Devil's Deal

It wasn't the best of the best but it's definitely one of my favourites.

I must say I am really loving all of the tie-ins this show has with both The Clone Wars show and Rebels! It really seals everything together nicely.

I legitimately enjoyed everything going on too. What I have been most looking forward to in this show is the transition from clone wars era to original trilogy era and they did some of that really well here. Ryloth seems to always be in some of the best episodes.

There's almost no Bad Batch in this episode... And I still ended up liking it.

In this episode we see some new characters and some we already know. It's always cool to see more of Ryloth because I always liked the episodes in The Clone Wars. Overall I can say that this was a decent episode but nothing great.

This episode and its follow up act as a prequel to the Rebels series as we see how Hera Syndulla starts out on her path to being a prominent rebel.

The Bad Batch only feature briefly, delivering weapons to Hera's uncle as he tries to foment an uprising against the Empire.

This is an interesting bit of background for Hera Syndulla. Most notable is the animation of backgrounds, planet surfaces etc which are phenomenal. Most beautiful looking episode.

My rating: 8/10.

This episode was great! It was very unique in a way I didn't see coming. This episode was not about The Bad Batch at all, Hunter and Tech had 1 line each, and Omega had a few, they also only had around 2 minutes of screen time. The rest of the episode all took place on Ryloth, and revolved around Hera from Rebels's parents and their troubles with the Empire controlling their planet. It was also an origin story for Hera's character as a child. In this episode she desperately wanted to fly an aircraft, and later she ended up being able too. We also got a nice interaction between Omega and Hera when they were looking around The Bad Batch's ship. Lastly, I knew I was giving this episode a 10/10 as soon as I saw Choppers head pop up behind he rocks. I nearly jumped out of my seat, I love Chopper.

From what I can tell from the end of this episode, the next one will also take place on Ryloth, and maybe The Bad Batch will help out. I can't wait for next week!
