‘Star Wars Rebels’: X-Wing Figthers Will Finally Appear In Season 4

When Star Wars Rebels first premiered, fans got a new glimpse at the iconic galaxy far, far away during a particular time period. The series takes place between the events of Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope. It is the second official animated series that is part of the canon of the entire universe and has since introduced new characters alongside some appearances of classic characters such as Darth Vader, Darth Maul and Lando Calrissian.

Some of the franchise’s most iconic ships have appeared in the show, but fans have yet to see X-Wings appear in animated form. Thankfully, we will finally see the ships take flight in the fourth and final season of this series.

Executive Producer Henry Gilroy announced at Dragon Con that we will finally see X-Wings with our favorite Rebels. As it turned out, the reason why we have yet to see them take flight is because the Rebellion did not have them yet.
