These Imperials turn out to be Ensign Durpin and Sub - Ensign Plumestriker , two disgraced Imperial officer s who had been reassigned to Hoth after the destruction of the Emperor Palpatine Museum on Naboo . While Durpin was happy at being reassigned to a quiet posting , Plumestriker regarded it as a punishment and sought to get back into the Empire ' s good books .

Delighted , Naare assembles all the shards together while Rowan and his family make a silent getaway . With a flash of Force - lightning , the Kyber Saber is restored until it falls apart , one of the pieces melting into the snow . Dengar realizes that the piece that Rowan gave up was a shard of ice , as Graballa realizes the shards for what they really are . Outsmarted by Rowan , Naare turns to find the " StarScavenger " leaving Hoth and she screams in rage at being cheated of the Kyber Saber Escaping Hoth .

He gives his farewells before going into hyperspace , leaving his siblings behind .
