While I thought the season was great and exponentially better than Season One, there's something about this series that really bothers me:

Darth Vader

We've been led to believe that Vader was extremely powerful in The Force and that he was absolutely ruthless during that era. Yet nothing we've seen on film or in Rebels backs up those claims. Darth Maul seems to be far more powerful in The Force and far more ruthless. And outside of Anakin/Vader killing the "younglings", we haven't seen the "ruthless" side of Vader, unless you count the choking of Admiral's Ozzel and Peitt, which were no match for him, anyway.

Vader didn't kill Kanan or Ezra or Ahsoka, yet I'm pretty sure that if Maul wanted Kanan dead, he would have killed him, not only blinded him.

There's a theory floating about that Vader doesn't fully embrace the dark side until after the destruction of the Death Star. Once Tarkin and the Moffs are gone, there's not much to keep him in-check.
He never really left the military or stopped fighting a war. He was a soldier for most of his adult life, and had that mentality And once the command structure was obliterated and a few "fellow soldiers" he admired were vaporized, he really let the hate start to flow.
Compare his demeanor between IV and V.
