Star Wars Rebels Mid-season 3 Trailer: 4 Huge connections to Rogue One !

Just enjoy this trailer : 

THis is really amazing the quantity of content we see in this trailer. First I will shortly talk about the connections to Rogue One :

1. The search for the Imperial new weapon, the death Star: 
the opening episode featuring Saw Gerrera will be based on Geonosis. Saw on our rebels are trying to understand what the Empire has to done on the planet. They will probably get some first clues of the creation of a super weapon. (see an other related article here)

2. The death troopers: Grand Admiral Thrawn seems to have like Krennic his own guard of these elite troopers.

3. The rebel fleet: we see fregats, transports, Mon Calami crouser. The same fleet that we see in Rogue One. We can still see A wings and Y-wings but still no X-wing yet. Instead the Empire deploys a least one Tie Defender.

4. The birth of the Rebel Alliance: We can see Mon Mothma, General Dodonna, Bail Organa. We can even expect to see a Mon cal (Raddus or Ackbar)
