Star Wars: Rebels Review

Itโ€™s Star Wars time once again! In this post weโ€™ll be going over the tv show Rebels, which ran for four seasons in 2014-2018. 

This was one of the first pieces of media aired after Disney bought the rights to the Star Wars franchise, and Iโ€™ll admit I didnโ€™t really care about watching the show when it originally aired. You know how it is; I was 16 at the time and didnโ€™t want to watch any โ€œkid showsโ€. 

The first time I watched this show was two or three years ago and while the first half of season one was more lighthearted and childish, I quickly ended up loving the series. It did a lot to expand the world of Star Wars. 

The show introduced a lot of new planets and history, and it added a ton of new aliens and animals to the universe that made Star Wars feel more alive. 

There were smaller animals like Loth-cats and the larger Loth-wolves, to the giant space traveling whales called purgill. One of the main characters in the show was also a never before seen alien. 


The Characters

Ghost Crew

The main characters we follow in the show reside on a ship called The Ghost. Theyโ€™re a small crew of rebels fighting against the Empire. 

Ezra Bridger

A young boy who was born on the planet Lothal the day the Republic became the Empire. He was living alone for a few years in a radio tower because his parents were taken by the Empire. 

Ezraโ€™s introduction reminded me a lot like Aladdin, but he quickly became his own person, growing and learning how to stand up for himself and his friends, and learning how to become a Jedi. 

Kanan Jarrus (Caleb Dume)

The first time we saw this character in the timeline was in the first episode of The Bad Batch. He was running away from the clones after his Jedi master was killed by them. 

Years later Caleb changed his name to Kanan, and joined the Ghost Crew. When they met Ezra he was reluctant to train him, but they eventually became close allies and friends and Kanan sacrificed himself for his Ghost family.

Hera Syndulla

Captain of The Ghost and partner of Kanan. She was previously seen as a child in The Clone Wars and The Bad Batch fighting the separatists and later the growing Empire. She basically has never known a moment of peace since introduced. She did end up taking the role of the mom of the squad, but her most loyal friend is her droid Chopper. 

Chopper (C1-10P)

I donโ€™t believe we ever see it, but itโ€™s explained sometime in the show that Hera found Chopper in the Clone Wars as a child. His Y-Wing ship crashed and she rescued him and fixed him up. To her, he is very loyal because of that. To enemies, heโ€™s a menace, and to allies heโ€™s mischief. 

Garazeb โ€œZebโ€ Orrelios

The tall alien in the group. Heโ€™s one of the last of a species killed by the Empire. Roommates with Ezra and friend/prankster to Chopper, heโ€™s the muscle of the group.

Sabine Wren

A young Mandalorian who went to the Imperial Academy and invented different equipment, but left once she learned what the equipment was being used for: as a weapon against her own people. She now focuses on art and fighting against the Empire, and lots of her artwork is seen throughout the show. 

Imperial Characters/Antagonists

As this is a kidโ€™s show, there are a lot of recurring characters in it and repeat villains. The following are some of the most memorable. 

Agent Alexsandr Kallus 

Remember the ISB from Andor and Jedi Survivor? Agent Kallus works for them, however we donโ€™t really see any of the bureaucrats like the previous entries. Kallus is probably the main villain of season one and part of season two, before defecting and helping the rebels fight the Empire. 

Grand Inquisitor

We briefly saw him in live action on the Obi-Wan Kenobi show. Heโ€™s the one in charge of all the other Inquisitors, and the main villain in season one. He fought Kanan in the finale, and lost. Instead of continuing to fight he decided to fall to his death warning them of what was coming (Darth Vader)

Maul

Back again from the Phantom Menace and The Clone Wars, Maul has pretty much lost everything and is hiding on a Sith planet. He is reintroduced as an old hermit who asks Ezra for help getting into the Sith temple, and quickly changes his demeanor after being discovered by Ahsoka and Kanan. During the battle at the temple, he blinds Kanan. He appears in different episodes afterwards, trying to convince Ezra to join him as his apprentice. 

Grand Admiral Thrawn

After the Grand Inquisitor and Kallus, Thrawn is the main villain in the series. Heโ€™s an incredibly smart blue alien, and no other of his species have we seen. He dissects the culture of his enemies like artwork and history to study them and learn their military tactics, which makes him very valuable in the Empireโ€™s intelligence team. He becomes focused on stopping the rebels before they grow too large, and the rebels only end up stopping him when they do something completely unexpected. 


Favorite Episodes of Mine

Season One Episode 10: Path of the Jedi

Struggling with teaching Ezra, Kanan took him to a Jedi Temple hidden on Lothal. There isnโ€™t much direct conflict in this episode, but itโ€™s very character driven by having the Jedi master and apprentice learn how to work better with one another. 

Season Two Episode 17: The Honorable Ones

This one I really love. The Ghost Crew investigates the planet Geonosis, which appears to have no life signs on it. Them investigating alerts the Empire, and after a brief fight Agent Kallus and Zeb get stuck in an escape pod and trapped on a frozen moon overnight. They put aside their differences until help arrives and Zeb goes home with his found family, and Kallus goes home to his empty room. Itโ€™s the starting point of Agent Kallusโ€™ defection.

Season Three Episode 15: Trials of the Darksaber

Earlier in the series, Maul escaped the gang and left the Darksaber. Itโ€™s a lightsaber made by Mandalorians and used as an icon to symbolize leadership in the society. Sabine found it and this episode tracks her journey learning how to wield it. This is another character driven episode because the conflict is internal. Sabine doesnโ€™t want the authority the blade signifies, because of the issues she has with her family. Eventually she opens up and accepts her past traumas instead of hiding them, and I think this episode has a lot of good character moments. 

Season Four Episode 10: Jedi Night

RIP Kanan. This episode pretty much is the start of the finale of the series. Hera got captured by Thrawn and is being held in the capitol building in Lothal, and the Ghost Crew has to rescue her. Kanan is oddly calm throughout the episode, as if he knows whatโ€™s coming. They end up rescuing Hera and running to a fuel refinery and the Empireโ€™s Governor shoots at them blowing up the fuel. Kanan sacrifices himself and force pushes them all away while holding the fuelโ€™s explosion back. Just for one brief moment, he regains his eyesight and sees his family. This is a really good and sad episode. 


Final thoughts

The show Rebels did a lot to expand the world of Star Wars. I have a lot of Star Wars merch on display in my apartment and surprisingly a good amount of it originates from the Rebels show. It is very kid friendly in the first season, but after the starting bumps it really found its place in the lore, and created something special. 

Still wild that this was the show Disney produced after canceling The Clone Wars that originated on Cartoon Network, but they eventually finished that series too. 


The next few posts will be all movies, and I want to try to finish up Return of the Jedi before the end of the year, so keep an eye out for our next topic: Rogue One. 

Star Wars: Andor (SEASON ONE) Review

Welcome back to another Star Wars television show. Today weโ€™re talking about one of my personal favorite shows, Andor. It ran on Disney+ for two seasons in 2022 and 2025. 

At the time of making my original timeline, season two had not been released yet, so in this post Iโ€™m only going to talk about season one. I do highly recommend watching the whole series though because it is very good television. 

So without further ado, letโ€™s get started fellow Andorians and Starwarsians.


Cassian Andor is a rebel, but he didnโ€™t start out fighting for the rebellion against the Empire. As a young child, he was living on an isolated planet called Kenari. 

At some point, the Empire invaded the planet to mine the resources out of it. A mining accident happened later, leaving all the children of the planet orphans when the Empire abandoned them. 

Scrappers discovered the mining wreckage and Andor, and ended up adopting him and secretly removing any evidence he lived on the planet Kenari. 

Cassian becomes anti-Imperial after his adopted father is killed, and at one point tries to find his lost sister. Two local cops confront him and try to get him to pay the โ€œtollโ€ for coming by, and things get heated and one of the cops is killed. In a panic, Cassian kills the other one and runs, and this is the initial plot point of the show. 


Cassian Andorโ€™s rebel path was pretty much set after that moment. Before we get into that, I want to talk about most of the characters we see in the show. Many of them have their own stories whether itโ€™s for or against the Empire. 

They can be categorized in a few different boxes related to Andor: Friends and Family, Rebels, and Opposition. 

Friends and Familyย 

Maarva Andor

The adoptive mother of Cassian. Probably the reason for Cassianโ€™s rebellious nature. Lives with Cassian on a mining planet called Ferrix and is very outspoken against the Empire. 

Clem Andor

Killed before the plot of the show. Was trying to stop violence at a protest but was blamed by the Empire for starting it and hanged in town square. 

B2EMO

The Andorsโ€™ friendly robot. A loyal droid to friends who speaks with a stutter, and often is nervous, but always follows through with helping his friends. 

Bix Caleen

Cassianโ€™s close friend and ex. Lives on Ferrix as a mechanic and is secretly in touch with a rebel radio contact who sometimes offers jobs against the Empire. 

Brasso 

Another close friend of Cassian. Scraps old ships on Ferrix and often volunteers to take care of Maarva when Cassian is away. 

Rebels

Luthen Rael

Luthen secretly runs a communication service to supply funding and puts various rebel cells in many jobs against the Empire. He has the mindset that the goal is what matters and that there will be casualties in the war. His public persona is that of an antiques collector living in Corusant. This helps him with the cover of traveling a lot for antiquities when in reality he is traveling for a mission of some kind. 

Kleya Marki 

Luthenโ€™s right hand. She runs the antique shop when Luthen is away, and also runs communication and coordination on different rebel jobs. 

Mon Mothma

Probably the secondary protagonist in the show. Mon Mothma is a senator for the Empire who is very outspoken against corruption and secretly funds Luthen and other rebels. She is a mother and a wife to another senator who she married in an arranged marriage.ย 

Her husband lives the fancy life as a partner to a rich Imperial senator while Mon stays with him just to keep up appearances. 

Throughout the first season, she is struggling to come up with more money for the rebels because her current source of funds is running dry. She reached out to an old childhood friend who was a banker to help her find some money, and his solution was to introduce her and her daughter to a rich mob boss and his son who was thinking about bringing back the tradition of arranged marriage. 

Oppositionย 

Syril Karn 

Syril is a hardcore Empire supporter and believes in the sanctity of the system. He initially was a local cop investigating the death of two fellow officers. His commander told him to ignore the murders. Saying they were corrupt and they probably were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Syril didnโ€™t listen, however, and discovered it was Cassian Andor who killed them.ย 

Syril set up a raid on Ferrix to try and capture Andor, while lying to the Empire that he has his superiorโ€™s support in order for them to send Stormtroopers. The raid was a failure, however, and Andor escaped while the Empire decided to remove all the local authorities and put themselves in charge. Syril was fired and forced to go live with his mother in Corusant. 

Dedra Meero

Dedra is one of the Empireโ€™s brightest rising stars in the ISB. As mentioned in a previous Star Wars post, the ISB is a government agency within the Empire who secretly monitors and assesses threats to the Empire. If a rebel group is forming they will step in and stop it. 

Dedra is still somewhat new to the ISB but she is loyal to the Empire and seems to be willing to cut corners to find what she wants. Some of her coworkers arenโ€™t happy with that because she is investigating planets the others are in charge of and has no interest in protocol. 

She questions Syril over what happened on Ferrix and they eventually become a couple after Syril seeks her out. 


Andor Season One Storylines

The show spent a few episodes each following a certain storyline for Andorโ€™s rebellion awakening. Starting out as just a guy looking for himself to make extra money, to someone who would risk it all to stop the Empire and save who he cares about 

Heist Storylineย 

The first job Andor took under Luthen was a heist on the planet Aldhani. Andor gave the group he joined for the heist a fake name under Luthenโ€™s advice: Clem, the name of his adopted father. 

The plan: Steal the quarterly payroll of the sector, which is over 80 million credits. Including Andor it was a team of 6 with another inside man at the Imperial base. 

Soon on Aldhani is a giant meteor shower that occurs every three years. The locals go on a trek through the mountains to their sacred site to see the event, which happens to be where the Empire built their headquarters. This was easy for the heist team because the locals were escorted by troopers, so half the squad dressed as troopers while the rest went out to eliminate the communications to prevent backup being called in. 

The heist went through after a few months of planning, but not without problems. Some Imperial troopers did fight back once they discovered what was happening, and while they did escape, their man inside was killed, and one of the rebel squad members was crushed by the money in the escape. He had an impact on Andor because he gave him a manifesto he wrote, and it eventually got through to Andor to fight for others instead of himself. 

Before that, however, another man in the rebel squad suggested to Andor that they could both leave with the money and make their own way. Andor shoots him immediately and leaves with the money he was promised for doing the heist. If he could just go and lie to anyone, thereโ€™s no way Andor could trust him. 

He goes back home and tries to convince his mom to go away together with his money, but she decides to stay on Ferrix. 

Prison storylineย 

This one is probably my favorite arc of season one. 

After leaving Ferrix, Andor went to live the private life on a vacation planet using the alias Keef Girgo. He was walking around the beach when some people getting chased by stormtroopers ran past him. After looking around him another trooper stopped him and arrested him for looking suspicious. Andor claimed he was just a tourist but he was arrested and sentenced to six years in jail on a planet called Narkina 5. 

The jail was one of many built into the ocean going down multiple levels. When Andor first arrived, he was introduced to the rioting deterrent: an electric floor. If it was set up to the highest setting it could fry everyone standing on it unprotected. 

His cellmates were already working, as it was a labor prison. As he learned what to do, each table was responsible for hitting a quota, and the lowest performing table is fried. The lowest performing floor as a whole is also fried so the floor lead, fellow prisoner Kino Loy, is responsible for making sure all the other prisoners fall in line. 

Andor was almost immediately checking his surroundings and trying to find a way to escape, and Kino was discouraging it because he was close to the end of his sentence. During all this they were trying to finish all the work their sentence required. 

One day they found out that the Empire killed an entire floor of prisoners. The reason? A prisoner who just finished his sentence was relocated and sent to another floor to do more work, meaning they were never planning on releasing anyone. The Empire is planning on working them until they die. And one person on Andorโ€™s floor did, which empowered Kino and the floor decided that they were going to attempt to escape or die and no longer work. 

During the introduction of the next prisoner onto the floor, they grabbed the guard and Andor flooded the bathroom. The guards in the other room activated the electric floor and it shorted out the power, allowing the prisoners to escape the work room and head to the wardenโ€™s office. They freed all the prisoners and opened the doors to let everyone out, but Kino froze because he couldnโ€™t swim and the prison was in the middle of the ocean. Andor was pushed out by all the running prisoners and thatโ€™s the end of the prison arc. 

Sidenote: itโ€™s later revealed that the prisoners were building pieces of a large space station.ย 

Revolution on Ferrix storylineย 

The final plot point in season one is where the citizens of Ferrix fight back against the Empire. 

While Cassian Andor was in prison under the name Keef Girgo, the ISB was in search of him to question him about the recent rebel activity. Andorโ€™s mother, Maarva was also dying. 

The Empire has removed all the local authorities and taken over, and captured Bix while she was attempting to reach her rebel contacts. 

Bix was held under interrogation and tortured for information. Not physically, but an Imperial scientist found audio from dying alien children who they found could work as torture to break their minds. 

Luthen also spoke to his team about eliminating Andor due to being a liability and for what he knows, so everyone was coming to Ferrix, Andor included for his motherโ€™s funeral ceremony which was a parade to the town center. 

The people of Ferrix had enough of the Empire at this point and fought through the barricades. Andor used this as a distraction to get Bix back, and they all escaped to the shipyards where Andor met Luthen again, and decided to finally join the rebel cause and work for Luthen.

This concludes season one of Andor.


Final thoughts 

I think this is currently one of the best Star Wars shows. To talk about the rise and fight of fascism is absolutely important these days. As I said previously, I will not be talking about season two during this marathon, but I highly encourage everyone to watch the whole show.

Tune in next time to see a group of rebels instead of focusing on one, in Star Wars: Rebels

Star Wars: The Bad Batch Review

Hello there and welcome to another installment of the Star Wars timeline marathon. This time weโ€™re talking about the three season television show โ€œThe Bad Batchโ€, which ran from 2021 to 2024. 

Originally introduced in the final season of The Clone Wars, they are a crew of โ€œdefectiveโ€ clones, hence the name. They arenโ€™t built like the standard clones but they each have unique enhancements and skills that make them differ from others. The crew is Hunter as the leader, who has enhanced tracking, Tech as the tech guy, Wrecker as the muscle, Crosshair as the sniper, and Echo who was added at the end of Clone Wars as he was turned into a cyborg by the Separatists. 

The show takes place soon after Revenge of the Sith and the extermination of Jedi from Order 66. In fact, the beginning scene is the crew of the Bad Batch and their perspective when it went down. 

They didnโ€™t receive the orders to kill all Jedi like the other clones, and were very surprised and confused when the clones turned after working together with the Jedi seconds before. 

They didnโ€™t participate. The Jedi master was killed, but Hunter chased after her padawan and secretly let him go. Crosshair was frustrated that they werenโ€™t following orders. 

After Order 66, the clones were ordered to return to their home planet Kamino. There they learned more about the start of the Empire, and started to see what the end of the war meant. 


Enter Omega

Omega is a unique clone that takes an interest in the Bad Batch. She is also a direct unedited female clone of the original Jango Fett just like Boba Fett. She has also noticed that the place has changed since the Empire took over. 

She tries to let the Bad Batch know, and when they were tasked with hunting insurgents against the Empire, they discovered that it was just civilians they were ordered to kill. Hunter refused to do it, and when they returned Crosshair reported them. This eventually makes the crew minus Crosshair to run to escape the Empire with Omega. 

Most of the rest of the season has the crew trying to find their place in a post-Clone Wars world, and not get caught by the Empire since they now basically adopted Omega. The Empire is wanting to capture her for some secret cloning project the Emperor wants. I wonโ€™t spoil the rest of the series, but a majority of the episodes are its own story of them trying to survive, with a long arcing plot centered on Omega.


Favorite episodes – 

Season 1

Kamino Lost: S1 E16

This is the season finale of the first episode, where the clones start to learn what the Empire has in mind for them in a post-Clone Wars universe. 

This is part 2 of a 2 part storyline, in which the Empireโ€™s Vice Admiral Rampart has just ordered his ships to fire on and destroy the cloning facilities and entire city of Kamino. 

The Bad Batch and Crosshair were still in the city when the Empire opened fire, so they had to find their way out and back to their ship before they drown. 

I really like this episode because it focuses a lot on what the season was building up towards. Since Crosshair and the gang split, there was a build up of confrontation between them that culminated in this episode. Crosshair admits in this episode that he stayed with the Empire because he thinks following orders, no matter what they are, will help him earn a place in the Empire and feel important. Wrecker tells him that theyโ€™d always welcome him if he decided to leave the Empire and join them. 

By the end of the episode, The Bad Batch escapes on their ship, and Crosshair is left in the wreckage waiting for the Empire to find him. 


Season 2

The Outpost: S2 E12

A Crosshair-focused episode. He is assigned to join a Lieutenant Nolan who hates clones to visit an icy planet to find and stop insurgents from stealing cargo their base is holding. 

A clone named Mayday is holding the fort with just a couple other clones who survived the recent ambushes. Nolan reprimands him and takes charge of the base, ordering them to guard the mysterious cargo. 

Crosshair and Mayday work together to repair parts of the equipment they have with the gear they can salvage. The Empire has not delivered any equipment Mayday requested. 

The base got attacked and cargo was stolen. Crosshair and Mayday were ordered to go recover it. They find the base of the insurgents and discover that the cargo is new equipment and armor that Mayday could have used if the Empire cared. They get caught in an avalanche and Mayday is injured. Crosshair drags him back to base and begs for a medic to save Mayday. Nolan refuses because โ€œclones are expendableโ€ and they didnโ€™t come back with the cargo. 

Nolan enrages Crosshair, and he shoots Nolan before passing out due to his injuries. He wakes up in a cell in an unknown location. 

I really like this episode because it humanizes a really serious character and shows the start of growth he will have in the series. 


Season 3

Juggernaut: S3 E12

The final episode I will talk about in depth as a favorite of the series is Juggernaut.  

A bit of background for this episode: in season two, Vice Admiral Rampart was condemned to prison because the public found out about the destruction of Kamino after saying it was a freak storm. At the end of season two, Omega was captured by the Empire and held in a secret location where a scientist was running tests on clones for the Emperor. A lot of season 3 is about The Bad Batch trying to find that secret location. 

Juggernaut is a fun episode because The Bad Batch has to reluctantly break out Rampart from prison because they think he knows how to get to where Omega is being held. Itโ€™s a very action packed episode where they steal a tank and drive it into the prison as theyโ€™re escaping. 

Meanwhile, Omega finally discovers what they have been testing: they have been trying to recreate clones with high midi-chlorians which are essential to using the force. Omega is a clone with the highest M-count theyโ€™ve seen. She also discovers that the lead scientist has force sensitive children being tested on in a secured vault. 


I do encourage people to watch this show. The characters are very fun and the episodes are a mix of fun action and drama in a changing political landscape that is approaching fascism in the Empire. It was hard coming up with a single episode to list with each season because there were a lot of great ones. 

Thatโ€™s all for this Star Wars post, but tune in next time when I talk about the first video game on the list. 

Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi Review

Happy New Year everyone! In case anyone was worried, I have NOT forgotten about the Star Wars timeline marathon. A lot has happened in the last few months; I moved states in October! Right after that, holiday work got INCREDIBLY busy and I had almost no time afterwards with work and unpacking. 

I have been watching a lot of shows though! Iโ€™m finally able to get to writing again so keep an eye out for a bunch of different posts while I catch up on writing!

With that little update out of the way, letโ€™s get on to talking about Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi


Episode Two: Justice

Episode 2 is actually the earliest episode in the timeline, so I watched that first when we got to it. It takes place years before The Phantom Menace and features Qui-Gon Jinn and Dooku, as student and jedi teacher. The two visit a small village where a senatorโ€™s son was being held captive, and they were tasked on negotiations to free him. 

While meeting with the farmers, Dooku sees the status of their lives and understands the reason why they kidnapped the senatorโ€™s son to be heard and receive help. 

The color tone is fantastic in this episode because itโ€™s all dull browns and greys, making the mood grim throughout. Unfortunately, the political system the Jedi are in made this complicated. The senatorโ€™s son is released and promises to help the farmers, and the senator himself is promising โ€œjusticeโ€. This signifies the start of Dookuโ€™s disappointment with the current political system. 


Episode Three: Choices

Another Dooku episode taking place a few years later. Qui-Gon is now longer a student, and is now teaching Obi Wan according to some dialogue in this episode. 

This time, Dooku is visiting a planet with fellow Jedi Mace Windu. A Jedi Master was killed on this planet while escorting a senator. Windu wants to take the body and head back because that is what they were told to do, but Dooku wants to investigate how they were killed. It turns out, thereโ€™s another corrupt senator on this planet! Heโ€™s been selling land to outside parties and the people living on the land are upset. The senatorโ€™s guards killed the Jedi and were going to force the senator to go with their demands to take back their planet. 

Dooku sympathies with them and is upset with the system as well, while Windu is someone who follows the rules. They capture the rebels and head back to their temple, where Windu is offered a promotion to a council lead, while Dooku is left thinking about what he wants within the Jedi order


Episode One: Life and Death

Opposite of Dookuโ€™s storyline, here we see the introduction of Ahsokaโ€™s. The colors are all vibrant and the mood is hopeful instead of dire. This episode isnโ€™t as character driven as the other episodes, but it shows the early days of baby Ahsoka before she became a Jedi padawan. She was with her family and a large wild cat had captured her after hunting with her mother. Ahsoka was not harmed, however, because she used the force to calm the cat, and the cat took her home. 


Episode Four: The Sith Lord

This is the last of Dookuโ€™s story, which takes place just after The Phantom Menace. Qui Gon has died, and Dooku is distraught. Thereโ€™s a female Yoda called Yaddle in The Phantom Menace, and she is never seen after that movie. This episode shows what happens to her. She follows Dooku to a hidden location in the city, where she finds him and a mysterious cloaked figure speaking with him. This is the evil Sith Darth Sidious, and he is convincing Dooku to leave the Jedi and join him because the politics have become corrupt and Dooku is tired of fighting the system within the system. Yaddle tries to plead for him to come back, but Dooku ends up killing her and joining the dark side. 


Episode Five: Practice Makes Perfect

Back with Ahsoka this time and this episode is showing her training and Anakinโ€™s teaching methods. She was displaying her lightsaber skills in a dojo against robots. Anakin was not impressed by it, thinking that itโ€™s too predictable. He took her to a warehouse where some of his clone troopers were waiting, and he set up a test for her to block shots that they fired at her. 

It didnโ€™t last very long. The clones used stun and got her in just a few seconds.

After she recovered, she tried again. 

And again. 

And again. 

She kept trying, getting knocked out, and then back up and eventually she lasted about 5 minutes or so. The episode ends with a scene from the final episode of The Clone Wars, where Order 66 was occurring and she had to actually use the training of avoiding clone fire to survive. Itโ€™s a neat callback to the Clone Wars show and helps explain how she survived. 


Episode Six: Resolve

The final episode of this show takes place years after The Clone Wars and Order 66. Ahsoka is in hiding because the Jedi are being hunted. Sheโ€™s on a planet as a farmhand and at one point, a stack of hay bales get knocked over and almost crush someone. She secretly uses the force to move them out of harm and tries to avoid being seen helping.

One person does notice and contacts the empire, and an Inquisitor arrives. 

Inquisitors are trained by Darth Vader to hunt down Jedi in hiding and kill them. This one is looking for Ahsoka and is not aware of who the Jedi theyโ€™re looking for is. The Inquisitor is no match for Ahsoka because she was also trained by Vader before he became a Sith. She easily defeats him and decides that she doesnโ€™t want to hide anymore and joins a growing rebellion against the Empire. 


And that concludes the Tales of the Jedi series! The first post of the year. I have some more series and writing to catch up on, and then weโ€™ll finally be into the original trilogy. Keep an eye on the Star Wars post hub page for the next update where Iโ€™ll be talking about The Bad Batch.
