"Star Wars Rebels" season 3 is well on its way and fans are wondering how it will play its role in integrating the Star Wars Universe.

Producer Simon Kinberg recently revealed in an interview with Moviefone how the upcoming season of "Star Wars Rebels" will bring the Star Wars Universe together.

"I think part of the fun of the way they're building the universe is that it is interconnected between the different movies and even beyond the movies. It's something that was true in comic books going back, the way that you'd have interconnections between characters and stories," he said.

"Star Wars Rebels" includes some of the characters created by George Lucas, such as Darth Vader, Lando Calrissian, C-3PO, and R2-D2.

Kinberg also revealed that the upcoming season will bring in some of the characters from the animated series.

"What's lovely is, obviously, we've brought in characters from 'Clone Wars' in the second season, and we keep sort of bringing characters from the original movies and sort of deepening the relationships between our core characters, the Ghost crew," he said.

He said it's like trying to balance the original cast from the first season with 'Clone Wars,' with characters from the original movies.

"And maybe even feeding into future movies," he added.

In other news, Saw Gerrera, the rebellious veteran from the "Star Wars: The Clone Wars," is already set to debut in the standalone film "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story." The character will be played by actor Forest Whitaker.

Announcement on the premiere date of "Star Wars Rebels" season 3 is expected on July 16 during the "Star Wars Celebration Europe 2016."
