Star Wars Rebels Reaction: HOLY SITH!

That was awesome!! Last night's season 1 finale of Star Wars Rebels was amazing. It was by-far the best episode yet. I thought it did a great job turning the tone of the show in a new directions, which in my opinion is better than what the show started as. In one shot the show became a little more serious and felt like what The Clone Wars was. I'm still convinced that Ezra will be connected to Kylo Ren in some way, but I'm glad they didn't jump to that right away. Instead we are going to get at least 1 more season with Ezra learning about the force and how to be a Jedi. Plus I think he is going to have someone else to go to for advice because.... AHSOKA TANO returned.

Ahsoka's departure from The Clone Wars was always weird in my mind. They seemed to write her off and then never really dealt with it. I always felt that there was more to her character and that she was meant for something greater than being a temporary character relation with Anakin. Now she is front and center as one of the founders of the Rebellion and I love that. Gives her character greater importance and allows for her to help train new Jedi. The other reason I am excited is because of VADER. That's right, Darth Vader has returned to our screens and the way that they did his return makes it seem that Vader will be sticking around for a while. This would be great! And I am totally looking forward to the inevitable confrontation and battle between Vader and Ahsoka. It has to happen! But I also want to know if Ahsoka knows that Vader is Anakin. If she doesn't, there could be a Empire Strikes Back like moment where Vader reveals his true identity to Ahsoka. The potential storylines dealing with ramifications of Ahsoka's former master being a dark lord of the Sith. I think it could be epic.

Rebels season 2 is set up to be great and I hope it shows up sooner rather than later. I want to know what happens next. Plus its the only thing that can appease my desire for new Star Wars content until the new film. Good thing Agents of SHIELD returns tonight. I need the distraction!
