Star Wars Rebels Season Three set five years before A New Hope follows the Ghost crew as they build up a unified rebel fleet on Atollon, facing a brilliant new tactical threat in the coldly analytical Grand Admiral Thrawn.
Major Plot Arcs and Synopsis
Ezra's Leadership & Temptation: A more powerful, mature-looking Ezra Bridger steps up as a leader after a blinded Kanan Jarrus steps back. However, Ezra briefly flirts with the dark side by consulting a dangerous Sith Holocron. Kanan overcomes his blindness with the help of the neutral entity Bendu to guide Ezra back.
The Threat of Thrawn: Grand Admiral Thrawn takes command of the Imperial Seventh Fleet, opting to study the rebels' culture and art to slowly dismantle them rather than crushing them immediately.
Sabine and the Darksaber: Sabine Wren confronts her Mandalorian heritage, recovers the legendary Darksaber, and works to unite her people against the Empire.
Maul's Final Quest: Maul returns to manipulate Ezra into combining the Jedi and Sith holocrons, leading to a vision of twin suns and Maul tracking down Obi-Wan Kenobi on Tatooine for their final confrontation.
Zero Hour Finale: Thrawn launches a devastating, calculated assault on the Atollon rebel base, culminating in a fierce battle where the rebels suffer heavy losses before narrowly escaping.
