The Ghost crew makes a comeback on the animated TV series from the Star Wars franchise "Star Wars Rebels" with two back-to-back episodes this week. Ezra, Hera, Kanan, Zeb, Sabine, and Chopper return for the fourth season as the Rebellion continues to grow in number, and as Grand Admiral Thrawn and the Empire focus on finally quelling the resistance. The synopsis for an upcoming episode also suggests that Hera is in danger against Grand Admiral Thrawn.

Episode 7 titled "Kindred" will see the rebels meet some seemingly dangerous native creatures after they were tracked back to their hidden base by an odd Imperial agent. The synopsis adds that the creatures are far more than meets the eye. 

The preview for "Kindred," shows the Ghost crew shooting back at their enemies, not knowing the way out of the terrain. Kanan then spots a pack of wolves and trusts that it knows an escape route, explaining to the rest of the crew that the creatures have helped him before. They then proceeded to follow the creatures.

Meanwhile, in episode 8 of season 4 called "Crawler Commandos," the Ghost crew will pirate a mining vehicle mounted with broadcasting devices capable of long-range communication in their desperate attempt to contact rebel command. However, the synopsis reveals that the Empire will arrive to spoil their plans.

The ninth episode, on the other hand, will see Hera lead a brave assault against the forces of Grand Admiral Thrawn. However, the attack will quickly turn into an escape mission when things go awry. 

At the Celebration Orlando, it was announced that the fourth season of "Star Wars Rebels" will be the final season of the series. Fans will have to wait and see until the end of the season to find out of everyone from the Ghost crew makes it out alive.

Episodes 7 and 8 of "Star Wars Rebels" season 4 will air on Monday, Nov. 6, at 9 p.m. EST on Disney XD, while episode 9 will come out on Nov. 13.
