Admiral Ackbar leads an underwater squad in season 4

Via StarsWarsBlog:

Season 4 starts with an underwater story arc on the planet of Mon Calamari. Filoni said they wanted the cameras to have similar movements to underwater scuba camera. They had to create an entire civilization from the buildings to the population of the people — male and female fish, warriors, the Quarren army, etc.

New Faces and Armor:
They changed the look of a lot of the main characters like Anakin, Ahsoka and Obi-Wan, so this season they upgraded the facial expressions on the clone faces and changed some of the armor as well. Captain Rex doesn't like the new armor because he thinks it's too disposable so he makes a hybrid of his old armor welded together with his new armor. He's worried that the Republic looks at the clones as more of a disposable army.

New Jedi Character: General Krell
He's the same species as Dexter Jettster! He's an uncoventional, powerful Jedi who causes the clones to question things in different ways.

Madame Mandalorian?
Filoni revealed that Battlestar Galactica actress Katee Sackoff will be voicing a female Mandalorian. He really wanted to have an actress voice her that really understood the fan culture. Filoni wanted to put a female Mandalorian on the show to give the woman fans another cool costume option to cosplay. Her helmet design is based on a barn owl because Filoni's wife likes owls. Director Jon Favreau will be back as Mandalorian Pre Vizsla, as well.

Bring on the Bounty Hunters!
Filoni says Cad Bane, Bossk, and Boba Fett will be back, along with an old favorite coming to the series — Dengar!

New Challenges for Ahsoka:
Lux's character might challenge Ahsoka's own feelings about someone that she care for. When a fan asks about her pending fate, Filoni says he's thought of about eight different possible outcomes for Ahsoka, but nothing has been decided yet.
