Star Wars Rebels Season 3: 12 Best Moments
9. Kallus Helps The Defectors Escape
Kallus was one of the standout
characters of Season Three, with a character arc that has slowly been
progressing since Season Two and here sees it come full circle.
In The Antilles Extraction, during their escape Sabine, Wedge and Hobbie get help from an unlikely ally – Agent Kallus. Sealing off the doors and advising them on their escape route, Kallus tells Sabine to let Zeb know they are now even. Not only was this a great way to add a little continuity to the series, referencing back to Season Two’s episode The Honourable Ones, but it instantly sparked off mass fan speculation that the latest incarnation of Fulcrum, was indeed Kallus himself.
Of course, this turned out to be completely true. It may have proven to be a little too obvious to have this moment feature in the same episode as the new Fulcrum, but it remains a significant moment and one that was completely unexpected and surprising.
This
then led on to many more great moments featuring Kallus as Fulcrum, at the end
of An Inside Man when Thrawn reveals to his Imperial colleagues that they have
a traitor in their midst, when Thrawn reveals to Yularen that he knows who
Fulcrum really is and (my personal favourite) in Zero Hour: Part One when
Thrawn finally faces Kallus directly and engages him in hand to hand combat
after hijacking his latest Fulcrum transmission.
