"Star Wars Rebels" will again be in a week-long reprieve as its next episode will air on Nov. 19, but Disney XD and Lucasfilm already released a sneak peek of the animated series. In "Star Wars Rebels" Season 3 Episode 8 titled "Iron Squadron," the rebels will be facing their formidable enemy from the Empire, Grand Admiral Thrawn, as he comes back in the coming episode.
Coming Soon reports that the Ghost crew will be establishing a secret base in Atollon, and there, the troop of rebels will be replenishing their resources as they plan to clash the Empire. Now led by Ezra, the Imperial Mandalorians have become harder to topple as they leveled up, thanks to their strategic and tactical leader, Grand Admiral Thrawn.
Ezra, Sabine and the rest of the Ghost crew will help a group of insurgents called Iron Squadron defeat a troop of Imperial fighters and this, unfortunately, has been found out by Grand Admiral Thrawn. The Mandalorian master then devises a plot against both forces of Iron Squadron and Ghost crew by reportedly sending the commander's vessel as a bait, based on the preview released.
The speculated plan of Thrawn will yet be proved until "Star Wars Rebel" Season 3 Episode 8 airs, given that the Imperial leader has been extremely unpredictable. As Dork Side of the Force notes, Grand Admiral Thrawn has a penchant for playing long games in defeating rebels like Ezra and Sabine.
Further, "Star Wars Rebels" Season 3 Episode 8 will give a glimpse of Han Solo's spacecraft. According to Melty, the ship featured in the next "Star Wars Rebels" episode resembles Millenium Falcon, specifically the YT-2400 Freighter.
As previously reported by Parent Herald, "Star Wars Rebels" took a break during the Halloween season and came back on Nov. 5 with an episode titled "Imperial Supercommandos." In "Star Wars Rebels" Season 3 Episode 7, Ezra and Sabine were pinned down by a force of Imperial Mandalorians.
"Star Wars Rebels" Season 3 airs every Thursday, 8:30 p.m. ET/PT on Disney XD. Take a look at the sneak peek released for the next episode.
