Star Wars Rebels: Two Episodes Get Names, Series Return Date Confirmed.
Names and dates for the first four episodes of the second half of Season 3 have arrived. Thus far, no week-long hiatuses between episodes appear to be in sight.
From Jedi-Bibliothek:
3 × 13: “Warhead” – USA: January 14, 2017
3 x 14: “Trials of the Darksaber” – USA: January 21, 2017
No synopses were given for either of these episodes. If the release schedule is consistent with the second half of Season 2, then it is likely that there will be only one or two hiatuses before Season 3 comes to a close. Some of this depends on whether or not Season 3 will end with a double-length episode, and it may be entirely possible that there will be no hiatuses at all – but based on the precedent set by Seasons 1 and 2, expect things to wrap up in March.
I neglected to mention this in the previous article, but Rebels will be returning on January 7 – only four weeks after last Saturday’s episode. Both parts of “Ghosts of Geonosis” will be airing on that date (you can read the synopsis for these two episodes here). With all that in mind, we should probably get a trailer summarizing what’s yet to come for the Ghost crew before December ends.

When he’s not hard at work with his college studies, he keeps himself busy by reporting on all kinds of Star Wars news for SWNN and general movie news on the sister site, Movie News Net. He served as a frequent commentator on SWNN’s The Resistance Broadcast.
I bet Thrawn lets the Rebels go again because he is so smart and ahead of the game. That never gets old.
I am a smart tactician! I can destroy my enemy right now OR I can let them go so I can destroy them later, but what IF I let them go again so they won’t see it coming and then destroy them! ORRRRR (continues till head explodes)
THRAWN IS A GREAT TACTICIAN!
If Thrawn continues to show no results Tarkin is going to lose his patience and kick his ass eventually.
He doesn’t do anything, and it’s called tact.
I call it lazy writing.
BUT THAT’S JUST ME.
so… how many episodes in total are there in season 3?
22, same as Season 2.
Thanks.
It’s time they kill Kanan and let Ezra struggle on his own. Not technically a Jedi…so it kind of syncs up with Episode 4. Also, they need to really study Rogue One and how the Empire is portrayed there and the Rebels too.
Does anybody know if Rebels is going to be extended for Season 4? Because as of now, it doens’t feel anywhere close to being near the end of a story.
The plan is apparently six seasons, maybe more. They’ll keep going with the show because it allows them to expand the Star Wars brand beyond the movies.

Already confirmed. Season 4 is already mostly done and they are probably going to start working on 5 soon.
