Mission to the Lothal Jedi Temple Following the rescue of Hera Syndulla , the Spectres undertook a mission to investigate what the Galactic Empire was doing to the Lothal Jedi Temple in 1 BBY . Traveling there with the help of loth - wolves , the Spectres discovered that the Imperial Minister Veris Hydan was trying to unlock a portal that would lead to a realm known as the World between worlds , that would allow the Emperor to alter time and control the universe . Ezra Bridger and Sabine Wren infiltrated the camp . While Sabine was captured , Ezra managed to enter the World between worlds where he saved Ahsoka Tano . Following a brief trial involving Kanan Jarrus ' s death , Ezra and Sabine escaped the Emperor and returned to their times . Before escaping , Ezra and his fellow Spectres managed to lock the portal , which caused the Temple to sink into the ground . Prelude . Following the death of Kanan Jarrus , his Padawan Ezra Bridger encountered several loth - wolves including a white alpha named " Dume " . Kanan had transferred his will into " Dume " following his death . Dume had told Ezra that the Galactic Empire was doing something " terrible " to the Lothal Jedi Temple and given him a stone with symbols that correlated with the hand positions of a mural of the Force wielder s outside the Temple . After consulting with his fellow Spectres , Ezra and his rebel comrades decided to embark on the mission together . Though the Jedi Temple was located far to the north , the Spectres managed to travel by riding loth - wolves , who were capable of traveling swiftly through hyper tunnel s . Upon arriving at the Lothal Jedi Temple , they discovered that the Empire and Mining Guild had set up camp outside the Temple and were in the process of excavating objects including paintings and artifacts . The Imperial excavation project was being supervised by Minister Veris Hydan , who had been ordered by the Emperor to unlock a portal leading to the World between worlds , a realm that could allow one to alter the course of time and control the universe . The mission . Behind enemy lines . Due to the sensitive nature of the Imperial excavation , the Lothal Jedi Temple was guarded by stormtrooper s , scout trooper s , and elite Death trooper s . While Hera Syndulla , Garazeb Orrelios , and Chopper watched from the perimeter , Ezra and Sabine Wren infiltrated the camp . With the help of Zeb , they incapacitated the scout troopers LS - 515 and LS - 412 and stole their armor . Inside the camp , Ezra and Sabine began to examine the artifacts only to be confronted by Minister Hydan , who had issued orders that no objects were to be touched . When the death trooper commander insisted on checking their numbers and clearance codes , Ezra used a Jedi mind trick to convince him otherwise . With the help of Chopper , the Specters also intercepted a HoloNet conversation between the Emperor and Minister Hydan . Hydan informed the Emperor that his excavation team had reached the roots of the temple and uncovered a mural similar to the art from the former Jedi Temple relating to the Force wielders of Mortis : the Father , Daughter , and the Son . The Emperor charged Hydan with unlocking the temple so that he could access the conduit between the living and the dead . While Hera wanted to pull back the team , Ezra insisted on proceeding with the mission . In the end , Hera allowed Ezra and Sabine to proceed but warned them to be prepared to exit the mission . As Minister Hydan ordered that a Mining Guild excavation driller be deployed into position , Ezra and Sabine took an interest in the mural of the Force wielders . Examining a hologram image of the stone , Sabine realized that the symbols of the stone correlated with the hand positions of the Daughter , Father , and Son . While Sabine kept watch , Ezra studied the mural in an effort to find a way to unlock the portal . Sabine was spotted by a pair of stormtroopers , who noted that she was outside a designated patrol area . They brought her to Minister Hydan , who quickly realized that she was a rebel infiltrator . Unlocking the Gateway . Despite Sabine ' s capture , Ezra proceeded with his quest . He managed to unlock the portal by touching the Daughter ' s hand , which initiated a chain reaction that caused the loth - wolves in the mural to " walk " to the right . Ezra followed the loth - wolves , which formed a circular portal . Minister Hydan and several Imperial troops soon cornered Ezra but the rebel managed to escape inside the Gateway . Stormtroopers tried to follow but the Gateway sealed behind him , leaving them on the other side . Minister Hydan then turned his attention to interrogating Sabine on how to unlock the portal . After entering the portal , Ezra found himself inside the World between worlds , a mystical dimension that connected all space and time . Ezra also heard the voices of various individuals from the past , present , and future including Jedi Master s Obi - Wan Kenobi , Yoda , and Darth Vader . Meanwhile , Minister Hydan attempted to enlist Sabine ' s assistance in unlocking the portal through flattery ; taking a particular interest in the changed hand and head positions of the Force wielders on the mural . When she refused to cooperate and taunted him , Hydan had one of his Death troopers slam his blaster rifle butt into her head . Meanwhile , Hera , Zeb , and Chopper continued to monitor the situation despite losing contact with both Sabine and Ezra . At Hera ' s prompting , the Spectres infiltrated the camp with the objective of freeing Sabine . Hera decided to activate one of the thrusters under Hydan ' s mobile command center in order to create a distraction to free Sabine . Hera also tasked Zeb with discreetly signally Sabine when the thruster was ready . Chopper also kept watch over the excavation site . A reunion and test . Inside the World between Worlds , Ezra encountered the convor Morai , a winged bird associated with his old friend Ahsoka Tano . He then stumbled across a portal of Tano dueling with Darth Vader at the Malachor Sith temple during their ill - fated mission to Malachor two years earlier . As the two fought , Tano struck her lightsaber threw the Malachor superweapon , causing the floor beneath to collapse . Before Tano could fall inside the chasm , Ezra puller her to safety . After awakening , Ezra reunited with Tano , who was grateful to both him and Morai for saving her . When Tano asked how he got here and where Kanan was , Ezra revealed that a few years had passed since their last encounter on Malachor . After Ezra related Kanan ' s last stand and death , Tano revealed that Kanan had become one with the Cosmic Force and that he had transferred his presence into the loth - wolf known as " Dume . " Believing that he could save his late master in the same way that he had saved Tano , Ezra approached a portal which showed Kanan holding back the fiery explosion during their escape from the Lothal City fuel depot . Realizing that Kanan ' s sacrifice had enabled the other rebels to escape , Tano convinced the younger Jedi to honor his master ' s sacrifice because Kanan had found his calling in life . Ezra agreed and realized that this was his master ' s final lesson . After hearing some rumbling , Tano told Ezra that they had to seal the portal and return to their own times . Before they could do so , the Emperor appeared on the other side of the portal . He attempted to use Sith sorcery to capture Ezra and Ahsoka , two enemies who had eluded the Empire . Sealing the Portal . Back at Hydan ' s mobile command center , Sabine realized that the Son served as the means for sealing the portal . When Hydan suggested that they could work together , Sabine received a coded signal in the form of knocking from Zeb . Meanwhile , Hera activated the thruster , causing the mobile command center to tilt over and fall on its top . Sabine and her rebel comrades managed to escape the falling command center before it fell on top of several crates in the landing pad . They then headed towards the portal to rescue Ezra . Meanwhile , Ezra and Ahsoka ran from the Emperor ' s blue flames , which manifested in the form of tendrils . One of the tendrils caught Ezra ' s ankle but Ahsoka cut him free with one of her lightsabers . The two then managed to return to their portals , frustrating the Emperor ' s attempts to capture them . Ezra emerged from the portal just as his fellow rebels arrived . They were pursued by Imperial troops but Chopper hijacked the Mining Guild excavation driller and forced the Imperials to retreat from the portal . At Ezra ' s urging , the rebels worked together to seal the portal . Under Sabine ' s guidance and with Zeb ' s help , Ezra touched the Son , who then suggested the possibility of changing the future . Ezra fell back onto Zeb , who caught him . The Father then moves his hand as the Son joined his hands and sunk with the Daughter . The rebels then escaped aboard the excavation drill as the Lothal Jedi Temple sunk into the ground , consuming Hydan in the process . Aftermath . Following their escape from the Lothal Jedi Temple , Sabine drove them to safety while Ezra experiencing a Force vision from Kanan , who told him that the Force would always be with him . Later , they traveled to the site where Ezra and Kanan had first entered the Temple for his Jedi Trials four years earlier . Ezra and Hera then made peace with Kanan ' s passing before returning to the driller . The sealing of the portal to the World between Worlds and the sinking of the Jedi Temple frustrated the Emperor ' s ambition to change the course of time in his quest to dominate the universe .
