With Rebels coming to an end in season 4, we will see things finally wind up to Rouge One. Rebels, still pretty much stands as the only animated action show on TV, and in a day of age where most cartoons follow a more comedic/action approach, its nice to see Rebels be a certified Diamond in the Rough. Still im pretty sure we won’t see the end of Thrawn after this. My guess is that he and Rukh (his personal assassin) while be sent to exile, to come back after Return of the Jedi.

There are moments that make me think Hera and Kanan are definitely a couple, spanning right back to the beginning of the series, and this episode had several. If the Ghost crew are a family, those two are mother and father. Their relationship may not be physical (due to Kanan’s albeit loose adherence to the Jedi code, though Rebels would probably never allude to that even if it was), but they’re no less an item for it, and it makes their hard-won reunions all the more sweet.

I definitely got an “Empire Strikes Back” feeling from the finale with the Rebels suffering defeat and forced to flee for their lives. The season two finale directly impacted the Ghost family (Kanan’s blindness, Ezra’s taste of darkness) so I remember how well it tugged at our heartstrings. This finale is more about the military operation and other people made the sacrifices such as Jun Sato so the loss may not hit the audience just as hard. Nevertheless, I do agree that it was an exciting and emotional ride. Kanan’s final words about a hopeful future to Ezra were inspirational as well as their conversation at the start of the finale about life, the Force, and being a good person.

Thank you for bringing up the risks this show has taken to show the impact after things go wrong. Yet for all that does go wrong, we can’t take for granted the achievements of the Ghost crew: they went from being small trouble-makers on Lothal to establishing Phoenix Squadron and a full base. Similarly, the show’s protagonist has gone from being a petty thief to a brave Jedi apprentice. This is Ezra’s journey and while we can only speculate at this point about what his future will be, there is much to be proud of his character development over three seasons.
