If you haven’t watched “Star Wars Rebels,” you might want to give it a go. As much as I love “The Mandalorian,” the emotional journey of Rebels surpasses it. And that really all starts in Season 2, when things start to go sideways for our heroes (isn’t that always how it goes?).
Scroll down for the synopsis and player.
On this, the 36th episode of the WhoDatJedi podcast, your hosts — Aaron Svoboda (@Aaron_Svoboda), Alfredo Narvaez (@NOLA_Fredo) and David Gladow (@davegladow) — dive into Season 2 of “Star Wars Rebels,” the animated series that takes place between Episodes III & IV. Rather than going episode by episode, the discussion delves into specific topics like the continued inclusion of classic characters, Season 2’s overall variance from Season 1, including its devotion to “Clone Wars” legacy storylines (at the exclusion of new characters?), and which episodes work the best — cough, “Twilight of the Apprentice,” cough — as well as which ones don’t (space whales). Your hosts also relate the topic back to the news of the new series “The Bad Batch” and tackle the issues surrounding digitizing Star Wars content for Disney+.
