Looks like Zeb isn't alone as far as his species goes.

  I was reading this article about Season 3 of Star Wars Rebels, sounds pretty cool. They say it'll be a link between Rebels, ANH and Rogue One. They say it'll have more recognizable elements in season 3.
 Here's a link to the article, if you scroll down there's a video interview with the actors and creators of Rebels.

   It leads me to believe this may be the last season. I would expect to see some ANH meybe Rogue One characters make an appearance, but I don't think we'll see Rebels Characters in Rogue One. Possibly meybe some Rebels easter eggs in the movie. I don't think Rebels and Rogue One are directly connected, because Marvel is making the Rogue One prequel comics. Whatever happens in Season 3 they say it'll be huge.

That last season is pretty much what I first thought when I read that. Hope not, but I am thinking they will keep some type of Disney SW Anime on from now on while the movies are hot. Kinda like they are doing with Marvel and DC.
