Ezra goes from being a loner
thief and orphan to a member of the Ghost crew. He starts this by being
accidentally kidnapped but proves his worth to the proto-rebels by giving a
hoot and risking his own butt for Wookie slaves. Imperial Agent Kallus (and his
sideburns) is the big bad guy at this point.
A holocron of Clone Wars Obi
Wan shows up to keep fans of that show from freaking out that it was replaced
by this one.
1-2. Star Wars Rebels:
Spark of Rebellion
Crime lord Vizago shows
up to kick off his variable friend/foe relationship with the Rebels. R2 and 3PO also join in the adventure to
remind everyone that with Disney driving now, everything will be connected in a
controlled fashion.
3. Droids in Distress
The little boys of the
family (Zeb and Ezra) squabble a lot, so Mom (Hera) sends them to find fruit
for her. They bond, start a running gag
of melon jokes, and steal a Tie fighter.
4. Fighter Flight
Kanan gets a lead on
Luminara and thinks she’ll be a better Jedi trainer for Ezra. It’s a trap!
Not much of a surprise, since she isn’t a regular, but we do meet the
Inquisitor.
5. Rise of the Old
Masters
Ezra goes undercover at
the Imperial Academy, and proves himself a valuable member of Specter
Team. Amazingly, they do teach
marksmanship there.
6. Breaking Ranks
Hera trusts “the boys”
to fix the Phantom, and she and Sabine end up stranded on an old base
surrounded by big monster things because of this oversight.
7. Out of Darkness
Some force training and
back story for Ezra amidst and impressive showing of the Empire’s hardware on
Lothal. That’s the planet most of this season takes place on. I should have
mentioned that sooner. The team then
heads back to the base with the monsters, meets the Inquisitor again, and Ezra
flirts with the dark side.
8. Empire Day
9. Gathering Forces
Kanan brings Ezra to a
hidden Jedi temple where he has visions, gets a Kyber crystal, hears Yoda
(Frank Oz, yay!) and builds a lightsaber/blaster hybrid out of components the
rest of the team gives him…Awwwwww.
10. Path of the Jedi
Multiple stings and
counter stings with Lando Calrissian!
Azmorigan, (JAmes "Lo Pan" Hong!) the big bad gangster is based on an unused idea for Jabba the
Hutt. Now we know why it was unused.
11. Idiot's Array
Exiled senator intends
to bring back story and rebellion information to Lothal. Things go askew for everyone involved.
12. Vision of Hope
Grand Moff Tarkin takes
over Imperial operations on Lothal. The
bad guys go from mostly ineffectual and kinda funny to “Oh Crap!” almost
immediately. Oh, and Kanan gets captured.
13. Call to Action
Kanan’s rescue involves
deals with Vizago, joining the rebellion proper and the reveal of the mystery
information source as an old friend. The
stolen TIE fighter makes a comeback as well.
The final battle with the Inquisitor turns out to be just the beginning
of troubles as Darth Vader (voiced by James Earl Jones, Woo!) enters the
storyline.
14. Rebel Resolve
15. Fire Across the
Galaxy
