Rebels headed to Ryloth in ‘Homecoming.’ Andi talks to Dave Filoni, Pablo Hidalgo, Freddie Prinze Jr. and Cat Taber.
Also, some interesting insight on how the Story Group has changed things behind the scenes from Pablo:
The weird time warp we work in: the #StarWarsRebels episode you're watching tonight affected a book that came out in Apr 2015.

Back in the old days, that novel would have gone to print before someone pointed out, "hey, we're doing a Cham episode."

Well, not true. That's probably an exaggeration. But it would have been ugly.

Cham in “Lords of the Sith” to me was rather like reading the Archer in “Cardinal of the Kremlin” (where in retrospect I’m forced to root for the Soviets in that scenario.) I couldn’t root for him (first impression here, artifact of history marching on with “Cardinal”) but it made complete sense for the setting.
