Star Wars Rebels latest, Vision of Hope, dredges further into Ezras volatile feelings about his past.
The episode is a well-paced, self-contained adventure, but the dialogue doesnt always sound natural.
Ezra has always been a pricklier protagonist than Luke Skywalker.
Kanan might not be the best teacher to prevent that from happening and Kanan knows it.
Another of Ezras key relationships in this episode is Zare Leonis, the undercover cadet from Breaking Ranks.
Zare has been promoted, and lies to troopers to help the Rebels out.
Minister Tua wants to follow orders, while Kallus places his own, secular war above the Inquisitors.
He smoothly aligns their goals while asserting his own: We catch my Rebels, we catch his Jedi.
Its not much, but its something.
Several times in the episode, characters dialogue was strangely inflected or flat.
(We have hope.
Hope that things can get better.)
A giant fan used as an obstacle lacks any suspense, basically functioning as a wall.
Some jokes feel underdeveloped it isnt an inherent problem that You know what I smell like?
is an immature joke on a childrens cartoon, but it isnt particularly funny either.
Kallus thinking Ezra is named Jabba, though, works, partially because it refers backwards.
A little of Ezras dark side entered the now well-established dynamic of the Ghost crew.
