There is one reason this isn't the best episode of Star Wars Rebels: the competition is too fierce. "A World Between Worlds" features a familiar science fiction trope, a time/space portal, and brings it to us cloaked in Jedi mysticism. It brings us back a beloved hero and a hated villain. It brings closure to the story of Kanan Jerrus at the same time it prepares us for the series finale. And it does all these things while being visually stunning and emotionally compelling.
This is more than just a good cartoon. This is art. I can't recommend it enough.
