It looks like Ezra and Kanan are making their way back to Lothal in the new preview for the eighth episode of "Star Wars Rebels" season 3, "An Inside Man."
After airing episode 7 of "Star Wars Rebels" yesterday, LucasFilm released a short preview for the incoming episode "An Inside Man" on the official "Star Wars Rebels" channel on YouTube. Running at half a minute on the video site, viewers get to see Kanan and Ezra fighting off an Imperial blockade in Lothal with the help of a grey-haired individual on a speeder. Though there isn't a lot of information on Ezra and Kanan's new ally, it seems like the help is unexpected as LucasFilm writes that the two have trusted an unlikely comrade to help them get information on a newly created Imperial weapon at a factory in Lothal.
It's likely that the grey-haired man is an old foe from Lothal who may actually turn out to be a Resistance spy or sympathizer later on in the episode. After all, before becoming a Jedi Padawan, Ezra was a street thug in Lothal and may have run into a few mishaps before joining the rebellion.
Commenting on the video, fans express excitement for the episode as they see Ezra return to Lothal. It's been quite some time since the street urchin returned to the planet, and now in season 3 of "Star Wars Rebels," the Padawan is more attuned with the Force.
In the previous episode of "Star Wars Rebels," Ezra displayed his growing prowess as a force wielder and his ability to see Missions through to the end as he and the rest of the Ghost crew decide to assist a few pirates to get an abandoned freighter in space. Though the Padawan has a lot to learn, he has definitely come a long way from who he was back when he was on the streets of Lothal.
