Upon the announcement of the titles, fans began speculating on how the new episodes could play out. With that, a Reddit user recently pointed out that one of the episode titles for "Star Wars Rebels" season 3 teased a connection with the new film "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story."
For the "Star Wars Rebels" season 3 episode 10, which is rumored to be the midseason premiere of the series, the title read "Ghost of Geonosis."

"Star Wars Rebels" season 3 episode 10 is not slated to release until the first week of January, which means that the references could be made for those who plan to watch "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" when it comes out.
"Star Wars Rebels" Season 3 Connections Are Likely
The well-loved "Star Wars" franchise was reignited when "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" was released last year. Since then, fans have been following animated series "Star Wars Rebels" to get their "Star Wars" fix before the release of other installments such as "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story." With the new film fast approaching, viewers of "Star Wars Rebels" season 3 have been wondering if the show will somehow connect to the happenings of the movie.
Ever since Disney claimed the "Star Wars" franchise, Lucasfilm has been trying to maintain a consistency in their projects' materials. This can be seen in the hit Disney XD series "Star Wars Rebels," which featured a lot of the characters from the past trilogies. Now that "Star Wars Rebels" season 3 is currently on air, it is likely that there will be references to the upcoming "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story."
