* [[spoiler: Darth Maul.]] That is all. And he's being voiced by ''SamWitwer''.

* The announcement of a new series taking ''The Clone Wars'' place had some worried, but then it was revealed Dave Filoni would still be involved in this series.
** Then, the name of the series, ''Star Wars: Rebels'', was revealed, and that it would take place in the time frame between ''Revenge of the Sith'' and ''A New Hope''. With Dave Filoni, Kilian Plunkett and other parts of the TCW team involved, this also leaves a huge chance for it to tie up some of the loose ends that were left when ''The Clone Wars'' was canceled.
** Creator/GregWeisman is also working on it.
** Three words: [[http://www.thesonicsaber.com/2014/10/watch-darth-vaders-cameo-in-star-wars.html Darth Vader cameo]]. With '''''James Earl Jones''''' returning as the voice.
*** [[spoiler:He's going to be in the second season as the main villain, with James Earl Jones still using the voice]].
** And now '''Frank Oz''' is [[http://www.ramascreen.com/frank-oz-returns-to-voice-disembodied-yoda-in-star-wars-rebels/ returning as Yoda]].
** [[spoiler:Ahsoka's reappearance in the Season 1 finale.]]
** The season 2 trailer gives us [[spoiler:Captain Rex, Commander Wolffe, the return of Hondo and Gregor, and Darth Vader being a complete badass.]]
** The midseason trailer for season 2 gives us even more: [[spoiler:Yoda, other Lasats, Cham Syndulla, more Darth Vader action, ancient Jedi and Sith architecture , the reveal that Darth Maul is alive (and seeks Ezra as an apprentice), and Ahsoka and Vader crossing blades.]]
** As of the season 3 trailer, [[spoiler:THRAWN has returned to canon and will be challenging the Rebels in future]]. The fandom '''exploded'''.

* The apperance of Black Sun saves it in canon.
* When the show was cancelled, fans were afraid that the fate of the original characters from The Clone Wars would be left hanging in favor of focusing on [[WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels Rebels]]. In the season 2 trailer, 4 words silenced all those fears: "My name is Rex."
* And who should show up in the trailer for the second half of the same season but [[spoiler: '''DARTH MAUL!!''']]
* The press revealing that [[spoiler:Saw Gerrera]] will be in a supporting role in ''Film/RogueOne'', the first animated character to make the jump to live-action. Bonus points for the fact that in the weeks leading up to the reveal, many people had mixed feelings on ''Rogue One'' due to the announced reshoots, which had ''many'' contradicting explanations, not to mention the fact that very little news about the movie itself came during those weeks. The reveal of [[spoiler:Gerrera]], as well as more background info on the other Rebels and Imperials, outright silenced those fears.
* In the trailer for Season 3 at the Star Wars Celebration Europe 2016, it is confirmed that '''GRAND ADMIRAL THRAWN''' will indeed be (one) of the main villains for the season. [[spoiler: Also, Sabine gets a jetpack ''and the Dark Saber,'' Tom Baker is voicing the Bendu that Kanan encounters, and Maul takes the Ghost Crew hostage in order to force Ezra to become his apprentice, and ''shoves Kanan out of an airlock.'']]
* A week before the Season 3 premiere of ''Rebels'' Katie Sackhoff confirmed that she is returning as Bo-Katan.
* A trailer for the mid-season premiere of Rebels' third season shows [[spoiler:Obi-Wan vs. Darth Maul.]] It's the rematch of the century folks.
