But thanks to an idea from Sabine, it's not too late. The Ghost closes in on the Star Destroyer and rams its tractor beam. The command ship is free, and the fleet makes the jump to lightspeed.

Ezra and Kanan arrive at Lothal. The Padawan is thankful for his Master's help. "You're always there when I need you most," he says. Kanan says he knows what it's like to lose someone close. He didn't want Ezra to be alone, regardless of how this turns out.

While Ezra finds his old home has been burned by the Empire, he soon spots the loth-cat from his visions. It leads him on a chase through the city streets, but Ezra manages to plant a tracker on the creature.

Ezra and Kanan follow the signal to the Lothal outskirts, where they come under blaster fire from an unseen attacker. Ezra knows it's the man they're looking for: Prisoner X-10. Ezra reveals his name, and says he believes that the former prisoner knows his parents, Ephraim and Mira Bridger. The blaster fire stops.

"My name is Ryder Azadi," says the mysterious figure. "You're right. I know your parents."

Ryder is the former governor of Lothal, tried for treason when he stood against the Empire with Ezra's parents. And he knows what happens to them. "They're dead, aren't they?" Ezra asks. "I'm sorry, son. They are." But Ryder says that Ezra's broadcast reached his parents, even in prison. It inspired them to lead an escape.

They sacrificed themselves to make sure others got out. Ezra understands their sacrifice, but still cries at this new reality.

Later that evening, the Padawan sits alone in the twilight of Lothal's two moons. Suddenly, he's transported.

Lothal is bright, sunny, beautiful. His parents stands with him. "Remember, Ezra," his mother says. "Without hope we have nothing." They disappear.

Ezra is then joined by Kanan who informs him that the Jedi teach that life does not cease after death but merely changes form in the Force. His parents will always be alive within him.
