Welcome to the Legion!

The Blu-ray for Star Wars Rebels season 2 is out today and we got a chance to check it out early at Legion of Leia.  Here’s a look at the special features, in a season that boasted some major developments, including the death/not-death of one of the main characters, and some serious drama with our favorite, Ahsoka Tano. (Click here to check out our interview with Ahsoka herself, Ashley Eckstein.) The Blu-ray is seriously short on special features, so that’s a bummer, but being able to re-watch the show itself is fantastic. (It’s not exactly easy to find online.)

You get the full Rebels Recon which recaps the show, though you can find that on YouTube already. The two featurettes are short, though they’ve got some great info on Easter eggs (Connecting the Galaxy: Rebels Season Two). There’s also the piece with Dave Filoni talking about the big event at the end of the season. (Apprentice to Adversary: Vader vs. Ahsoka). Though there’s not a lot here, I’ll watch every little bit of information I can get. Plus, Filoni tends to drop hints when he speaks, but in ways you only see later on, once something is revealed. It’s worth a watch just for that.

Check out the official bonus feature/disc information below. Are you guys going to pick this one up? Let us know in the comments.
