In my last review, I wrote thatStar Wars Rebels weakness was its focus on its Jedi.
Williams sounds a bit reedy, but his charisma is undiminished.
Hes the con man making idiots of the rest of the crew, gradually except for Hera.
More on that in a moment.
Luckily, nobody in Idiots Array has an expressionless poker face.

Theres a lot of body language, and a lot of touching in the episode.
In one scene, Hera, Lando, and Chopper are trapped in close quarters.
Lando leans close to Hera, leans closer to Chopper and pushes at the obstacles around him.
By the end of the sequence, though, its Hera who has control of the space.
All that movement enhances the dialogue that explains the power dynamic between them.
She knows all along that Lando is trying to divide and conquer the crew to further his own goals.
Idiots Array is the closest so far to an episode focused on the Ghosts leaders.
Hera and Kanans relationship gets more screen time than ever before.
Kanan often takes a back seat, but his expressions show when he is uncomfortable or amused.
At the end, Idiots Array is about Hera refusing to play anyones game.
Its a fun, energetic episode that feels natural.
