Star Wars: Rebels (TV Series) Brothers of the Broken Horn (2015) User Reviews

Hey Ezra, want some cheese with that whine?

[Fluke_Skywalker · 6/10 · 8 October 2016]

Plot; Ezra, feeling frustrated by his many duties and obligations, answers a distress call as much to get away as to do the right thing.

Wow, five episodes in and yet another return of a Clone Wars character. I get that Star Wars is the smallest big universe there is, and bringing back characters from that series is certainly valid, but this is a tad much. That said, Hondo Ohnaka is a fun character, and I always enjoy seeing the seedy underbelly of the SW universe. There are a number of plot contrivances, and I can't say I enjoyed seeing Ezra hit that whiney patch ala Luke and Anakin (but he is a kid, and as we all know, kids are annoying), but overall the episode is pretty good fun, if light and inconsequential.

An Old Pirate

[A_Kind_Of_CineMagic · 7/10 · 12 October 2020]

This is another comedic filler (one of too many in this show) but it is quite an enjoyable one.

More squabbling amongst the crew is extremely unwanted and brings nothing to the show except annoyance but once Ezra meets up with old pirate Hondo things brighten up. Hondo was a fun character in Clone Wars and is still fun. Ezra's interaction with him is good, entertaining and quite endearing.

There is a theme of Ezra questioning his purpose and path ahead which adds a little substance but overall this is just entertaining filler.

My rating: 7/10.

I enjoyed some of Hondo's dialogue, and seeing him again was quite fun, but this whole episode just felt kind of fillery. Ezra questioning what he should be doing, what path he should be taking, is a decent idea, but maybe one the writing crew could have built up to better. Then again, I'm not a writer, so maybe I don't have much room to talk.

It's not a bad episode, I just feel like ot could have been more.

Brothers of the Broken Horn

[lassegalsgaard · 5/10 · 14 December 2019]

This is definitely what I would consider a wasted episode. I have always liked the character of Hondo Ohnaka, but the version that we got in this episode, while having a lot of good moments, felt like a really childish version of the character who had been incredibly awesome in previous appearances. The episode didn't seem to have anything going for it, and I never understood what the idea was behind it. It even decided to bring back one of the worst antagonists that this series has had so far, and this episode did nothing to make him more interesting. I still don't understand what the meaning of this episode was. Was it to make Ezra realize that he needs to put more focus on the things that matter? If it was, then I didn't get the sense that it succeeded in doing that. I wish I could have seen something do justify the existence of this episode, but this does belong in the "unnecessary" category with that other episode in the first series. I hope that this doesn't become a regular thing, but when the episode number has been boosted so much for this series, I could fear that more could be on the way.
