Star Wars Rebels, which has kicked off its third season, is a series in evolution, both in terms of its characters and a scenario that is growing increasingly more complex as it goes on. It’s a precedent set by the last animated series, Clone Wars, based on the creative desire to have the show grow up with its audience.
Of season three, Lucasfilm describes the set-up as follows: “Having established a secret base on Atollon, the Ghost crew, now led by a more powerful Ezra, strengthens the rebel fleet by acquiring new resources and recruits eager to stand against the Empire. However, the Imperial efforts to eliminate the rebellion are now being led by the coldly analytic Grand Admiral Thrawn, whose strategic, tactical and cultural insights make him a threat unlike any they have faced before.”
In the following exclusive interview, executive producer/director Dave Filoni reflects on the events of last year and previews season three, including the introduction of Thrawn and the ways that the show could connect to Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
