S01E13: Inside "Rebel Resolve"

In Rebels Recon #1.13, StarWars.com goes behind the scenes of the Star Wars Rebels episode "Rebel Resolve,” with creator interviews and much more! In "Rebel Resolve,” the Ghost crew struggles to find intel on where the Empire is holding Kanan. Ezra makes a risky deal with Vizago, and learns that the Empire is using courier droids to relay information from the ground to orbiting ships. In a desperate mission, Chopper goes undercover as an Imperial droid and discovers where Grand Moff Tarkin plans to take their friend: Mustafar.

So, you just don’t want people to know that.” In speaking with Vanessa Marshall, voice of Hera, Gutierrez asks if the Twi’lek made the right choice in putting the mission before her friend. “I think Hera made the right choice because it’s better to save many lives as opposed to one. When it’s time to make the big decision, like she did, you have to keep on track. It was hard, though.” And what will become of the Imperial courier droid that Chopper…disposed of? It’s not dead, Filoni says, but unfortunately, its battery will probably run out. For this week's fan question, David Daut asks why Jedi are treated as fairy tales, and SW Rebels FanPage asks if Cham Syndulla is related to Hera…
