Now, Thrawn and Ezra are back, the New Republic’s very existence is at stake, and it's Sabine and Ahsoka who are lost with no way home. At the end of Rebels, Ezra sacrificed himself to drag Thrawn away using the Purgill to ensure the Rebellion would succeed, with Sabine and Ahsoka leaving to go find him.The series nearly comes to an end like how it started, with Baylan's old-looking Eta-class shuttle docking aboard a New Republic vessel, with the responding New Republic troops having no idea who's onboard.For the conclusion of her own series, Ahsoka faces against Elsbeth again with the aid of another Mandalorian warrior, this time with Sabine saving Ahsoka from the Night Troopers to give Ahsoka the chance to kill Elsbeth.
