Pablo’s Rebels panel isn’t until tomorrow afternoon, but Entertainment Weekly has some Soviet-style Imperial propaganda art to tide you over. Or there’s always this hint from @StarWars:
"R2-D2 where are you?" #NYCC #StarWarsRebels #hints

Could the Captain of the Ghost be one of many captains c-3p0 and r2 had over the years before ANH?
It wouldn’t be too hard to imagine them being in the show in some way
I was thinking it could be Captain Antilles, but I found this at Wookiepedia:
Over the next nineteen years, Raymus Antilles continued to command the Tantive IV, but was separated from C-3PO and R2-D2 until almost immediately before 0 BBY.
R2-D2? Set before Episode IV? I’m calling it! Rebels is the code name for Droids 2: The Return of the Great Heep. We all knew this was coming one day. Hopefully we’ll get a Holiday Special tie-in also…
