Grand Moff Tarkin (Stephen Stanton) wonders what assets are needed to face the rebel insurgency. He reasons that with Kanan gone, he must be stronger to save them all. In a seductive female voice, it promises more power. Hidden under a helmet is the Sith Holocron. Wasn't he the mission? He retreats to his room. She criticizes Ezra for letting Turbo run off and get killed. Hera (Vanessa Marshal) retrieves them in the Ghost. He has clearly grown much stronger in the dark side. She remarks never having seen Kanan (Freddie Prinze Jr.) teach him that power. Ezra uses the force to take control of the driver, kill the remaining troopers, and plunge it off a ledge. The team frees Hondo and Turbo, an Ugnaught who's quickly blown up by a Walker. Ezra shreds the stormtroopers like lettuce. They are there to rescue Hondo (Jim Cunnings). Ezra has grown, looks older, even a bit fearsome with his shorter hair. Steps into Shadow opens with Ezra, Sabine (Tya Sircar), Zeb (Steve Blum), and Chopper breaking into an imperial prison. Cue the goosebumps, anyone who's read Heir to the Empire knows how formidable an adversary Thrawn is going to be. Lucasfilm was wise to pluck Thrawn's character and integrate him into Rebels. Those books are now considered not canon. Thrawn was the superb villain of Timothy Zahn's excellent Heir to the Empire trilogy. Then we have the introduction of Grand Admiral Thrawn (Lars Mikkelson), the tactical genius who commanded the Empire after Palpatine. His fear of loss turning into a thirst for power. Ezra Bridger (Taylor Gray) has begun to use the dark side. The show's storyline has matured, become far more engaging. Star Wars Rebels season 3 kicks off spectacularly with Steps Into Shadow.
