But the remaining eleven more than made up for it. Wonderfully well paced and timely, the growth and ramping cruelty of the Empire is perfectly juxtaposed with the increasing stress and danger for Rebels. It is how that danger strengthens determination and risk that makes the series, culminating in a brutal episode 10 and the consequences thereafter.
