Hello there
Yes, this will be one of the major question of the Season 3: Who is Fulcrum?
In previous seasons it was Ashoka Tano but we all know what happened to her in "twilight of the Apprentice" (do we really know?). It seems that, even if she is alive, she is gone for now...
So let us assume that the Season 3 FULCRUM is not Ashoka. Who is it ?
Note that Hera explains that there may be several Fulcrum because we learn that it is generic name for spies providing intels to the rebels... so this can make things more complex and we could end up with various sources..
We got the first insight in the Trailer last summer and yesterday in the episode "The Wedge Extraction". Fulcrum informs (with a deformed male voice) that some cadets want to defect from the elite imperial flying academy. For my point of view, this intel must come from someone inside the Empire because cadets do not really have contacts outside the academy.
This article is just the beginning of a list of candidates that will probably increase every episode....
Option 1: Agent Kallus. We have been talking already in the past about him.
First of all we know that he may have some doubts on the way the Empire use the violence to control the populations. He was put in charge of the massacre of the Lasat to make an example of what happened to his team on Onderon. As a consequence Kallus sees why the Rebels are fighting and he respects them for there courage and loyalty to their cause. And most of it he knows the COST OF WAR. (see the episode "The honnorable Ones").
Secondly in the season 3 opening episode we see him being put in a secondary role due to the entrance of Grand Admiral Thrawn. He is also clearly not a fan of Thrawn brutal tactics to destroy the Rebellion with no matter of the civilians casualties. I made an hypothesis that Kallus could also act to help the Rebels in order to fool Thrawn : more details here
Finally, in the episode "The Wedge Extraction", also Governor Price ridicules him in front of cadets. Moreover there is a clear scene in the Episode (I will not spoil that) that indicates some wish to help the rebels.
So il looks like it could be him. But something is not ok .... : it is too easy to understand!. So I am not sure... let see.
Option 2: Scaris (not sure I write is correctly)
He his officer/Instructor on the Skystrike Academy. He looks extremely convinced about the Imperial methods and pushes his cadets to follow orders without discussions (even if they have to shoot unarmed peoples....). But there is one extremely brief shot at the end of the Episode: after the successful extraction of Wedge, he actually SMILES. Why that ? Rebels have escaped, Why should he smiles? ... only if he provided the information as Fulcrum.
He his also in constant contact with the cadets, so he could be able to understand that some wanted to defect from the Empire.
Option 3: Thrawn
I read that on a comment of a video and I found it really good. What if Thrawn himself gives info to the Rebellion and the same to Governor Price and Kallus. This way it can build traps to try to catch the rebels. We should keep in mind this possibility for future episodes.
Well, no answer today! For sure you will have also some other theories. Let me know in the comments. !
May the Force be with you.
