    if we see any deaths, it could be in some sort of a flashforward scenario and the episode fills in what happened to cause it

    Sam Witwer was a guest on Full of Sith podcast. He said if Twin Suns was 'less is more' and restrained episode, Zero Hour will be no holds barred madness.

    I think Rebels manage a retreat without complete destruction, but with significant losses and they lose a base. Thrawn remains the main antagonist in season four. Kallus is a goner and some of other side characters (Sato is a good candidate). They retreat to Dantooine, which was described in Lost Stars as well-organized, military base. So, Thrawn has a victory, but not as complete as he wanted to.

    I see the battle in this episode as a battle of Hoth type event. The Rebels will delay Thrawn as long as possible in order to evacuate as many personnel and resources as possible from Chopper Base. We even have a space battle coinciding with a ground assault with AT-AT's and Thrawn standing in for Vader. Many of the Rebels will escape but Chopper Base will be lost along with several supporting characters and a lot of red shirts.

    I believe that Commander Sato is as good as dead after that build up with Thrawn in Iron Squadron. I believe Kallus will likely bite the bullet as well although I would love to see him survive somehow and defect to the Rebels finally. As much as it pains me I think Fenn Rau is going to die too as his purpose on the show has been filled as Sabine has rejoined her family. I don't believe any of the main cast are going to die in this episode although I wouldn't be terribly disappointed either and if I had to guess its probably Zeb.

    The end result is that the Empire wins and the Rebels lose but they live to fight another day.

    Yeah Sato meeting his demise would open up an opportunity for Hera to take another step towards her eventual rank of General.

    Well, we're close now, so my thoughts:-

    1) Can see Sato maybe dying, but he's not been that integral in recent times so I think his demise won't have that much impact, so I'd say 50/50 chance
    2) Zeb or Kanan leaving or dying
    3) X Wings and/or Yavin being introduced
    4) Kallus escapes and joins the Rebellion - his arc isn't done yet

    Wild speculation....

    5) Thrawn dies

    I wouldn't hate it if Thrawn bites the dust so they can "officially" open up Thrawn canon the way they won't open up Obi-Wan until his main saga story is done
