Tag: Star Wars Rebels

The first trailer for “Star Wars Rebels: Season 3” was unveiled today at Star Wars Celebration. Lots of things coming this season!

• First we have the debut of Grand Admiral Thrawn who was a great villain that originated first in the Star Wars expanded universe. The Thrawn Trilogy, written by Timothy Zahn, was one of the first books written after The Original Trilogy came to a close on screen. Thrawn is best known for being “the heir to the Empire” after the events of Return Of The Jedi. That is really good news for fans because now Grand Admiral Thrawn is canon to the Star Wars Universe. He wasn’t a few weeks ago.
• Ezra has gotten a haircut and seems to be still working with Darth Maul to possibly combine the Dark and the Light sides of The Force. New green light saber after having his blue one destroyed by Darth Vader.
• Wedge Antilles as a TIE Fighter pilot? Huh?
• Kanan has a full grown beard and now has a helmet due to his blindness. Helmet has to go.
• Stormtroopers with jet packs. Or Madaloreans that serve The Empire.
• Our first look at Y-Wings in Rebels.
• Sabine wielding a darksaber! And of course, new color hair.

This is already looking better than Season 2!

Coming this fall to Disney XD!

We have seen Star Wars Original Trilogy character such as Darth Vader, Yoda, R2D2 and C3PO and Lando Calrissian make guest appearances on Star Wars Rebels, now the latest to make an appearance will be Princess Leia Organa. The Episode, A Princess In Lotahal, will air on January 20th at 9PM EST on Disney XD:

From TV Insider:

Before Season 2 of  Star Wars Rebels began, executive producer Dave Filoni teased that he was bringing another major legacy character from the films to his animated series. We can now reveal that guest star is Princess Leia Organa (who is going by General Organa in the current blockbuster Star Wars: The Force Awakens).

The iconic character—who was introduced in the very first scene of the first Star Wars movie back in 1977 (aka A New Hope)—will be featured in the January 20 episode of the Disney XD series, which is set prior to that film, just as the Galactic Empire is beginning its ruthless oppression. The teenage princess is sent to Lothal—the base planet for the series’ main characters, a group of rebel fighters—on a secret mission to bring ships for the rebel fleet. Unfortunately an Imperial lockdown throws that plan into chaos.

“We thought we had an opportunity to show her learning to be a leader, experimenting with the personality that becomes the stronger more resolute character you see in A New Hope,” Filoni says. “One of the complex challenges of depicting Leia in Rebels is that we have to remind the audience that at this point she is part of the Empire. She doesn’t believe in the Empire, but she is acting the part, almost a double agent.”

This will be Leia’s only appearance this season, and it is unknown yet if she will appear again on the series. The voice will not be provided by Carrie Fisher (the live-action actress who created the role), but instead is by Julie Dolan, who also played Leia in the video game Star Wars: Uprising.
