Introduction

Star Wars Rebels is an American 3D animated science fiction television series produced by Lucasfilm Animation and set in the Star Wars galaxy five years before A New Hope.

It takes place during an era when the Galactic Empire is hunting down the last of the Jedi while a fledgling rebellion against the Empire is taking form.

The visual style of the series is inspired by the original Star Wars trilogy concept art by Ralph McQuarrie.

The series features new characters, along with some from the original trilogy and from the previous CGI series, The Clone Wars.

Outline

While Hera is being tortured by Governor Pryce, Ezra, Kanan and Sabine prepare to extract her from Imperial captivity. With Admiral Thrawn absent on Coruscant, they infiltrate the Lothalian Imperial command centre using gliders they built to look like Loth-bats, and as Ezra and Sabine secure a gunship as an escape craft, Kanan recovers Hera’s kalikori – an important family heirloom that was taken by Thrawn earlier in the series – and frees Hera before she (under the effect of a truth serum) can reveal the location of the Rebel base. As they attempt to escape on one of the gliders, Kanan instructs Hera to land them inside Lothal City’s fuel depot. Just as Ezra and Sabine pick them up, Pryce orders her troops to open fire on the fuel tanks, causing an explosion. Caught on top of the tank, Kanan uses the Force to control the explosion and push Hera and his friends away from the blast, at the cost of his own life.
