Star Wars Rebels: Overview and Review

I've noticed many people who are more casual Star Wars fans, aren’t familiar with the animated series, Star Wars Rebels. There’s a lot to love about this series, so I’m going to do a break-down of it and why I think it’s worth checking out!

Overview:

Star Wars Rebels begins five years before the events of A New Hope, and before the Rebellion has fully formed. We see it’s slow growth through the eyes of Ezra Bridger, a cocky, force sensitive pickpocket, orphaned teenager named Ezra Bridger. After Ezra has a run-in with a small band of Rebels who come to the outer rim planet of Lothal, nothing is ever the same again for either party.

The characters:

Ezra Bridger:

A force sensitive kid who joins the crew at the beginning of the series. Amusingly enough, his weapon is the Star Wars equivalent of a pea shooter. Ezra acts tough and cocky at the beginning, but he’s really insecure, kind-natured and a huge dork. He gets excellent character development throughout the series.
