Mart, Jonner, and Gooti throw themselves head-on against the Empire, usually without seeing the larger picture.

(Not because I used to have one - because it’s an irrevocable part of American teenage culture, and also a throwback to the 1970s fashions of A New Hope.)īravery is a vital part of fighting the Empire, but it’s useless without strategy. And when I saw Mart’s mop haircut, I had to chuckle. Sato says of Mart, “He has always been somewhat… rebellious.” In that way, Mart seems strikingly similar to Jyn Erso, who crosses paths with the Rebel Alliance in the upcoming Rogue One. Mart also has personal ties to the rebellion, since he’s the nephew of Commander Jun Sato. Adding to Iron Squadron’s naïveté is the fact that they keep on mistaking smaller Imperial ships for a Star Destroyer. He’s more measured in his thoughts and responses, and he also thinks more strategically. In particular, the episode shows how much Ezra has grown up over the course of Rebels. “Iron Squadron” wisely uses Ezra and Sabine as points of reference between the three young rebels and the wider rebellion. The three young rebels represent alternate versions of Ezra and Sabine, had they not joined the larger rebellion. When they cross paths with the Ghost crew, Ezra and Sabine recognize their bravery as well as their naïveté.
