Star Wars Rebels Review: “The Lost Commanders”

Star Wars Rebels The Lost Commanders

Spoiler Review —

Star Wars Rebels season 2 is here! After the deadly, tone setting season premiere movie “Siege of Lothal,” “The Lost Commanders” had quite a bit to live up too.

Eager to see the one-hour movie premiere of Star Wars Rebels‘ second season, The Siege of Lothal? You just have to wait until June 20, 9:00 p.m. ET/ 8:00 p.m. CT on Disney XD, but seeing as my review of the premiere (shown at Star Wars Celebration Anaheim) is the most viewed post on the Manor, June 20th might still be too long of a wait for some of you. But let me tell you, it’s completely worth the wait thanks to Vader doing what he does best: decimating his enemies!
