KANAN AND HERA HAVE BOTH FACED — AND OVERCOME — THEIR OWN HURDLES THIS SEASON.

Studying Skywalkers is an exclusive column that investigates the characters, themes, and lessons of Star Wars from an educational, literary perspective. In this installment, StarWars.com looks at Kanan and Hera’s growth in the first half of Season Two of Star Wars Rebels.

The first half of Season Two of Star Wars Rebels saw some major paradigm shifts in the overall arc of these wonderful characters from the crew of the Ghost as they continue to build upon the burgeoning rebellion. As an audience, we learned much more about Kanan Jarrus, Ezra Bridger, Hera Syndulla, Sabine Wren, and Zeb Orrelious, as well as Chopper. The continual evolution of these heroes range in scope, from profound to subtle, but in each case, the effect is one of strengthening each of them, and further creating four-dimensional beings who live and breathe in the Star Wars universe. Each and every week of this series continues to generate enthusiasm as we await their continuing exploits, and seek to connect the dots to A New Hope.
