The countdown is on to the fourth and final season of Star Wars Rebels, and Lucasfilm has unveiled a video that recaps the entire ahead of Monday’s premiere.

The footage runs through the three seasons of the Disney XD series, highlighting the Ghost Crew’s quest to join the rebellion against the Galactic Empire, and touching upon Ezra Bridger’s inner-conflict under the tutelage of Kanan Jarrus, as well as Sabine Wren’s rise as a Mandalorian revolutionist after leaving the Crew.
Also spotlighted are Darth Vader’s showdown with former protege Ahsoka Tano, Darth Maul’s return and eventual death (again!) at the hands of Obi Wan Kenobi, and last but not least, the emergence of Grand Admiral Thrawn, whose aim is to crush the fledgling Rebel Alliance.

Everything comes to a head this final season as the Ghost Crew becomes a key cog within the Rebel Alliance following the brutal battle at Atollon. With a new Imperial threat arising on Lothal, Ezra leads his allies back to his home world to prepare for another assault against Thrawn’s forces.
Debuting in 2014, Star Wars Rebels is set just before the events of 1977’s Star Wars and focuses on the rag-tag crew of the Ghost and the fledgling Rebellion. The series tied up some of the loose threads of its animated predecessor The Clone Wars, reintroducing some fan-favorite characters, and it will now bring the original Star Wars movies full-circle while showing just how big a catalyst Rogue One really was.
Returning Monday on Disney XD, Star Wars Rebels stars Taylor Gray, Freddie Prinze Jr., Vanessa Marshall Tiya Sircar and Steven Blum.
