I really think we're only getting three seasons.
I hope I'm wrong about that but... it's probably not too early for Leia.

Haven't they already confirmed four?
Leia would be about thirteen during the setting of Rebels, right? And the PT established that on some planets, people are already involved in politics at that age. So she might have some adventures in this time frame.
It just occurred to me that all of the main characters probably meet a grisly end some time before the Battle of Yavin, especially Kanan, Ezra, and Ahsoka. Otherwise, why would it be such a big deal in the OT that Luke is the last and only Jedi? But killing off the main characters is probably too dark for a TV-Y7-rated show.

But none of them is technically an actual Jedi. Ahsoka walked away from the Jedi Order and is a free agent. Kanan was a Padawan who never graduated to Jedi, because his master was Order 66-ed. And since Kanan isn't officially a Jedi, that means Ezra isn't really a Padawan.
Although on second thought, you could argue that Luke isn't an official Jedi either, because he didn't apparently spend enough time training with Obi-Wan or Yoda to really earn the full status by the standards of the Order. So maybe it's arbitrary to say Luke is a Jedi and those three aren't. Heck, Ahsoka and Kanan have both spent more time training under the guidance of Jedi Masters than Luke ever will.
Well technically the order no longer exists since I doubt two people who haven't been any where near the temple, not even in the same system as one another in over a decade could be considered a "council" of anything.
But then that's only if you define a Jedi in formal bureaucratic terms as opposed to philosophical terms.
I'd say given what the Jedi stand for, the latter is the more relevant.
As for what happens to Ezra & Kanan...well people all said similar things about Ahsoka when Clone Wars was airing and she's still around. Frankly the back story to TFA is a bigger problem, but then that "incident" probably won't take place for another 25-30 years, by which time even Ezra would be well into middle age. Plenty of time for more stories to be told.

They've only announced three:

Different people involved with the show have stated "three or four seasons" but there hasn't been any word on it continuing beyond three. It's in production now. However, season three will be on mid season hiatus when we get Rouge One, so who knows? It seems like a lot of timeline hopping for people to dip back and forth around the formation of the Rebellion. Joe Six pack is going to get queasy. My feeling is that Disney will pull the plug on it after season three. Hope I'm wrong about that. There are lots of great story ideas and opportunities in this time period. The writers have been doing some great work this season.
We were talking about this several pages back; the general consensus was that Disney only does about 60 episodes of an animated series as an unwritten rule of sorts.
I hope we get S4 however it's likely Disney already has the next show in pro-production ready to go.
Personally, I super-hope the next series is based around:
Luke training the 'next' generation of Jedi and leading up to Ben's big turn to the dark side and massacre. It would be Luke-heavy, and fill in a newly minted major gap between the original and sequel trilogies. This would also help satisfy the butt-hurt fans felt about Luke being barely in TFA.
^^ I think that's basically what Episode 8 is going to be about. I posted an article upthread about the next series being Post ROTJ... personally I hope it's immediately Post-ROTJ showing what the Big Three were doing. Maybe that's why the New Canon books have been annoyingly avoiding showing that?
Okay, this is probably a lost cause, but in the hopes of clearing things up before the next movie:
Rogue (pronounced rohg, rhymes with vogue or brogue) means a renegade, scoundrel, or disobedient person. It is the name of an X-Men character and part of the title of an upcoming Star Wars movie, Rogue One, and a recent Mission: Impossible movie, Rogue Nation, as well as the term "rogues' gallery."
Rouge (pronounced roozh, rhymes with deluge) is the French word for the color red and for a kind of red makeup. It is part of the movie title Moulin Rouge, the city name Baton Rouge, and the political name Khmer Rouge, all of which refer to the color red in some way. It is not part of the title of an upcoming Star Wars movie.

They've got to get Ewan McGregor in the next film. The Rebels can notify Obi Wan about the Death Star project in song - it'll be renamed Moulin Rouge One!
Unless they're doing one about Princess Leia's aunt!
Ha! I remember people going on about the frequent Rogue/Rouge typo way back when the "Rogue Squadron" books came out.
hehe. why not? just splice together various dialog from the films and they're all good 
Julie Dolan who did Leia's voice in a video game will handle the chore. here is a link to article about it: http://www.tvinsider.com/article/64...t-to-appear-on-the-disney-xd-animated-series/
