Sometimes breakout shows suffer from a severe sophomore slump. Luckily, Star Wars Rebels: Season 2 takes everything you love about Season 1 and dials up the intensity and danger times a billion. The show picks up right where Season 1 ends, with the Ghost crew joining the larger rebellion. However, there are newer and greater threats in the form of Darth Vader and a host of inquisitors who are hell bent on taking out the rebel cell in the name of the Empire. With a longer season, you can expect that there will be some filler episodes of the Rebels crew embarking on various missions like stealing fuel, intel, or munitions that detract from the main plot's trajectory. However, these sidelines allow us to learn a great deal more about the characters' origins and how they came to know one another. It is heartwarming, adventurous, and will have you gripping the edge of your seat. The finale was completely mindblowing, and one of my favorite ends to a season.
