...but it's got it where it counts. It’s episode 38 of Children of the Force! And seriously, this episode doesn’t sound that great because I accidentally recorded through the laptop microphone instead of our usual microphone.

Here's our two-part reaction to the finale of season 2 of Rebels. In the first half, our reaction is heavily painted by the fact that we completely missed a key scene in the final montage.

For some reason, I wanted...
