'Star Wars Rebels' season 3 air date, news, and updates: Promo released for next episode called, 'Iron Squadron'

The third season of "Star Wars Rebels" is kicking in, and the show is already six episodes in. The next episode titled "Iron Squadron," and a new promo clip that has been released for the episode focuses on Grand Admiral Thrawn and it looks like the show is going to finally show just how good he is with battle tactics.

The clip is titled "Thrawn's Next Move" and it has Thrawn receiving a report that a group of rebels called the Iron Squadron is causing trouble for the Imperials in a certain area. Thrawn was also told that the rebels have been getting help from the crew of the Ghost, which Thrawn has slowly been familiarizing with.

Thrawn then asks Admiral Constantine to personally lock down the system that the Iron Squadron has been protecting — much to confusion of Constantine, who is a high-ranking official.

In the Legends universe, Thrawn is considered as one of the more memorable villains. Besides Vader who solves all of his problems with fear and violence, Thrawn has a more empathetic approach, and seeks to understand the culture and history of the enemy in order to predict their next move.

As of now, fans think that Thrawn has not fully unleashed his ability as a genius tactician with him constantly allowing the rebels to escape, but it may just be a part of a much grander plan that could unfold in the upcoming episode.

The synopsis for "Iron Squadron" says: "Ezra and Sabine join forces to subdue a young pilot ace and his crew, who are foolishly risking their lives. That is the only way they can defend their home."

"Star Wars Rebels" season 3 is currently ongoing, and the next episode, "Iron Squadron," is expected to come out on Sat., Nov. 19, at 8:30 p.m. EST on Disney XD.
