In season 4, The Ghost and crew separate (in a sense) from the Rebel Alliance to focus on freeing Lothal, a target deemed too difficult to liberate by Mon Mothma. And it proves quite difficult indeed . . . Grand Admiral Thrawn is still in control and thwarting the Rebels' best attempts, the blockade is as strong as ever, and many sacrifices must be made if victory is possible. But this crew won't go down without a fight . . . and they'll get help in the most unlikely of places.
The final season of the series didn't disappoint. I liked it a tad better than the others, though several elements seemed bizarre (involving animals and/or time portals . . . I'll say no more). The tie-ins to the movies (particularly Rogue One) grew as the series neared its conclusion, and the ending, while bittersweet, was satisfying and hinted at future stories (though offered through other media, I suspect).
Rating: A
Reflecting on the series as a whole, they did a good job showing the progression from stand-alone rebel band to part of something greater, exploring each character (and their respective 'baggage') as they went. They also did well giving some backstory to the films, and tying in stories from The Clone Wars. Of it all, my personal favorite was Sabine, the explosion-loving Mandalorian artist. I'll leave you with one of her creations.
