Absolutely Fantastic Star Wars Rebels Episode!
*Minor Spoilers Below*
Rise of the Old Masters, I think, can be easily compared to the movies of The Original Star Wars Trilogy thanks to its character development, its twist in the story, and The Inquisitor having time to shine here as a villain with presence.
The episode opens up with Ezra training with Kanan and Chopper on the outside of The Ghost. As you'd expect, things don't go well for Ezra: he falls off The Ghost but is saved by Kanan. This results in the master and apprentice getting frustrated with each other; Kanan feels that he isn't meant to train Ezra to be a Jedi. This arc develops some more when the crew of The Ghost receives a distress call from Imperial Defector Gall Trayvis revealing the whereabouts of Jedi Master Luminara Unduli, believed to have been killed during The Clone Wars. Kanan gets the crew to investigate this report. The question is: Will they find Master Luminara?
This episode develops the darker areas of Star Wars Rebels without losing the sense of fun the series has already established. We see more chemistry developing between Ezra and Kanan in this story, particularly, as they help each other when the need arises; very Star Wars-y in nature.
Rise of the Old Masters is definitely a strong part of Star Wars' new canon, and I highly recommend watching this episode first if you have any doubts about introducing yourself to the series in general.
