Star Wars Rebels was already some of the greatest Star Wars content in Star Wars history. But with the last season this series is given a stellar finale that provides a new perspective to the story. The characters, the plots, the story overall of family, love, sacrifice and ultimetely hope , it all ends beautifully. A circular arch for what Star Wars is suppossed to be. Not cheap action, but deep stories.
The final season is really good and delivers a worthy conclusion to the show. It is now the endgame as the fight for freedom for our favorite group of Rebels will be harsh, painful and has its price. All characters will face mayor challenges and there will be sad and bittersweet moments. It is my favorite season at the end. There are however also some negatives that will drag my rating down. Lets start with the negatives: Grand Admiral Thrawn is sometimes far out of character in this season (Too much collateral damage, to angry and a bit shortsighted etc.). It is like they put his appearance on another character and it destroyed the immersion for me. The World between Worlds is an interesting idea but also damaging. Think about how other franchise harmed their continuity with similar devices. Lastly there are a few moments where I disbelieved the story. For example the time between the conclusion of the season and the epilogue. It is unbelievable that there will be not the expected counter reaction in the given time frame (I am vague here to avoid spoilers). However there is a lot of good stuff too. The character development, struggles and interactions are excellent. The cast of characters of the show won me truly over and now it is the final appearance. The stories are intense, immersive and enjoyable. This time there will be consequences. Finally the conclusion is satisfying and the epilogue rounds up the show. I will continue with my favorite episodes before my final rating. “Heroes of Mandalore part 1 and 2” deals with Sabine’s past, the faith of Mandalore and brings in another familiar face. Sidenote: These events are essential and will be brought up in The Mandalorian season 2. “The Occupation part 1 and 2” for its story, characters and moral questions / dilemmas. Again I dislike Saw Gerreras methods but will say he is the only rebel leader who has recognized what is at stake and that they are already fighting an unavoidable war (There will be no negotiation or diplomatic solution with the Emperor that is positive for you). “Rebel Assault” and “Jedi Night” (Last is no typo) for starting the dire battle for Lothal’s freedom. Now it is getting serious and will bring the characters to their limits. It is really intense and closes a character arc. “A World Between Worlds” for the interesting concept, story and climax. Finally we have “Family Reunion and Farewell part 1 and 2” for the epic conclusion to the show. It is intense, has a good cat and mouse game and like I already said the conclusion is satisfying which is always something that can never be underestimated (For example, Lost, Game of Thrones and other series failed and were harshly criticized for failing in this regard). Overall this is the best season for me despite some weakness. However it is still good enough that I sing its praise. I will give a 9/10 and thank the whole cast for this show. May the force be with you. Always;-).
So we have come to end, huh? After Four seasons, I can say that Star Wars Rebels ended in a very high and good note. It didn't resolve everything I would have liked, and some parts of the ending left me with a ¿Really? feeling, but in general it delve deep into the lore and used it to its advantage all the way, and I had a great and fun time watching it. Can't wait to see what they do next.
