Welcome back rebel fans to another recap for Star Wars Rebels episode “Warhead.” With
the series, halfway through each episode answers questions, continues to boil
to a climax, and gives more character insight.
Although this episode did not feature much of our main character, it did
not disappoint in leaving us in suspense. This episode does feature Grand
Admiral Thrawn which promises always to be a treat and had the best line in the
episode. So, for the remainder of this
recap SPOILER ALERT is not in effect do not continue if you have not watched
this episode.
The episode starts with a ship hitting chopper base and a protocol
droid being attacked by the spiders. Hera takes everyone on training operation
except for Chopper and Zeb. She leaves Zeb in charge of the base's security
while she and the rest of the ghost crew are away. Zeb not liking being left
behind with Chopper and another droid by the name of AP-5 must make the best
out of this annoying situation. But has the episode progresses it is far from
boring. Ap-5 ask for help in counting
the inventory and Zeb and Chopper both refuse and investigate a meteor crash
instead.
This meteor is a ship that crashed at the beginning of the
episode, and Zeb finds the droid and decides to bring back to base. The droid
is damaged, and shutdown and Chopper believe that it should be thrashed and not
restored. Which would have been a good idea but Zeb is in charge, so he brings
it to AP-5 for observation. AP-5 glances it over thinking it is harmless and
restores its power but the droid memory was damaged so it can’t answer any
questions. Instead, it counts the entire rebel inventory in seconds which Zeb
points out is faster than what AP-5 is capable of accomplishing.
Zeb likes the new droid, and Ap-5 wants him as his assistant
to get these rebels organized. Zeb is pulled away to receive a message from
fulcrum who we know is Agent Kallus. He reports that E-XD infiltrator droid did
not check in and is extremely dangerous.
Zeb hears the warning loud and clear and runs back to take care of the
droid before he can remember its function. Unfortunately, when AP-5 mentions
the rebels, the E-XD infiltrator droid starts to remember its programming and
changes into battle mode. Zeb rushes in, and injury’s the droid but it runs
off, and they are forced to think of a new plan.
Zeb, says he will hold the droid down, and AP-5 must shut it
down. Once they catch up to it, Zeb
holds it down while AP-5 very slowly shuts it down and another problem reveals
itself. The droid armed with a proton warhead and the countdown has started.
Chopper pauses the countdown, but now they have figure what to do with the
droid. Zeb asks AP-5 to reprogram the droid to return to its base with the
warhead still armed. Which would destroy any information it acquired about the rebel
base and destroy an empire base.
The droid does return to the empire base and once it plugged
in for downloading the warhead goes off and destroy the base. Agent Kallus
across the way can see the damage down by the rebels and is pleased and
impressed by their actions. Hera returns
to learn of Zeb faced Trojan horse scenario and pulled through a victory.
But
when Agent Kallus reports to Grand Admiral Thrawn who is also impressed by the
rebels he learns that the rebels base must be at one of the planets he sent the
E-XD infiltrator droids. This narrowed down his search and is also a win for
the empire. Stating that they may have won the battle but the empire will win
the war. That concludes this rebel recap
and stay tuned in for another episode tonight on Disney XD at 8:30 pm and
destinies will be fulfilled.
