When season one ended I was on the edge of my seat during the whole arc where Tarkin and the Inquisitor captured Kanan. I really thought they were going to kill him off, leaving Ezra masterless. At the time my friends thought I was taking it too seriously that they would never kill off a main character on a kid’s show.
Turns out the plan was to have Maul kill him at the end of season TWO. So close.
We just re-watched all of Rebels this past Winter. Such a great show. Possibly my favorite Star Wars. Certainly my favorite Star Wars not named Star Wars or The Empire Strikes Back. (Sorry Rogue One. And Solo, you’re close.)
