Good Morning America debuted a new look at the Rebels finale, ‘Fire Across the Galaxy,’ this morning.
A familiar face shows up for the Rebels finale
Lucasfilm has confirmed that Darth Vader himself will be showing up for the Rebels season finale, as previously rumored. Of course, the bigger – and more shocking, if it plays out – part of said rumor is still under lock and key, officially.
You get a brief glimpse of him here:
Vader has already appeared on the show once, in holograph form, an extra scene added when ‘Spark of Rebellion’ aired on ABC.
The Rebels season finale, ‘Fire Across the Galaxy,’ will debut Monday, March 2, on Disney XD.
Rebels Recon: ‘Rebel Resolve’
Rebels heads into the finale with ‘Rebel Resolve,’ and Andi chats with Taylor Gray, Freddie Prinze Jr. and Vanessa Marshall about their characters, and Dave Filoni reveals the likely fate of the courier droid. And Pablo answers two questions, including Hera’s exact relation to Cham Syndulla of The Clone Wars.
The second part of the finale will air March 2 on Disney XD – remember it won’t be on the app early.

Two episodes of Rebels left: Finale won’t be on app early
The next episode of Rebels, ‘Rebel Resolve,’ will air on Disney XD on February 23. It’s the first part of the season finale, which concludes with ‘Fire Across the Galaxy’ on March 2… And it won’t be showing up on XD app first, so everyone has to tune in live.
Another clip and more photos under the cut.

Classic, Clone Wars characters to appear on Rebels?
Given that Lucasfilm really wants us to know that Grand Moff Tarkin is on Monday’s episode, ‘Call to Action,’ it’s probably not surprising that we’re hearing rumblings of more ‘special guests’ from The Clone Wars and original trilogy eras.
But first, here’s a clip of Tarkin in ‘Call to Action:’
Last weekend, a voice actor for a popular character who debuted on The Clone Wars revealed that he’s recorded for Rebels. Then a French website listed that a voice actor for an even more popular character would be returning… And Jason Ward at Making Star Wars has heard about three characters for the season 2 premiere – including one who’s already appeared on the show.
Don’t forget, the S2 premiere is due to debut at Celebration Anaheim in April, so a heavy presence of fan-favorites makes a lot of sense…
UPDATE: There is another “in talks” for a season 2 cameo.
But heading for the more immediate appearance, there’s another ‘Call to Action’ clip behind the cut. Continue reading “Classic, Clone Wars characters to appear on Rebels?”
Rebels Recon: Vision of Hope
Tonight’s ‘Vision of Hope’ added a new wrinkle – and a lot of anvils – to Rebels. In the Recon, Joel Aron talks lighting, the crew talks about Gall Trayvis and Pablo answers a question about Lando.
Rebels returns with ‘Vision of Hope’
The next episode of Rebels will air February 2 on Disney XD, or is live now on Watch Disney XD. In the meantime, Lucasfilm has released stills and two clips.
