"Star Wars Rebel" season 2 ended on a high note and so a lot of fans are dying to learn what's in store for the third installment. Although Disney XD has not revealed the exact premiere date of the 3D CGI-animated series, there are reports that suggest a fall release.

The second season ended with the characters being whitewashed by the dark forces. Ahsoka disappeared and Kana became blind. Ezra, on the other hand, fell into the trap of joining the dark side, while Anakin transitioned into Darth Vader.

The creators of the animated series promise the third installment to be filled with "adventure, hope, and the battle between good and evil." It will feature a much heavier story arc without eliminating the same elements that give the series its own identity.

Disney XD senior vice president and general manager of Programming Marc Buhaj said in a statement on the "Star Wars" blog: "We are proud to bring our audience a third season of Star Wars Rebels, a series that has resonated across generations. The creative team behind the series continues to do a brilliant job in delivering on the key tenets that fans have come to expect from a 'Star Wars' property."

Meanwhile, Lucasfilm SVP of Development Kiri Hart revealed that season 3 will be a tale of the rebel heroes facing new challenges and finding new allies as part of their battle against the Empire.

The upcoming third chapter of the series also promises to feature Grand Admiral Thrawn of "Thrawn Trilogy." His rumored appearance as an Imperial officer could be the largest cameo role of the series.

In an interview with IGN, executive producer Dave Filoni also shared that "there are probably more stories to tell with Ahsoka Tano." However, he believes it is not necessary to happen on "Star War Rebels."
