"Star Wars Rebels" season 2: Fresh episodes this fall

 Disney

The first episode of "Star Wars Rebels" season 2, entitled "The Siege of Lothal" premiered on June 20 of this year, running for one hour straight, and it seemed that it was the only episode fans got to watch.

However, it's great news for the viewers because it was reported that the animated TV series will return for a full season this coming fall.

In the first episode, it featured Darth Vader going after the ghost crew.

Star Wars fans got to see the powers from the Sith Lord when he battled the ghost crew members Kanan, Sabine, Ezra, Zeb, and Hera all by himself with the help of one lightsaber, according to IBTimes UK.

In a review from Rotoscopers, "The Siege of Lothal" was considered as one of the best episodes from the series since season one.

Ashsoka Tano's story remains to be a complete mystery; but in the episode, she made a comeback with Vader recognizing her, which made the story more interesting.

The next episode of "Star Wars Rebels" season 2 will be titled "The Lost Commanders," according to IBTimes UK.

The new episode will reportedly feature clone troopers from "Star Wars: The Clone Wars."

The news report also mentioned some of the things that viewers could expect from the new episodes.

For instance, Ezra's backstory will be given highlight in the upcoming season. Ezra Bridger became one of the rebels and trained as a Jedi under the supervision of Kanan Jarrus.

However, stories of what happened to Ezra's parents were not mentioned.

The next episodes might also showcase a battle between the fan favorite Ahsoka and Darth Vader.

It will also be expected that rebel groups will rise. The ghost crew's mission is to defeat the Empire and lead a rebellion in the galaxy as much as possible.

However, in the real world of Star Wars, there exist several other rebel groups and the future episodes might bring them all together to unite and fight against the Empire.
