IGN reported today, that we may be seeing major characters from the Star Wars movies make an appearance in Star Wars Rebels. Based on Obi-Wan's inclusion in an image depicting the line up of upcoming Star Wars Rebels toys, it's likely that the Jedi Master may be making an appearance in the series.

Hopes are high that, if this is true, James Arnold Taylor will be reprising his role as the voice of Obi-Wan.

Rebels is meant to be set five years before Episode IV, in which Kenobi tell Luke "I haven't gone by the name of Obi-Wan since... oh, before you were born." This is probably the exaggeration of an old man, given that he was present at Luke's birth as was probably still called Obi-Wan there, but he was hiding from the Empire for years. So just what sort of role, and in what capacity, will he appear on the show?
