The finale was sad, surprisingly so for something on Disney XD - I guess it's the wake of Rogue One. I liked it overall. I think I watched every episode over the entire run.
For a moment, it looked like they were going to recant on that major death, but they didn't, which was cool. The ultimate fate of all the characters was fitting, except for the twilek Hera's fate - not sure how that came about for many reasons.
It was a good run, Rebels, a fine side note to the SW canon and a revealing look at the franchise as it transitioned from the Emperor to the mouse. I really liked the dark saber story arc, the reveal on the basic lightsaber practice form, and some of the cameos - particular Saw Gerrerra, who makes little sense in RO, but is much more filled out in Rebels. Note that there are lots of Easter eggs for Rebels in RO.
I'm somewhat glad it ended instead of milking it past its prime, but will miss those characters. Perhaps like with Ahsoka, Sabine will live on in future series. Ahsoka was really the only character of interest in Clone Wars. Rebels offered more, but Sabine's story left room for a new series at some point. Now it all feels like something that happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far far away.
