Chris Cooper reviews Star Wars Rebels – Trials of the Darksaber… An emotionally charged and amazingly well acted episode, Trials of the Darksaber is not only one of the best episodes of Rebels but is the episode where I finally connect with Sabine. For a long time fans have complained about Sabine being a Mary-Sue. […]

Chris Cooper reviews Star Wars Rebels – Warhead… Following on from a two-parter that made fairly big connections between Rebels and the movies, Warhead takes things down several notches as we get a self-contained story this week. With the story focusing on Zeb, Chopper, and AP-5, the story makes the most of providing us with […]

Chris Cooper reviews the tenth episode of Star Wars Rebels season 3… Mid-season finales. It’s that time of year. If you watch any major series that airs around this time of year you’ll know the drill. The last episode before Christmas essentially sets up the back end of the season.

Chris Cooper reviews the ninth episode of Star Wars Rebels season 3… YES! Now this is more like it. After two episodes and over a month of poor to mediocre Rebels, An Inside Man couldn’t be more different. This episode has it all. The Rebels are fighting for freedom across the galaxy.

Chris Cooper reviews the seventh episode of Star Wars Rebels season 3… Having got through another two week wait for a new episode knowing of something I really wanted to see, I watched Iron Squadron in a rather excited manner. I need to let you on in something though. It’s not a great episode. In […]

Chris Cooper reviews the sixth episode of Star Wars Rebels season 3… Despite the rather bombastic sounding title and plenty of Mandalorian action, Imperial Super Commandos has a lot more going for it than great visuals. For a start the voice cast is great this week. I knew I recognised two of the voices so […]

Chris Cooper reviews the fifth episode of Star Wars Rebels season 3… After the personal lesson I learnt last week with regards to distinguishing between ‘filler’ and what I just didn’t personally find that interesting, I went into this week’s episode with renewed interest and a much more open mind. Perhaps it was karma. Perhaps […]

Chris Cooper reviews the fourth episode of Star Wars Rebels season 3… I’m really not sure about this week’s episode. My first impression was that it did little to push the story forward. So my gut was to call it filler. I hate filler. But I’ve slept since and had a chance to consider the […]
