2016
Darth Vader shows why
everyone wanted him for their team by kicking much butt, framing the cast and
forcing them off Lothal, wounding with the rebellion proper, and messing with
Ahsoka’s head when she finds out who he is.
(Yeah, if the show’s coming attractions and box set covers can spoil her
appearance, so can I.)
1.-2. The Siege of
Lothal
Ahsoka sends the gang
off to find some old friends of hers.
It’s Captain Rex and a couple other clones! They saved themselves from
Order 66 by watching Season Six of Clone
Wars, I guess. The old guys out
awesome some Imperial troops quite handily and Rex comes home on the Ghost.
3. The Lost Commanders
4. Relics of the Old
Republic
Hey, did you know there
were more Inquisitors? Neither did
Ezra. The Fifth Brother and Seventh
Sister show up to beat on him and most of the team. He interrupts Kanan and Rex’s arguments
afterwards to complain about this oversight in his education.
5. Always Two There Are
Hondo’s back. That’s all you need to know for the
awesomeness of this one.
6. Brothers of the
Broken Horn
Hera meets a goofy
little Mon Calamari who’s named after Ralph McQuarrie and invented the
B-Wing. She brings the attack craft back
to the rebellion and proves her awesome pilotness again.
7. Wings of the Master
Sabine mends fences with
a former friend who is her equal in vandalism and butt kicking. Chaos for the
Empire ensues.
8. Blood Sisters
Interdictor Cruisers
exist in the new continuity. Kanan and
Rex learn to play nice in order to board one and rescue Ezra and a Rebel
Commander. We also learn why
Stormtrooper aim sucks.
9. Stealth Strike
The Sith is stealing
babies again. Ahsoka has been practicing
her awesomeness since leaving Clone Wars
and it shows.
10 The Future of the
Force
Ezra learns the fate of
his parents. Given that this is both
Star Wars and Disney, it’s not a happy episode.
11. Legacy
Princess Leia! Nothing else to say. Except maybe a reminder that it’s her video
game voice, because while Carrie Fisher is awesome, she doesn’t sound anything
like a teenager anymore.
12. A Princess on Lothal
Sabine’s connection to
the Mandalorians explored as we meet some, and they continue the transition
from “Overly Militaristic Foes” to “Awesome Honorable Fighting Folks.”
13. The Protector of
Concord Dawn
Focus on Zeb for some
Hokey Religions and Ancient Legends of his people. The space effects look cool
at least.
14. Legends of the Lasat
Ezra bonds with some
space whales and learns hyperspace secrets from them. It’s an environmental
fable that loses a bit since terrestrial whales do not establish naval trade
routes, and Krill does not function as rocket fuel.
15. The Call
Hera’s dad Cham is back,
and so is little Numa, all grown up and blowing up enemy bases…*sniff* Family and treaty issues are both resolved
once Cham pulls his Lekku out of his butt and stops being so stubborn.
16. Homecoming
Kallus and Zeb play Enemy Mine on the now all dead planet
Geonosis. The Empire appears to have razed it in an effort to make everyone
forget Episode II. Kallus may be less evil than he originally seemed,
but his sideburns aren’t.
17 The Honorable Ones
Kanan, Ahsoka and Ezra
meet the new Inquisitors while in the hidden Jedi Temple. Yoda sends them all visions. We learn the
First Inquisitor was a Jedi Temple Guard, Kanan is now a Jedi Knight, Ahsoka
comes to terms with Anakin’s Vaderness, and Ezra is sent somewhere for the
season finale that may turn him evil.
Nice one there, Yoda.
18 Shroud of Darkness
Chopper meets Imperial
Droid AP-5 and they become more psychotic versions of Artoo and Threepio.
19. The Forgotten
Droid"
The Rebel Alliance finally
finds a safe planet to use as a base…
Until the GIANT SPIDERS
swarm the joint! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!
20. The Mystery of
Chopper Base"
In the worst kept secret
since his appearance in Clone Wars
Darth Maul comes back. Inquisitors drop faster than new ones can be introduced,
Vader awesomes a bit, Kanan and Ahsoka take some serious losses, and Ezra
flirts with Sithness. (Again, nice one there, Yoda.)
