STAR WARS REBELS S4

It’s a wrap for the pre-Ep IV adventures of the Ghost crew. Some characters already have their names on Rogue One Easter eggs, but what fate awaits the rest (not to mention a certain Thrawn in our heroes’ side)? That question raises the stakes even as the narrative narrows its focus; the Rebels’ mission to liberate one planet seems positively intimate by Star Wars standards. Some business with talking wolves makes you thankful this isn’t live action, but this is a strong finish for a show that’s sometimes struggled to slip the shadow of its Clone Wars predecessor.
