When it comes to the Rebels of the Ghost crew, each one of
them has a past, has a story. Throughout the series parts of their stories are
revealed, and we get to understand them better with each piece discovered. This
episode, “Imperial Supercommandos” focused on Sabine and her past, her people,
her world. So before I continue SPOILER
ALERT, the rest of this recap contains spoilers.
The episode starts with Sabine and Fenn Rau playing a game
and also talking about him joining the rebels. He’s their prisoner, and I
honestly forgot about him since last we seen him last season. He is reluctant
and stubborn about joining the rebels because it does not fit his best interest.
The game is interrupted, and they are both brought to a briefing concerning his
men, the Protectors of Concord Dawn.
The rebels need to know if the route is secure so they send
Sabine, Ezra, Chopper, and Fenn Rau to investigate. They take the new phantom transporter and
Fenn Rau is tied up just in case he decides to escape. During the journey, Ezra gets distracted
while monitoring Fenn Rau and he overpowers Sabine and Ezra.
Once the two regain consciousness, they go after Fenn Rau
only to find him staring out over his men’s defeat and their bodies as
well. Fenn Rau is feeling solely
responsible for their failure because he wasn’t there for his men. They soon
realize that the ones responsible were fellow Mandalorians. These Imperial Mandalorians returned, and
Ezra, Sabine, and Fenn Rau tried to stay hidden but to save his friends Ezra
sacrifices himself and that allowed Sabine and Fenn Rau to escape.
While Ezra is being interrogated Sabine and Fenn Rau
overhear everything and he realizes that if he were there, he would have died
along with his men. So Sabine tells Fenn Rau to secure transportation while she
rescues Ezra. Unfortunately, Fenn Rau leaves them behind, and Imperial
Mandalorians surround Ezra and Sabine. This scene was interesting because her
family name came up again.
Family names hold power and history and Mandalorians are
constantly at war with each other. I’m sure that more will be revealed about
her families past as the series continues. For now, in this episode, her family
stands with the Empire, and they want her to stand with them. I’m not sure the source of this information
is credible neither does Sabine. She manages to fly off with Ezra with a jet
pack she took off one of the Imperial Mandalorians.
Fenn Rau returns and helps rescue them. He also decides to
fight for the rebels because Sabine showed him what it means to be a true
Mandalorian. With each episode, we learn more about our beloved ghost crew. We
find out more about the genesis of the rebellion and their struggle against the
Empire. We learn more about the
aftermath of the clone wars. So let’s continue to learn more in the next
episode. Star Wars Rebels continues with “Iron Squadron” on Disney XD, and this
episode will be worth it because of another anticipated appearance from Grand
Admiral Thrawn.
