Series finale was double the usual length.

Spoilers:

A mixed episode. It felt okay to me, but safe, nothing too unexpected. Everyone in the squad lived, and Omega will go off to join the Rebellion in a few years (that scene was touching, but a little unsure why she she still had the same child’s voice?) The music throughout was on point too.

They went back to Pabu to live out their days, and the Empire never turned up there again? Okay, I guess. I’m happy they found somewhere peaceful to live out, but it felt a little weird given the events earlier in the season.

Poor Scorch. Just what was the point to bring him back like that only to use him in this way? That felt like cheap fan service. We’ve been told repeatedly how important it was for Rex to find Tantiss to rescue his imprisoned brothers held there, but then simply doesn’t appear? That felt a waste, a little cheap. There’s been many cool concepts, ideas, and plot lines that the series introduced, and yet most of these have just fizzled away, into that all too familiar vagueness. A lot of unresolved questions and characters too, so I’m expecting another similar animated series being announced soon.

Overall 6/10. It was just okay, some good parts, some parts vague. I feel it was a little empty or lacking. Maybe if I’ll watch it again it’ll be different.

I hope you folks enjoyed it.
