Star Wars Rebels: Has Kotor 2 Revealed the Identity of Ezra's Mystery Sith?
The recent finale of Star Wars Rebels had everything. Crazy former Sith? Check. Blinded master? Check. Temples and an epic duel between Ahsoka and Darth Vader? Triple check. But a dominant theme throughout the episode was the Sith holocron, an ancient artifact used to keep the knowledge and sometimes even the spirits of Sith. At the very end of the episode, Ezra unlocks the holocron and goes all Sith evil eyes on us, but we never get to know whose holocron it is. But I believe that Knights of the Old Republic 2 the Sith Lords unveiled the true identity of the mystery Sith long ago. Here is my evidence for this fan theory and be advised, at present it's pure conjecture.

But yes, there are high indications of the new character thing from the official production people so take all this with a grain of salt...

In The Shadow Of The Force: How The Jedi Almost Appeared In 'Rogue One'
The first-ever Star Wars spinoff, Rogue One, is a standalone movie that — uniquely — features not even a trace of the Jedi! There are no lightsaber duels and, with the exception of Darth Vader's rampage at the end of the film, you don't see explicit Force-usage, and the idea of the Light Side and the Dark Side isn't even touched upon.

Legendary Author Timothy Zahn Is Returning To The 'Star Wars' Canon!
