The second season of Star Wars Rebels managed to step things up in a big way. While I feel there were a few more filler episodes this time around than before, it definitely brought out a lot more action and interesting story details than the first season. We got old favorite characters and surprises galore (especially in the two-part finale) which left so many of us desperate for more.
While we have to wait until the Fall for season three, August 30th will bring the entire second season to blu-ray/DVD for fans to enjoy again and again, or check it out if they happened to miss it:
Star Wars Rebels: Complete Season Two delivers all 22 action-packed episodes of the hit CG animated series’ second season, plus exclusive, never-before-seen bonus material on DVD and even more exclusive footage on Blu-ray! Available August 30, this thrilling continuation of the Star Wars Rebels saga depicts the continued efforts of the crew of the starship Ghost to defeat the evil Empire.
Amid growing Imperial oppression on Lothal, the rebels are forced to seek out new allies throughout the galaxy and additional resources to sustain their fight against the Empire. With the help of Ahsoka Tano, the crew of the Ghost bands together with a secret rebel cell and ex-soldiers from the Clone Wars to join a fledgling alliance determined to restore peace and freedom to the galaxy.
