We’ve been praising the website Blu-ray.com for quite some time here on Jedi News when it comes to in-depth reviews of new Blu-ray titles. With the debut of Star Wars Rebels Season 3 on Blu-ray earlier this week, they’ve posted their full review of the title, which is something you’ll definitely want to read.
It’s truly amazing what’s come out of Star Wars. There’s little room for argument against the notion that it’s the biggest entertainment franchise in history, that original 1977 film having spawned seven more released films, several more in the making and in the planning stages, a few animated shows, a number of universe-expanding novels, even some video games that explore the stories more in-depth. What began as the story of a young farm boy discovering his destiny and defeating an evil empire has become a full-fledged universe of heroes, villains, and countless beings in between. Star Wars Rebels is one of the many spinoffs, an animated adventure now in its third season that has slowly but surely been bridging the gap from the end of the prequel trilogy to the beginning of the original trilogy. Season three sees it grow ever-closer to and draw inspiration from many of the memorable story arcs and characters from the more familiar cinematic Star Wars universe. Newcomers should be sure to check out seasons one and two before digging into season three.
