One of the best reasons to watch Star Wars: Rebels is how it broadens our understanding and knowledge of the Star Wars universe. The show is wonderful on its own merit, but the bridge it creates between the Original Trilogy, the Prequels and Clone Wars makes it almost required watching for any fan.
Rebels is a REALLY good TV show (the season 2 finale was fantastic!), but I have to admit I still miss Clone Wars (BOTH series). Perhaps this is because the 2 Clone Wars were darker than Rebels has been up to this point… (which is probably why I thought the scary season finale of Rebels was so awesome). The best 3 characters to come out of Clone Wars are Ahsoka, Asajj Ventress and of course CT-7567 (Rex) – and our whole family is thrilled that 2 of those characters are back in Rebels.
