I have been a fan of the Star Wars Franchise since I was 5 back in 1977, when I Saw Star Wars-ANH. Now in my forties that love grown into the animated series's like The Clone Wars; and Star Wars Rebels. first there was the short lived series The Clone Wars of the early 2000's which I truly enjoyed; but was canceled. It was shocking, because the animated series was so much better than than Pre-quels. I
In 2014 I was excited when I found out the Disney XD channel released Star Wars- Rebels. The series ran from 2014-2018. I was also shocked when season four was the series finale. Just like with the success of The Clone Wars, Rebels gets pulled too soon.
This is a great series, especially for those who are the 1st generation Star Wars fans.I can see why some do not like the series, but this is also for new fans ( Kids)as well.It introduces new characters like Zeb(Steve Blum) who is a Lasat. Lasat' are similar to Wookies. The Inquisitor(Jason Isaccs) is a Pau'an who turned to the dark side. Pau'an's come from the planet Utapain( Revenge of the Sith). If you seen the pre-quels you know what I'm talking about. Also new to the saga is Agent Kallus( David Oyelowo) an Imperial. As the series goes along new characters emerge. It wouldn't be Star Wars if you shelved those classic characters. Those that play a big role are Darth Vader, Obi-Wan, Lando, Tarkin, the Wookies, and those classic droids and Stormtroopers to name a few.
Star Wars- Rebels follows Ezra Bridger( Taylor Gray) who is an orphan from the planet Lothal. Lothal is a planet a lot like Tatoonie. There are a lot of Moisture Farms, Spaceports, and various species from all over the galaxy. Ezra team up with the crew of The Ghost. They are a small band of Rebels fighting The Empire. Ezra gets imvolved with them trying to flee from TIE Fighters, and Kanan (Freedie Prince Jr.) helps him aboard the Ghost. The crew includes Kanan , an experienced Jedi, Sabine( Tia Sircar) a Mandalorian, Jeb( Steve Blum), Hera the owner of the Ghost( Vanessa Marshall) a Twi'lek ; and their trouble making Astro-Mech Droid C1-10P)-(Dave Filoni). All have teamed up together because either their home worlds were destroyed or taken over by the Empire. Now Ezra knows is stay with the crew is a temporary time, but really doesn't have a reason to return to Lothal. While he is aboard he does get involved in a few adventures. At first he doesn't want to, but listens to the advise from Hera, and does whats right. Then he really starts to bond with them when he see Kanan in action with his lightsabre. Kanan knows there is something special with Ezra, but Ezra has to learn patience first. Kanan knows that Ezra has a purpose; and can be a valuable asset to them only if he has the proper training.
When Ezra gets taken Hostage by the Empire, he knows his only chance is to escape. Thinking his temporary friends will not return for him he outsmarts 2 stormtroopers and escapes through interior of the ship taking a trooper helmet. When he hears communication that the crew has come back for him he is shocked. They rescue him, but now it is time to return home.
He know he has bonded with all of them especially after they did rescue him, and does want to leave. Before returning home he devises a scheme and hopefully it will work. When they land on Lothal, as Ezra leaves he swipes Kanan's Lightsabre; and returns to his place. He is unaware the Kanan is right behind him and at his front door. Kanan makes him an offer, he can keep the Lightsabre for a souvenir or come with him and learn more about the force. When Ezra hears this, he accepts Kanan's offer. He is now a Padwan learner and a Jedi he will become. This is a great series with excellent animation and every episode delivers a TKO.
