star wars rebels season 3 episode 14 warhead

Zeb is left in charge of the station with Chopper and AP-5 while the Ghost crew goes off to handle a mission. “Warhead” is a thoroughly disappointing episode that has about five minutes of thrilling watchability while squandering everything else to hell. It’s understandable that that’s a difficult task across twenty-two episodes and there’s a risk of redundancy there, but the writers nevertheless ought to be able to overcome those problems with results that are better than what is on display in “Warhead.” While the Thrawn storyline is touched on briefly here at the end of the episode, neither of the three has been consistently drawn to give the show a consistency. A third is looking to be Sabine’s Mandalorian past, a vista that the show has successfully visited once. The two overarching threads of the season so far seem to be the attempts of Grand Admiral Thrawn to defeat the Rebels by learning about their strategies and their beings and Ezra’s battles with the Dark Side. That is particularly grating but regardless of the specific circumstance, when the natural flow of a story is punctured outside of the usual breaks, it’s difficult for the season as a whole to come together effectively. In some cases, such as with last week’s two-parter, the airing of the episode depends on external factors like related films, series, and merchandising. Certain storylines will take precedent over others based on the airing of the episode and as irritating as this can be, storylines that really ought to be at the center of the proceedings take a back seat so they can be used as midseason or season finales. That disappointment is felt even further when the episode in question is a filler one, an unfortunate byproduct of there being twenty-two episodes in a season. The most upsetting aspect of Star Wars Rebels is how often it misses the opportunity to add to the mythology of the galaxy George Lucas created.
