Plot summary[]
Following the events of "Call to Action," the rebelsEzra Bridger,Sabine Wren,Chopper andGarazeb Orrelios embark on a mission to rescueKanan Jarrus. At the exposition, they hijack anAT-DPwalker on patrol in an attempt to hack into the Imperial data network so that they can find where theEmpire was holding Kanan. Since the Empire destroyedLothal'sImperial Communications Center, the entire network was down. After being pursued by two more AT-DP walkers, the rebels headed to the town's western border to rendezvous with Hera, who would pick them up with thePhantom, theGhost's auxiliary ship.
While retreating, Zeb exchanged fire with the pursuing walkers but almost fell out of their AT-DP walker. After Sabine got word thatHera Syndulla was on the way, she instructed everyone to get on top of their hijacked AT-DP. However, Chopper ignored that order and remained plugged to the walker's terminal in the hope of finding any information about Kanan. Shortly later, Hera showed in thePhantom and picked up Ezra, Sabine and Zeb just as one of the pursuing walkers caught up with them. When they realized that Chopper was still in the AT-DP walker, Zeb went back to retrieve him moments before the attacking walker blew it up.
After returning to theGhost, Hera received word fromFulcrum that the transmission they sent out had been widely viewed by both civilians and the Imperial authorities. Concerned for the safety of the rebellion, Fulcrum told Hera to abandon their search for Kanan in order to avoid drawing attention to their rebel cell. When Hera shared what Fulcrum had told her, Ezra refused to abandon Kanan. Defying Hera's orders, Ezra decided to take matters into his own hands. While Chopper distracted Hera aboard theGhost, Ezra, Sabine and Zeb stole thePhantom and headed out into Lothal's wilderness to find theDevaronian crime lordVizago.
Vizago was initially unwilling to help the crew of theGhost because their insurgency had led to an increased Imperial presence on Lothal which disrupted his business activities. Despite Sabine's protests, Ezra managed to get Vizago to change his mind by revealing that he and Kanan were bothJedi. When Vizago laughed because he didn't believe him, Ezra usedthe Force tolevitate a crate over his head. Impressed by Ezra's display of Force powers, Vizago revealed that the Empire was usingcourier droids to transfer sensitive information to theircommunication ship above Lothal since the communication tower's destruction had disrupted all long-range communications on Lothal. Vizago suggested that Kanan's whereabouts was stored within this data.
With their meeting over, Ezra left the ship and found Sabine and Zeb with Hera, who was furious with the three rebels for disobeying her orders. However, Ezra and his fellow rebels refused to abandon Kanan. Outnumbered, Hera reluctantly agreed to help them rescue Kanan and asked Ezra what he had found out from Vizago. Meanwhile, aboardGrand MoffTarkin'sStar DestroyerSovereign, Kanan resisted amental probe byone ofAgentKallus'interrogator droids. In an attempt to break the Jedi,the Grand Inquisitor then had Kanan electrocuted. When Kanan refused to divulge any information about Fulcrum and the rebel network, Grand Moff Tarkin ordered that the Jedi be transferred to theMustafar system, a place that would produced the "desired results."
Using Vizago's information, the crew of theGhost devised a plan to interceptone of the Empire's courier droids and replace him with Chopper. Once aboard the Imperial communications ship, Chopper would hack into their data network and find out where the Imperials were keeping Kanan. After capturing the courier droid and taking out itsstormtrooper escort, Chopper boarded the waiting shuttle disguised as an Imperial droid. The shuttle soon took off and headed for the orbiting communications ship. Soon after boarding, Chopper arrived on the bridge and began hacking into the Imperial Network, but started to catch some unwanted attention from the Imperials.
As soon as Chopper downloaded what he was looking for, he signaled for the crew of theGhost to attack the communications ship, giving him time to escape. He opened one of the airlocks and allowed himself to get sucked into the vacuum of space along with four stormtroopers who were behind him. Now in space, Chopper jetted away to theGhost and flew through the bomb bay doors as the Spectres headed back to Lothal. Hera was proud of Ezra for stepping up and taking the lead and commented that Kanan has taught him well with the Padawan saying so has she. From the information Chopper retrieved, Sabine discovered Kanan is on one of Governor Tarkin’s Destroyers which was still above Lothal but scheduled to leave soon to theMustafar system which she never heard of it so upon asking Hera, the femaleTwi'lekCaptain told her and their close companions that she only heard the name once from Kanan and he said the Mustafar system was where Jedi go to die because the Empire claimed it was whereJedi KnightAnakin Skywalker was when he died.
