Star Wars Rebels: New Preview Features Thrawn
Disney XD and Lucasfilm have released a new preview for the upcoming season three premiere of Star Wars Rebels. The new preview features a nice amount of new footage, plus more of the new canon debut of Grand Admiral Thrawn. You can check out the new preview in the player below.
In season three, master Imperial strategist Grand Admiral Thrawn arrives to plot the destruction of the Ghost crew and the Rebel Alliance. Unfortunately, it looks like the Ghost crew may have possibly met its match in Thrawn. Thrawn making his Rebels debut looks fantastic. It’s pretty awesome that he will be part of the new animated show for the time being.
At the very least, it’s good to see that for this era of revised Star Wars canon that creators will bring in signature and iconic characters who came out of the Star Wars Expanded Universe. Hopefully, this means that other cool characters such as Dash Rendar or Kyle Katarn could still pop up elsewhere in other new Star Wars stories down the line. Regardless, season three of Rebels is looking fantastic so far. It also looks like it will be a pretty dark season in terms of storytelling.
Star Wars Rebels Season 3 premieres Saturday, September 24. The episode airs at 8:30 pm PT/ET on Disney XD.
