Our Review
The forgotten Filoni verse show: Kazuda Xiono, a hotshot New Republic pilot, goes undercover at the Colossus, a racing platform on the ocean world of Castilon, spying on First Order sympathizers for the Resistance. The show skews youngest of the Star Wars animation: bright CG, broad comedy, racer culture cast, with the First Order threat simmering underneath.
Season 2 sharpens considerably (the Colossus on the run, the war arriving, Tam’s recruitment by the First Order giving the show its real dramatic spine, a friend radicalized), and the finale closes the story right up to The Force Awakens‘ eve. It’s slight by design, the mid tier Filoni show, but the early First Order worldbuilding rewards the patient. For completionists and kids.
Verdict: Watch it with young kids or for lore. Otherwise, Rebels is the “watch this” choice.
