Best of Growing Up Skywalker
Episode 150: Rebels: "Rebel Assault” and "Jedi Night” (Season 4, Episodes 9–10)
"Jedi Night"(Rebels S4, 10) breaks the mold about what a Star Wars episode is, and we are left dealing with devastating fallout both on Lothal and in the hearts of watchers. We still have more of Rebels Season 4, but the stakes have never been higher for what will happen on Lothal.
Episode 149: Rebels: “Kindred” and “Crawler Commandeers” (Season 4, Episodes 7–8)
On all levels except physical, this episode is just wolves. We delve deeper into Loth-wolf lore in “Kindred” and “Crawler Commandeers” (Rebels S4, 7–8) as we learn they can step across space and time…and drop our intrepid heroes in the path of sinister Imperial plots on Lothal. As the Rebellion’s invasion of Lothal approaches, TIE Defenders may be not be their biggest worry.
Episode 147: Rebels: “In the Name of the Rebellion” (Season 4, Episodes 3–4)
“In the Name of the Rebellion” (Rebels S4, Ep 3–4) covers a lot of emotional ground. We see the Rebels confront the question of doing good versus doing what’s best for the Rebellion. They battle with a desire for vengeance, and weigh the pros and cons of Saw Gerrera’s scorched earth philosophy and Mon Mothma’s lawful good approach
Episode 146: Rebels: “Heroes of Mandalore” (Season 4, Episodes 1–2) (Season 4 Premiere)
In "Heroes of Mandalore" (Rebels S4, Ep. 1–2) we talk about Mandalorian warrior culture, the ethics of imperialism, the darksaber, and the importance of family. Also, it's been a long time since Bo-Katan crashed into her sister's throne room with Ahsoka in S7 of The Clone Wars, so we speculate a LOT about what she's been up to.
Episode 145: Rebels: “Zero Hour” (Season 3, Episodes 21–22) (Season 3 Finale)
In the most cinematic Rebels episodes yet, “Zero Hour” (Rebels S3, Ep. 21–22) brings all the elements of Season 3 crashing together. In our recap, we tally up the wins and losses for the Rebellion and the Empire, wonder what people across the galaxy think about it, and talk about the Bendu’s fate. We also pick our favorite Season 3 moments.
Episode 144: Rebels: “Twin Suns” (Season 3, Episode 20) feat. Tim Beisiegel of the FSF Popcast
"Twin Suns" (Rebels S3, Ep. 20) is a fan favorite for a reason—so join us in watching (and discussing) one of the best lightsaber duels of all time with special guest Tim Beisiegel of the FSF Popcast.
Episode 142: Rebels: “Secret Cargo” and “Double Agent Droid” (Season 3, Ep. 18–19)
“Secret Cargo” (Rebels S3, Ep. 18) starts off with a bang and finishes with Mon Mothma—last seen in Andor—calling for each rebel cell to unite. But to get there, the Spectres have to fly through a nebula, chased by Thrawn’s TIE Defender, and barely escape with their lives. Sam cried so much at all of this.
Episode 141: Rebels: “Legacy of Mandalore” and “Through Imperial Eyes” (Season 3, Ep. 16–17)
The darksaber saga continues!
Episode 139: Rebels: “Ghosts of Geonosis” Parts 1 and 2 (Season 3, Ep. 12–13)
In “Ghosts of Geonosis,” Rebels’ mid-season 3 arc, we do a deep dive into fanaticism, rebellion, and the meta-narrative of a character who has been in just about every single Star Wars series up until now. Saw Gerrera is one of the most puzzling and polarizing characters in Star Wars, and Ghosts of Geonosis pitches his rebelliousness against the larger backdrop of the Rebellion.
Episode 138: Rebels: “The Wynkahthu Job” + “An Inside Man” + “Visions and Voices” (Season 3, Ep. 9–11)
Not to dunk on it too badly, but so little of note happened in “The Wynkahthu Job” (Rebels S3, Ep. 9) that we added “Visions and Voices” (Rebels S3, Ep. 11) to our watch this week. Combined, these episodes show that there are two Boomers inside of you—a Hondo and a Maul—and you become the one you feed.
Episode 137: Rebels: “Imperial Supercommandos” + “Iron Squadron” (Season 3, Ep. 7–8)
Do you want to know everything there is to know about Mandalorian internal politics? You’re in luck! In our discussion of “Imperial Supercommandos” (Rebels S3, Ep. 7) we explore Mandalorian clans, the Protectors of Concord Dawn, family loyalty, treason, and responsibility. Star Wars was only mostly samurai-inspired before this!
Episode 136: Rebels: “Hera’s Heroes” + “The Last Battle” (Season 3, Ep. 5–6)
Welcome to a “Best of Thrawn” homage. In “Hera’s Heroes” (Rebels S3, Ep. 5) we talk all about the grandest art appropriator of them all—and how art theft is a theft of self.
Episode 135: Rebels: “The Holocrons of Fate” + “The Antilles Extraction” (Season 3, Ep. 3–4)
Fate in the Star Wars universe: Can you escape it? Does free will exist? All these questions and more come up during “The Holocrons of Fate” (Rebels Season 3, Ep. 3) as our heroes have to contend once again with an angry Maul.
Episode 134: Rebels: Steps Into Shadow (Season 3 Premiere)
And you thought we were anxious during the Rebels S2 finale!
Episode 133: Rebels: Twilight of the Apprentice (Season 2 Finale)
In the Rebels Season 2 finale, the Force users of the Rebels crew head to Malachor to find answers. However, between a new Inquisitor, MAUL, DARTH VADER, and a ton of lightsaber fighting, things get pretty scary this week too!
Episode 132: Rebels: The Forgotten Droid and The Mystery of Chopper Base (Season 2, Ep. 19–20)
“The Forgotten Droid” (Rebels S2, Ep. 19) shows the bravery and honor of droids and how metallic brethren become friends.
With a bench full of recruits and a safe base at last, we move into “The Mystery of Chopper Base”...which isn’t too much of a mystery, tbh. Unless you weren’t expecting giant schmonsters.
Episode 131: Rebels: The Honorable Ones and Shroud of Darkness (Season 2, Ep. 17–18)
Dive out of your escape pod and into an enemies-to-lovers DREAM. “The Honorable Ones” (Rebels S2, Ep. 17) strands Zeb and Agent Kellus on a dangerous moon…And there’s only one heating cube. ;)
Episode 130: Rebels: The Call + Homecoming (Season 2, Ep. 15–16)
Avast, ye scurvy spacelubbers, join us on our Moby Dick-themed Rebels tour! We start—well, we actually started our discussion this week with “Homecoming” (Rebels S2 Ep. 15), but bear with us, because we also recapped “The Call” (Rebels S2, Ep. 14). Our discussion there centered on the confluence of nature, science, technology, and magic, all of which intertwine with Ezra’s growth as a Force user and a true Jedi. And yes, there is WHALE RIDING IN SPACE.
