Star Wars Celebration Europe has come and gone. Now, fans will have to wait until Star Wars Celebration Orlando, in April 2017, for the biggest new reveals from a galaxy far, far away.
This weekend the first trailer for Season 3 of STAR WARS: REBELS debuted and the biggest news was that Grand Admiral Thrawn is being adapted from the Expanded Universe (now called Star Wars Legacy) and into official (Disney) Star Wars canon.
However, some things might have been missed in the trailer so here's seven observations:
Wedge Antilles was originally an Imperial TIE pilot who defects to the Rebel Alliance. Wedge is on the left.

Battle droids will make an appearance. "Roger, roger!"
-----
This ship may look like Dash Rendar's Outrider starship, from the 'Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire' video game, but it's not... kinda.
Via EW:
"Eagle-eyed audience members also spotted a familiar starship in one of the clips — the Outrider, a vehicle piloted by Dash Rendar, a smuggler from the 1996 Shadows of the Empire video game, who also became a popular Expanded Universe/Legends character.
"But Filoni shut that down, too. 'No,' he said, turning to Rebels voice actors Sam Witwer and Tiya Sircar. 'See what I have to deal with? Every little thing.' He confirmed that an Outrider-style ship was dropped into the trailer as an homage, but that Rendar would not be making an appearance. 'It’s a very similar, similar, similar ship,' Filoni said. The designer who created it for the Lucasarts game now works on the show, he said, so she got to reintroduce it in the series."

Grand Admiral Thrawn is quite studious when hit comes to his toughest opponents.
-----
Some kind of mystical power possesses, overtakes or assists Kanan so he can see, although, it's not certain if it's temporary or permanent.
-----
The Darksaber is back and it looks like Sabine will get a chance to wield the ancient lightsaber last seen in STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS.
-----
Could Kanan's blindness somehow connect to the blind warrior monk Chirrut Imwe, played by actor Donnie Yen, in ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY? STAR WARS: REBELS takes place before the events of ROGUE ONE so it's a logical guess to connect these dots even though it is pure speculation.
