"A Fool's Hope" Episode Guide | Star Wars Rebels - S4 E14

One of the few to be trained as a Jedi after the fall of the Republic, Ezra Bridger grew up an orphan on the streets of Lothal during the age of the Empire. Although he had learned to be wary of strangers, his introduction to the Ghost crew, a small band of rebels fighting back against the Imperial regime, changed his outlook and his future. Training in the ways of the Force under the mentorship of Kanan Jarrus, Ezra became a Jedi Padawan and a part of the emerging rebellion. He also grew close to Hera Syndulla, Zeb, Chopper, and Sabine Wren, who was like a sister in his new found family. After several years together, Bridger vanished during the Battle of Lothal, disappearing into parts unknown in a hyperspace jump that pulled Ezra and Grand Admiral Thrawn into deep space.

A Noghri assassin, Rukh is an agile hand-to-hand fighter and exceptionally deadly. He loyally serves Grand Admiral Thrawn, handling missions that his master's Imperial subordinates have failed to complete.

Clones Wolffe and Gregor named their mobile headquarters -- a repurporsed AT-AT -- Joopa Base, after the creatures they hunt on the dusty planet Seelos.

Ancient beasts depicted in Lothal cave paintings, little is known about the giant Loth-wolf. Ezra Bridger, a Force-sensitive rebel, believes he encountered a loth-wolf, though none of his crewmates saw the creature.

An active rebel during the age of the Empire, Ryder Azadi returns to his post as governor of Lothal after the New Republic comes to power. When the Empire came to his planet, he stood against Imperial tyranny with Ezra Bridger’s family, and was accused of treason for doing so. He was later freed from an Imperial prison by the Bridgers and returned to Lothal, living in the city outskirts.

Arihnda Pryce was governor of the Lothal Sector, a confident leader, and believer in the Empire. While Lothal was under control, Pryce still wanted to eradicate the rebel threat. To do so, she asked for the Empire’s seventh fleet, citing the need for a commander who “sees a bigger picture.”
