Summary: <p>Get in fam, it’s time for the Rebels pilot! </p> <p>We’ve finally arrived at Sam’s favorite Star Wars show—Rebels. This week, we recap the double-header pilot, “Spark of Rebellion,” which originally premiered in 2014 as an hour-long movie.</p> <p>We talk about the critical reception Rebels received when it premiered versus its reputation now, which is a show for true fans. We also talk about the expansion of the Empire across the galaxy, how each Spectre is a part of the family and also a distinguishable member of a D&D party, how some people just grow up and start adopting dangerous street youths, and why Rebels is (and is not) a “kid’s show.” </p> <p><br>This is a great time to <a href="https://www.patreon.com/growingupskywalker">sign up for our Patreon</a> for bonus audio content!
