Summary

Rebels Season 3 comes to a close with a trio of episodes that demonstrates just how far the Star Wars Animation team has come as a group of visual storytellers. Twin Suns brings us to Tatooine as hostile and hopeless as its ever been seen for a final confrontation between two series standbys (and a totally fine Ezra arc about family and fate). Zero Hour gives us Thrawn at the height of victory and vulnerability. The stage is set for the final season... which we'll be bringing to you over the next two months in four episode chunks, so that we're ready to leap headfirst into Andor Season 2 when it debuts in late April!

0:38.2	A trailer for the upcoming season just dropped.
0:40.9	And so before we dig into this week's Rebels episodes, it is time for us to gather as a panel
0:46.9	around a highly compressed Discord stream.
0:49.6	That's not a highly compressed YouTube trailer to see what we can glean.
0:53.8	My suspicion is Andor's big bad this season, macro blocking.
1:00.3	Our audience won't mind if we pause rebels just one more time, just for one little
1:07.1	second for us to watch the trailer.
1:10.5	That was our hope, but Austin was overwhelmed by excitement and dropped from the call as we, and now, oh my goodness, big, we're getting an RTC connecting error.
1:22.1	Oh, no.
1:23.1	This is the ISB trying to hold us back.
