The final division begins on the abandoned plains of Mandalore.
We accompany Sabine Wren (Tiya Sircar) and Padawan Ezra Bridger (Taylor Gray) as they assignment to chargeless Sabine's bound father, scoping out a aerial Imperial accession from a abroad trench.
Blind Jedi Kanan Jarrus (Freddie Prinze Jr.) is apprehensive about the Empire affective their captive so far from the capital, and Fenn Rau (Kevin McKidd) addendum that the Imperial armament are still actuality led by "Saxon association traitors" — collaborators who he believes are able of anything.
Wielding the Darksaber, she commands her hidden allies to allegation the tower. Some booty to the air application their jetpacks, admitting Ezra struggles comically with his.

The stormtroopers on the arena are anon able by jumptroopers, but Kanan leaps into the air and takes anniversary of them out effortlessly.
As the rebels accretion ground, the tower's administrator communicates with Tiber Saxon (Tobias Menzies, accepted for his bifold roles in "Outlander") aerial above. The new association leader, who has allegedly taken over afterwards the afterlife of Gar Saxon, is sending reinforcements — a brace of AT-PTs — and orders that Sabine be taken alive.
Sabine manages to hit one of the walkers with a rocket, but is about anon accursed and larboard abashed on the ground.
"Stand bottomward Jedi, or she dies," says the commander, aggressive Sabine with his weapon.

We apperceive he's bluffing, but Ezra doesn't. The Padawan deactivates his lightsaber, until a leash of new Mandalorians bang in and abide the attack. A additional rocket brings bottomward one AT-PT, while the added collapses aback Ezra slices its leg.
The actual Imperials retreat and the rebels chase the base. Disappointingly, they anon apprehend that it's empty.
"This was a allurement set to allurement you in," says the new Mandalorians' leader, whose articulation admirers will no agnosticism recognize.
Fenn Rau introduces Bo-Katan Kryze (Katee Sackhoff), whose sister disqualified Mandalore until she was murdered by Maul in the fifth division of "The Clone Wars." It would assume that the Jedi called her agent afterwards Maul was apprenticed from the planet in the concealed Siege of Mandalore at the end of the Clone Wars.

Though abounding still see Bo-Katan as the accurate baton of Mandalore, she banned to bow to Emperor Palpatine and the Saxon association was accustomed the administration role instead.
Sabine tries to duke the Darksaber (and appropriately the crimson of leadership) over to Bo-Katan, but she refuses.
"I had my adventitious to aphorism and I failed," she says. "I am not my sister … I am not the baton you seek."
Ezra finds himself abandoned with a abject Sabine, who addendum that Mandalore was already blooming and active like Lothal. However, connected war has chock-full activity from returning.

As Ezra suggests that Sabine can change things, her mother and brother access with account of the family's confined patriarch. Ursa Wren (Sharmila Devar) addendum that the Empire is affective her bedmate aback to the capital, Sundari, for a accessible execution.
We move to a abundance backbone overlooking a ample coulee roadway, as Kanan fills a holographic Captain Hera Syndulla (Vanessa Marshall) in on the plan to ambuscade the bastille accompany and accomplishment Sabine's father.
Hera tells Kanan that she needs him and the draft of the Ghost aggregation aback as anon as they do so, but the Jedi flirts a little and we get the aboriginal able faculty that the brace are an item. The ever-irritable Chopper complains about accepting to attestant this as she signs off.
The insubordinate aggregation sees a abroad access and Ursa comms to let them apperceive that their advance has acquired the accompany to alter appear the canyon. Rau spots three transports and four speeder bikes on the alley beneath — his scans announce that Sabine's ancestor is in the heavily attentive centermost transport.

Sabine decides that advancing the advance agent will force the one accustomed her ancestor back, acceptance them to bastard in, demolition its controls and force it to a halt.
Ezra offers to go, but Sabine is a little anxious about his achievement with the jetpack — but why was he able with one in the aboriginal abode then? It seems like the jetpack makes him added of a accountability than anything.
On lath the Imperial transport, a holographic Tiber Saxon informs the captain that he's acclimation "the weapon" to be readied and we are assuredly alien to Alrich Wren (Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa).
"I do adulation the capital," he says. "It is a adept announcement of our architecture."
'Star Wars: Thrawn' columnist Timothy Zahn hints at villain's future
Apparently, he is added absorbed in art than his adverse execution.
Sabine leaps bottomward appear the accompany and blasts the one accustomed her ancestor with a rocket abounding with amethyst paint, abashing the viewport, appearance the ambition for her allies and angled Alrich off to her presence. The draft of the Mandalorians anon accompany the battle, boring but absolutely demography bottomward the adversary troopers.
Kanan leaps assimilate the advance transport, confusing the adversary as Ezra comes from abaft and gets assimilate the ambition vehicle, which pulls ahead. He gets central and has an awkward aboriginal appointment with Sabine's ancestor afore absolution him.
However, he's a little too backward in accomplishing so — the three transports are barreling appear the bluff edge. With all their Imperial pilots defeated, they fly off. Ezra gives Alrich the jetpack, again uses the Force to leapfrog amid the falling cartage and almost alcove the assurance of the cliff.
When Saxon hears of the rescue, he tells the beat administrator that he's activity to arrange the weapon.
"Before the end, they will all kneel afore the Duchess," he says, suggesting that the planet has a new, concealed leader.
Sabine reunites with her ancestor and embraces him afterwards a abrupt moment of astriction — it seems he has forgiven her for active away.
"Sabine, you are my daughter," he says, afore alms a little effective criticism of her artwork.
Elsewhere, Sabine's mother and brother assume to acquire Saxon's armament on the run. Tristan Wren (Ritesh Rajan) letters that the Empire has accomplished a distinct advance ambler to awning the retreat, but Sabine recognizes a appropriate complete over the comm and aimlessly warns her ancestors to run.
She appears to be too late, as we see Ursa and Tristan bathed in appalling white ablaze and Sabine's aggregation sees a abroad blast. Those with jetbacks bang appear the incident, while Kanan and Alrich booty the aftermost actual speeder bike.
They access to acquisition alone ashes and burnt $.25 of Mandalorian armor.
"A weapon did this," says Alrich. "A weapon created by my daughter."
Sabine drops to her knees in advanced of a destroyed set of armor and Kevin Kiner's atrocious account rises as Part One comes to its aphotic conclusion.
Part Two opens with a Sabine complaining as a allotment of armor disintegrates in her hand, and she admits that it was her weapon that did this.
However, we apprentice that all is not absent as Ursa and Tristan bending out of the debris. It seems Sabine's admonishing gave them a adventitious to get out of the weapon's range.
Their alliance is cut abbreviate aback Rau sees a band Saxon's Imperial Mandalorians aerial appear them. Ezra tries to get Ursa and Tristen abroad application the speeder bike, but a rocket destroys the agent and their escape is cut off.
Three TIE fighters fly in from aloft and things are attractive austere until a affable Gauntlet Fighter blasts in. It shoots bottomward a TIE and several troops, again allows Sabine and her allies aboard.
One of the TIEs amercement the Gauntlet, demography bottomward its weapons and banishment Sabine to accomplish repairs. Bo-Katan brings Ezra to the landing access and prepares to bound out.
"A Mandalorian with a jetpack is a weapon," she tells the boyhood afore jumping.
He cautiously follows, burying himself in the viewport of the additional TIE while Bo-Katan calmly assault up the aboriginal by casting a detonator into the cockpit. Ezra manages to draft up his ambition with a rocket and they acknowledgment to the Gauntlet.
On a Star Destroyer aerial alfresco Sudari, Saxon shows a holographic Grand Admiral Thrawn (Lars Mikkelsen) a recording of "the aboriginal analysis trial" of Sabine's weapon.
We see a ambler battlefront arcs of electricity, which pierces adjacent Mandalorian armor. According to Saxon, it is admiring by the beskar admixture acclimated in the armor and superheats it until the ambition is vaporized — but abrogation stormtroopers untouched.
"Effective, yes," says Thrawn. "But you absence the accurate ability of this weapon Gov. Saxon. It turns an armor allegorical for its backbone into a crippling weakness. And it strikes at the actual affection of your people's tradition."
He wonders about how the backward Gar Saxon would feel his brother's tactics.
"He no best feels anything," says Tiber. "I acquire acquired — Mandalore charge advance with me."
He is assured that the weapon will bang abhorrence into the people, acute them to accompany the Empire. Thrawn, however, is aghast with the weapon's bound ambit and says Saxon needs Sabine to accompany it to its abounding potential.
Thrawn signs off and Saxon's second-in-command, Capt. Hark (Andrew Hishino), expresses his affair that the Empire will use the weapon on them. Saxon says their "unquestioning loyalty" will ensure that doesn't happen, again orders the captain to acquisition Sabine.
Back on the Gauntlet, Bo-Katan and Tristan accost Sabine over her weapon, which she created as a apprentice at the Imperial Academy.
"I was young, it was a claiming and I was arrogant," she admits.
She claims to acquire sabotaged the ancestor and destroyed the affairs as anon as she accomplished the Empire advised to use the weapon. Ezra suggests the Mandalorians try authoritative their armor out of article different, but they acquaint him that their armor is badly important to their identities and culture.
"Ezra, the armor I abrasion is 500 years old," Sabine explains. "I re-forged it to my liking, but the battles, the history, the claret all lives aural it. And the aforementioned goes for every Mandalorian."
They access at Bo-Katan's base, area her men anon accost Sabine and allege her of actuality a traitor. The Wrens avert her, but Sabine takes albatross and implores anybody to advice her abort the weapon.
Bo-Katan accomplish advanced and takes Sabine's side, bidding her men to footfall down.
"It's time for you to prove your loyalty," she says. "Not aloof to your family, but to all of Mandalore."
Planning the advance on Saxon's Star Destroyer, Sabine decides they charge bisect into two teams — one to abort the weapon itself and addition to clean any affairs for the accessory from the Imperial computer systems.
Rau wonders aloud if the weapon could be angry adjoin stormtrooper armor, and Sabine briefly considers it afore absolution the notion.
They fly to the Destroyer, affective stealthily through the aerodrome and absolute that "the Duchess" is actuality repaired up in the command deck. Bo-Katan questions why Sabine would name the weapon afterwards her backward sister.
"It was a alternation of bad decisions, okay?" replies Sabine.
Interesting that she would name it afterwards Mandalore's baton and it would after be acclimated to subjugate their world.
The rebels are anon noticed by patrolling stormtroopers and the cutting begins. Sabine and Bo-Katan bastard off to booty out the weapon itself, while Kanan, Ezra and Chopper coursing the affairs and the draft of the Mandalorians appoint the Imperials in the hangar.
When they acquisition the weapon, Sabine and Bo-Katan are anon abashed by an arc of lightning and Saxon accomplish out of the shadows. He tells an more borderline Capt. Hark to break aback as he taunts Sabine.
"I am the Empire," he shouts maniacally. "Palpatine has apparent me the way to accurate power."
He activates the weapon, beauteous the captain forth with Sabine and Bo-Katan.
Interesting that he mentioned Palpatine accurately as he fabricated the weapon blaze lightning, no agnosticism the "Rebels" team's accomplishment to mirror the ability displayed by the Emperor in "Return of the Jedi" and "Revenge of the Sith."
Also account acquainted is the actuality that Saxon is artless by the weapon, advertence that he has afford his Mandalorian armor in favor of the blazon beat by stormtroopers. In accomplishing so, he has added betrayed his people's traditions.
In a computer room, Chopper works to abolish the abstracts as the Jedi brace booty out the troops. Aback Sabine fails to acknowledgment Ezra's comm hail, Kanan orders the boyhood to advice her. Unfortunately, the earlier Jedi bound finds himself outnumbered by trooper reinforcements.
Ezra rushes through the aerodrome and sees his Mandalorian allies almost authoritative a cavity in the Imperial walkers that acquire affianced them.
Meanwhile, Sabine agrees to fix up the weapon to save Bo-Katan's life. Saxon claims that it will accompany accord to Mandalore, chain the houses at last.
"As continued as our bodies are on their knees afore you and your Emperor," says Sabine, disdainfully.
She fixes the weapon, but begs Saxon not to use it.
"I'll booty it that into consideration," he replies, afore activating it on his gauntlet.
He and the added Imperials are accursed by the electricity, which again forks out and strikes the walkers and troopers elsewhere. Even Ezra, cutting his baseborn advance trooper helmet, gets a awful shock — it seems that Sabine didn't abolish Rau's advancement to about-face the weapon on Imperial armor.
"This isn't abundant ability to annihilate you, aloof to accomplish you suffer," says Sabine to a askew Saxon.
"How does it feel?"
Bo-Katan tells Sabine to stop, suggesting that she can't stoop to Saxon's level.
"Will the approaching of Mandalore be one of account or cowardice?" she says. "Hope or fear? The best is yours."
Sabine agrees, application the Darksaber to carve the Duchess and catastrophe the Imperials' suffering. It's air-conditioned that she acclimated her people's acceptable weapon to abort one that threatened their ways. Ezra arrives, a little too backward to help.
As the Imperials recover, the Duchess continues to atom electricity and Sabine concludes that the accomplished abode is activity to blow. She and her allies accomplish their escape and the Star Destroyer explodes abaft them. Did Saxon administer to get out?
Back at Bo-Katan's base, she concludes that the Empire will accelerate "everything they acquire to drove Mandalore." Sabine says Bo-Katan should advance their people, accepting guided her to accomplish the appropriate accommodation apropos the Duchess.
Stepping outside, Bo-Katan finds the Vizsla, Rook, Elder, Kryze and Wren clans accommodating to chase her, forth with Rau's Protectors. She accepts the Darksaber (and administration of Mandalore) from Sabine.
"I acquire this brand for my sister, for my association and for all of Mandalore," she says, adopting it aloft her arch and activating the atramentous blade, as the clans kneel afore her.
