Summary: During the episode, the protagonist is stuck inside of an Imperial military school, where he is forced to follow an Imperial regiment without blowing his cover.
It's very interesting how safe the look of Star Wars: Rebels is, and how sinister it really looks as a result in comparison to the last two episodes of the prequel trilogy. If you look unprofessional, unwealthy, mentally flawed in both health and IQ, there's not much one would do to try and join an empire. However, being clean and sort of this futuristic military crew opposed to the poor neighborhoods of Tatooine, I can definitely see the appeal of the empire to many.
I'm not sure what kind of empire inspired this kind of setting, but the creators played around with it this episode, and it was really interesting!
The direction of the actors was very interesting as well.
Every character is child-like and sympathetic, adding a bit more of a sinister mist to the show, as the characters attempt to figure out who the Inquistor is, and his importance to the canon. There's no doubt the effects he has in this episode, and the franchise.
I really like the character that buys into the Imperial propaganda that the Imperial Inquistor will provide the cadets a good life, when they really become soldiers and killers. It balances the good side with the dark side and hopefully they'll be able to use his character well in later episodes!
