This might just have been the show's best episode yet. If you don't count Siege of Lothal since that's considered a movie then maybe, however Path of the Jedi was also good |

This wasn't the first time the Death Star was mentioned, that minister of Lothal lady hinted that the real reason the Empire came to Lothal was for resources, pretty much implied it was for the Death Star Also don't forget that crystal Hera and Kanan destroyed in Episode 5: "Breaking Ranks" That's a good point however I am not sure that's the actual Death Star crystal, seems a bit late to just be installing that given what we see at the end of ROTS. |

Makes sense. However i think it was more of a similar crystal, not the actual one. |

Path of The Jedi is a great one too though. Just like Fire Across The Galaxy. |

I imagine they may have had it in production early given the amount of time between ANH-ROTJ |

I bet that's the very first scene of the next episode. Can't wait! I just don't like how Ezra's able to hold off the Inquisitors so well (it almost looks like the Fifth Brother is struggling to fight them...). Well IMO Ahsoka isn't that good and these inquisitors just really suck compared to the last one so yeah I can kind of believe it. Yeah, but if they can't pose a decent enough threat to the main characters, then they're completely pointless. The Inquisitors were meant to hunt down the last of the jedi. If they can't even beat a rookie knight who never finished his training and a teen padawan, then how are they supposed to ever hunt down more formidable jedi? They exist for one purpose, and they can't complete it. |

If the inquisitors where real Jedi hunters then they would have a lot more training with both saber and especially the force |

Sure Vader is the true Jedi hunter, but why have the Inquisitors around if they can't overpower Kanan or even someone like Ezra? I feel Ezra is stronger than he should be, but they could fix that if the Inquisitors were just a little more of a threat. It almost reminds me of how Grievous is the head Separatist leader/Jedi hunter, but is always beat up on in TCW, which doesn't make him very imposing  |

But TCW Grievous we know he's killed Jedi he has tons of trophies, there's nothing supporting the inquisitors being strong at all |

So, the description for the next episode's been released. Ezra, Kanan, and Ahsoka go to the jedi temple on Lothal to find out how the Inquisitors are always able to track them. They each have different visions too (so that means Yoda for Ezra, Temple Guards/ Grand Inquisitor for Kanan, and Anakin for Ahsoka!). I'm guessing the last scene of this episode will be that shot from the trailer of Vader walking into the room with the two Inquisitors. Maybe that third Inquisitor will be introduced too. Then we'll have to get through those two droid episodes before the finale.

This week's episode was very good. Glad to see more development for Kallus since he was one of my favorite character's from the start of the show. The possibility of him defecting to the rebels would be interesting, but if it happens, it shouldn't be until closer to the end of next season at the earliest. Seeing him hunt the rebels a couple more times but questioning the Empire as well as what the rebels stand for would make for some even better development for him. Plus it would make his switch (if he does; it's still quite possible he may not at all) more convincing and realistic.

Yeah Tater and I already mentioned it Good I'm geussing this pretty much confirms his appearance for Season 3 I think he's dead, he was already an adult in TCW and was likely part of one of the very early cells against the Empire. The imperials probably put that cell down. |

I don't want Saw to appear. I'd rather him have died in one of the earliest rebel groups. Him still being alive would be somewhat unrealistic.

Descriptions for the rest of Season 2 have been released! It's all one continuous story from here! No more filler!  The Forgotten Droid: "When Chopper gets left behind at an Imperial outpost, he forms an unlikely friendship with an Imperial droid, and discovers a base location for the rebels." The Mystery of Chopper Base: "Kanan, Ezra and Ahsoka prepare to depart to unravel Vader's secret, while the rebels find a way to fend off the predatory creatures that occupy the planet." Twilight of the Apprentice: "After gaining information about the Sith, Kanan, Ezra and Ahsoka battle the Inquisitors with the help of a new ally, but are overmatched when Vader arrives." |

So I guess the new rebel base will be named after Chopper since he finds it. And that's where Sabine shoots those spider creatures. I'm just excited that the Ahsoka/Vader storyline will be featured for the rest of the season and not just the two last episodes! |

Oh, also, that "new ally" that Kanan, Ezra, and Ahsoka gain is almost definitely Maul.

I knew chopper base wasn't actually about chopper really... Anyways looks cool and yeah that new ally has to be Maul. My guess is Ahsoka dies and Maul takes her place |

So forgotten droid is basically this episode but with droids Anyway I liked the Honorable Ones. Probably the "deepest" episode so far. Most all others have been pretty simple with no like thought provoking stuff.. I wonder what the yellow thing was... I expected them to reveal it but no... I thought it was like an egg or something (even though that's not what Geonosian eggs look like from TCW episodes...) Yeah at the end it seemed like Kallus was questioning the Empire and his actions and whatnot. I also think he'd defect or maybe die while helping rebels/betraying Empire although I feel like we won't see that in the actual show... |

But it won't be until next season or the season after that if they go that route |

If Kallus does betray the Empire, it'd make him a similar type of character to Ventress. Even though Ventress never helped the Republic per se, she still fought against people like Dooku, Grievous, and droids.

I was thinking about my favorite episodes of Rebels since I watched all of it in about a month. I think my top 5 would be something like this:
1. Stealth Strike
2. The Honorable Ones
3. Call to Action
4. Siege of Lothal
5. Path of the Jedi/ Fire Across the Galaxy
I really enjoyed Stealth Strike and I especially liked the ending of Call to Action since the rebels didn't actually "win" for a change (the whole episode was still very good). Kallus and Zeb were great along with pretty much everything else in The Honorable Ones. Siege of Lothal had a lot in it, such as Vader, which made it great. Fire Across the Galaxy was a good ending to the first season, and Path of the Jedi was pretty neat since we saw Ezra grow as he earned his lightsaber.

But yeah, originally I thought Kallus was this show's version of Grievous, but now it seems he'll start taking on a Ventress role. |
