Disney XD has released a new clip from the upcoming all-new episode of "Star Wars Rebels." As season three of "Star Wars Rebels," the Ghost crew is getting closer and closer to Grand Admiral Thrawn. In the episode "An Inside Man," Jedi-in-training Ezra will get up close to the Imperial villain.

Thrawn, who was pulled directly from Timothy Zahn's classic trilogy of expanded universe novels, is a ruthless leader -- and that quality is on display in this clip from the Disney XD animated series. In it, Thrawn teaches a stern lesson to an Imperial factory worker -- to potentially explosive results. This just proves that even the regular people that just work on speeder bikes aren't beneath the Empire's wrath.

Seeking information on a new Imperial weapon, Ezra and Kanan infiltrate the Imperial factory on Lothal, but they must trust an unlikely ally to escape a lockdown of the building.

Thrawn's not the only villain that "Rebels" has brought into season three. Previous installments have seen more Mandalorian warriors and the Sith lord Darth Maul enter the fray.

“Star Wars Rebels” features the talents of Freddie Prinze Jr., Taylor Gray, Vanessa Marshall, Tiya Sircar, Steve Blum, Dee Bradley Baker and David Oyelowo. New episodes air on Saturdays at 8:30 p.m. ET/PT on Disney XD.
