Sooooo . . . because this show is wrapped up, and I don't want to do any spoilering of the final three episodes. One of the things that you can traditionally do is look back on the episodes that you really enjoy

So here are what I think are the best episodes

Season 1

ep 1+ 2 Spark of Rebellion - I think you have to put this here because it establishes so many things right off of the start. The crew and their altruistic goals. Ezra and his abandonment. The relationship between Zeb and Ezra that has to be established. Oh and that Kanan is a fricken Jedi. Go back and really listen to this episode, the music is spectacular.

Ep 5 - Rise of the Old Masters - Remember when Akbar screams its a trap. While the Empire goes over the top gruesome in using the corpse of Master Luminara as a trap to capture Jedi. We meet the Grand Inquisitor who's frankly awesomely done. We learn that Ezra isn't the only one who's fearful as Kanan fears that he can't train Ezra

Ep 10 - Path of the Jedi - We see the Jedi temple on Lothal for the first time, and after seeing the wrap of of the season, the purpose of the temple was sitting in front of us all the time, and we were exposed to it in little bites. We get the return of Yoda, and get the why we fight logic and why we don't fight.

Ep 15 - Fire Across the galaxy - Season finale, with a lot going on. We finally have an episode where every member of the crew has something to do. We finally see Kanan go full force Jedi and he defeats the Inquisitor who's final words are "There are some things worse then death". We find out that Fulcrum is Ashoka Tano, and I love her entrance. Oh and Vader enters the series.

Season 2

Ep 1+2 the Seige of Lothal. This was the Vader centric episode, and a lot happened in it. We see Kanan's uncertainty that he wants to stay with the Rebellion, the defection and death of an imperial Minister. Vader pretty much toys with Kanan and Ezra. Then he pretty much single handedly destroys a rebel fleet and comes back into contact with his old Student. This was angry I'm not conflicted I don't give a crap Vader and we all wanted to see it.

Episode 11 - Legacy - This was a huge episode because it answered the question about the fate of Ezra parents, and he became one with his new family on the ghost. This was a good emotional episode.

Episode 15 - The call - This episode was important because it showed how powerful Ezra was with his force skill in terms of working with Animals. This was also a really pretty epsiode animation wise. The Purgills or giant space whales looked great. It was a goofy episode but crucial

Episode 17 - The honorable ones - This was a Zeb specific episode where Qeb and Kallus get marooned on a world together and have to get past their hatred and mistrust for each other. The ending is the key, where Zeb returns to his family, and Kallus returns to nothing and you can see him questioning everything

Episode 18 - Shroud of Darkness - This episode was all about baggage. They return to the temple on Lothal, and again we are fed something that we won't see until the end, but Kanan has to face the Jedi Guardian who was formerly the Inquisitor who informs him that Ezra is a threat and has to die. In the end though Kanan is finally granted the right of Jedi Master. Ashoka confronts her guilt over leaving Anakin and he belief that she caused his fall. She also gets a nice bit of closure with Yoda. Ezra has another conversation with Yoda and learns that the will to fight is what caused the downfall of the Jedi. In the end the Empire seizes the Temple.

episode 21-22 - This was a beautiful episode in that we see Kanan struggling with his apprentice, Ezra flirting with the dark side and his anger. Ashoka meeting Maul again. We also saw the end of the inquisitors as they were completely wiped out. Vader returned and we got the long awaited confrontation between Ashoka and Vader. Ashoka swears that she won't leave her master this time, and for a second she breaks through to her old master, but again we see that at this point, Vader is still firmly hitched to the Darkside. We also get the line of the series when she declares that "She's no Jedi"

In the end, we have a lot to discuss. Is Ashoka dead, is Ezra going to fall to the dark side.

Season 3 and 4 to be posted later.
