Plot edit

To confront the Jedi, Lady Morgan Elsbeth is gifted Mother Talzin's sword by the Great Mothers, while Ezra Bridger constructs a new lightsaber using spare parts from his late master, Kanan Jarrus. After their ship is damaged by a fighter attack, Ahsoka Tano, Sabine Wren, and Bridger make their way on foot to the Chimaera, which has docked with the Eye of Sion, but are confronted by Elsbeth and the Night Troopers, whom the Great Mothers keep resurrecting after they are killed. Wren uses the Force to help Bridger jump onto the Chimaera while Ahsoka kills Elsbeth. The Eye of Sion jumps to hyperspace, leaving Ahsoka, Wren, and Huyang stranded on Peridea. As Grand Admiral Thrawn and the Great Mothers arrive over Dathomir, Bridger escapes and reunites with General Hera Syndulla and Chopper. Ahsoka, Wren, and Huyang join the Noti and make their new home on Peridea, watched over by Anakin Skywalker's spirit. Shin Hati joins the bandits, while Baylan Skoll is guided to a mountain by a statue of the Mortis Gods.
