Man. I gotta give Dave huge props as usual.

When I heard they were coming to Rebels, I was super excited. I was really glad that they were mostly ignoring all the bullshit fanfiction crap Karen Traviss had written about them, but when I heard about the pacifist angle, I was disappointed but willing to hear them out.

The first few episodes with Satine and the pacifist Mandalorians did not fill me with hope, but by the end of series and the Mandalorian arc, I was totally blown away. Fantastic development for several big characters and Mandalore itself. Some of the best Star Wars ever written, I’d argue.

And now with Rebels, that’s all showing signs of continuing. I really dug the first episodes with Fenn Rau, and was glad to see him come back. He’s a cool guy, so it’ll be neat to see where they take him as the show progresses.

And Sabine I was also iffy on coming into the show, but after this episode she’s definitely a certified badass. It’s cool to see her coming into her own.
