It is fourteen years since the Republic fell and the oppressive Empire took its place. A small group of rebels aboard a freighter called 'The Ghost' are striking back against the Empire around the planet Lothal. They are led by pilot Hera Syndulla and include Jedi knight Kanan Jarrus, a Mandalorian named Sabine Wren, Garazeb "Zeb" Orrelios and a droid nicknamed Chopper. Into this group is added Ezra Bridger, a force sensitive teenager who Kanan takes under his wing; while all these characters are important it is clear that Ezra is the centre of the story. As the series progresses we learn more about the characters and get plenty of action as they face many dangers and adversaries both familiar and new to this series.

Having recently watched 'Clone Wars' and most of 'The Bad Batch' I looked forward to seeing this; when it started I was a bit put off by the change in animation style but, thanks to interesting characters and exciting storylines I soon stopped noticing the change. While Ezra can be a bit irritating at times I thought most of the new characters were a lot of fun, heroes and villains alike. I liked how some old characters pop up occasionally but never dominate the series. As one would expect from Star Wars there is plenty of action. This has a real sense of danger for characters, especially for those I haven't seen in films or series set later than this. Overall I'd say that while this might not be as good as 'Clone Wars' it is still well worth a watch. Make sure you watch it before watching 'Ahsoka' as quite a few characters introduced here reappear in that series.
