[center]Star Wars: Rebels (Season 1 Recap)

As I mentioned elsewhere, I really enjoyed the first season of
Star Wars: Rebels for a lot of reasons. The story may in fact be
somewhat simplistic as it basically follows the blueprint of
Star Wars: A New Hope, but that's fine with me. All the Star
Wars stories are pretty much the same. What made Season 1
standout was the animation as well as the Sound FX design. Looks
and feels as it belongs in the Star Wars Universe. The voice
acting was good as well. One of the smartest things the
showrunner did during Season 1 was to pepper cameos throughout
to keep people glued to the sets. C3-PO, Artoo, Lando, Darth
Vader all have their parts to play and made it better.
Definitely check this season out. Way better than I expected.

Browsing through my Roku channels/apps, I was very surprise to
see that the first episode of Season 2 was up to watch. I
haven't heard diddly squat about the show coming back or when it
would premiere. Doing a bit of research, I see that the original
airdate was back in April and that the second episode is
schedule for....September 2015. What the f*ck!!! Since I'm
watching Rebels strictly through Roku, I have no idea if this is
the norm by having air dates so far apart. I get that it takes
time to make a series with this level of animation and will take
longer to put together. I just thought that they would have more
episodes in the can before airing. Anyway, as far as this
particular episode goes, it was great because it comes with a
great surprise. In Season 1 we get a tiny cameo from Darth
Vader. In this episode we get a lot of Vader as he's the primary
villain (as he should be). Furthermore, we also get Lando,
making this feel even more at home in the Star Wars Universe.
Props to actually getting both James Earl Jones and[b] Billy Dee
Williams [/b]to reprise their iconic roles. We also get a VO of
the Emperor, but it's not voiced by Ian McDiarmid, but instead
by Sam Witwer from Battlestar Galatica. He does a good job, but
I would prefer that they get McDiarmid.
UPDATE:
Okay, digging a little bit deeper, I found out that Star Wars
Rebels:The Siege of Lothal was a standalone movie that premiered
at Star Wars Celebration Anaheim in April 2015. So that makes
sense as to why there is a huge gap between April and what will
be the start of Season 2 in September.

Is anyone else watching this? If not, you're depriving yourself
of something great. So far, this season has matched, if not
exceeded Season 1. I'm up to Episode 7 I think. The great thing
about the series are the small Easter Eggs and inside jokes that
help tie Rebels into the Star Wars canon. They even go a step
further in that department. In the most recent episode they
actually managed to drop in the RX-24 Droid from the Star Tours
ride at Disneyland, as voiced by Paul Reubens (it's a different
voice actor for the series). If you're not sure who I'm talking
about, it's the droid that "drives" and narrates your ride to
the left of the Screen. R2-D2 makes another cameo as well along
with a Power Droid, which I can't recall appearing until now.
Gina Torres unveils a new Bounty Hunter character in the Blood
Sisters episode, which was also a wink wink toward Firefly.
Definitely check this series out. Not sure how many episodes are
left for Season 2, but so far, it's flying by very fast.

Easily one of the best episodes ever for Rebels. A totally
different vibe and feel for this one. It's like they purposely
made an effort to do something different from the average
episode. This one had the return of Darth Vader. Yay! It also
gave us Yoda, Anakin Skywalker and the return of The Grand
Inquisitor, kinda. Very cool nun-chuck lightsaber he had. I love
that they are able to get James Earl Jones and Frank Oz to
reprise their iconic characters. This season has been
phenomenal. The previous episode was also great to with Zeb and
Agent Kallus having to work together in order to survive. Part
me thinks this is going to be a big shift in Kallus. It just
felt that he had an epiphany at the end that he was in fact on
the wrong side (The Empire). I really want to see how this story
plays out.

It's about damn time that Chopper got his own episode and it was
fun from start to finish. I'm not sure if they are introducing
another droid to the team, but it sure seems like it at the end.
The entire episode of course is very reminiscent of Artoo and
3PO's relationship. With Chopper and AP-5, it was very much like
watching a Laurel and Hardy short, which produced a lot of
smiles for me. They even managed to get me to feel sad when they
"killed" off AP-5, which led to a very touching moment between
both droids. As I said, the ending says he is alive and it does
look like Chopper now has a friend that will tag along with the
rest of the crew. I'm down for that.
