The final season of Star Wars Rebels has made its way to Blu-Ray and DVD. Star Wars Rebels: The Complete Fourth Season wraps up the story of the crew of the Ghost. The season has 15 episodes that continue the story of Ezra, Kanan, Hera, Sabine, Zeb, Rex, Pryce, Kallas, Thrawn, and of course Chopper. While going through this final season, there are also some excellent explorations into the deeper nature of the Force. Star Wars Rebels: The Complete Fourth Season was a solid culmination of four years of growth for this animated show.
Quality
Star Wars Rebels: The Complete Fourth Season is a tv show that both looks and sounds great! Every year, the animated Star Wars shows get better and better. The animation and effects in this show are incredibly enjoyable to watch. A highlight is the soundtrack that accompanies the show. It is beautiful and one I would love to get on LP to listen to on my record player.
Extras
The extras included with Star Wars Rebels: The Complete Fourth Season was a very pleasant surprise. In the past, I have found animated television shows to come up lacking when it comes to extras. This release was definitely breaking that trend. The extras were a delight to watch, especially those built around Dave Filoni. His passion for Star Wars and his devotion to doing it right was absolutely incredible to see. The Kevin Kiner bonus feature was also really good. This was a very nice collection that I look forward to going back and watching again.

Final Thoughts
When Star Wars Rebels began, I remember having mixed feelings about some of the episodes during the first season. With each season though, the show got progressively better. Season four was easily my favorite. Couple that with the bonus features included in this release and Star Wars Rebels: The Complete Fourth Season is a solid addition to one’s home entertainment library. I loved the character development and stories. I loved the music. I especially loved the exploration of the Force. This is definitely one to go out and get and easily gets a hat tip!
