Rebels: “The Forgotten Droid” and “The Mystery of Chopper Base” (Season 2, Ep. 19–20)

Summary: <p>There’s only one crew member of the Ghost who hasn’t fulfilled their Season 2 recruitment goals, and it’s Chopper. Fortunately, he fills his quota this week—so let’s give a warm leg of applause to the newest Spectre recruit, AP-5! “The Forgotten Droid” (Rebels S2, Ep. 19) shows the bravery and honor of droids and how metallic brethren become friends.</p> <p>With a bench full of recruits and a safe base at last, we move into “The Mystery of Chopper Base”...which isn’t too much of a mystery, tbh. Unless you <em>weren’t</em> expecting giant schmonsters.  In our recap, we talk about friendship, the growing divide between Team Rebels and Team Force-Users, tough conversations with your romantic partner, and the ethics of piracy.</p> <p>Join us next week for the Rebels Season 2 finale—it’s going to be a doozy!</p> <p>Want even more Growing Up Skywalker?
