We've known for a few days that Rogue One: A Star Wars Story character Saw Gerrera is coming to Star Wars Rebels (a series set years before the events of that movie and A New Hope), but a new featurette has surfaced today which gives us a first look at the younger Rebel and confirms that Forest Whitaker will reprise the role. That's definitely a surprise, but something fans will no doubt greatly appreciate.

For now, he's set to appear in a two-parter titled "Ghosts of Geonosis."
