Saw Gerrera is back on Rebels with ‘In the Name of the Rebellion’

Rebels heads back to the Rebellion – and the show’s first look at Yavin – with ‘In the Name of the Rebellion.’ It features the less than joyous return of Saw Gerrera (Forest Whitaker), as seen in the preview clip.


The two-part ‘In the Name of the Rebellion.’ will air on Disney XD Monday, at 9:00pm EDT/PDT, and be available at midnight on the Disney Now app.

Rebels is back Monday with ‘Heroes of Mandalore’

Star Wars Rebels is back Monday, October 16 with the two-parter ‘Heroes of Mandalore.’ The hour-long episode is kicking off the show’s fourth and final season. Here’s the blurb from Lucasfilm:

In this premiere episode, Sabine leads Ezra, Kanan and an army of her fellow Mandalorians back to her homeworld to rescue her father from the clutches of the Empire. When she discovers the Empire has resurrected a devastating weapon, she must decide whether to destroy it or use it herself.

To get you caught up, Lucasfilm has released a short recap of seasons 1-3. All three full seasons are also available on the DisneyNow App, which I believe is accessible to everyone, regardless of whether you have XD or not.

‘Heroes of Mandalore’ will air on Disney XD throughout the day Monday, at 12:30am, 3:00am, 7:30am, 5:30pm and 9pm EDT/PDT.

Rebels S4 to air – mostly – in hour blocks

The fourth and final season of Rebels will air throughout the fall in mostly one-hour blocks. Here’s the 2016 schedule:

  • Monday, 10/16 – “Heroes of Mandalore” Parts 1 & 2
  • Monday, 10/23 – “In the Name of the Rebellion” Parts 1 & 2
  • Monday, 10/30 – “The Occupation” and “Flight of the Defender”
  • Monday, 11/6 – “Kindred” and “Crawler Commandeers”
  • Monday, 11/13 – “Rebel Assault”

Episodes will air at 12:30 a.m., 3:00 a.m., 7:30 a.m., 5:30 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on Disney XD. (This isn’t a huge departure from previous seasons, where anyone with the app could watch the show early. The extended airing times haven’t put a stop to that, either.) Rebels Recon will continue to be posted after the 9:00pm showing.

They’ll return after the hiatus – and The Last Jedi – to finish off the season. The finale is “so secret that only a few people on the production team know how it will end,” Lucasfilm said in the release.
