Can't wait! I appreciate that both trailers for this season stay away from the big "oh shit" moment- Ahsoka vs Vader, the reveal of Thrawn, Obi-Wan, etc- and are more focused on selling the emotion of the season.
Also wtf is going on with these wolves. There's obviously some importance, I just can't connect the dots on what it is.

Severe lack of Rex in that Trailer

Did Dave Filoni confirm that he's working on more SW stuff after this?
Yep, another animated show I think

I can't wait to see how they're kill of Wren, and turn Erza into Snoke, the founder of Knights of (w)ren
Hm, I'm curious of what time period they'll tackle next.

Hera's confirmed to survive, as is Chopper.
Everybody else? Less certain. Can't wait though!

Fuck Rouge One for taking the "everyone dies" downer ending we need from us.

It's an animated show primarily aimed at kids.
It's a good trailer. Not quite as exciting as Season 3's but I hope it ends strongly.
Kanan and Hera seeming to get more serious about a potential relationship that up to this point has only really been subtext is unexpected, but not entirely unwelcome.
Can someone explain to me why Bo Katan literally doesn't seem to have aged a day since Clone Wars? It's really distracting.
Also, why does the Star Wars franchise seem to have such an ongoing infatuation with Mandalore? It feels like that planet and its culture turns up ad-naseum in pretty much everything Star Wars related. As someone who's never been particularly interested in Mandalorian stuff since the Knights of the Old Republic games, I feel like its become really boring.
100,000 galactic credits that it'll be a show detailing Luke, Han and Leia's adventures in a post-Return of the Jedi galaxy.

I'm going to guess between ROTJ and TFA or between TFA and TLJ, edit thinking about it probably not last one
Why does every keep saying this? Not the first time I have seen this.

Final season is the perfect time to go dark considering the era.

Broadly, Mandalore has been popular with sections of the fandom for ages, as they represented a substantial 'third' faction in the standard Jedi-Sith/Republic-Empire dichotomy, particularly after Knights of the Old Republic.
In current canon, it's mostly because Mandalore got a lot of focus in the Clone Wars cartoon thanks to being led by Obi-Wan's love interest, and the planet/culture provide an easy template for exploring the impact of the Empire in the aftermath of the Clone Wars, as well as how a culture might be then made to align with the Rebellion instead, instead of having to create another to serve the same purpose. Additional benefits of having pre-existing material in the form of the Darksaber to provide a handwave for how one of our plucky young heroes can actually have enough clout to inspire such a defection.
I don't think there's actually that much beyond the animated series, mind, but it is a heavily a focus in said animated series.

Clone Wars was generally a lot darker than Rebels. It also wasn't on Disney XD.So was CWs....

Yea CN is genuinely way more lax about the content of their shows. CN was genuinely their most violent show ever. Just feels like Rebels is a bit of a missed opportunity with how "light" it is considering it's the height of the empire.

Maybe I'm too optimistic here, but after reading his novel I feel like there's no way they can kill off Thrawn. There's simply too much of his story hinted at in that book left to tell.
But who knows. Call me crazy.

Nah, I think you're right. I'd be very surprised if he's killed off in this.

Hera and Chopper make it to Rogue One's final battle.
And they joke about Rex at the Battle of Endor

They dumped a lot of money in those 3 last episodes, the production skyrocketed.
That Osaka/Vader fight scene in Rebels was pretty awesome as well.

A kid, who had been kidnapped dropped on a forest planet and hunted for sport.
CW could get dark as hell.

Despite the show being pretty meh for me so far, I hope it ends strong.
NO clappyclap MORE clappyclap FILLER clappyclap EPISODES
Also, I hope for once, the tone of the trailer is reflective of what the show will be.
Visually speaking, this was probably the darkest thing they showed.

But lets be honest, it will still be super light hearted with 80% of the episodes being shitty filler ones.

Season 2 with Vader was the highlight of the show. I wish Maul didn't come back for no reason, and Thrawn has been horribly underutilized, and even Kanan's loss of vision has been hugely downplayed... but every scene with Vader had weight, a sense of loss, and tragedy. The show was missing that in S3, especially the finale.
I'm glad Thrawn is returning, since he's fully established as a tactical and perceptive leader. Hopefully, they'll capitalize on his skills and really pressure the early rebellion.
The events of Rogue One are listed in the original Star Wars movie as the Rebellion's first victory against the Empire, so I'd really like to see this show's final season push the element of desperation among those fighting on the losing side.

Filoni confirmed that you won't see the rogue one events in their perspective.

I only hope Thrawn survives this season. He is a great character that shouldn't be killed off so fast.
Aw. But then why namedrop "Stardust" and Krennic? I know the Rebels can't find out about the Death Star until Rogue One, but it would be nice to see what the Ghost crew are up to at that time.
Who knows? Maybe they were building up to the Rogue One event before Disney informed them they had to wrap the show by the fourth season.

Almost certainly the new trilogy period. By the time the next series is ready to air we'll probably already have ep 9 out or at least very nearly. They will definitely at least know exactly where the story goes in time to account for it.
Or the time period between Ep 6 and 7.

Why do you think CN shoved it to 7AM where no one was watching?
I actually wish we could have more clone wars but you know focused on all those other Jedi and Clones that only got one episode.
If anything, I'm hoping all this was just to build him up for the next series. Guy is waaaay too big of a deal to the old EU to go out like this.
$10 says animated show between ROTJ and TFA
With Thrawn as the central villain.
Oh, and Ashoka will probably turn up in some capacity, again.
