"Put your helmets back on, and keep your mouths shut."

That's one of Princess Leia's first lines on Star Wars Rebels, during her special season 2 appearance. She appears on the next episode, the mid-season premiere titled "A Princess on Lothal."

The episode presents special challenges - including "reminding the audience that she is part of the Empire at this point," showrunner Dave Filoni said in a press release. "The Empire sees her as a priveleged princess who runs mercy missions to wayward worlds, but in truth she is much stronger and more dangerous than they imagine."

The release also confirms this is the only episode of the season she'll appear in - but leaves things open for more appearances in the future.

"There really is no other character quite like her," Filoni said. "And to quote The Force Awakens' Lor San Tekka, 'She'll always be royalty to me.'"

Check out six new images from the episode below the official description.

"An aide to Bail Organa (Princess Leia Organa) is sent to Lothal with ships for the rebel fleet, but an Imperial lockdown forces the rebels to create a new plan to steal the vehicles."
