Spinning out of the #CloneWarsRewatch comes #RebelsRewatch. As we prepare for season two of “Star Wars: Resistance,” “The Mandalorian,” “Rise of Skywalker” and the final season of “Star Wars: The Clone Wars,” I will continue to rewatch the animated Star Wars projects and bridge the gaps between the past and present of The Skywalker Saga S3E1-2 Steps into Shadows Part 1 and 2 Recap: Ezra’s power grows. The empire seeks help from a master Imperial strategist, Grand Admiral Thrawn, to snuff out the rebellion. Connecting the Canon Ezra got a haircut and Sabine gets another new hair color. Ezra also got a new green lightsaber. Hondo is freed from prison with another Ugnaught. Ezra’s dark side is alluded at once again. He’s now using the force in ways Kanan didn’t teach him. The Sith Holocron is calling to him. Zeb says, “pretty wizard, aye?” Lars Mikkelsen Is introduced as Grand Moff Tarkin. Though we’ve heard about Governor Pryce, this is the first time we see her on the show. She has a much bigger past with Tarkin and Thrawn. Tom Baker is The Bendu. He says he is the middle between the dark side and the light. S3E3 The Holocrons of Fate Recap: Maul captures the Ghost crew as leverage to bring the Jedi and Sith Holocrons together. Connecting the Canon Sam Witwer returns as Darth Maul. He tells Sabine that he once ruled her people, which we saw in “The Clone Wars.” After Maul throws Kanan out of an airlock, he uses the force to pull himself back into the ship. This same exact thing happens in “The Last Jedi” when Leia is in space. We discover that Maul is trying to track down Obi-Wan. Ezra says he see’s the key to destroying the Sith. “Twin Suns.” This likely refers to Luke Skywalker. We know Luke destroyed the Sith and wanted to end the Jedi. I wonder if he still has a role to play in episode nine that will bring an ultimate balance. S3E4 The Antilles Extraction Recap: Sabine goes undercover to recruit defecting pilots. Connecting the Canon There is a new Fulcrum. This one seems like a man. (It is.) This is the youngest we’ve ever seen Wedge Antilles. We now know most of his full story. From joining the Empire to Rise of Skywalker, while he is married to Nora Wexley. Nathan Kress plays Wedge Antilles. Kallus lets Sabine and Ezra go aa a favor to Zeb. But this is the first of many times. S3E5 Hera’s Heroes Recap: Hera returns to Ryloth to recover a family heirloom. Connecting the Canon We see Hera’s father again. The Twi’leks ride on Blurgs which will be seen again in “The Mandalorian.” Hera is trying to recover her mother’s heirloom. Thrawn shows his mental abilities in his first encounter with Hera and Ezra. However, he also shows that he isn’t as hostile towards other alien life and their art/history as the Empire is. Once again, the team paints Chopper and somehow this makes him blend in. S3E6 The Last Battle Recap: Rex, Kanan and Ezra must fight an abandoned squad of Separatist droids leftover from the Clone Wars to rescue Zeb from a tactical droid who is certain this will be the “Final” battle of the Clone War. Connecting the Canon This episode has major ties to “The Clone Wars.” Rex mentions Commander Cody. The last time we saw him he was betraying Obi-Wan in “Revenge of the Sith.” The tactical droid and Rex realized that neither of them won the war. They were just pawns in the creation of the Empire. The episode ended with a new title card that looked like “The Clone Wars” card and we heard the Clone Wars theme instead. S3E7 Imperial Super Commandos Recap: Sabine and Ezra accompany Fen Rau back to Mandalore. Connecting the Canon Fen Rau takes us back to Mandalore. We meet Gar Saxon who is part of clan Visla like Sabine. (This means they descend from Pre Visla’s clan.) We see Imperial Mandalorians. S3E8 Iron Squadron Recap: The crew meet another rebel cell. Connecting the Canon Matt Martin is also one of the names of a story group member. Mart Mattin is not a coincidence. Iron Squad live in a Correllian Freighter S3E10 An Inside Man Recap: Kanan and Ezra infiltrate and Imperial prison on Lothal. Connecting the Canon At this point, season three seems to be rotating between Mandalore, Lothal, and Hondo Missions. Oh look, Chopper is painted again. Thrawn has art of Loth Wolves, Mandalorian guards and more. Kallus was obviously Fulcrum. S3E11 Visions and Voices
Recap: Maul needs Ezra’s help to finally unlock the secrets that he desires. Connecting the Canon The Nightsisters return. Dathomir returns. Magic Returns. Maul Returns. That’s why this episode is great. Ezra and Maul bridge their minds. Kind of like Rey and Kylo in “The Last Jedi.” We see a painting of Duchess Satine and the return of the Dark Saber. Ezra learns that Obi-Wan Kenobi is alive. Maul says, “It ends, where it begins. A planet with twin suns” referring to “The Phantom Menace.” BEST OF THE BATCH This week there were a lot of episodes that were generic heist or procedural episodes. That doesn’t mean they aren’t important, just that they are little more tedious to watch. While “The Last Battle” and the entrance of Thrawn were great, it’s “Visions and Voices” that takes the number one spot this week. Returning to Dathomir and wrapping up the story of the Nightsisters was something I was so happy to see in “Rebels.” "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker" is in theaters December 20. May the Force be with you, always. [email protected] @GrahamWoodMedi

Spinning out of the #CloneWarsRewatch comes #RebelsRewatch. As we prepare for season two of “Star Wars: Resistance,” “The Mandalorian,” “Rise of Skywalker” and the final season of “Star Wars: The Clone Wars,” I will continue to rewatch the animated Star Wars projects and bridge the gaps between the past and present of The Skywalker Saga S2E13 The Protector of Concord Dawn Recap: Hera is injured after attempting peace negotiations with a Mandalorian Colony on Concord Dawn. Sabine and Kanan must put aside their differences with the people and not seek revenge. Connecting the Canon Concord Dawn is a Mandalorian Colony. Sabine comes from House of Visla and is part of Death Watch. Sabine says, “I guess I’ve just been raised right,” furthering the theme of family between Hera, Kanan and the crew. This episode furthers the Mandalore plot from “Clone Wars.” S2E14 Legends of the Lasat Recap: The Ghost crew rescues two Lasat from imperial clutches as Zeb reluctantly agrees to help them find their new home world. Connecting the Canon This is the first time we see more Lasat people. Jim Cummings returns as Hando. The music in this episode is gorgeous and so is the Maelstrom. This may be one of the best episodes in the series. Lira San is the home world of the Lasat. S2E15 The Call Recap: Running out of power and fuel, the crew encounters massive creatures, known as purrgils, threatening a mining operation. Connecting the Canon The purrgills are super cool creations. They have an ancient tie to hyperspeed technology. S2E16 Homecoming Recap: Ba Connecting the Canon Cham Syndulla, Hera’s father, was introduced in “The Clone Wars” and returns in this episode. Hera found Chopper during the Clone Wars. Hera has an accent!?! Mace Windu is mentioned, referring to early Clone Wars episodes. Numa and Gobi Glie return in this episode. Numa is now all grown up and betrays Hera. Catherine Taber guest stars. Ryloth has had a long battle, under Separatist control and then Empirical control. S2E17 The Honorable Ones Recap: Zeb is stranded on an icy moon of Geonosis with the last person he would ever want to be stranded with, Agent Kallus. Connecting the Canon The Empire had started building parts of the Death Star over Geonosis. Darth Vader sterilized the planet so the Geonosis queen couldn’t reproduce. This second half of the season the “Rebels theme” hasn’t been playing over the main title like it used to. Zeb is “the child” and Kallus is “the warrior.” Their fates are tied together forever even before they know it in this episode. Here we see our first glimpse at Kallus becoming a good guy. S2E18 Shroud of Darkness Recap: Seeking to learn more about the Inquisitors and how to stop them, Kanan, Ezra and Ahsoka return to the temple on Lothal. Each has a unique vision. Connecting the Canon This episode opens with Kanan and Ezra fighting the Inquisitors, proving that there are plenty more offscreen stories to tell. Ahsoka says, “the last time I saw him (Anakin) he was racing off to save the Chancellor,” proving that Ahsoka will see Anakin before the events of “Revenge of the Sith.” Matt Lanter returns as Anakin in a hologram. James Earl Jones returns as Vader. Frank Oz returns as Yoda. Jason Isaacs returns as Sentinel. Ahsoka, Kanan and Ezra return to the Lothal temple. Ahsoka says that she is no longer a Jedi and can’t use the force to open the temple. We find out that the temple goes a lot deeper. The temple guard has a collapsible lightsaber like we see “dark Rey” have in “The Rise of Skywalker” trailer. The temple guard hints that Ezra will fall to the dark side. We see yellow, black and white lightsabers and I really wish we would have seen them in live-action by now. Ahsoka says that Yoda was happier when she was younger and that the Clone Wars took a great toll on him as if he knew the Jedi’s time was ending. Ezra returns to a place that looks like the World Between Worlds to commune with Yoda. Yoda is sitting on a log on Dagobah but both Yoda and Ezra’s powers are growing. Ahsoka knows that Anakin has become Vader and she blames herself. Yoda warns Ezra not to bend fear into anger. Yoda admits the Jedi’s arrogance caused their downfall. This is in line with what Luke says in “The Last Jedi.” We learn that The Inquisitor was once a knight of the Jedi Order and now so is Kanan. Ahsoka says, “there’s still a way,” possibly meaning there’s still a way to save Anakin. Yoda tells Ezra to find Malachor. This episode changes all three character’s destinies. Ahsoka sees Yoda one last time. The Grand Inquisitor fights the fifth brother and seventh sister. Palpatine is scouring Jedi temples for relics. S2E19 The Forgotten Droid Recap: Chopper is left behind and must find his way back to the Ghost crew. Connecting the Canon I like how the series keeps adding people to the Ghost crew, like Ahsoka, Rex and now this new imperial droid, AP-5. I can imagine Kanan telling Hera that the ship is becoming a bed and breakfast. S2E20 The Mystery of Chopper Base Recap: The rebel cell’s new base is home to some unwelcome company. Connecting the Canon The little snail guys are super cute. Hera says “we’ve got to get used to not having them around” about Kanan and Ezra. She knows that their time might be limited with the Inquisitors hunting them. Ezra calls himself “the last jedi in the galaxy” even though he doesn’t include Ahsoka, Kana, Yoda, Obi-Wan, or soon to be Luke. Hera is worried that she will never see Kanan and Ezra again. We get a beautiful shot of the two of them against the sunset. The bird follows Ahsoka around foreshadows the future. S2E21-22 Twilight of the Apprentice Recap: Ahsoka, Kanan, and Ezra visit a Sith temple on Malachor for a final showdown. Connecting the Canon Rex tells Ahsoka that “experience outranks everything,” something he said to her when they first met. We see the dead Jedi left on Malachor. We also see a green lightsaber that looks like Kylo Ren’s. The Eighth brother appears in this episode. He was tracking Maul. That’s a story that still needs to be told. Maul says that he’s been on Malachor for years. Ezra is tempted by the dark side. That’s why he touches the temple and is so easily persuaded by Darth Maul. Darth Maul says the Sith tore him from his mother, killed his brother, used him, and took everything from him, which is true. Maul saves Ezra because he needs a second person to open the holocron. This is the first time we see an inquisitor use its lightsaber to fly. Ahsoka immediately recognizes Maul from the “Seige of Mandalore” which we will season in season seven of “The Clone Wars.” This is the first time we see seven people fighting with lightsabers, 11 blades. Kanan and Ahsoka look at each other while Ezra is talking like, “oh my god, this kid is gonna get it.” I wonder if Maul ultimately wanted to kill Vader to get another chance at being Sidious’ apprentice. “Twilight of the Apprentice” works on two levels, Ahsoka and Anakin, and Sidious and Maul. I’m sure Maul can barely handle himself from getting another chance to kill Ahsoka. Ezra is tiptoeing so close to the dark side, which becomes a big part of season three. The same person who voices Asaj Ventress also voices the sith holocron. In my head canon, I like to imagine it is Ventress’ old holocron. Maul says that the Sith temple is a battle station. Maul blinds Kanan. Vader destroys Ezra’s lightsaber. Ahsoka faces Vader. All the roads diverge. Rex realizes that Ahsoka is gone. Maul escapes. Vader makes it out of the temple. We see something enter the temple. Many people thought it was Vader. This started the #AhsokaLives campaign. Her bird (which is important) is shown going back to the temple. Kanan will never see Hera again. Ezra is tempted by the dark side. The season two finale is epic and brilliant. BEST OF THE BATCH
This week the best episode, hands down, is Shroud of Darkness because of all the force lore it introduces, connects back to “The Clone Wars” and foreshadows the shows future. We see the return of Matt Lanter as Anakin, Frank Oz as Yoda, Jason Issacs as the Inquisitor, who was once a Jedi knight, and James Earl Jones as Vader. The runner ups include “Twilight of the Apprentice” which has an unfair advantage of being a two-part finale with the return of Darth Maul and Ahsoka/Vader’s final showdown. Another great episode was “Honorable Ones,” which has me shipping Zeb and Kallus and creating my own fanfiction. . "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker" is in theaters December 20. May the Force be with you, always. [email protected] @GrahamWoodMedia Spinning out of the #CloneWarsRewatch comes #RebelsRewatch. As we prepare for season two of “Star Wars: Resistance,” “The Mandalorian,” “Rise of Skywalker” and the final season of “Star Wars: The Clone Wars,” I will continue to rewatch the animated Star Wars projects and bridge the gaps between the past and present of The Skywalker Saga S2E1-2 The Siege of Lothal Recap: Darth Vader picks up where the Inquisitor left off. Now that the Ghost Crew is connected to other rebel cells, eliminating them is a priority from the Emperor himself. Connecting the Canon In the season premiere, we meet Phoenix Squadron, the new name of the Rebel Cell that the Ghost Crew is part of, and Commander Sato. Sabine now has a new hair color. Darth Vader, played by James Earl Jones returns to the show. The Empire growing on Lothal will eventually be the reason the rebels return in season four. Lando was last seen in the season one episode, “Idiot’s Array.” This is the first time James Earl Jones, Ian McDiarmid and Billy Dee Williams have been in a Star Wars project together since “Return of the Jedi.” Originally, this episode had Sam Witwer playing Emperor Palpatine. Ahsoka and Vader recognize one another, continuing one of many loose threads from “The Clone Wars.” We learn that there is more than one inquisitor. S2E3 The Lost Commanders Recap: Ahsoka sends the Ghost crew in search of an old friend. Connecting the Canon Dee Bradley Baker returns as Rex, Wolffe and Gregor. Gregor was last seen in “The Clone Wars” episode, “A Bright Day in the Void.” Wolfe was last seen in “The Clone Wars” episode, “The Wrong Jedi.” The Battle of Christophsis and The Siege of Mandalore were both name-dropped by Rex. The first was shown in “The Clone Wars” movie and was the introduction of Ahsoka Tano. The Siege of Mandalore is expected to be shown in the upcoming season seven of “The Clone Wars” on Disney+ in February. It is the final showdown between Darth Maul and Ahsoka. The Emperor retired the clone army. It’s incredible that the animators even got the liver spots and chest wrinkles on the clones. S2E4 Relics of the Old Republic Recap: Picking up where the last episode left off, Wolfe has alerted the Empire of the Ghost Crew’s location. Rex agrees to help the rebels off the planet. Connecting the Canon It’s never been 100 percent clear when the Clone Troopers became Storm Troopers. I assume most of them died and they couldn’t make more. As a result, the troopers were retired. I’d be curious to return to Kamino in the time of the Empire though. Gregor and Wolfe remained on Seelos and made the AT-AT walker their new home, kind of like Rey on Jakku. S2E5 Always Two There Are Recap: The crew heads to an abandoned Republic medical station to find leftover supplies. However, while there they encounter two new inquisitors, the Fifth Brother and the Seventh Sister. Connecting the Canon Zeb and Rex play Holochess. Sarah Michelle Gellar joins the cast as the Seventh Sister. Known members of the inquisitorius are lead by Darth Vader and The Grand Inquisitor and include: Second Sister (seen in the upcoming video game, Jedi Fallen Order), Fifth Brother, Sixth Brother (hunted down Ahsoka), Seventh Sister, Eighth Brother (in Star Wars Rebels), Ninth Sister (Jedi: Fallen Order and the Darth Vader Comic) and Tenth Brother. The first, third, fourth and more inquisitors have yet to be revealed. S2E6 Brothers of the Broken Horn Recap: Ezra answer a distress signal from a pirate named Hondo Ohnaka. Connecting the Canon Jim Cummings reprises his “Clone Wars role” Hondo Ohnaka. Visago and Azmorigan are also in this episode. S2E7 Wings of the Master Recap: Hera seeks out an engineer who has built a powerful starfighter prototype. Connecting the Canon Quarrie is a Mon Calamari engineer who is also seen in The Freemaker Adventures. These “mission” episodes in season two tend to be a little straightforward. S2E8 Blood Sisters Recap: Sabine runs into an old partner. Connecting the Canon Ketsu Onyo says she works for The Black Sun, which was established in “The Clone Wars.” An R3X droid is seen in this episode. S2E9 Stealth Strike Recap: The Empire has a new weapon which they use to capture Ezra and Commander Sato. Rex and Kanan must team up for a rescue mission. Connecting the Canon There are a few callbacks to season one episodes. Rex makes it clear that Stormtrooper armor is far inferior to Clone Troopers. S2E10 The Future of the Force Recap: The Inquisitors are hunting the children of the force. Zeb, Kanan and Ezra plan to find out why the Inquisitors want them. Connecting the Canon Ahsoka has been investigating Darth Vader. Kidnapping force-sensitive babies goes back to The Clone Wars. Ahsoka pulls out her white dual lightsabers for the first time. I really hope that season seven of Clone Wars explains why her blades are this color. Ahsoka remains very clear that she is not a Jedi. S2E11 Legacy Recap: Ezra has a vision that leads him to believe his parents are alive on Lothal. Connecting the Canon Clancy Brown plays a second character in the Star Wars Universe after Savage Oppress, Ryder Azadi. The show really doesn’t want to stay away from Lothal, which is fine since this is Ezra’s story. Tseebo told Hera that Ezra’s parents were in an Imperial prison. Ezra proves that he is more powerful when acting out of anger. S2E12 A Princess on Lothal
Recap: Bail Organa sends his daughter, a princess and senator, to Lothal to give aid to the rebels. Connecting the Canon Princess Leia Organa is played by Julie Dolan who also played her in Freemaker Adventures and Disney Infinity. BEST OF THE BATCH This week I watched far more episodes than in previous weeks. While I will still be picking one overall “best” episode, I have many honorable mentions. This week, “The Siege of Lothal,” the two-part season premiere, is the best episode of the batch. Not only do we get Vader, The Emperor, Lando and tease of new inquisitors, this episode also sees the Ghost Crew operating as a real rebel cell. We also get more Ahsoka, which is always a plus. Next, I would be mistaken not to mention the return of Rex as a pivotal moment from this week’s batch. Also, seeing that the Emperor is continuing to hunt down force sensitive children was another great addition to the lore. Last but not least, “A Princess on Lothal,” is my final honorable mention. There isn’t enough young Leia, or original trilogy Leia, in the current canon. I can’t wait for more. . "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker" is in theaters December 20. May the Force be with you, always. [email protected] @GrahamWoodMedia Spinning out of the #CloneWarsRewatch comes #RebelsRewatch. As we prepare for season two of “Star Wars: Resistance,” “The Mandalorian,” “Rise of Skywalker” and the final season of “Star Wars: The Clone Wars,” I will continue to rewatch the animated Star Wars projects and bridge the gaps between the past and present of The Skywalker Saga S1E8 Empire Day Recap: The Ghost Crew has a plan to sabotage an Empire’s Day parade on Lothal. Meanwhile, the Empire is searching for an imperial technician, a Rodian who is friends with Ezra, who holds secrets they don’t want the galaxy to know. Ezra deals with the loss of his parent’s who went missing years earlier. He struggles with Empire Day – His birthday – while on the run from the Inquisitor and Agent Kallus. Connecting the Canon The Empire’s HoloNet feed is something we’ve seen in other places in canon. This is one of the first times we learn about Empire Day, the day the Empire was formed in “Revenge of the Sith.” That was 15 years ago, and it is Ezra’s birthday, he shares this birthday with Luke and Leia. Ezra says he has been on his own since he was 7. Governor Price will later be shown in the series, but she is prominent in the Thrawn novels and Tarkin novel. This first season can feel sort of claustrophobic with so much of it taking place on Lothal. It wasn’t mentioned in my blog last week, but Simon Kinberg (who is notable for his contributions to Fox’s X-men franchise) helped create and write “Rebels.” Freddie Prinze Jr and Vanessa Marshall are perfect character voice actors. The episode ends with foreshadowing about what happened to Ezra’s parents. S1E9 Gathering Forces Recap: Continuing directly after the end of the last episode, Tseebo the Rodian begins to tell Ezra what happened to his parents. Ezra and Kanan must separate from the Ghost Crew while the Inquisitor is on their tale. They return to Fort Anaxes and face the Fyrnocks. Kanan, Ezra and the Inquisitor face off. Connecting the Canon Tseebo says that the empire is developing a tracker to follow ships through hyperspace. By the time of “The Last Jedi,” The First Order has perfected this technology. We see for the first time what happens to a ship that can’t come out of hyperspace on its own. Ezra is able to connect with the force when he admits his fear and forgives Tseebo. Hera rendezvous with the Fulcrum, Ahsoka, again. This is the first time it is hinted that Ezra might follow the dark side. S1E10 Path of the Jedi Recap: After Ezra taps into the dark side, Kanan decides they must travel to an ancient hidden temple on Lothal. There they both face new trials. Connecting the Canon The Holocron Kanan owns told him there was a Jedi temple on Lothal. Ezra’s trials in the Temple echo the “Clone Wars” episode with the younglings getting their Kyber Crystal. It also echoes Luke’s visions in the cave on Dagobah. Ezra says a Lothal nursery rhyme similar to Eenie, Meenie, Minie, Moe. Ezra thinks Hera, Sabine and Zeb don’t actually care about him. His deepest fears are eternalized in the Temple. He’s afraid of being alone and letting Kanan down. All of his fears help his character grown so much and also to establish this team as a family. Frank Oz returns as Yoda (which is weird after getting use to Yoda from The Clone Wars.) This time Yoda is a disembodied voice. He never leaves Dagobah, but he is aware of the other Jedi in the galaxy. Ezra follows the same floating lights as Yoda did in season six of The Clone Wars. The white markings in the temple in this episode are reminiscent of The World Between Worlds. Ezra builds a lightsaber different than any other we’ve seen. I’m eager to see how these bigger themes of the force play into “The Rise of Skywalker.” S1E11 Idiot’s Array Recap: Zeb loses a bet to Lando Calrissian and the Ghost Crew gets wrapped up in a smuggling gig across an imperial blockade. Connecting the Canon Billy Dee Williams reprises his role as Lando Calrissian. Zeb and Lando play Sabacc. “Idiot’s Array” refers to the winning hand. Lando is between six to ten years older than when he was last seen in “Solo: A Star Wars Story.” This is the first time we see the firebird crest, the Ghost Crews symbol which was created by Sabine. James Hong guest stars as Azmorigan. Azmorigan’s servant droids are based on the design for C3PO by Ralph McQuarrie. Puffer Pigs show up for the first time in this episode. Vizago returns in this episode. Hera notices that the Empire doesn’t want private landowners mining on Lothal. This is a directive from Governor Price. We see for the first time that Ezra’s lightsaber doubles as a blaster. Sabine’s artwork is starting to become a defining characteristic at this point and factors into the series later. S1E12 Vision of Hope Recap: Ezra has a vision of the future. Senator Gall Trayvis seems like a rebel sympathizer, but in reality, he is working for the Empire to lure rebels. Connecting the Canon Zare Leonis returns in this episode. Travvis betrays the Rebels and Ezra learns to discipline his emotions. S1E14 Rebel Resolve Recap: The team tries to find out Kanan’s location, against orders from Fulcrum. Tarkin and the Inquisitor interrogates Kanan. Connecting the Canon We see the Fulcrum in a hood for the first time. It’s clearer that Fulcrum is a woman. I remember wondering if this was Mon Mothma or Princess Leia at the time. This is the first time that Chopper gets fresh paint and infiltrates the Empire. It’s almost a running gag. Hera says that Mustafar is where Jedi go to die. S1E15 Fire Across the Galaxy
Recap: Kanan and Ezra face off for the last time against the Inquisitor. Fulcrum’s identity is revealed. Connecting the Canon The tie fighter that Ezra and Zeb stole earlier in this season was never destroyed. When Ezra was with Sabine in “Path of the Jedi” they were painting the tie fighter. Kanan fighting The Inquisitor reminds me of Qui-Gon fighting Darth Maul. The love theme plays when Kanan and Hera are on screen together. Hera has been working with Bail Organa. Their message inspired Ahsoka to come. Lothal is mid-uprsising. Enter: Vader. BEST OF THE BATCH This week’s award for best singular episode goes to “Fire Across the Galaxy.” Tarkin, Vader, the Inquisitor and Bail Organa is enough to make this a great season finale, but the reveal of Fulcrum as Ahsoka is the one thing that shocked everyone. “Empire’s Day” was another great episode, along with “Idiot’s Array.” As the story is ramping up, all the episodes are getting good, but if I had to choose one, or a top three, it’d be these. "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker" is in theaters December 20. May the Force be with you, always. [email protected] @GrahamWoodMedia |
