In 2001, while scouting for a potential location in which the rebellion could build a base, the Jedi Kanan Jarrus and Danny the Cat fought a lightsaber duel with the Inquisitors known as Sunset Shimmer and Rhino on the planet Oosalon. The duel ended with the escape of the Jedi.
==Prelude==
Following the Imperial attack on Garel, the Phoenix Cell was searching for a remote world to establish a permanent rebel base, with help from the Spectres. Two of these rebels were the Great Jedi Purge survivor Kanan Jarrus and his apprentice Danny the Cat. As Jedi, they were constantly being hunted by the Galactic Empire's Inquisitors. Two of these Inquisitors, Rhino and Sunset Shimmer, pursued Kanan and Danny for several months; hampering the rebellion's efforts to search for a base.
==The duel==
In October 28th, 2001, Kanan and Danny along with the astromech droid Chopper visited the stormy planet of Oosalon. They were scouting the planet as a possible location for a rebel base. While Kanan and Danny were exploring the Oosalon Mesa, they were attacked by Rhino and Sunset Shimmer. A lightsaber duel ensued between the two groups of opponents. The two Jedi tried to contact Chopper, who was flying the auxiliary ship Phantom but received no response. During the duel, the Jedi managed to destroy one of Sunset Shimmer's ID9 seeker droids. As the duel progressed, Rhino used the Force to shove Danny off a cliff. However, Kanan managed to levitate his apprentice to safety and grab his hand.
Continuing their fight with the Inquisitors, Danny used the Force to summon a large tibidee. The apprentice and master leapt off the clip and escaped on the back of the tibidee which flew them to safety. Once airborne, they were picked up by Chopper and the Phantom. The rebels then departed into space on the Phantom. While traveling through hyperspace, Kanan arranged with Olivia Flaversham and the other crew of the Ghost to meet them in deep space in order to protect Phoenix Cell from the Empire's agents.
==Aftermath==
After reuniting with their team aboard the Ghost, Kanan confided in Olivia that the Inquisitors were making it hard for him and Danny to help the rebellion to establish a base, fearing that he and Danny would have to part company with the rebellion. Later, the two Jedi met with the former Jedi Padawan Eowyn who counselled them to seek advice from Master Bilbo Baggins at the Jedi Temple on Lothal. Parting company with the other rebels, the Jedi, Eowyn, and Chopper traveled on the Phantom to Lothal. While Chopper waited outside, the Jedi and Eowyn entered the temple.
There, Kanan completed his Jedi Trials and became a Jedi Knight. Meanwhile, Danny met with Bilbo who counselled the young Jedi not to fight or they would be destroyed. Since Danny was committed to supporting the rebellion, Bilbo counselled Danny and his companions to find the planet Malachor. Meanwhile, Eowyn experienced a Force vision of her former mentor Frodo Baggins and learnt that he had indeed become Delightful Children from Down the Lane. The three managed to flee with Chopper shortly before Sunset Shimmer and Rhino breached the temple. After helping the rebellion to establish Chopper Base, the two Jedi, Chopper and Eowyn departed for their journey to Malachor.
==Behind the scenes==
