But more Imperials have arrived, including the Inquisitor. The rebels are outnumbered. Chopper finishes his upload, but with Imperials closing in, the team can't leave through the front entrance; Kanan sends them back inside, ignites his lightsaber, and readies for battle.

The Inquisitor leaps down from a gunship, and Kanan attacks; meanwhile, the Ghost crew emerges at the top of the tower. Ezra watches helplessly as the Inquisitor pins Kanan with the Force. With Hera arriving in the Phantom to rescue the team, Kanan commands that they leave him behind.

Back on the Ghost, Ezra completes the group's mission: he makes a broadcast, encouraging bravery in the face of the Empire's evils. In the streets of Lothal and other worlds, his message is heard.

Coldly, Tarkin orders the tower destroyed, while Kanan looks on in disbelief. "You don't know what it takes to win a war," he says. "But I do."

Ezra isn't sure if anyone heard his message, but Hera is confident. They are both, however, in agreement: this isn't over.
