If the Star Wars Rebels Season 3 release date has not been as promising as it was before, now is the time for fans to rejoice as Lucasfilm, through the Star Wars Official Website, revealed that the first two episodes will be screened on July 16, 16:00 – 18:00 in London at the upcoming Star Wars Celebration Europe. In the partial release of schedule, it stated “Star Wars Rebels executive producer and supervising director Dave Filoni will be joined by special guests to share highly-guarded sneak peeks at what’s to come in Star Wars Rebels Season Three, including a screening of the first two episodes!”
The quest to patiently wait for the arrival of Star Wars Rebels Season 3 started in November 2015 when Disney announced that they already ordered the third season of Star Wars Rebels. Since then, some spoilers came out about the development of the project.
Fans are excited to see the third season as the story of Darth Maul starts to unfold. In Star Wars Rebels Season 2, Darth Maul was seen fighting Obi Wan – Kenobi, but no details were shown as to whether he was able to survive it. Now, previous Star Wars Rebels spoilers reveal that he’s back and is all set to fight Darth Vader in the process. Despite executive producer and supervising director Dave Filoni confirming such occurrence, he also warned fans that Star Wars Rebels 3 will not be about the fight between Darth Maul and Darth Vader, but more about the compelling reason of Darth Maul’s existence.
Filoni during an interview said “What has Maul been up to? How did Maul get on this desolate planet? And we obviously don’t answer those questions at this time, but it is stuff we’ve considered when we wrote these stories. It never came to be that he would face off with Vader, at least not yet.”
Also, questions about Ahsoka Tano returning to Star Wars Rebels Season 3 remain in question. With the new season’s promising premiere at the upcoming Star Wars Celebration, make sure not to miss the latest updates and schedules.

THE PADAWAN HAS GROWN STRONG, EXHIBITING POWER IN MANY IMPRESSIVE WAYS.
After what happened in last night’s Star Wars Rebels finale, one of the greatest mysteries of the series seems to be what awaits Ezra Bridger as he struggles between the light and dark sides of the Force. Like certain legendary heroes before and after him, Ezra has constantly found himself struggling between the two sides of the Force — and now, with such an emotionally-charged experience in an actual Sith temple, the red in Ezra’s eyes is becoming even clearer.
Regardless of what the future holds, one thing can’t be argued: Ezra has grown at an impressive rate and demonstrated incredible things over the course of his journey so far, and there’s no better time to relive those moments. [Spoiler warning: This list includes moments from “Twilight of the Apprentice.”]

The finale of Star Wars Rebels season two aired Wednesday and it’s almost certainly knocked your socks off. We’ll have much, much more on that Thursday morning but, in the meantime, we have some huge news about season three.
Speaking to io9, Rebels executive producer Dave Filoni revealed that Sabine Wren, the artistic, demolitions expert Mandalorian is going to get a much more prominent role in season three.
“We are going to delve a bit more into things with the Mandalorians and Sabine’s story,” Filoni said. “Sabine’s story will grow greatly in importance in the third season and she kind of comes up to stand next to Ezra as far as being an important player on the show. And isn’t as much a supporting character which I think is a great transition for her as a character.”
One of the best episodes this season was about Sabine’s backstory and seeing more of her next year sounds amazing to us.

Warning: Full spoilers for the Star Wars Rebels: Season 2 finale follow.
One more spoiler warning… if you haven’t seen the Star Wars Rebels: Season 2 finale, beware!
Okay, if you’re still reading this, I’m assuming you did see the massive events in “Twilight of the Apprentice,” as Darth Maul returned, a trio of Inquisitors attacked our heroes and Ahsoka and Vader came face to face at last. [You can read my review of the finale by clicking here.]
After seeing the finale at a screening earlier this week, I spoke to Rebels executive producer and co-creator Dave Filoni for an in-depth conversation about everything that occurred, including a huge question at the end of the episode…
IGN: Let’s start with the ending. I’ll just go there… Ahsoka’s totally alive, right?! That’s her walking away in the cave?
Filoni: Is that what you saw? That’s so interesting. That’s so good. You know I think it says a lot about who you are, which is great. You’re an optimist, and I think that that’s strong, I think that that’s strong. [Laughs] It’s an interpretation. I mean, the thing for me in this moment in time with this story – and I was pretty clear about this from the beginning in that Rebels is not Ahsoka Tano’s story, nor is it Darth Vader’s story, and we worked really hard to bring those characters into the story. But ultimately, I have to service Ezra and Kanan, and the crew of the Ghost. So a lot of that episode is portrayed through their eyes, and especially Ezra’s, as he witnesses this kind of titanic thing happening.
It’s just so easy – especially in that situation – it’s so easy to have Ahsoka and Vader take over the show. And I think evidence of that is that even though they don’t encounter each other until act three, you immediately get the dynamic of what’s going on. I would say that – while I’m not a huge fan of being tremendously ambiguous as far as what happened – I would say that this is the one case where I think it’s alright with Ahsoka to leave things a bit open-ended. You wondered what happened to her before, but you knew she walked away. Now she kind of leaves in a state of conflict. I would just say that there are probably – and I’ll give you this as we go back a ways – there are probably more stories to tell with Ahsoka Tano, but I would not believe that that would happen necessarily on Star Wars Rebels. I’ve been wrong in the past, but I think that she has served the part of the story that she needed to for our characters here. Then we’ll have to see. I do like the character a lot, obviously, and I think that she’s developed her own kind of fan base within the Star Wars universe. So, you know, I think there are still more stories to be told. I think there are stories to be told prior to Rebels with her. I think there are a lot of stories that happen right at the end of Clone Wars that we’re unaware of yet.
