[No spoilers, I hope, but I can’t speak for the comments.]<\/em><\/p>\n

The kid and I watched the final six episodes of Star Wars Rebels<\/i> last night, which were tremendously fine, lots of fun, wrapped up a ton of plot points, set up some new ones for a future David Filoni production, and revealed the secret behind the voice of Chopper.<\/p>\n

All in all, good stuff.<\/p>\n

The finale episode<\/a>\u00a0…\u00a0Some Q&A<\/a>: …\u00a0Rebels Recon<\/a> (with an interview of Filoni)<\/p>\n

When Rebels<\/i> started up (in the premature ashes of Clone Wars),<\/i> I enjoyed it but was a bit disappointed for the narrower scope, the focus on the kid, the apparent Disneyfication of the tale. But even if that was an accurate description at the time, the saga grew substantially over the years into something really, really cool, pulling in elements from Clone Wars<\/i> (and other bits of Star Wars lore) and making a something quite enjoyable.<\/p>\n

I’ll miss it, but I’m glad it had an awesome wrap-up.<\/p>\n
