We can now verify a story we posted a few days ago. The Star Wars Rebels Visual Guide from DK confirms that Cikatro Vizago is in fact a real character who will be featured in Star Wars Rebels and a Lothal kingpin he shall be.
We can also confirm that C-3PO & R2-D2 will be in the show.
Senator Bail Organa carries over from the prequel era.
Two new characters named Commandant Aresko and Taskmaster Grint from the Imperial Academy make their debut.
There are two new Wookiees and several other new characters as well, but you'll either need to go buy the book or wait until the series hits Disney XD this Fall for more info! Please remember, many fans do not want to be spoiled, so keep that in mind when you are making comments below.
