" With Kanan in Imperial custody , Ezra makes a risky deal and sets a plan in motion to save his Master . " Synopsis . Following the events of " Call to Action " , the rebels Ezra Bridger , Sabine Wren , Chopper and Garazeb Orrelios embark on a mission to rescue Kanan Jarrus . At the exposition , they hijack an AT - DP walker on patrol in an attempt to hack into the Imperial data network so that they can find where the Empire was holding Kanan . Since the Empire destroyed Lothal ' s Imperial Communications Center , the entire network was down . After being pursued by two more AT - DP walkers , the rebels headed to the town ' s western border to rendezvous with Hera , who would pick them up with the " Phantom " , the " Ghost " auxiliary ship . While retreating , Zeb exchanged fire with the pursuing walkers but almost fell out of their AT - DP walker . After Sabine got word that Hera Syndulla was on the way , she instructed everyone to get on top of their hijacked AT - DP . However , Chopper ignored that order and remained plugged to the walker ' s terminal in the hope of finding any information about Kanan . Shortly later , Hera showed in the " Phantom " and picked up Ezra , Sabine and Zeb just as one of the pursuing walkers caught up with them . When they realized that Chopper was still in the AT - DP walker , Zeb went back to retrieve him moments before the attacking walker blew it up . After returning to the " Ghost " , Hera received word from Fulcrum that the transmission they sent out had been widely viewed by both civilians and the Imperial authorities . Concerned for the safety of the rebellion , Fulcrum told Hera to abandon their search for Kanan in order to avoid drawing attention to their rebel cell . When Hera shared what Fulcrum had told her , Ezra refused to abandon Kanan . Defying Hera ' s orders , Ezra decided to take matters into his own hands . While Chopper distracted Hera aboard the " Ghost " , Ezra , Sabine and Zeb stole the " Phantom " and headed out into Lothal ' s wilderness to find the Devaronian crime lord Vizago . Vizago was initially unwilling to help the crew of the " Ghost " because their insurgency had led to an increased Imperial presence on Lothal which disrupted his business activities . Despite Sabine ' s protests , Ezra managed to get Vizago to change his mind by revealing that he and Kanan were both Jedi . When Vizago expressed skepticism and disinterest , Ezra used the Force to levitate a crate over his head . Impressed by Ezra ' s display of Force powers , Vizago revealed that the Empire was using courier droids to transfer sensitive information to their communication ship above Lothal since the communication tower ' s destruction had disrupted all long - range communications on Lothal . Vizago suggested that Kanan ' s whereabouts was stored within this data . With their meeting over , Ezra left the ship and found Sabine and Zeb with Hera , who was furious with the three rebels for disobeying her orders . However , Ezra and his fellow rebels refused to abandon Kanan . Outnumbered , Hera reluctantly agreed to help them rescue Kanan and asked Ezra what he had found out from Vizago . Meanwhile , aboard Grand Moff Tarkin ' s Star Destroyer " Sovereign " , Kanan resisted a mental probe by one of Agent Kallus ' interrogator droid s . In an attempt to break the Jedi , the Grand Inquisitor then had Kanan electrocuted . When Kanan refused to divulge any information about Fulcrum and the rebel network , Grand Moff Tarkin ordered that the Jedi be transferred to the Mustafar system , a place that would produced the " desired results . " Using Vizago ' s information , the crew of the " Ghost " devised a plan to intercept one of the Empire ' s courier droids and replace him with Chopper . Once aboard the Imperial communications ship , Chopper would hack into their data network and find out where the Imperials were keeping Kanan . After capturing the courier droid and taking out its stormtrooper escort , Chopper boarded the waiting shuttle disguised as an Imperial droid . The shuttle soon took off and headed for the orbiting communications ship . Soon after boarding , Chopper arrived on the bridge and began hacking into the Imperial Network , but started to catch some unwanted attention from the Imperials . As soon as Chopper downloaded what he was looking for , he signaled for the crew of the " Ghost " to attack the communications ship , giving him time to escape . He opened one of the airlocks and allowed himself to get sucked into the vacuum of space along with four stormtroopers who were behind him . Now in space , Chopper jetted away to the " Ghost " and flew through the bomb bay doors as the Spectres headed back down to Lothal . From the information that Chopper had retrieved , the crew of the " Ghost " discovered that the Imperials were sending Kanan to the Mustafar system . Hera told the others what Kanan had told her about the Mustafar system : it is where the Jedi go to die .
