This one is pretty much a given.

In the last season, Saw Gerrara made his Rebels debut on the side of the Rebellion, but as we know from Rogue One, at some point he decides to break away and set out on his own. Mon Mothma remarks that Gerrara and his band of insurgents had caused the Alliance a great many of problems, and it seems likely that we will learn why Saw left.

While we know Saw’s methods are considered somewhat extreme, the foundation of his departure could in fact have something to do with his other obsession - the Death Star.

While the Rebels will obviously not learn of the Death Star until Rogue One, Saw has been hot on its heels from the beginning. He was investigating Geonosis where the Death Star was originally being constructed and in Rogue One he was investigating the Empire's interest in kyber crystals on Jedha. The above image even shows Saw standing before a kyber crystal.

What we do know is that Forest Whitaker is back to voice the character. We know that Saw’s right hand man, Two-Tubes, seen in Rogue One, will appear alongside the veteran in Season Four and it has been hinted that the X-Wings will make their appearance in relation to his storyline.

That and Mon Mothma ends up having a rather fiery confrontation with him.

Expect an action-packed arc, with some heated confrontations and a resolution to this incredible character.
