I enjoyed last week's episode as well, if anything because it had more space battle action and that Star Wars feel to it. Something this season of Rebels has seemed to lack, save a few notable exceptions. I Liked the backstory development for Hera and the connection to the CW show characters. Also fun to see the TIE Bombers make an appearance. I guess the ship the Rebels were in was the TIE Shuttle variant of the TIE Bomber as there sure was a lot of room in that thing!
Overall, I'm just not as into SW Rebels as much as I was into the Clone Wars series. With Clone Wars, I did everything in my power to ensure I was able to catch the new episode, however, with Rebels, if I miss one, I don't really care... Actually, I missed the entire first season, only getting into the show after I purchased the first season on DVD on a whim. I guess its the more kid-like feel to Rebels and the really fast pace of the episodes (conflict to resolution in around 22 minutes) and the overall lack of fighting a war in the stars that turns me off more so than Clone Wars did...
