Star Wars has over four decades worth of material for new shows to be based on.

The Ghost crew was a thorn in Emperor Palpatine's side for four seasons before its inevitable end. Its satisfying conclusion along with answering questions about the fate of some beloved Star Wars fan favorites will always make it a must-watch in the hearts of those whose minds frequently wander to a galaxy far, far away.
10 Return To Mandalore
After watching the Mandalorian bounty hunter Boba Fett take on Luke Skywalker in the original movies, the world of the Mandalorians has always been a favorite for many Star Wars fans. So, it isn't surprising that the season 3 DVD of Star Wars Rebels had a special feature detailing their adventures on the planet. The special feature explains what the Empire has in store for Mandalore and follows Sabine's journey as she tries to unite her people against the forces of the Empire, reconnecting them with their former warrior-state glory.
9 Forest Whitaker Discusses His Role In Bringing Saw Gerrera To Life

8 Dave Filoni Commentary
Dave Filoni is the mastermind behind Star Wars Rebels. Filoni worked with Star Wars creator George Lucas to ensure that Lucas' initial vision was left intact after Disney bought the Star Wars franchise in 2012.
Filoni can only be described as a visionary in his own right, bringing fans the memorable Ahsoka and Vader fight, along with creating the Ghost crew that made their film debut in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker in 2019.
It wouldn't be a Star Wars Rebels blu-ray without hearing from the man himself in an extended feature.

6 How Star Wars Rebels Ties Into Rogue One
Star Wars Rebels is set between Episodes III and IV. It delves into what transpired during the formation of the Rebel Alliance, shining a light on the rebel cause when it was in its infancy. It also nicely fills in the gap that has rarely been touched on even in the Star Wars Expanded Universe. Because of its place in the Star Wars chronology, Star Wars Rebels would be a prequel series to the movie Rogue One and in the season 3 DVD special, we get to see how it ties into Star Wars' first standalone movie.
5 Conclusion of Maul's Story
Fans were first introduced to Darth Maul in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace in 1999. The horned demon looking Sith with the double-bladed lightsaber has captivated the Star Wars fanbase since his first scene over two decades ago.
When Maul was brought back in Cartoon Network's The Clone Wars, another series created by Dave Filoni, it was only fitting that his conclusion be at the end of Star Wars Rebels. The season 3 DVD tracks Obi-Wan Kenobi and his mortal enemy Darth Maul's many encounters, detailing their sordid history in great detail.
4 Season 3 Episode Recaps
One of the great things about the Star Wars Rebels season 3 specials are the recaps of all the episodes from that season.

Each recap discusses the defining moments of the episode, shining a light on new details that fans might not have noticed. Overall, it is one of the finest parts of the DVD, as it helps to answer questions that weren't always visible during the season.
3 Discover How Thrawn Fits Into The Star Wars Universe
Grand Admiral Thrawn proved to be the single greatest foe in Star Wars Rebels history. While he didn't possess the sheer strength of the Inquisitors, his cunning mind and almost incalculable battle strategies almost brought the Ghost crew to its knees. While Thrawn is not a new character to the Star Wars Universe, he is a fan favorite from what is now considered Star Wars Legends. In the special on the DVD titled Thrawn: A Legend Reborn, fans get a chance to learn what makes this villain tick and what the future holds for him.
2 Connects The Clone Wars To Rebels
Probably one of the more engaging things about the DVD is how it details the reasons why so many The Clone Wars characters were brought back during season 3. Characters from the space pirate Hondo Ohnaka to Saw Gerrera all make special appearances throughout the season.
Filoni goes out of his way on the DVD to explain how Star Wars Rebels was always a sequel to The Clone Wars, so it just makes sense to see some of the more popular characters from The Clone Wars popping up in various episodes.
1 Each Disk In The Box Set Holds 50 GB
With 22 episode seasons, it is no wonder that the DVD box set holds over 50 GB worth of Star Wars Rebels goodness. With all the special features in the three-disk box set, it is astounding to consider what is found inside. With each season, the total amount of interviews and special features has only increased. This is the first year that each episode has a recap with the directors, cast, and crew, each telling some little tidbit of information about each episode. All in all, it leaves fans in anticipation for what the season 4 blu-rays will showcase.
