I am cognizant of the fact that I am one of the very few people in the world who enjoys Star Wars Rebels while also disliking The Clone Wars. This is something I’m kind of sick of talking about, and I’m sure you’re sick of reading, but once again I’m forced to bring up my distaste … Continue reading STAR WARS REBELS Review – “Brothers of the Broken Horn”
This review contains spoilers During the last season of Star Wars Rebels, I wrote a particularly nasty review of the episode “Idiot’s Array” in which I called out the episode’s writer, Kevin Hopps, describing his work as (among other things) “a major stain on an otherwise spotless show.” It was mean – more mean than … Continue reading STAR WARS REBELS Review – “Always Two There Are”
This review contains spoilers. We have now gotten three separate two-part episodes in Star Wars Rebels thus far, and a pattern is beginning to emerge. The first part in each of these micro-arcs is dedicated to the goal of progressing major plot and character developments; whether that be Ezra wrestling with the ghosts of his … Continue reading STAR WARS REBELS Review – “Relics of the Old Republic”
This review contains spoilers. From the moment Ahsoka set foot aboard the Ghost at the end of Star Wars Rebels‘ previous season, I have been nervous about characters and stories leftover from The Clone Wars getting in the way of what Rebels does best. This trepidation was allayed somewhat when the fantastic Season Two opener, “The Siege of Lothal”, managed … Continue reading STAR WARS REBELS Review – “The Lost Commanders”
RECOMMENDED VIEWING: Like last time, I’m going to start off by recommending one story arc from The Clone Wars to serve as an introduction to these characters before we meet them in Rebels. The episodes I’m recommending (episodes 1-4 of Season Six) may seem counter-intuitive because Captain Rex is barely featured in them, but I … Continue reading STAR WARS REBELS Primer – Captain Rex and the Clone Troopers
Note: This review contains SPOILERS A few months ago, I gave you some of my initial impressions on Star Wars Rebels‘ Season Two opener after it premiered at Star Wars Celebration, but now that it’s been released to the public and I don’t have to worry about holding back spoilers (and because I was able to hear … Continue reading STAR WARS REBELS Review – “The Siege of Lothal” (All Spoilers Edition)
RECOMMENDED VIEWING: Before we begin, I would like to recommend watching the final four episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars Season Five. I’ve made no secret of my distaste for this show and the fact that I think almost all of it bad, but this four episode arc is not only the best the … Continue reading STAR WARS REBELS Primer – Ahsoka Tano
After the first season of Star Wars Rebels ended by blowing up the series’ status quo I’ve been looking forward to the next season with equal parts excitement and trepidation. I’ve explained all this at length, twice actually, and so going in to the Season Two premier tonight at Star Wars Celebration, I wasn’t sure … Continue reading STAR WARS REBELS Review – “The Siege of Lothal” (Season Two Premier)
More so than anything else, Season One of Star Wars Rebels has gotten me excited about the future of the larger Star Wars series, so I knew that even if I couldn’t attend any other days, I had to make it to day three of Star Wars Celebration in Anaheim. After waiting in two different … Continue reading STAR WARS REBELS Season Two Panel and First Look
Season One of Star Wars Rebels has come to an end, and all things considered, they had a pretty great first season. I certainly wasn’t expecting to completely fall in love with a new Star Wars cartoon, especially not to the point that it would actually compel me to go back and sit through the mostly … Continue reading Wild Speculation for STAR WARS REBELS Season Two
