Trailer up for season 4 of Rebels! Lots to note, but probably the most exciting for me is X-WINGS. 
"Rebel Rebel" (Season 4 trailer up)
X-wings, finally!
That jump to hyperspeed through a 'station' .....What a ballsy move.
Yawn.
Or maybe Thrawn.
I still want a Venator.
There needs to be a new cartoon after scarif.
Who says this has to end at Scarif?
Yeah, was there an official source stating the Rebels stop at Season 4? If they didn't say so, it could continue to 5&6 filling in the narrative gaps between the Original Trilogy Episodes.
Just saw news from the panel today...this is the last season of Rebels.

That should tear apart the hyperspeeding ship lol.
Im so tired of the you can hyperspace through anything and around huge gravity wells (planets) thing.

Awww

Right? I thought Interdictors projected grav wells so prevent ships from hyperspacing away. Now in Rogue One, they hyperspace still on the planet. FA Han jumps into an atmosphere on a Star Killer.
Am I wrong in how Interdictors work? Otherwise, why can't a ship hyperspace away while held by a tractor beam?
This moves me way more than the Last Jedi trailer did. Sad to see the show go.

Interdictors now yank hyperspacing ships out of hyperspace - they jump - but then they reappear in the same spot, often smoking and battered (damaged engines?)

To play devil's advocate, what canon source states this?
We base our "gravity wells prevent jumping" on purely EU IIRC. So if Disney says otherwise, we have no ground to call it out as wrong.
What is this?

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Hyperdrive According to this, it's a mass shadow that trigger the ship exiting hyperspace early for safety. This is the canon section.
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Hyperspace Safety protocols prevent ships from going hyper while still within gravitional pull of a planet, but can be turned off. Canon section.
Really sad to see they're stopping it at 4 seasons. I wonder if they'll spawn a new series off from there though? Maybe "Alliance" or something along those lines?
U-Wings and the tanks from Jehtta are also a notable addition that I caught. Should be an exciting season to say the least.
and yet no FAQ on the game for the game.

Okay, its in the Canon section - but does it state what the source of said Canonicity is? #WikiChallenge
(I'd check myself, but my Computer seems to be throwing a fit when I try to go there... Apologies.)
Thrawn shooting at a Defender.... great, so are the Rebels stealing that too?
I'm sad to see the show end. I love stories set in the Galactic Civil War, and Rebels hasn't disappointed at all. What someone could dismiss as just a kiddy show has been pretty riveting.

"The Galactic Empire employed Interdictor cruisers to disable hyperspace capabilities in other vessels, both to pull them from hyperspace and to prevent them from making the jump to it." - novel Tarkin (official canon)
"In fact, starships had safety protocols that prevented hyperdrive engines from firing within the gravitational pull of a planet. Although it was possible to turn those protocols off, such a move was highly dangerous, and any a ship doing so had a high chance of blowing up or falling apart in hyperspace." - http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Adventures_in_Wild_Space:_The_Escape (apparently official canon)
That is how you make a trailer. Episode VIII take note.
So my prediction:
They will defeat Thrawn in an epic battle, with the X-Wings coming in to save the day. And then...
They earn some well-deserved R&R at the lovely planet of Alderaan.

Sure. For wave 15. Sabines Tie Defender

And Saw Gerrera again, too.
Also: Yavin 4, Mon Mothma voiceover, X-Wings, etc.
It makes sense that season 4 is the last season, as it had been pretty heavily implied a few times that the show was only ever going to lead into the events of Rogue One. I believe Filoni had said in an interview that he'd love to do the Battle of Scarif from the Ghost's perspective (it was there, after all - with at least Hera and Chopper alive and well at the time of the movie).
The only question had been whether they were going to get everything they needed done in 4 seasons, or 5. Seems like now we know - it's 4.

Wondered that, myself. Some kind of freighter, by the looks of it? Hopefully not as silly looking as all the other freighters we have seen, so far...
In any case, while - from a story perspective - this trailer definitely impressed me more than the Episode VIII one...from an Armada as a game perspective...not as much.
This shot is about the only thing I see from the trailer that jumps out to me as possible for inclusion in Armada...but it does seem somewhat unlikely. I assume those dome things were some kind of bases, rather than ships, as that would have been the only other possibility I could imagine.
