Star Wars Rebels Season 4 Episode 6 The Last Battle

As the series enters its final episodes, Star Wars Rebels Season 4 Episode 6, "The Last Battle," brings back a legendary character from the Star Wars prequel trilogy and serves as a loving tribute to the Clone Wars series.

"The Last Battle" finds the Ghost crew answering a distress call from an abandoned Republic base, only to find that it's guarded by a battalion of battle droids, still functioning long after the Clone Wars ended. The droids, led by the tactical genius General Kalani, have been waiting for the day when the Republic would return to finish the war.
