One really cool moment occurs, where Ezra and Sabine ride on the back of a white Lothwolf, though Sabine mysteriously fainted just before it showed up.Įzra has always had a deep connection to animals throughout Rebels, and to further see this connection explored has me excited. Imperial ships are sent out to search the area around the crash site to find the two teens, sending them running across the plains in an effort to hide. Sabine herself didn’t see the Lothcat but she does trust Ezra, so they leave the drive behind and head out once more. Which is definitely something they don’t want to risk.Įzra winds up following a white Lothcat to a small alcove once night has fallen, where he and Sabine proceed to hide the hyperdrive. Back with the Ghost crew, we find out that contacting the two teens would only draw in Imperial forces. Sabine works the hyperdrive free and the two set off across the plains of Lothal with hyperdrive and data recorder in hand. With one wing left, Ezra manages to land the Defender before the two crash into something. Thrawn is quite satisfied with the results of the unplanned flight test, deducing that if a sloppy pilot like Ezra can take out TIEs, the Defender is quite a worthy ship. While Ezra is able to bring down the TIEs that are after them, Thrawn has Governor Pryce activate a kill switch on the Defender, causing two of the wings to pop off. It’s much quicker than normal TIEs, has a hyperdrive, and more guns equipped as well. Throughout the whole air battle, we see just what the Defender can do. Zeb and Ryder head back to meet up with the rest of the crew leaving Sabine and Ezra to deal with a pack of TIEs that Thrawn sends soaring after them. But not before they blow up a huge part of the Imperial outpost! Luckily his disruption serves its purpose, allowing Sabine to steal the Defender and afford the two teens a very quick getaway. RELATED: STAR WARS REBELS Recap: (S04E05) The OccupationĮzra is tasked with creating a distraction and in classic Ezra style, he winds up with a whole bunch of Stormtroopers on his tail.


Grand Admiral Thrawn arrives on a transport to check in on the Defender, throwing quite a wrench into the impromptu mission. While Sabine is inside undoing the actual piece of equipment itself, a huge, blue problem shows up. Sabine and Ezra head down into the port area without too much trouble, two of the Lothcats following after them. The group are joined by Lothcats as they keep an eye on the TIE Defender.
