obi-Wan Kenobi, including a Qui-Gon touch you might not have noticed.
