This is when Rebels goes into full 10/10 classic Star Wars territory. Clone Wars managed it quite a few times and this is the first time Rebels reaches that phenomenal level of powerful storytelling and magical connection that makes me watch in wonder like a little child.
First we see Kanan and Ezra leaving their crew to go on the dangerous mission with Ahsoka to the Sith world Yoda directed them to seek. Then when they arrive they find dangers including an Inquisitor we have not met before (who is really cool). But best of all when Ezra is separated from the others he meets a mysterious figure whose real identity is hugely exciting.
This is dark, suspenseful, brilliant storytelling and nerve tingling viewing.
The animation has now moved on from the early Rebels level and there is some seriously beautiful animation in this. The music, which is great throughout Rebels is also fantastic.
Hugely valuable as part of the overall Star Wars story and expertly put together.
The most amazing thing is that the next episode would turn out to be even better!
My rating: 10/10.
