Star Wars Rebels Trailer Is Epic, Warwick Davis Joins The Cast

Fans of Star Wars Rebels were treated to a rollercoaster of emotions at Star Wars Celebration today, which is fitting since the convention took place in the theme park capital of the world, Orlando. After hearing that Season 4 of the series would be the final one, convention goers at the Rebels panel on Saturday morning got to check out the first trailer for the upcoming season. Check it out below.

The cast of the show, who sat in for the panel, were relatively tight-lipped about what fans can expect from the upcoming season. There we still a few pretty big announcements from the panel though.

Forest Whitaker will show up as Saw Gerrera, a character who has appeared in the animated Clone Wars television series, as well as Rogue One. His appearance will help bridge the character gap and give fans a full arc.

In addition, Warwick Davis (Return of the Jedi) will be playing Rukh. The character is from the novel Heir to the Empire as Thrawn's assassin bodyguard. You can check out what his character will look like in the image below.

Tiya Sircar, who voices Sabine Wren, revealed the possibility of a familiar face from the Star Wars universe popping in for the next season: "If there are any Mandalorian fans out there, you will be happy with specific episodes this season. You might be surprised where we go and who... I'm very scared right now.... Who might show up."

The most famous Mandalorian in Star Wars lore is Boba Fett. There was no confirmation that this was the character who will show up, but it's tough to think of another Mandalorian during the Galactic Civil War.

Season 4 of Star Wars Rebels will air on Disney XD this fall.
