Summary

With this pair of episodes, it seems accurate to say we've truly entered Rebels proper. Not because some production technique has finally hit its stride, or because we've reached some grand revelation, or seen a major swing in character development. Instead, it's because these are just two totally familiar, stock procedural episode formats: "Kid goes undercover" and "two people argue and bond in the wilderness." And good news: They're pretty good episodes! Not quite season finale level material or anything, but solid, fun, and well executed. And hey: space waffles!

0:48.6	They'll require what's that?

1:11.2	go back to the episode we did in our Clone Wars era on the box, one thing we all agreed
1:17.4	on was that the box would make a great school for kids, and apparently grandma of Tarkin
1:24.0	agreed because he built a military academy where the only class they have is the box.
