Darth Vader will return to "Star Wars Rebels" for the March 2 season finale of the Disney XD series.

The iconic villain previously appeared in October in a scene produced for the ABC rebroadcast of "Star Wars Rebels: Spark of Rebellion," where he was voiced once again by James Earl Jones. Other episodes have featured C-3PO and R2-D2, the disembodied voice of Yoda, Lando Calrissian and, most recently, Grand Moff Tarkin.

Set between the events of "Revenge of the Sith" and "A New Hope," "Star Wars Rebels" follows a ragtag bunch of rebels who band together aboard the freighter ship Ghost even as the Empire strengthens its grip on the galaxy and hunts down the last remaining Jedi Knights.

The Season 1 finale, "Fire Across the Galaxy," premieres Monday, March 2 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Disney XD.
