Star Wars Rebels Season 3 Premiere Date Set:
We have a premiere date set for Star Wars Rebels Season 3 and that is, Saturday September 24 at 8:30 p.m ET on Disney XD. The show introduces us to the return of the most sinister Grand Admiral Thrawn and a new character in the Bendu in the one hour premiere in the episode called, "Steps into Shadow." Here is the description of the episode:
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 analytical Grand Admiral Thrawn, whose strategic, tactical, and cultural insights make him a threat unlike any they have faced before.
Here is the new TV spot released today for Season 3:
Star Wars Rebels News from Celebration:
If you aren't excited for Season 3 of Star Wars Rebels after yesterday's panel at Star Wars Celebration, than I'm not sure we could be friends..... just kidding. Anyways Season 3 won't begin until the fall, even though visitors to the panel yesterday saw the first two episodes, we learned so much. First, take a look at the trailer if you haven't seen it yet:
There have been so many questions left unanswered since the Season 2 finale including, "Does Ahsoka survive her battle with Vader?" The beloved character by many Star Wars fans was last seen stumbling into a cave after her fight, which many thought it was to her impending doom. Executive Producer Dave Filoni while not saying it was the last we'd see of Ahsoka, he did say this, "I'm not going to say exactly, though, but you might not have seen the end of Ahsoka Tano." (Big sigh of relief.)
So what else is in store for Season 3 of Rebels, well many of the characters have new looks and Kanan looks like a much wiser now, that he is blind. How about get ready for more Mandalorians as it was revealed that we will go deeper into Sabine's story, who is seen in a clip finally getting her jet pack and in the trailer seen wielding the legendary darksaber. Speaking of the darksaber, the last time we saw it was in the hands of Darth Maul.
Oh yes Maul, after his return in the Season 2 finale, the Old Master looks to continue his battle with Kanan on who will be the master of Ezra, who by the way looks like his training has advanced with whatever he's learned from them both the Jedi and Sith holocrons. He's definitely changed and seems to be darker than the first two seasons.
No, I'm not babbling on for the best part of the trailer. That part is the debut of Grand Admiral Thrawn, the Star Wars Legends character, will be brought in to take care of the Ghost Crew. When I saw Thrawn in the trailer I almost jumped through the roof in excitement. Not to mention seeing a young Wedge Antilles as he defects the Empire and joins the Rebellion. Season 3 certainly has my excitement and I can't wait until the fall for the premiere. Here is the poster for Season 3:

Happy 61st Disneyland:

No I didn't forget. Happy 61st Birthday Disneyland!!!! It seems like just yesterday we were celebrating the 60th. How could we forget Walt's words on opening day at Disneyland 61 years ago today:
“To all who come to this happy place; welcome. Disneyland is your land. Here age relives fond memories of the past...and here youth may savor the challenge and promise of the future. Disneyland is dedicated to the ideals, the dreams and the hard facts that have created America...with the hope that it will be a source of joy and inspiration to all the world.” - Walt Disney
We must not forget after all these years, that Walt brought these parks to exactly what he said in his dedication of Disneyland that it would be a source of joy and inspiration to all the world. To this day that stands true. Of course we can't forget that it was "All Started by a Mouse."
