The final trailer for the final season of Star Wars: Rebels‘ hammers home the connection between the animated series and the beginning of the Rebellion. The series will return Monday, October 16 (12:30 a.m., 3:00 a.m., 7:30 a.m., 5:30 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. EDT), on Disney XD and the Disney XD App. The final season of Rebels takes place about a year before Rogue One and A New Hope…..Ezra and Kanan’s odds aren’t great, is what I’m saying if you know the Jedi population when those films begin. Read Coming Soon’s full description below. I would say more, but I’m still finishing season three and don’t want to spoil things for myself.
In this final season, the Ghost crew joins the growing Rebel Alliance, struggling to unite against the Galactic Empire. However, when a new Imperial threat arises on Lothal, Ezra leads the crew back to his home world to defeat the oppressive forces of the Empire under the command of cunning Grand Admiral Thrawn. Old friends are reunited and new alliances are forged as the series builds to its epic conclusion.
Star Wars Rebels is created by Emmy Award-winning executive producer Dave Filoni (Star Wars: The Clone Wars), Academy Award nominee Simon Kinberg (X-Men: Days of Future Past) and Emmy nominee Carrie Beck. The Lucasfilm Animation production is executive produced by Filoni and Kinberg, and co-executive produced by Emmy nominee Henry Gilroy.
The returning voice cast includes Freddie Prinze Jr. as Kanan, Vanessa Marshall as Hera, Steve Blum as Zeb, Tiya Sircar as Sabine, Taylor Gray as Ezra, Dee Bradley Baker as Captain Rex, David Oyelowo as Kallus, Forest Whitaker as Saw Gerrera and Lars Mikkelsen as Grand Admiral Thrawn. Warwick Davis joins the cast this season as Rukh, Admiral Thrawn’s deadly assassin.
Before season four premieres, catch all the Star Wars Rebels episodes from season one through season three available anytime on the Disney XD App beginning Thursday, September 28 (12:01 a.m. PDT).
All TV series need to limit themselves to four years. Four years is a perfect length of time for a show. No show ever jumped the shark after just four seasons. There are some exceptions that prove the rule… Mork and Mindy was ruined from the start of the second season, Boston Public turned into a bizarre parody of itself by season 2, and I don’t know what anyone was thinking with Millennium. But in general, four years is enough time to get to know and love a group of characters, there is not enough time for the running gags and character traits to become cliches, and the creators would know they only had four years to complete the character and story arcs, and do what that want to do. It would up the game. Then, go off on a high note. Everyone remembers the characters at their peaks. If it’s a good show, everyone remembers stellar writing and directing, ect.
This needs to be codified as law.

Gotta disagree. There are a lot of shows that thrive after 4, Game of Thrones just one example of a dozen that come to mind. Lots of shows overstay but there are also shows that need more time to tell their story especially now that more are plotting their series. Justified, Breaking Bad, Mad Men, The Americans, the list is huge. My mental acuity now is not.

I hope things are okay in Killing Time land. I wish there was something I could do from across the Internet. Never hesitate to ask though.
