With season 2 of "Star Wars Rebels" over, viewers have turned to what could happen in the upcoming third season of the show. Added to this, Disney XD, which screens episodes of the show, has been providing interesting details about the third season that hint at a character getting a bigger role.

Reporting on the third season of the show, io9 states that Dave Filoni, who works as an executive producer on the show, has indicated that Sabine Wren would have a much more important role to play. Filoni also pointed out that Wren's story will be interlinked with the Mandalorians in the third season. As for the story surrounding Wren, it is going to grow as the season progresses and will become vital as she transforms into a character who stands by Ezra.

With Wren's backstory already featured in an episode in season 2 of "Star Wars Rebels" — which, by the way, received good reception from fans — it is likely that the third season will become more interesting as her role expands. As for the other characters in the show, much speculation has been focused on the fate of Ahsoka Tano who took on Darth Vader in the second season finale.

However, it appears that the ambiguity surrounding the fate of Ahsoka will continue into the third season. Also, the details provided by Filoni regarding this particular aspect hint that they have not yet decided on what to do with the character in the upcoming season, and whether she has died or not. Importantly, he stressed that if Ahsoka survived, they would have to construct a believable scenario around it.

Meanwhile, production has already started for the third season of "Star Wars Rebels," and according to reports and rumors surrounding it, Grand Admiral Thrawn will be making a cameo in it. As for the premiere date of season 3, it is thought that it will happen sometime in the fall of 2016 as the first and second seasons also debuted during the fall of the past two years.
