"Twilight of the Apprentice" Episode Guide | Star Wars Rebels - S2 E21-22

A dark planet with an even darker history, Malachor is a location Jedi are told from a young age to avoid. Home to an ancient Sith temple, it was once the location of a heated battle between Jedi and Sith. Kanan, Ahsoka and Ezra traveled to Malachor in search of knowledge, but were met by evil.

In search of a way to truly defeat the Inquisitors, Kanan Jarrus, Ahsoka Tano, and Ezra Bridger made their way to Malachor. The Sith temple greeted them with it's looming pillars covered in text written in the “old tongue” and Ezra unwittingly opens one of the temple's door when the trio go to inspect them. Upon entering, the rebels discover that the temple was a battlefield and learn that they are not alone. While Ahsoka and Kanan fended off the Inquisitors, Ezra uncovered a Sith holocron containing the knowledge they seek. No one leaves the Sith temple unchanged.

Sith holocrons hold knowledge and wisdom that can only be accessed by dark side practitioners. The artifacts can also be used as keys to unlock temple doors. The Sith temple on Malachor was the home of a Sith holocron that Maul attempted to steal with the help of Ezra Bridger. When placed in the temple's obelisk, the holocron could create a super weapon, designed to take life. Maul's plans were foiled, however, when Ezra and his Master Kanan were able to pull the holocron from the obelisk just in time.

Nimble and menacing, the Eighth Brother was a deadly Terrelian Jango Jumper Inquisitor. Dispatched by Darth Vader, he was sent to Malachor to attempt to find and capture Maul, and instead found himself face to face with Ezra Bridger, Kanan Jarrus, and Ahsoka Tano. The Eighth Brother often used his double-bladed, spinning lightsaber to propel himself through the air, making for sneak attacks and quick escapes. This method proved unwise, however, when he jumped off the edge of the Malachor Sith Temple with his damaged lightsaber, and fell to his death.

Former Jedi Knight Ahsoka Tano once served as the Padawan learner to the Jedi Anakin Skywalker during the Clone Wars. A respected leader and warrior attuned to the light side of the Force, Ahsoka grew into a formidable fighter before the Empire’s reign changed the course of galactic history. Although she walked away from the Jedi Order, she continued to stand up for those fighting for peace and justice in the galaxy long after the fall of the Republic.
