Outline

After receiving a holocron message, Ezra tells the Ghost crew that they must go to Tatooine to save Obi-Wan Kenobi from Maul. The crew refuses, as they believe that Kenobi is dead and the message is a trap set by Maul. Ezra and Chopper sneak away and head to Tatooine, but things go wrong as their ship is destroyed by Tusken Raiders. Guided by the holocron, Ezra and Chopper set off across the desert in search for Kenobi. After several hours of aimless wandering, Chopper runs out of power and shuts down. Ezra is then haunted by visions of Maul, telling him that he failed his loved ones. Shortly afterwards, Ezra passes out. Upon awakening, he finds that Kenobi has rescued him and Chopper. Ezra tries to warn Kenobi that Maul is after him and asks him to help the rebellion. However, Kenobi refuses, and says that he has no intention of fighting Maul, though it is now inevitable, and that the rebellion already has what it needs to fight the Empire. As Maul finds the pair, Kenobi sends Ezra to safety and quickly defeats Maul; before Maul dies, Kenobi reveals to him that he is watching over whom he believes is the Chosen One. Ezra and Chopper return to base on Maul’s ship. Ezra tells the rebels that Maul is gone, and apologises for sneaking away. The episode ends with Kenobi watching a young Luke Skywalker at the Lars moisture farm from a distance.
