The Rebels bring the fight to Mustafar in a small-scale but satisfying finale.
Here’s our review…
The other half of the episode is all about the Jedi, as two Force-strong lineages collide.
Fire Across The Galaxy offers beautiful tidbits even outside its main plot.
A yellow-lit hallway looks like a Ralph McQuarrie painting, made even better by Ezras lightsaber cutting into it.
The ending is powerful, although it takes place far from Lothal.
Perhaps that is what Call to Action was for, though, showing the impact of Ezras motivational message.
Remember howI called that Kallus wouldnt survive the season?Not so much.

As usual, the Jedi are the crux of the season.
Its also interesting to see how much the Inquisitor iswrongabout.
Kanan doesnt really know anything about the wider Rebellion, and he presumably doesnt know Fulcrums identity.
The Inquisitor tries, though.
(You see it when you sleep.)
As it was, Ezra releasing Kanan was just a set up for the dramatic fight with the Inquisitor.
The important part, though, was that Kanan believed it.
Sabine brings that energy too, especially with her gloriously painted TIE fighter.
The season has been compact.
Next season is expected to have twice as many episodes, which will surely be a good thing.
Already Im fond of the smallness of season one, though, of the interconnectedness.
Fire Across The Galaxy displayed everything that has made Rebels an enjoyable show.
It could have been darker, could have encompassed more.
