Oh I agree. I think a lot of people, me included, had a hard time jumping from TCW season 6 into Rebels season 1, but upon my second viewing I really appreciated the first season as well. I actually like it more than season 2, which, despite some really good episodes, does IMO lack focus. Having the 1st season stay mostly on Lothal, although probably a budgetary necessity, ended up really grounding the series and characters for me. And I think many often forget just how lighthearted the OT, especially ANH, actually was, so I’m glad the show started out like that and then worked its way into more ESB-like territory later on.
