Star Wars Rebels Review: S01 E05 “Out of Darkness.”

Darkness

The latest episode of Star Wars: Rebels is available from the Disney XD app. Read the latest installment of Herman22’s awesome series of reviews after the break.

 

As always there are SPOILERS if you haven’t seen the episode yet, but here’s a little taste of Hermann22’s review:

I’ve been pounding the table for this and it….kinda happened? So many Clone Wars references you won’t know what to do with yourself? Asteroid base? Confused? SCROLL DOWN YO!

 

“Out of Darkness” is another check mark in the lovely “character development” box. Does this episode deliver powerful moments where the fan base will be talking for weeks about the ramifications? Yes and No. But there is also NOTHING wrong with smaller scaled episodes focusing on learning about two central characters more. Or in Hera’s case…more of nothing. You also might be wondering “Hey!…Didn’t we get a buddy episode like this already with Zeb and Ezra?” and you would be correct. Before you get bent out of shape please know that the circumstances are VERY different and could also prove to be bigger reveals down the road.

 

As a fan of Sabine I’m especially looking forward to checking this episode out and, oh yeah, Clone Wars references! Here’s a sneak peek:

    In that screenshot they actually look like plastic barbie dolls. Remind me again why this animation was used for this series?

      The ANIMATION is really good. Whether or not you like the style/quality of the characters is different.

      Animation refers to the movements and facial expressions of the characters. And it’s much, much better than Clone Wars. The character models and quality of the graphics is a different argument.

    Fucking boring episode…and a wasteful one at that in my view. Rebels is a pile of crap.

      Ah c’mon. Lap it up, fuzzball.

    Atmospheric, but largely vacuous. The odd point of ‘arc advancement’ (Fulcrum) dropped into some strung-out shooty-bang-bang with generic space beasties does not a good episode make.

    Solid show, love it, and of course there’s a room for improvements, but so did The Clone wars series!…

    No it was great. My pulse raced a little faster when you see the broken up Clone Wars ships.
    Loved that!
    And again the music & sound effects hit the mark, so well done.

    Sabine is a wotlrthless character. I’m waiting to see her put to good use …or killed.

      Why would the Force have to awaken? It’s not a sentient deity, it’s a force of energy; like motion or gravity.

        Like, er, it’s fantasy! The force doesn’t exist. :0o

      it’s fine. Better title than attack of the clones or the phantom menace!! People should watch it before they say it sucks because they don’t like the freakin title. Like come on nerds….

          Any chance you have the updated premiere with Vader? It seems the only link available is the brief, intro-only YouTube clip which has lousy audio/video since it’s clearly someone filming their TV set. Why the hell is the Vader intro + rest of episode hard to find?!

    Neat to see a power generator at the base like the one targeted by AT-ATs on Hoth!
