Star Wars Rebels: Complete Season Three

Having established a secret base on Atollon, the Ghost crew, now led by a more powerful Ezra, strengthens the Rebel fleet by acquiring new resources and recruits eager to stand against the Empire.  However, the Imperial efforts to eliminate the Rebellion are now being led by the coldly analytical Grand Admiral Thrawn, whose strategic, tactical and cultural insights make him a threat unlike any they have faced before. Ezra and Sabine must take on new roles and challenges as the Rebels prepare for their biggest mission yet – a direct assault on the Empire.
Star Wars Rebels was created by Dave Filoni (Star Wars: The Clone Wars), Simon Kinberg (“X-Men: Days of Future Past”), and Carrie Beck. The Lucasfilm Animation production is also executive-produced by Filoni and Kinberg.
Featuring the voices of Freddie Prinze Jr. (“I Know What You Did Last Summer”) as Kanan, Vanessa Marshall (TV’s “Young Justice”) as Hera, Steve Blum (“The Boxtrolls,” “Cowboy Bebop”) as Zeb, Tiya Sircar (“The Good Place,” “Master of None”) as Sabine, Taylor Gray (TV’s “Bucket and Skinner’s Epic Adventures”) as Ezra, Dee Bradley Baker (“American Dad,” “Phineas and Ferb”) as Captain Rex and David Oyelowo (“Selma” and “The Butler”) as Agent Kallus.
My Thoughts


My 13-year-old son is a huge Star Wars fan, and he was thrilled when Disney came out with Star Wars Rebels. The series centers around a group of rebels who fight the Empire when they try to occupy their home. It brings is a cast of characters that includes Ezra, Hera, Kanan, Sabine, Zeb and Chopper. Some classic favorites still make an appearance, like R2-D2 and C-3PO. A small group of rebels take Darth Vadar head on to try to bring peace to the galaxy  There are 21 episodes in the first season including:

Steps Into ShadowThe Holocrons of Fate
The Antilles Extraction
Hera's Heros

The Last Battle
Imperial Supercommandos
Iron Squandron
The Wynkahthu Job
An Inside Man
Visions and Voices
Ghosts of Geonosis (1)
Ghosts of Geonosis (2)
Warhead
Trails of Darksaber
Legacy of Mandalore
Through Imperial Eyes
Secret Cargo
Double Agent Droid
Twin Suns
Zero Hour (1)
Zero Hour (2)

In addition to all the episodes of season 2, this Blu-ray set also gives you some great extras like behind the scenes footage and extended versions. My teenage son loved the third series just as much as the first two, and he is hoping they keep this one going a lot longer than Clone Wars.  The animation is great and the story-line keeps you on the edge of your seat. He can't wait to see where season four takes things.
