There is no better cut out there, he says.

These movie trailers were just a tiny bit misleading.

For the first time, Gilroy is opening up about his work on Rogue One, confirming what many suspected about the troubled production.

It didn’t take long for Star Wars theories and Easter eggs to flood the internet after The Last Jedi hit theaters (we put together our own handy video here). But to find one of the most interesting connections to Rian Johnson’s game-changing sequel, you’ll have to revisit last year’s Rogue One, which centered on a hastily-assembled team’s efforts to steal the Death Star plans from the Empire. As it turns out, that film features an Easter egg that sets up a crucial plot point in The Last Jedi.

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.

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.

Star Wars fans were delighted with word that Rey, Jyn, Leia, Hera and more would lead a new vision of the animated universe, and there’s more good news on that double-sun horizon. See the first Forces of Destiny trailer right now, and find out the July premiere!
