I'm calling their bluff.

I want to meet these "Jedi."
Have security meet me in the hangar.
-You've got the bridge. -Yes, sir.
JEDI: Thank you for allowing us to come on board, Captain...
Hayle.
If you don't mind me saying,
it's quite a surprise meeting Jedi out here.
(CHUCKLES)
Our existence remains a mystery to most, Captain Hayle.
You're no Jedi.
Just some overconfident Imperial trash who just pushed their luck too far.
You're making a mistake.

I'm afraid we've lost your prisoner.
I've prepared a briefing to get you caught up.
Just like old times.
Unfortunately.
They took out an entire security detail and scuttled one of our new starships.
They seem to have abilities like you.
These days, there are few who can wield the Force.
Perhaps one of them was once a Jedi.
(SIGHS) Possibly.
Huyang, make a copy of this recording and run a match on their lightsabers.
HERA: What's their connection to Morgan Elsbeth?
She was a great ally of Thrawn's during Imperial rule.
She knows something.
I started hearing whispers of his return which led me to Morgan.
If Thrawn survived, does that mean Ezra...
I hope so.
Nothing is certain except our enemy's belief
that they know where to look.
HUYANG: We were on our way to Corellia to investigate one of Lady Morgan's old facilities
My intel suggests she has found an ancient Star Map
with extragalactic calculations.
It is very troubling.
It's never a straight line with you Jedi, is it?
(SIGHS)
You know who could help you with this?
I do.
HERA: She'll do it.
For Ezra.
(CELEBRATORY MUSIC PLAYS)
SPEAKER: On this day several years ago, the Empire was defeated
thanks to the heroic efforts of Commander Ezra Bridger,
who sacrificed himself to liberate our world.
This monument we dedicate here today
stands in recognition of Commander Bridger and the rebel leaders
who fought so valiantly on our behalf.
May their courage and commitment never be forgotten.
(CROWD APPLAUDING)
Here to say a few words is one of those rebel leaders.
Commander Sabine Wren.

I'm sorry for disappearing on you.
I made this recording because, more than the others,
I need you to understand.
As a Jedi, sometimes you have to make the decision no one else can.
So that's what I did to defeat Thrawn.
We've been through a lot. Grew up together in this Rebellion.
I know your fight isn't over...
and now I won't be there to help you.
But I'm counting on you to see this through.
May the Force be with you.

(VEHICLE POWERING ON)
Go to Corellia. Assist Marrok with the final transport.
Yes, Master.
(WHOOSHING)
(RUMBLES)
SUPERVISOR: This was one of Morgan's facilities.
She supplied raw materials used in the construction
of hyperdrive generators for Imperial-class Star Destroyers.
Now we're taking them apart and using the cores
to power the new ships in the defense fleet.
Do the facilities still employ any of her former staff?
Of course, there was no other way to remain operational.
An Empire doesn't just become a Republic overnight.
You will still find ex-Imperials
at every level of the New Republic government.
-Don't you worry about their loyalty? -Not at all.
The average worker doesn't care about the nuances of galactic politics.
They have loyalty so long as they're paid.
And you?
I'm a businessman, General. My loyalty is to my investors.
I'll leave the politics up to you.
(PENSIVE MUSIC PLAYS)
(INDISTINCT BACKGROUND CHATTER)
(SOFT WHOOSHING)
Welcome to the control center.
From here, we keep track of the entire inventory
being created from the dismantled Imperial Fleet.
We're able to find a use for everything in many different sectors.
The profits generated from a single Star Destroyer
are enough to fund various New Republic reconstruction programs,
among other things.
Is that a hyperdrive core?
Yes.
Refurbished from an SSD, ready for its new life serving the Republic.
This facility has produced nine of these new models.
The New Republic defense fleet isn't building anything that big.
What class of starship are they for?
Uh. Let's see. (CLEARS THROAT)
(BEEPING)
-Oh, there it is. -(CHIMES)
"Classified."
I'm a General. Nothing's classified to me.
I'm sorry. I cannot unseal a document without authorization.
Well, then I'm authorizing it.
C-1, can you come over here, please?
Perhaps you can help with the protocol here.
DROID: Yes, I see. The document is classified from our Calodan account, authorized by an HK-87.
SUPERVISOR: Assassin droids? (CHUCKLES)
I should think not.
DROID: I am not mistaken.
An HK Class droid recently prevented me from completing an inventory check on an outgoing transport.
Why didn't you log a report?
I did, sir.
You told me not to bother you while you were conducting the tour of the facility.
Where is this droid now?
I believe it is departing on that transport.

Hey, Chopper, what's the update on that tracking beacon?
(CHOPPER CHATTERING)
Well, keep working on it.
When Chopper has something more definitive, I'll let you know.
So what did you find?
As you requested, I have run an analysis on the lightsabers.
The image was corrupted.
I was able to reconstruct the details of the two hilts.
They are quite elegant.
The construction and overall design are executed exactly the way
I taught younglings to build a lightsaber at the Temple.
So, definitely Jedi-trained?
Yes. However, this one I do not recognize.
But this one...
In the last 500 years, I've only known one student
who built a saber such as this.
Baylan Skoll.
He disappeared at the end of the Clone Wars. Like so many Jedi.
A master and an apprentice.
If both trained in the Jedi Arts, they will be formidable adversaries.
For you alone.
Of course, you may not be alone for much longer.
(SIGHS)
Maybe.
Thank you, Huyang.
BRIDGER: It's up to all of you now.
And remember...
the Force will be with you. Always.
(GASPS) Ezra.
(QUIET BEEPING)
AHSOKA: Sabine...
I hope this message finds you well.
I know my training wasn't easy...
There's nothing easy about being a Jedi.
We didn't quite finish your lessons, but...
I could really use your help, Sabine.
I think I know how to find Ezra.
But I must warn you, this isn't just a rescue mission.
It's about preventing another war.
I'll be arriving on Lothal in the morning.
I hope to see you soon.
May the Force be with you.
(MEOWS)
I think I'm going on a trip.
(BLADE CUTTING)

-(BEEPING) -Not bad.
But not good.
It's been a while.
I see you still have your lightsaber.
Ezra's lightsaber.
True, he constructed it, and then he passed it on to you.
So it is now your lightsaber.
The past is the past. Move forward.
Thank you, Huyang.
Yes. Thank you, Huyang.
Your skill with a weapon comes from your Mandalorian upbringing.
Those skills alone will not be enough to defeat our enemy.
Learning to wield the Force takes a deeper commitment.
How?
That's something you'll have to discover.
How about Zatochi?
Oh, no.
I'm not certain Lady Wren is ready for that technique.
(SIGHS)
I forgot how annoying you are.
I only spoke the truth.
Put this on.
HUYANG: The Jedi Order would not have accepted her.
She is not an acceptable candidate.
HUYANG: You realize, historically, there have been very few Mandalorians
who ever became a Jedi.
I want you to see with more than just your eyes.
AHSOKA: Feel my presence.
SABINE: I can't use the Force. Not like you do.
Not like Ezra.

The Chancellor?
She's waiting. There are several Senators with her.
One of them is Xiono.
(CHATTER)
Chancellor Mothma, Senators.
Hera, you look well. How's young Jacen?
Fine, Chancellor, in fact he's on board.
Somewhere.
XIONO: Forgive me Madam Chancellor, we're late as it is.
Quite right, Senator Xiono.
My investigation into the attack on the Vesper
led me to the Santhe Shipyards on Corellia
where I was attacked by Imperial loyalists still working for Morgan Elsbeth.
MON MOTHMA: It was my understanding that the offenders were arrested
and the facility shut down pending further investigation.
Yes, but I believe their activity speaks to a larger operation.
Involving Thrawn.
Grand Admiral Thrawn?
I have reason to believe he is alive.
And that his allies are working on a way to find him.
If I could get approval to send a task force
to the Denab system, I could find out.
XIONO: Isn't this just another attempt to gain New Republic resources
to aid in what has ultimately been
your personal quest to find Ezra Bridger?
And that you conveniently use the threat of Thrawn's return
to acquire those resources that could be put to a more practical purpose,
helping the people of our fledgling Republic.
Thrawn is not your typical Imperial officer.
He killed friends, people who were like family to me.
I've spent most of my life fighting a war
and that's why I'm trying to convince you to help me prevent another one.
Grand Admiral Thrawn is dead.
Your friend, Ezra Bridger, heroically died with him.
-You don't know that... -MON MOTHMA: General.
Allow me a moment to speak with my colleagues.
Of course.
Chancellor.
Senators.
(SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING)
That went well.
Hey, Mom! Mom!
Is it true Aunt Sabine is gonna be a Jedi?
Now, where did you hear that?
Chopper told me.
(CHITTERS)
I wanna be a Jedi.
Yeah, I know you do, Jacen.
(WHOOSHING)
Hera! Great. How far out are you and the fleet?
Unfortunately, I won't be joining you for this one.
And neither will the fleet.
What?
The Senate Committee wouldn't approve the mission.
The Senate Committee? What are you talking about?
I'm sorry, Sabine, but it's not up to me,
-I have to follow the orders-- -Hera?
We've entered the Denab system, all comm transmissions are being jammed.

Indeed.
The good news is the enemy vessel is still under construction
and not yet complete.
There are six hyperdrive engines in place
with the final one being set into position.
But I have never seen one built on this scale before.
A craft with these power levels and configuration
would be capable of a hyperspace jump of astonishing speed and distance.
Huyang, could a ring like that make a jump to a neighboring galaxy?
Theoretically, if one knew the coordinates and navigation,
yes, I believe it could.
The Jedi archives speak of intergalactic hyperspace lanes
between galaxies which used to follow the migration paths
of star whales named purrgil.
Like the ones we just saw.
Really? When?
SABINE: Comms are still down and the primary power converter is offline.
We can't send a distress signal and our ship isn't going anywhere.
Huyang said their ground base isn't far.
Start there.
Sounds good.

Master?
MYSTERIOUS VOICE: I didn't expect to see you so soon.
(WARM MUSIC PLAYING)
Anakin.
You look the same.
You look old.
(SCOFFS) Well, that happens.
Actually, what happened?
You lost a fight.
I don't remember.
Trust me.
You lost.
Baylan Skoll.
So, you do remember.
That's good.
Why?
It means you still have a chance.
A chance?
To live.
I'm here to finish your training.
It's a little late for that.
One is never too old to learn, Snips.
What's the lesson, Master?
Live...
or die.
I won't fight you.
I've heard that before.

Come on, Snips.
The battle's not over yet.
There are more Separatist droids approaching.
There's always a price to be paid.
It was my fault.
They were following my orders. I got them killed.
Come here.
This is war, Ahsoka.
As Jedi, it's our job to lead.
That doesn't mean we don't make mistakes.
But our mistakes cost lives.
That doesn't bother you?
Of course it does.
Look, when Obi-Wan taught me, we were keepers of the peace.
But now, to win this war, I have to teach you to be a soldier.
Is that all I'll have to teach my own Padawan one day?
How to fight?
Listen, I'm teaching you how to lead, how to survive,
and to do that you're going to have to fight.

We had parted ways by now.
-Looks intense. -It was.
You did well.
You're a warrior now, as I trained you to be.
Ahsoka, within you will be everything I am.
All the knowledge I possess.
Just as I inherited knowledge from my Master and he from his.
You're part of a legacy.
But my part of that legacy is one of death and war.
But you're more than that,
Because I'm more than that.
You are more, Anakin.
But more powerful and dangerous than anyone realized.
Is that what this is about?
If I am everything you are...
You've learned nothing.
Don't say that.
Back to the beginning.
I gave you a choice.
Live...
or die.
No.

BAYLAN: The Jedi archives spoke of this place.
It was the end of a migration route used by the star whales
as they traversed the void from one galaxy to the other.
MORGAN: My people were the first to harness and ride the creatures
in the days before time was counted.
The whales came here to die.
Peridea is a graveyard.

However, you might have been lost for good, if not for Jacen.
Jacen is here?
With his mother and a squadron of X-wings.
All unauthorized, of course.
And Sabine?
No, we have not found her.
We were hoping you could explain what happened.
-(JACEN CHUCKLING) -(CHOPPER CHATTERS)
Ahsoka!
(CHUCKLES)
I owe you my thanks.
I heard you fighting.
You did?
Yeah, lightsabers. Who were you fighting with?
HERA: Hey, I have an idea.
Huyang, why don't you show Jacen inside your starship?
Come along. I'll show you the training room.
You have a training room in your starship? Will you train me?
No.
-Do you know how to build a lightsaber? -Yes.
-Will you teach me? -No.
I know you've just recovered, but I have to ask.
Where's Sabine?
The last time I saw Sabine, she was holding this.
And that's significant?
She might have left an impression on it. Like a memory.
So, we'll know what happened.
Possibly.
BAYLAN: Sabine, you will be reunited with your friend.
Do it.
For Ezra.
(LIGHTSABERS CLASHING)
They took her with them.
General, we have a problem.
It's the fleet. They're on their way.
- HERA: They're a little late. - I don't think they're coming to help.
I'll deal with this.
You can work out a way to find Sabine.
Right.
(MELODIC RUMBLING)
You can't be serious.
Hera, do you have Morgan Elsbeth in custody?
Do you have evidence of Imperial Remnant activity
or of Grand Admiral Thrawn's return?
No.
Then I'm afraid there's nothing more I can do.
You and Ahsoka Tano are to return to Coruscant with the fleet.
I'm sorry.
I don't know how you score this, but we're losing right now.
AHSOKA: I know how to follow Sabine.
I'm not sure I like this plan.
Yes, I would like to second that.
(MELODIC RUMBLING)

Up ahead. I think that is one of the larger ones.

Ahsoka, looks like they're about to jump.

This is a land of dreams and madness.

I know no such stories.
You weren't raised at the Temple.
When I was a bit older than you are now,
I watched everything I knew burn.
The Jedi Temple?
(SIGHS) I couldn't make sense of it at the time.
As you get older, look at history,
you realize it's all inevitable.
The fall of the Jedi, rise of the Empire.
It repeats again and again and again.
Won't our alliance with Thrawn finally
bring us into power?
That sort of power is fleeting.
What I seek is the beginning,
So I may finally bring this cycle to an end.
SHIN: And that beginning is here?
If the old stories are true.

What was first just a dream has become a frightening reality
for those who may oppose us.
Great Mothers, I salute you.
Soon, we shall all escape this exile thanks to the efforts of Morgan Elsbeth.
I am ever your servant, Grand Admiral.
This is Enoch, captain of my guard.
He shall begin the cargo transfer
as per my agreement with the Great Mothers.
I have seen the catacombs.
It will take some time. At least three rotations.
An acceptable timeframe.
They have brought a prisoner.
BAYLAN: I brought the prisoner.
I felt she could be of some use to us.
And you are?
Mercenaries.
Baylan Skoll and his apprentice, Shin Hati.
Then you must be General Baylan Skoll
of the Jedi Order.
I parted ways with the Jedi long ago.
You would not be the first.
The prisoner is Sabine Wren.
Now there's a familiar name.
(PURRGIL CALLS)
HUYANG: Intergalactic travel within a star whale.
Now I really have done it all.
I remember them from the stories you would tell us
when we were younglings back at the Temple.
Ah, yes.
I still have those stories in my archive memory.
Would you like to hear one?
Not right now.
Perhaps you have a story for me.
There's something I didn't tell Hera about Sabine.
Which is?
She went with the enemy willingly.
Impossible.
I saw it through the Force when I held the map.
Well, that is troubling.
She was fated to make that choice.
There wasn't enough time to prepare her to make the right one.
Perhaps, for Sabine, it was the only choice.
On second thought, tell me one of those stories.
Your choice.
Very well.
A long time ago,
in a galaxy far, far away....
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
What a delight it is after so long to see a familiar face.
I'm aware of your agreement with Baylan Skoll,
and I intend to honor it.
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)
You shall have provisions, a mount,
and our latest intel on Bridger's whereabouts.
So, that's it? You're just gonna let me walk out of here?
You helped my cause. Now I shall help yours.
You should know, though, that once my starship departs,
you'll be stranded here forever.
It's also quite possible that your friend is dead.
If you survived, I'm sure he's doing just fine.
You have gambled the fate of your galaxy
on that belief.
I'd rather not waste any more time.
What kind of ride you got around here?
(RUMBLING)
(DOOR THUDS)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
She is on a fool's errand.
Indeed. You may follow her at your own pace.
Yes, Grand Admiral.
I thought you were to honor your agreement.
Sabine Wren will have the opportunity of finding Ezra Bridger,
just as promised.
And if she does,
you and your Master will destroy them both.

In this war, you will face more than just droids.
General Grievous, Asajj Ventress, even Count Dooku.
You could face any one of them on the battlefield.
As your Master, it's my responsibility to prepare you.
So, practice these forms often.
Or at least more than I do.
I won't always be there to look out for you.
If we get separated or something happens,
you need to be able to make it on your own.
Don't be afraid.
Just remember what I taught you and trust your instincts.
I know you can do this, Ahsoka.
He was a good Master.
Did you need something?
I think the whales may be reaching the end of their journey.
What makes you think that?
According to my instruments, their speed is decreasing.
(OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING)
Great Mothers, you wish to speak with me.
The thread of fate has spoken to us.
Another comes.
A Jedi.
They ride the travelers.
Could it be the recently deceased Ahsoka Tano?
Impossible.
I thought it was beyond you to underestimate a Jedi.
After all, death and resurrection are common deceptions
played out by both Nightsister and Jedi.
Baylan assured me of her death.
We shall consider Ahsoka Tano alive until we know otherwise.
And we shall prepare accordingly.
Yes, Grand Admiral.
If a star whale approaches Peridea,
destroy it with prejudice.
Great Mothers, I shall once again require the aid
of your dark magick.
GRAND MOTHERS: The thread of destiny demands it, Grand Admiral.

The Empire was defeated?

The Emperor died?
That's what people say.
There's a New Republic,
Zeb's training recruits, and Hera's commanding a fleet.
I missed everything.
It's been a while.
You know, I was beginning to think we'd never find you.
-How did you? -What?
Find me. You never said.
It's complicated.
Ahsoka took me on as her apprentice.
She what? Why?
I mean... congratulations.
(CHUCKLES)
-Really? You? -Go on.
No, no, that's great. Makes sense, of course.
You trained a little before, back when I was first learning.
I remember.
Yeah, so, where is Ahsoka? Is she coming?
(SIGHS DEEPLY)
That's complicated?
(BEEPING STOPS)
Nothing. I cannot locate Lady Wren.
Either my scans are being jammed or there is too much debris.
Shall I try again?

We don't need a scan.
There's another way.

Contact the fighter group and have them re-engage the opponent.

Yes, yes, of course. Just remember what happened last time!
(SIGHS) You got the timing wrong.

Grand Admiral, the cargo transfer is complete.
Good. Very good indeed.
Bring the Eye of Sion out of high orbit

There is little the Jedi can do to stop us now.
I've watched many an Imperial officer
make the same assumptions about the Rebellion.
Even I fell victim to the heroics of a single Jedi.
Never again.
Great Mothers,
our alliance has proven to be quite beneficial.
We are grateful to you, Grand Admiral.
And to you, Morgan Elsbeth.
Come forward.
You shall be rewarded.
The gift of shadows.
Are you prepared?
Yes, Great Mother.
Do you pledge yourself to the sisterhood,
to the majiks, to the old ways?
I do.
Do you abandon your old life
for this new one?
I do.

Ahsoka wants us to go after Thrawn as soon as we're ready.
HUYANG: This is not something you can rush through haphazardly.
I have a system.
(CLATTERING)
So do I.
You, sir, have a method,
not a system or anything resembling a process.
Who taught you how to build a lightsaber, anyway?
SABINE: Kanan Jarrus.
HUYANG: Is that so?
EZRA: He was my Master.
Taught me everything I know.
And I taught him how to build a lightsaber.
How could you know him?
I taught almost every youngling at the Jedi Temple,
including your Master.
Clever boy Caleb was, very curious. A little shy, perhaps.
Well, who can blame him? Those were troubling times.
That's it.
I had two of those.
Kanan took the one, the other I held onto in case he ever needed it.
It is proper that you should have it.
Thank you, Huyang.
Well done.
Looks like you were a good student.
Hey, Sabine, Ahsoka ever teach you how to...
(HATCH HISSING)
You must be pleased.
(SIGHS)
I never thought I'd see him again.
We might not have, had you chosen differently.
I'm sorry.
I know.
You're not mad?
Over the years, I've made my share of difficult choices.
Often, no one understood my reasons.
Except my Master.
Anakin?
He always stood by me.
That's why no matter what happens next,
I'm going to be there for you.

Morgan is dead.
She has done what was required.
OFFICER: L-S-Seven-Five-Seven,
reinforcements have been dispatched to your position.
Seven-Five-Seven here. Copy.
Thanks for the heads-up.
Where's Ezra?
Going home.
-(BEEPS) -Wanna get out of here?
I'm right behind you.

Controls,

Can we catch 'em?
I am diverting all power to the engines... now.
(ENGINES RUMBLING)
Grand Admiral, we are tracking the Jedi shuttle.
It is closing.
Open a channel, please.
Ahsoka Tano, allow me to commend you on your efforts today.
You've been quite a worthy opponent.
Can you not get me any more power?
I regret we haven't met face to face, and perhaps now we never shall.
Still,
I know you because I knew your Master.
One wonders...
just how similar you might become.
Today, victory is mine.
Long Live the Empire.

We're almost packed.
You did well.
Ezra is where he needs to be.
And so are we.
It's time to move on.
AHSOKA: What is it?
Nothing.
Just shadows in the starlight.
