Welcome to the Legion!

In the constant feel inducing Star Wars Rebels Finale, we catch up with the crew of Ghost hatching their plan to save Kanan. With Hera taking the lead, despite the plan being crazy, they all decide that because they’ve lost family they refuse to lose Kanan. They decide to use a TIE-Fighter to slip in unnoticed but there’s a slight problem–Sabine kinda pimped their ride with her art.

They all agree it will have to do.

We cut to the Inquisitor electrocuting Kanan to find out the identity of Fulcrum. His methods to extract the truth seem to push Kanan to the edge by reminding him of how he failed his master and how he will inevitably fail his friends. However, our Jedi chooses to die over revealing the truth.

In the midst of all the action and intensity, the funniest scene was definitely when the TIE-Fighter landed and gets noticed by two on duty Stormtroopers.

“That’s not regulation” -Left Stormtrooper

“but I kinda like it.” -Right Stormtrooper

In that moment we were all Right Stormtrooper.

Hera, Sabine and Zeb work to distract from Ezra finding  Kanan but the Inquisitor was ready and ensnares the both of them. They get locked in the most intense lightsaber battle of the season, with Ezra and Kanan taking the Inquisitor head on. It’s super close with danger at every clash of the blade. Ezra gets kicked off a bridge and seems to be presumably dead which motivates Kanan to go berserk. Force pulling Ezra’s saber to his other hand, it becomes a dual blade fight to the finish. He disarms the enemy who hangs off another bridge, hovering over a certain demise.

“There are some things far more frightening than death” the Inquisitor says before letting go and meeting his fate.

Ezra gets up and he and Kanan rush to get out of the danger they’re in. They notify their crew to take off as they race to find a way out which is the Inquisitor’s TIE Fighter. “Well we know he’s not gonna use it” Ezra jokes, yeah they went there. Ha!

In space the rebel technicolor dream TIE-Fighter has Imperial forces closing in. Chopper is not responding on Ghost but then suddenly good forces appear to aid them and help them escape through hyper space.

Back on board Ghost, they realize that their ship was not being flown by Chopper who meets them from his transport with a message from Bail Organa which our droid buddy transmits. On it the senator explains that various rebel cells united to help them and this bit of news surprises our friends as they realize they’re part of something bigger and powerful that set to change their universe.

Oh and then Ahsoka gets out of the piloting room, revealing herself to be FULCRUM!!!!!!!

*MASSIVE BOUTS OF FLAILING*

Okay, as the finale comes to a close we get a tease at the new villain that may be set to play a bigger part to take care of the pesky rebel problem:

Darth Vader.

There you have it! Season one of Star Wars Rebels is wrapped up! Let me know in the comments below if you’re as excited as I am for season two!!!  Rebels was just fantastic and every character got to shine in this episode, you really got to see what makes them work as a team.
