ONE LAST LESSON — THAT REVERBERATES THROUGHOUT STAR WARS.

As the dust settles on the series finale of Star Wars Rebels, we’re left to look at what it’s added to the tapestry of the broader mythology of Star Wars. Taking that closer look, the ending of Rebels was emotional and hopeful, and fits beautifully with the things that make Star Wars so important.

The final episodes, particularly series finale “Family Reunion – and Farewell,” hone in on Ezra Bridger and his journey as a responsible wielder of the Force, and it echoes Luke’s trials through Return of the Jedi, as well as Anakin’s temptations to the dark side in Revenge of the Sith. Where Luke has to work to save the galaxy by saving his father, Ezra has to save Lothal by saving his friends. Both of them learn that sometimes, the best way to save your friends and the things you love is to sacrifice yourself. It brings to mind Rose Tico’s last line in The Last Jedi in the most heartbreaking and beautiful ways.

FROM THE BEGINNING, THE SHOW HAS BEEN A TALE OF FAMILIES LOST AND FOUND.

The crew of the Ghost in Star Wars Rebels has always been a family. They aren’t related to one another and they didn’t come from the same home worlds, but they are bound together by a common cause, respect, trust, and love.

Like all families they fight. They bicker. They keep secrets from and confide in one another. They ask for help. And they risk their lives to keep each other safe time and time again. Even though they mostly stick together in Rebels storylines, Ezra, Kanan, Hera, Zeb, and Sabine have also had to confront their individual pasts to be able to come back to their Ghost family stronger than ever. With the final episodes of Star Wars Rebels airing tonight, starting at 8:30 p.m. ET/PT on Disney XD, here’s a look at how they became a true Star Wars family.

Star Wars Rebels: Every Voice Heard In The World Between Worlds

Warning! SPOILERS for Star Wars Rebels Season 4 ahead!

The latest episode of Star Wars Rebels features voices cameos from nearly a dozen classic Star Wars characters – and we’re going to break down who they were and where their lines came from.

The final season of Star Wars Rebels has been full of surprises, from Kanan’s shocking death to Ahsoka’s surprising return. But beyond just shocking fans with big moments, Rebels has also been reflecting on how far its characters have come and what its place will be within the Star Wars saga. In tonight’s episodes, that reflection comes through in the form of visions and voices.

The visions appear in tonight’s first episode, “Wolves And A Door”, when Ezra, Sabine, Hera, Zeb, and Chopper travel with the Loth wolves through a hyperspace tunnel to the Jedi Temple. While inside the tunnel, images from previous seasons flash before them. Primarily, these visions show moments from the earliest interactions between Ezra and the Ghost Crew, but they also show moments where Kanan embraces his Jedi training and begins passing it on to Ezra. These are fundamental moments from the series – especially for Kanan and Ezra’s relationship – and they remind us how close-knit a family the Ghost crew really became over these past four seasons.

As for the voices, these can be heard in tonight’s second episode, “A World Between Worlds”, when Ezra opens the portal to the surreal Force realm that exists outside of time and space. The biggest clue that this place isn’t of the normal universe are the voices Ezra can hear talking – snippets of lines heard in Star Wars Rebels, yes, but also other in other Star Wars films that come both before and after.
