Can someone give a rundown of what the Rebels cartoon has been about? Is it worth watching?
kid with the force who looks like aladdin
jedi who survived order 66 hiding as a smuggler
mando armor wearing girl who likes grafitti
twilek female who is a pilot instead of a dancer / ho
muscleman alien who is carbon copy of mcquarrie's original design for chewie
they basically do robin hood-type work; hit the empire when they can to pay for themselves and help out others; do odd jobs ala the crew on serenity or han/chewie; they run afoul of an imp agent and when homeboy has to reveal himself as a jedi, an imperial inquisitor - a step below vader - but has saber/powers gets called in to hunt them down.
few episodes weren't great; most were good, a few were awesome; cameos by many star wars faces, but not so many you wanted to barf.
underlying plot reveal at season's end is one of the best thing star wars has done in 20 years.
