star wars rebels season 3 episode 14 warhead

AP-5 never seems to identify with EXD-9 as a fellow droid. Zeb and AP-5 never discuss any moral aspects of sending the recon droid back to the Imperials to explode. The question of droid agency is always a bit blurry in Star Wars, but it was especially so here. Is this just par for the course for Rebels now? Was there any point in questioning how much sentience the Imperial droid has when it clearly doesn’t have any agency? Even AP-5, who made his own choice to leave the Empire, had no problem forcibly reprogramming the recon droid. Just like in last week’s episodes, what could have been a frightening sequence was was broken up by dull exposition. Throughout, I was not so much examining whether I personally enjoyed it as how much I was willing to forgive it. This one ended up to be the “defeating an enemy from within” story. Meanwhile, Zeb is chief of security for Chopper Base, a position he has’t done much with before and which he insists he doesn’t want to do because he is “bored”. After a delightful scene of Hera actually ordering Wedge and Hobbie to work, she presents a rather thin reason to split the party: the other members of the crew are working on a training exercise. “Warhead” treats Zeb more like the show did in season one, when he was just as immature as Ezra. The last episode that gave us a lot of information on him taught us the large-scale, actually quite sad story of the Lasat and gave Zeb a sort of cultural spirituality of his own. It’s been a while since Zeb took the spotlight on Rebels. Tasked this week with actually doing the security job he was assigned, Zeb confronts a new kind of Imperial recon droid in an episode that doesn’t quite answer the question. What exactly is Zeb’s role on Rebels? “We’ve never really figured that out,” Chopper deadpans (through a translator) in “Warhead,” and it’s funny because it’s true. This Star Wars Rebels review contains spoilers.
