Star Wars Rebels Returns In February; New Episode Names, Air Dates, & Descriptions Revealed
Star Wars Rebels is starting its last run of episodes next month – and with them come new descriptions of what to expect going forward. Without giving anything away, it’s sounding like there’s going to be a major event that will shift the way the characters will be handled going forward.
First things first: it’s looking like Star Wars Rebels will get back into the habit of releasing a single episode per week, and that new episodes will air on Saturdays. The first one that’s listed with a date says the show will return on February 24. This might not be the official return date (as I’ll explain below), but in any case it certainly does look like there’s a good reason as to why the show’s last midseason finale didn’t feel like a midseason finale.
The next two episodes, as described by Star Wars Underworld, hint at a game-changing event. Everything after here is a potential spoiler, so I would suggest you tread lightly. The episodes are labeled as follows:
Jedi Night: The Ghost crew infiltrates the Imperial headquarters on Lothal to save one of their own. [Airs February 24, 2018.]
DUME: Reeling from a devastating loss, the Ghost crew rallies together to find a new purpose and resolve. [Airs March 3, 2018.]
So between the ominous title of the midseason premiere and the description of the following episode, Kanan Jarrus (or Caleb Dume as he was once known) is probably going to die. If this is the case, then the former was likely at least considered for a potential midseason finale that they ultimately chose to push back until the show’s return. On a more cheery note, it also sounds like we might get off of Lothal again.
At this time, it’s not clear if these episodes precede the other three that have been listed – Allegiance, One Giant Step Ahead, and Call of the Spectre – or if they come afterward. If the latter is true, then the show returns on February 3. But given that the last episode ended with Hera in the Empire’s grasp, it looks like the former case is true. The show will likely end on another two-part finale, so it seems like we now know the names of all of the remaining episodes until then.

Very nervous about that DUME episode discriptor; sounds like everything will change for the Ghost crew after that episode.
We’ll just see what happens when the intermission ends on Febuary 24 continuing on up to the series finale.
Let’s not forget
“The Clone Ahsokas”
“Ahsoka Unleashed”
“Ahsoka Unleashed II”
“Rogue Ahsoka: A Rebels Story”
Heir to Ahsoka
Ahsoka Rising
the Ahsoka Command

Ahsoka of Courage: An Togruta Adventure
Battlefront II: Ahsoka Squad
Tano: A Star Wars Story
Lost Ahsokas
Ahsoka Adventures
Ahsoka: Legacy
Ahsoka: Purge
Knights of the Old Ahsoka?
If Kanan really is about to bite the dust in late February, that would synch up quite nicely with Hera’s subsequent appearance in the ‘Doctor Aphra’ comic in March.
If they kill a single member of the ghost crew I will fall of the chair from happiness. I don’t have high hopes they will because:
1)they didn’t officialy kill Ahsoka
2)noone died in season 3 finale where everyone expected someone to die
3)they didn’t have the guts to kill even minor characters like Sabine’s Mother or brother in season 4 premier
4)So far they didn’t kill a single named rebel character only imperials die(except Jun Sato, but he commited suicide so that doesn’t count)
So if they kill a single one a I wíll be very very surprised. The devastating loss can be easily the the wolf or their ship.
Kanan and Ezra need to be out of the picture because they aren’t part of the Rebellion in any films picking up after ‘Rebels’. Ezra could technically be occupied with something else somewhere else, but the moment Kanan kissed Hera he basically signed his own death warrant.
Hope so, the more perish the better
Keep your bloodlust in check, man. There could be children reading this!
Ok sorry just the show drove me crazy for 2 years with its ,,logic,, so if there is a chance the plot armor will drop I am too eager to see it
I agree, Filoni has a hard time killing people off.
Given how Rebels have shaked out so far, I will believe someone will actually die on the show when I see it. Call me skeptical at best.
I think the dates are fake. There’s been no information from official sources yet.
So this how ends with Ezra going off to become Snoke right????
No he’ll become Benicio Del Toro’s character in Last Jedi, “DJ”.
You fools. Ezra is clearly the fake Luke from new trilogy. The real look will resurface in episode IX.
Kanan will likely die but will ‘force disappear’ so the kids don’t cry. Ezra will get shuffled off to Wild Space or the Unknown Regions with Thrawn in a surprise twist. They will join Thrawn’s translator Eli Vanto who was already sent to the Chiss. This will open up new adventures in the Unknown Regions.
Kanan can’t “force disappear,” he has never learned how to.
Kanan can’t force disappear only the best jedi knew how to force disappear and if Windu, Plo koon and so on didn’t then definetely can’t this poor excuse for a jedi
“the best” that’s not the criteria haha
Where he will eventually become Snoke??
