The Star Wars Rebels series finale, which included episodes “A Fool’s Hope” and “Family Reunion and Farewell”, kept me on the edge of my seat, broke my heart, and put it back together again. I’ll admit, when Ryder called up Pryce in “A Fool’s Hope” claiming that he wanted to surrender and trade in his […]

This week’s Star Wars Rebels installments – “Wolves and a Door” and “World Between Worlds” – felt more like one long episode than two separate ones, and boy, did Big Things happen! Unfortunately, with those Big Things come a lot of questions – enough to make me unsure as to how I feel about “Wolves […]

There have definitely been some moving episodes of Star Wars Rebels in the past, but none quite so heart-wrenching as this week’s “Jedi Night” and “Dume”. “Jedi Night” was, more than anything, a rescue-mission episode, but from the very beginning it felt different than all the Rebels rescue mission episodes that have come before. There was […]

For the first time this season, there was only one new Star Wars Rebels episode this week, and with “Rebel Assault” viewers are left on edge until the rest of the season airs starting in early 2018. “Rebel Assault” was an adrenaline rush from the very beginning, and while we did catch glimpses of Ezra, […]

Perhaps it was the amount of physical travel that the characters did between “Kindred” and “Crawler Commanders”, but these two episodes felt much more like standalone stories than the previous sets. Granted, “Crawler Commanders” couldn’t have happened without “Kindred”, but at the end of “Kindred” we did know that Hera had made it away from […]

So far the Star Wars Rebels season 4 theme seems to be ‘our heroes go on a mission, nothing goes as planned, they expand their mission anyway, things get even worse’…and “The Occupation” and “Flight of the Defender” hammered that theme home yet again. “The Occupation” began with Ezra sounding a lot like Luke Skywalker; […]

This week’s Star Wars Rebels installment, “In the Name of the Rebellion”, was another two-parter – an interesting decision, as airing so many back-to-back episodes means that season four has yet to feature any actual cliff hangers. It’s not the worst thing to ever happen, but I find myself wondering if it’s sustainable. That said, […]

The fourth and final season of Star Wars Rebels started with a bang in “Heroes of Mandalore”, a two-part season premiere that takes place entirely on, you guessed it, Mandalore. Our “Heroes of Mandalore” were in pretty dire straits at the beginning – and again twice more, later in the episode – but even I […]
