There’s something about Filoni’s Star Wars sensibility that rubs me the wrong way. Having watched Rebels, it feels remarkably sterile, existing in this purgatory between epic adventure and serialized drama.
Before I have seen the 4th season of Rebels, I would agree with you. But after finally having the chance to see the (almost complete) 4th season, I think that it’s getting better and better. And don’t forget - he is the main reason why Clone Wars was as good as possible.
