Category: Season 3

The Ghost lies in wait, powered down until spotted by an Imperial probe, which they then pursue and destroy just as a small force of Rebel ships arrive. Only now do Hera, Ezra and Zeb learn their orders: to transport Senator Mon Mothma, who now has a target on her back after speaking out in no uncertain terms against the Emperor’s tyranny, to a remote outer rim planet called Dantooine. There, Mon Mothma intends to transmit a message to the other disparate Rebel cells, inviting them to join an alliance of Rebel groups. The Emperor has naturally dispatched Grand Admiral Thrawn to make sure that Mon Mothma never gets there, and Thrawn has brought a new secret weapon with him.

Notes: This episode brings Hera’s Rebel cell into contact with characters from the original trilogy, including Jon “Gold Leader” Vander (Star Wars, Rogue One) and Senator Mon Mothma (Return Of The Jedi, Rogue One). Furthermore, Genevieve O’Reilly, who played Mon Mothma in Rogue One and in scenes cut from Star Wars Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith, provides the character’s voice here. The three-winged TIE Defender prototype was first revealed in An Inside Man. This episode ends with the formation of the Rebel fleet proper as seen in later live-action films in the Star Wars saga.

AP-5 and Chopper (in the guise of an outdated Imperial droid) are assigned to infiltrate an Imperial installation to read the Empire’s data stores; Wedge acts as their chauffeur in a stolen Imperial shuttle (and puts up with their banter). But Grand Admiral Thrawn has studied Hera’s Rebel cell closely and has circulated a warning about Chopper; Imperial data gatherers are not only aware of him, but eagerly await him connecting to the data net so they can hack him and take him over. Despite Chopper’s stubborn resistance, he is reprogrammed remotely to act as a spy for the Empire. Only AP-5 suspects anything is amiss…but no one’s listening to him.

Ezra awakens to the sound of the holocron recording of the Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, and then has a vision of Maul bellowing Kenobi’s name. Ezra tries to convince the others that this must mean Kenobi is alive and in danger, but Hera isn’t convinced, and is more focused on preparing for an attack on Lothal. Ezra takes matters into his own hands, stealing an A-Wing and heading for Tatooine. Almost immediately upon landing, Ezra figures out that it’s a trap, but it’s too late – his fighter is attacked by Tusken Raiders and destroyed. The trap, however, has not been laid for Ezra; he’s merely the bait. Maul plans to use the wayward Jedi apprentice to lure Kenobi out into the open for a final duel. Kenobi does indeed help Ezra, but he has no intention of ending the rivalry with Maul on the disgraced Sith Lord’s terms.

LogBook entry by Earl Green

Grand Admiral Thrawn arrives on Lothal with word that various Rebel cells are joining forces to attack and destroy the TIE Defender factory on Lothal. Using a bugged mouse droid, Agent Kallus listens in and tries to warn the Rebel fleet that Thrawn is expecting them…only to discover that Thrawn is expecting him as well. Following the direction of Kallus’ transmission, Thrawn brings a fleet of Imperial Star Destroyers to the Rebels’ meeting place, cutting off their escape. Kanan goes to the desert to demand help from the Bendu, while Ezra and Chopper alone must convince Mon Mothma to commit the rest of the Rebel fleet to reinforcing the forces gathered by Hera, Captain Sato, and General Dodonna. Mon Mothma, however, is unwilling to put all of the Rebellion’s assets on the front line, leaving Ezra to seek help elsewhere.
