But not every grouping created a memorable installment. Season 1: Episode 6, "Out of Darkness" The first season shuffles through combinations of characters in order to figure out which ones work so that all of them don't have to be on every mission together. They set the stage for how the characters act initially, but they’re nothing more than comic beats that served as teasers for a new series, not anything informative. Precisely none of them are necessary viewing before the pilot. Season 0: Episodes 1-4, Preview Shorts Before Rebels aired its pilot, Disney XD showed four brief shorts introducing the major characters for the series. It’s a rather brilliant sidestep that keeps a younger protagonist at the center while appealing to older audiences with world-building content.
The crew of the Ghost contributes to the rebellion but aren’t major players, and Kanan and Ezra continue the tradition of master and apprentice without the weight of continuing the Jedi Order on their shoulders. Like almost every new story since Disney acquired the franchise, Rebels references and takes cues from core storylines, but is mostly concerned with fleshing out new characters who can take paths divergent from the main saga. Rebels is an in-between series, so it’s clear where the larger plot ends up, but it’s not as foregone a conclusion as everything going on in the The Clone Wars, which never properly wrapped up. Imagine if Joss Whedon’s Firefly was set in the Star Wars universe, and you’d have a pretty clear idea of the type of story structure Rebels is working with. Rounding out the crew are Hera Syndulla (Vanessa Marshall), the ship’s talented pilot, Sabine Wren (Tiya Sirdar), a Mandalorian former bounty hunter with a penchant for graffiti art, and Zeb (Steven Blum), a Lasat who is the last of his kind and the heavy combat member of the team. Kanan Jarrus (Freddie Prinze, Jr.), a former Jedi apprentice who survived Order 66, senses Ezra’s abilities with the Force, and recruits him as a padawan. WIRED Binge-Watching Guide: Mozart in the Jungle ArrowĮzra Bridger (voiced by Taylor Gray), an orphan on the planet Lothal, encounters the crew of the starship Ghost, who complete smuggling missions and have a growing connection to the fledgling rebellion against the Empire.
