it’s a great connection to ‘Rogue One.’ We knew the film would be out by this time, and we wanted to start integrating the continuity of everything, which means there will be more of that stuff in Season Four.”
Some of that “stuff” includes the return of both Saw Gerrera, the “Clone Wars” character who made the leap to live-action in “Rogue One” before debuting on “Rebels,” and Mon Mothma.
“You’ll get much more of an insight into seeing how that relationship breaks down and breaks apart,” Feloni said, before adding that Season Four, “might be possibly, possibly, possibly when you get to see an X-wing.” It will also feature Mandalore, a planet featured so prominently in “Star Wars: The Clone Wars.”
“The longer we’ve gone with this series, the more it just has occurred to me that ‘Rebels’ really is, in a lot of ways, going to finish ‘Clone Wars,'” Feloni said. “It’s going to give us an ending for so many things that I didn’t get to finish. That was never intentional, that was never the goal. But it’s kind of worked out that way. Some of these characters have come into it, and I think that’s a good thing in way, that they’re kind of a partnered series, while exactly explicitly connected, there is a shared story path for many characters it it, which I think is a good thing.”

Also apparently Vader was supposed to kill Maul in Rebels but they decided last minute to go a different direction.
I've got to groan a bit when they talk about finishing off Clone Wars with Rebels.. I don't want to see that. I want to see closure for these characters and this arc, don't just turn this into Clone Wars 2.0. I do get excited with the increased references to Rogue One though, so maybe I am a hypocrite. I feel like Rebels job was to set up Rogue One now, which sets up the OT, which sets up the NT.. etc..
