Editing Star Wars:Rebels (section)

==Season 2==
The real reason that this show got a second season is that Darth FUCKING Vader appears, and he is played appropriately as an essential avatar of destruction ([[awesome|and is voiced by James Earl Jones to add up to the awesomeness]]).  His first act?  Carbombing the comedy baddie of season one, Minister Tua and blaming it on rebel terrorism.  The plot armor heroes get brutally destroyed, shattering them and dispersing the rebels from Lothal for a time. Such appearances from awesome characters are kept relatively low, due to the need to not let them overshadow the main cast. On the bright side, Another Clone Wars survivor in the form of Captain Rex also joins the cast, and the rebels get a new base. 

The Inquisitors are ok (one of them comes across as having a light attraction to Ezra), and ISB agent Kallus continues to be a presence around the show. The finale really solidifies the show's right to continue, throwing Maul into the mix, and having the epic confrontation that Ahsoka and Anakin were destined to have since the beginning of The Clone Wars series.

It's in Season 2 that the rebellion makes its appearance, as a collection of independent cells largely focused on system level actions.  Ryloth is in open revolt, Princess Leia is out on "mercy missions", and Bail Organa is bankrolling Jun Sato's ''Phoenix Squadron'', a renegade paramilitary force that assists other rebel cells.  Alderaan is pretty openly building the rebel fleet by stealing it from themselves.
