Following the 40th anniversary panel on Thursday and the “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” panel on Friday, the Star Wars Celebration convention in Orlando held a “Star Wars Rebels” panel on Saturday, where the trailer for Season 4 was shown for the first time.
Executive producer Dave Filoni confirmed that the upcoming fourth season of the Disney XD animated series will also be the final one, stating “I firmly believe that each generation needs to have their own piece of ‘Star Wars’ and this show, for a lot of kids growing up with it, is as much a piece of ‘Star Wars’ as any of the movies.” Filoni says the plan is to finish the story on a high note rather than risk a premature cancellation as what happened with “Star Wars: The Clone Wars.”
The series centers on an orphaned boy named Ezra Bridger, a fallen Jedi named Kanan Jarrus, and the misfit crew of the Ghost: pilot Hera Syndulla, surly droid Chopper, reformed bounty hunter Sabine Wren, and mercenary muscle Zeb Orellios.
Also appearing on stage were the voice actors Freddie Prinze Jr. (Kanab Jarrus), Vanessa Marshall (Hera), Taylor Gray (Ezra), Steven Blum (Zeb Orrellos) and Tiya Sircar (Sabine).
The final 15 episodes will serve as a bridge to the events seen in last year’s standalone film “Rogue One,” as well as “A New Hope.” It will also include more characters from the films, with Genevieve O’Reilly, who played Mon Mothma in Rogue One, returning to the series to voice the Rebel leader once again. “Mon Mothma has always been pretty level, but you might see her get a little fiery for once,” Filoni says. “She’s a leader for a reason.”
Forest Whitaker will also return to the show and reprise his “Rogue One” role as the insurgent Saw Gerrera, partnered with his alien co-pilot Idrio Two-Tubes.
Following the panel, fans inside the theater were treated to the premiere of the 1st episode, Heroes of Mandalore Part 1.
