Star Wars Rebels Reviewed, Season 2: Ahsoka Confronts Vader, Maul’s Return, Rex Joins The Fight, Kanan & Ezra’s Grow, Hondo Ohnaka And More!

As live-action Star Wars shows have paused for the moment, our trio of rebels have continued with their review of Star Wars: Rebels with season 2! This is Maff’s first time watching too, so hearing his reactions is very interesting!

In more detail, this episode is a sequel to the first season of Rebels and the trio’s first RR episode, so make sure you go back and listen to that if you haven’t already, but in this episode, they discuss how season 2 feels different from season 1, it’s comparisons to Andor and the best & worst parts of the show (including sound design). Maff then notes how he’s been consuming far more Star Wars content than he expected, Dave talks about The Clone Wars and then they discuss Hondo Ohnaka and the purrgils. The trio then delve into Ahsoka’s character and of course, the finale; Twilight Of The Apprentice!

You can listen to this on any podcast app, or watch the video version at https://youtube.com/genuinechitchat!

Maff is @MaffUK78 on Twitter and appeared on the weekly discussion shows for Andor and The Last of Us, as well as on the Villains Super Draft: https://pod.fo/e/15d0b5 – A Dummies Guide To Geekdom, talking Dungeons & Dragons: https://pod.fo/e/1644e9 – and is on Spider-Dan’s bear-filled Grizzly/Prophecy episode: https://pod.fo/e/16274d
