Everyone know the X - Wing . Some people maybe even know the Y - Wing . But A and B Wings ? They ’re in spades the less know Rebel Alliance ships and on the latest episode of Star Wars Rebels , we found out precisely how the B - Wing first come into gaming , with a flock of help from Hera Syndulla .
The episode , Wings of the Master , typeset up a very mere goal . The Empire was thirst a planet with a swap encirclement and the Rebels were task with help them . On a first seek to break through the blockade , the Rebel ship — including the touch — got wipe out and took heavy casualties . They did n’t reckon there was anyway they could plug through to help the satellite . Not with their current computer hardware .
Back at base , Captain Rex ( this time of year ’s deus ex machina , but we ’ll let it slide ) said he ’d been in touch with a shipmaster name Quarrie who had designed a new ship . A “ encirclement buster ” that they could habituate if they went to visit him . Kanan volunteered Hera , as she ’s their best pilot film . And despite her reservations she decided to go , hoping it would result in helping the citizens .
Quarrie was on the planet Shantipole , which is fundamentally a ship necropolis because its electric field makes it all but impossible to shoot down . Hera does though , seemingly snuff it her first trial run set by the short , stout Mon Calamari , who looks like a mixture of R2 - D2 and Admiral Ackbar .
Quarrie then reveals his ship , which it sounds like he call the “ Bleed Wing . ” We , however , recognize it as the Hellenic B - Wing , just in bolshie . He says it ’s fast , maneuverable , and packs Brobdingnagian fervency power . It ’s exactly what the Rebels require . But he is n’t certain he wants to give it to them . It ’s not until Hera explain a bit about her past – the first we ’ve get word of it – that he softens . plough out Hera was a young girl during the Clone Wars and “ left her family so she could fly . ” “ When things are at their worst , I feel like I ’m at my best , ” she say . That ’s enough for Quarrie . Here ’s the clipping .
Hera assume the B - Wing out for a spin and , seriously , the termination is a aviate montage the the like of a Hollywood summer smash hit . bestir music , beautiful cinematography , cloud flying by , wholly with laughs and military action too . It was just an awesome picture , perfectly realized and build to show off how beautiful and under appreciate the B - Wing is in Star Wars account .
Unfortunately , using the B - Wing ’s primary weapon system means it loses hyperspeed capability , so they wo n’t be able to make it to the next Rebel rill at the satellite blockade . Kanan and Ezra simply could n’t wait any longer , and take aim the Ghost to try one more prison term to help the people in motivation . Quarrie , however upgrade the Phantom with hyperspeed , micturate a rescue possible .
The Ghost is utter . federal agent Kallus and his purple encirclement are oppress the Rebels as they endeavor to bust the blockade . Then , at the last moment , a ship of obscure design show up up . pilot by Hera , the B - Wing gets into attack formation and blows up one of the Imperial pleasure boat , leaving a distance for the Ghost to deliver the food . Misson complete .
Back at Qaeda one more time , the commandant tells Quarrie they will be aggregated production his ship and then promotes Hera to Captain .
Okay , award , the Inquisitor storyline we ’re waiting for still has n’t been deal with . But Hera ’s story was so strong , and the action so inspiring , it was a simply fantastic episode . Anytime Rebels can fill in a mystifier piece of Star Wars story , develop reference and entertain along the fashion ? Well , that ’s Star state of war at its good .
