Star Wars Rebels didn’t shy away from telling mature stories, but the darkest moment was never shown. While originally somewhat friendlier for young fans, Rebels aged with its audience, bringing crushing moments with it. The “Twilight of the Apprentice” episodes on Malachor rank high among the best episodes of the show, bringing multiple tiers of the dark side to the forefront as Inquisitors are killed off, Jedi Knight Kanan Jarrus loses his eyesight, and Darth Vader works to kill Ahsoka Tano.
