Last nighttime was the midseason finis of Star Wars Rebels time of year four , and while it was light on mythology and mystery , it did ground that Hera Syndulla may be one of the best Star Wars characters of all clip .
Now , Hera was already jolly amazing . A fearless loss leader , ace pilot , and astonishing strategist . But she accept things to a whole other level in this recent episode .
permit ’s go down the list of astonishing material Hera did in last Nox ’s instalment , “ Rebel Assault . ” She led her very own Phoenix Squadron of X - wing into struggle . She single - handedly took out the problematical TIE Defender with a move that take her to fly through a Star Destroyer . She survived a crash landing . She thump the crap out of the very powerful bravo , Ruhk . She took down an Imperial walker and , ultimately , sacrifice herself so that a acquaintance could get aside .
That feels like enough valiance and awesomeness for a whole season , let alone a single episode . We ’re talk top - story , tier one Star Wars - ing .
Besides being Hera ’s sequence through and through , “ Rebel Assault ” was kind of the Rebels time of year four equivalent of The Empire Strikes Back . Our heroes are on the rivulet , someone is captured , and now a Jedi must economize his protagonist from the clutches of an malevolent villain .
And while I admit to being a little let down by the lack of major revelations in the first nine episode of this season , the focus of the story is very , very clear : The fate of these characters is on Lothal . And , as long as they have Hera as an ally , things will in all probability be okay .
Star Wars Rebels now take a picayune hiatus before pick up the back half of its last time of year in 2018 .
