No stranger to the Star Wars universe, Seth Green will be voicing a Trandoshan character (Captain Seevo), in the next episode of Star Wars Rebels! The official synopsis of the episode is as follows – “Desperate to contact Rebel command, the Ghost crew pirates a mining vehicle with long range communications gear, but the Empire arrives to spoil their plans.” It seems our Rebels crew hasn’t made it off Lothal after the events of Monday’s episodes.
When you’re in trouble and need to contact Rebel command, you might have to resort to desperate measures. That’s what Kanan, Sabine, Ezra, and Zeb have to do in next Monday’s Star Wars Rebels. They pirate/borrow—if you want to use a friendlier term—a mining guild crawler with long range communications gear in order to get in touch with Hera, presumably so she can save their skins. Nerdist is happy to announce that Seth Green will be making his Star Wars Rebels debut as the Trandoshan in charge of that crawler, Captain Seevo.
This is not Green’s first foray into the galaxy far far away. He has previously voiced Pantoran Ion Papanoida and Todo 360 in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, as well as a various characters in the canceled before released television series Star Wars Detours.

We are just a few short weeks away from the beginning of the end for our Rebels crew. Star Wars Rebels season 4 begins October 16, and the fine folks at StarWars.com have given us our first look at a teaser poster for the season.
From the look of the poster it seems that Thrawn and Governor Pryce will be the main protagonists of this season, but there is also a weird wolf looking thing in between them. What kind of menace could he pose for our Rebels? I guess we will find out soon!
It’s almost here. Star Wars Rebels returns for its fourth and final season on October 16 on Disney XD, and we can’t wait. Lucasfilm and Disney released today the official key art for the season — a stunning image featuring the Ghost crew, Thrawn, and more.

About Star Wars Rebels:
With the Rebellion now fully organized and supplied with starships and soldiers, the Empire calls upon one of their top naval officers—only known to the public as Fall—to suppress the freedom fighters once and for all.
Meanwhile Ezra—a Jedi Padawan—faces a challenge that would determine his allegiance to either the Light.. or the Dark, and the bonds he holds with the Ghost crew are tested through a series of obstacles of both light and dark side origins.

Star Wars Rebels has managed to bring back some of the saga’s most beloved actors to reprise their roles in animation form. Forrest Whitaker has returned to voice Saw Gerrera, Billy Dee Williams reprised his role as Lando Calrissian and, of course James Earl Jones returned to voice the Dark Lord of the Sith himself, Darth Vader. Well, if recent rumors are to be believed then another beloved actor is set to return to a galaxy far far away.
Star Wars News Net has reported that Ian McDiarmid is set to reprise his role as Emperor Palpatine in Season 4 of Rebels. Palpatine has been featured in Rebels before, but he was voiced by Darth Maul voice actor Sam Witwer.
Ian McDiarmid has supposedly been doing some voice work at the same place and time that another Star Wars veteran, Warwick Davis, has been recording. Davis is set to play Rukh in the upcoming season 4, so with that in mind it seems extremely plausible that Ian McDiarmid could be voicing the Emperor.
It would make sense for Palpatine to return in the final season of Star Wars Rebels due to it obviously being set during the height of Imperial rule. Perhaps he personally takes an interest in attempting to put a stop to the Ghost crew himself as they have become a rather large thorn in the side of the Empire.
If these rumors are true then Season 4 of Rebels could be the best yet.
About Star Wars Rebels:

During the Star Wars Rebels panel at Star Wars Celebration Orlando 2017, we learned many things about season 4 that will probably leave us very sad, including the closure of the series. During the panel, Dave Filoni revealed that the final season will play out like one long story arc that will be filled with dark plot points. Now news is making the rounds that Star Wars Rebels season 4 will only be 16 episodes long.
The news wasn’t released in full via official press release, but was only released to a few select outlets. According to Lucasfilm’s Tracy Cannobbio it is officially 16 episodes long, with a few two-part episodes.
How does this affect your thoughts about the final season of Star Wars Rebels? Did you want more? Or is a tighter 16 episode story better? As always, leave your thoughts in the appropriate place.

During the Star Wars Rebels panel at Star Wars Celebration Orlando 2017, several bombshells were dropped about the upcoming season 4. The first was the Star Wars Rebels Season 4 Trailer, which you can see below. In it we see Ezra with a modified Scout Trooper helmet, custom painted by Sabine, Sabine and Ezra riding some sort of huge wolf, Hera and Kanan sharing a tender moment, Thrawn, U-Wings, X-Wings, and more!
Warwick Davis was also announced as a new cast member for season 4. The actor will be playing the character of Rukh. Heir to the Empire find will remember this as one of Thrawn’s bodyguards. In the Legends canon, Ruhk was a deadly and stealthy warrior, and was often at Thrawn’s side while the Grand Admiral waged his military campaign against the New Republic.
Ruhk voiced by Warwick Davis
The last bit of news is more of a sad note. Dave Filoni announced that season 4 would be the last season of Star Wars Rebels. He reiterated that this doesn’t mean an end to Star Wars animation, just an end for this series. He went on to indicate that this final season would be darker and more exciting that those coming before.
