* As you'd expect from the final trailer, the midseason trailer giving us our first look at the GrandFinale tops [[UpToEleven everything we've seen before]]. Thrawn has ordered a full bombardment of Lothal, Rukh fighting Kanan and Zeb, the return of Wolffe and Gregor, a gigantic loth-wolf with Ezra's eyes that dwarfs the loth-wolves seen before, the return of Ahsoka's convor, a mosaic depicting the Father, the Son, and the Daughter from the Mortis arc lighting up when Ezra touches it, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Kanan gets a haircut]], and Ezra faces off against ''Palpatine himself'' for the fate of Lothal, with Ian [=McDiarmid=] returning to the role.

!As a Moments page, [[Administrivia/SpoilersOff all spoilers are unmarked]]. Administrivia/YouHaveBeenWarned!
* With the release of the final Season 2 trailer, we see [[VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublicIITheSithLords a Sith holocron and temple]], another Inquisitor, the return of Vader, Anakin in a Force vision and holorecording, Yoda showing up in person to some extent, the Empire discovering the Lothal Jedi Temple, at least a couple of Lasats, [[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars Cham Syndulla and another Twi'lek suspected to be Numa]], Zeb and Kallus interaction, [[Film/TheForceAwakens a green crossguard lightsaber]], [[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars Jedi Temple Guards]], Ahsoka vs. Vader, and Darth Maul returning and teaching Ezra.
* "Twilight of the Apprentice" has the return of Maul, who gives the Seventh Sister a [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe brutal death]] and the Fifth Brother an impaling, as well as managing to corrupt Ezra enough that the boy can open a Sith holocron by ''himself'', '''and''' ''[[EyeScream blinding Kanan]]''. And not only that, but we finally get the fight we've all been waiting nearly a decade for; Ahsoka vs. Vader. In the end, it's ambiguous as to whether or not Ahsoka died or once again embarked on a road not taken, but this is the end of her story.
* The Season 3 trailer from Star Wars Celebration Europe 2016, full stop. We get to see the promise of [[DefectorFromDecadence Imperial defectors to the Rebellion]], including ''Wedge Antilles'' with the help of a new Fulcrum, the [[TheGhost first onscreen appearance]] of Governor Pryce, the crew of the ''Ghost'' working with Azmorigan and ''[[EnsembleDarkhorse Hondo Ohnaka]]'', Mandalorians on both sides of the conflict, a creature called the [[MythologyGag Bendu]] voiced by none other than Creator/TomBaker, more Cham Syndulla, Darth Maul training Ezra in the dark side, Nightsister Magik somehow possessing Kanan and using him to fight Maul, Rex, Kanan and Ezra taking on an army of battle droids, Sabine getting a jetpack and the ''flipping'' '''[[ImpossiblyCoolWeapon Darksaber]]''', [[VideoGame/DarkForces Dark Trooper]] droids, what appears to be the ''[[Literature/ShadowsOfTheEmpire Outrider]]'', [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Ezra's new haircut]]... and '''[[MagnificentBastard GRAND.]] [[CanonImmigrant ADMIRAL.]] [[Literature/TheThrawnTrilogy THRAWN.]]'''
** The second Rebel Beat commercial reveals that both ''Ezra and Sabine'' get possessed by the Nightsister Magik, and Ezra finds that the Darksaber was ''kept'' by someone (who may just be using it as some decoration or to pay respects to rather than actually use it) rather than simply lost at some point. And we already know from another teaser that Maul gets possessed as well.
* The midseason trailer for Season 3:
** [[{{Foreshadowing}} As mentioned in the]] [[AllThereInTheManual Visual Guide]] for ''Film/RogueOne'', Mothma and Saw appear as the former has become a public enemy number 1 due to publicly calling out Palpatine (but on the bright side, this means she has more time to focus on personally helping the Rebellion become the Rebel Alliance) and the latter conducting an investigation on Geonosis about the Death Star (and will inevitably be poisoned).
** Thrawn [[AuthorityEqualsAsskicking being surprisingly good at combat]] against [[EliteMooks the Dark Troopers]] from "The Wynkahthu Job", going to Geonosis backed by Death Troopers, as well as implicitly saying he is going after Mothma and the growing Rebel fleet (and he's '''already found Atollon'''... but for some reason, the base is protected by possibly the Bendu's powers); the rebels are too late to stop the production of TIE Defenders.
** We return to Lothal, where it seems we're going to get more CharacterDevelopment from Kallus as time gets closer to his cover being blown, as well as him going to [[TheBusCameBack Ezra's tower]] seemingly alone for an unknown reason.
** Zeb (who is finally using his bo-rifle in staff mode again), Chopper, and AP teaming up to fight the Warhead; a possible Yularen appearance; the return of Wedge; Sabine gaining more devices and becoming more skilled (with the help of Kanan and Rau) so that she can rally her people with the Darksaber, eventually gaining the support of a splinter group possibly led by her mother, as well as somehow ''losing'' the Darksaber to Saxon but taking up Kanan's saber to fight him, and of course, Ezra and Chopper journeying to Tatooine, where '''Maul and Obi-Wan finally face off'''.
* The last scene of "Twin Suns": Obi-Wan watching the Lars homestead from a distance, and Beru is heard calling for Luke -- and then we see him, from a distance, running home. It's not an action scene, but with who's in it and where it takes place, it most definitely qualifies.
* "Zero Hour". Sato, Konstantine, and the ''Phoenix Home/Nest'' die; Kallus and Thrawn engage in single combat, and the former loses and is tortured by him and Death Troopers as well as [[NiceJobBreakingItHero his cover as Fulcrum leading to the campaign on Chopper Base]]; the Bendu turns against Kanan and the rebels, flies into the sky and controls a ''thunderstorm'' that creams Thrawn's forces, is ''shot down'' by Thrawn, and foretells the grand admiral's defeat before vanishing. [[SequelHook Oh, and Clan Wren is in the middle of a Mandalorian civil war, and the survivors of Chopper Base are now joining up with the rebels at Yavin]].]
** By the way, the Season 4 teaser in Rebels Recon showed the helmets of Clan Wren, a Nite Owl, and a Protector, lying around like it's a makeshift graveyard or a pile of skulls in a post-apocalyptic wasteland
* The revelations at Star Wars Celebration 2017 that Warwick Davis is voicing Rukh, Thrawn's bodyguard (and later his assassin) from Franchise/StarWarsLegends. Soon followed by Filoni breaking the news that the fourth season will be the last. And ''then'' the trailer, with Hera's narration hinting at an ominous end to the Rebels' story, Ezra riding a huge wolf with an unconscious Sabine, the new base on Yavin 4, explosions, [[ShipTease Hera and Kanan looking as if they're about to kiss,]] Saw Gerrera, Bo Katan, Hera entering hyperspace ''through an Imperial hangar bay,'' [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Kallus' new look]], epic battles, Hera in X-Wing gear, Bo Katan ''wielding the Darksaber,'' and the implication from Kanan's narration that he and Ezra might not survive.
** The September trailer showed Lothal taking a toll from the Empire's environmental abuse and being further ravaged by the battle between the Alliance & the Empire there (with a shot of the ''Ghost'' crew watching what appears to be missiles falling towards Capital City), Hera leading X-Wings against the Lothal blockade and [[GoodOldFisticuffs personally fighting Rukh]], growing tensions between Saw and Mothma, members of Clan Wren being ''disintegrated'' by what is likely Sabine's superweapon on a chicken walker, Bo-Katan and her Nite Owls turning against Sabine and co. due to losing faith, numerous Mandalorian clans (including one that bears a similar palette to Boba's own armor) bowing to Bo-Katan wielding the Darksaber, Tarkin telling Thrawn that his TIE Defender project is at odds against [[Film/RogueOne Krennic's "Stardust" project]], the return of the [[ChekhovsGunman white lothcat]] atop the white lothwolf and a CerebusRetcon of the eeny-meeny-miney-mo poem from Season 1, Ezra meeting a pack of lothwolves and [[InnocuouslyImportantEpisode his eyes looking like hyperspace like they did with the purrgil]], [[WillTheyOrWontThey Kanan and Hera finally coming to terms about their relationship]], and Ezra [[CallBack calling back]] to what Yoda said about how they choose to fight; [[WhamLine maybe they're choosing the wrong way.]]
* As you'd expect from the final trailer, the midseason trailer giving us our first look at the GrandFinale tops [[UpToEleven everything we've seen before]]. Thrawn has ordered a full bombardment of Lothal, Rukh fighting Kanan and Zeb, the return of Wolffe and Gregor, a gigantic loth-wolf with Ezra's eyes that dwarfs the loth-wolves seen before, the return of Ahsoka's convor, a mosaic depicting the Father, the Son, and the Daughter from the Mortis arc lighting up when Ezra touches it, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Kanan gets a haircut]], and Ezra faces off against ''Palpatine himself'' for the fate of Lothal, with Ian [=McDiarmid=] returning to the role.
* All of "[[WhamEpisode The World Between Worlds]]". All of it.
** Ezra activating the mural of the Father, Daughter, and Son of Mortis to open the Lothal temple, whereupon he finds himself in a vast empty field filled with stars, like his [[CallBack vision of Yoda from the first season]], where, as he's walking through, hears the voices of characters from the past, present and future in '''''[[ArcWelding EVERY]]''''' canon installment since the Disney buyout and beforehand, including all the main saga movies, ''Film/RogueOne'', and ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars The Clone Wars]]''. Awe-inspiring is the only word to describe it.
** A subtle part of the above: right as Ezra flies through the portal ringed with [[ArcSymbol running lothwolves]], if you look through the portal behind him at the right moment, for a [[FreezeFrameBonus split second]], you can see the silhouettes of his parents.
** Ezra pulling Ahsoka through space and time to save her from the Malachor explosion. That's right, the power of the Force can now be canonically used to '''TIME TRAVEL''' and change the future.
* Ezra's plan to summon a massive pod of Purrgil to wipe out the blockade surrounding Lothal was something NO ONE saw coming.
