The Review at the End of the Universe
“Visions and Voices” Star Wars Rebels brings back Maul who wants to make sense of the knowledge he gained from the Holocrons back in “The Holocrons of Fate“. This can be a very frustrating show as it has keenly demonstrated that it is capable of greatness but it also spends a lot of time being…
“An Inside Man” Star Wars Rebels returns to Lothal so that the team can infiltrate an Imperial factory to steal plans for a new weapon. On the surface this plot feels like standard Star Wars stuff. There’s a Star Wars film coming out in a couple of weeks that has this exact premise but this…
“The Wynkahthu Job” Star Wars Rebels tries for another “haunted house” story when Hondo brings them to a derelict ship containing weapons that will be useful for the Rebellion. Supply runs seem to be to the go to story catalyst this season which makes sense given that the Rebellion are at their weakest at this…
“Iron Squadron” Star Wars Rebels introduces another ragtag group fighting the Empire in the form of Iron Squadron, a crew of young people trying to protect their home. This is a difficult episode to review as it does so many things right but continually trips itself up in really fundamental ways. One episode manages to…
“Imperial Super Commandos” Star Wars Rebels returns to the Mandalorian story and brings back Fenn Rau when the Concord Dawn route goes quiet. One thing this season has done very well so far is giving other characters more to do. Sabine has always been an interesting one and this gives her another episode focused on…
“The Last Battle” Star Wars Rebels becomes an episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars for a week when a battalion of still functioning Battle Droids are found. Saying that this show became another show for one week is a really simplistic description but it is actually fairly accurate when considering what went on here….
“Hera’s Heroes” Star Wars Rebels focuses on Hera as she takes on a personal mission to retrieve a family heirloom. This season of Star Wars Rebels is doing a good job of balancing the characters. Previous seasons were far more focused on Ezra and Kanan so it’s good to see other characters having more to…
“The Antilles Extraction” Star Wars Rebels takes a break from the mythology of the force and focuses on the rebellion’s war against the Empire. The premise of this episode is that the Rebellion needs pilots and they get wind of some that are ready to defect as long as they can be extracted from an…
“The Holocrons of Fate” Maul makes his return in the latest Star Wars Rebels with a plan to unite the Jedi and Sith Holocrons. Doing this can provide pretty much infinite knowledge. Naturally Maul having infinite knowledge can’t be a good thing but the implications of it are interesting. Maul’s plan is a mystery so…
“Steps Into Shadow” Star Wars Rebels returns for a third season with a time jump and a seemingly darker focus following on from the uncertainty of the season 2 finale. Last season’s end had a lot of consequences to inform what this season will cover. Ahsoka is lost and presumed dead, Kanan is blind and…
