FireflyInvadesStar Wars RebelsIn the Form Of a Brand New Bounty Hunter

Since Star Wars Rebels is canyon , it ’s always a big deal when they introduce a new fibre . This is a person , tool or droid that will now forever be a part of Star Wars lore and , in the late episode , they introduced a good one : Female bounty hunter Ketsu Onyo , voiced by Gina Torres .

To genre fans , Torres is best known as Zoe from Firefly and Serenity , and her addition gave Rebels a big battery-acid that classical Joss Whedon , speedy blast , back and forth raillery between Ketsu and and her sometime friend Sabine Wren .

In the episode , called Blood Sisters , newly minted Captain Hera gives Sabine a commission . She ’s to make link with a spy and transport the undercover agent to a underground locating . It take a while but she and Ezra – who tags along because he kind of has a crush on Sabine – find the spy . It ’s a gonk droid , EG-86 . Things are go smoothly until Ketsu arrives .

We obtain out that she and Sabine used to be great friends , until Ketsu left Sabine for dead on a delegation . The two engagement verbally , and then with blasters , as the Empire get air current that ’s something going on . Luckily , Sabine escapes with the spy , but Ketsu is in hot following .

Awesome cameo alarm . The transferral ship Sabine steal to escape was piloted by Captain Rex , the original pilot of the theme park drive Star Tours . Was this a canyon appearance of Star Tours in the Star Wars universe ? Maybe , and even if it ’s not , it was a nice wink to buff . insurrectionist loves that .

Out in distance , Ketsu follows in her Ghost / Y - Wing mashup ship call in The Shadowcaster . Again , she and Sabine go back and off like previous friends until , finally , circumstances pull the now enemy to once again realign . Together , with a immense dose of help from Chopper , they escape the Empire and get the spy to its goal : the planet Alderaan , where R2 - D2 is expect on behalf of Bail Organa .

That sounds intimate , right ? A droid with plans in it has been give up to R2 - D2 for an Organa ? vocalize a quite a little like the hatchway of A New Hope , but this episode was emphatically not Rogue One . These were other , much less important , plans . But maybe , just possibly , this was some kind of trial run .

Much like last workweek ’s episode , which focus on Hera , this Sabine - centric instalment did n’t quite move the overall story forth . But it ’s really exciting to continue to determine more and more about these characters . Sabine was prepare to be part of a group of hired assassins and bountifulness hunter call up the Black Sun , a group that Ketsu is now a part of .

How did she get to that point ? Will we get to see how and why she left to add up to the Rebels ? finally , I ’m sure we ’ll find out .
