Deep dives
Sabine's Discovery and the Star Map
Sabine discovers vital information about Thrawn and the secret star map, which is essential to the enemy's plan. She traces the droids that attacked her to Elsbith's factories on Corellia, leading Ahsoka to join her in the search.
The Corellian Shipyards and Hyperdrive
Ahsoka and Sundula travel to the Corellian shipyards and witness the construction of a massive hyperdrive for Elsbith's ship. Chopper discreetly attaches a tracking device to the hyperdrive, while Ahsoka has the shipyard workers arrested.
Ahsoka and Ren's Reunion
During their mission, Ahsoka is contacted by Ren, who is ready to become her padawan again and help find Ezra Bridger. They forge a new partnership and commitment to finding their missing comrade.
Merrick and Elsbith's Plans
Elsbith, along with Skoll, Hattie, and Merrick, obtain the hyperdrive to complete their ship, the Eye of Sion, and to locate Admiral Thrawn. This sets the stage for the upcoming search for Thrawn and the continuation of their dangerous mission.
Merrick as the Last Inquisitor
One of the main ideas discussed in the podcast is the speculation surrounding Merrick being the last Inquisitor. The speakers ponder where Merrick comes from and question whether he is actually an Inquisitor or someone trained in the Inquisitor fighting style. They consider various theories, including the possibility of Merrick being Ezra or Thrawn. The listeners also explore the significance of Merrick's rusty appearance and discuss the idea that he may have been banished or washed out as an Inquisitor.
The Existence of Imperial Loyalists
Another key point discussed in the podcast is the existence of Imperial loyalists even after the fall of the Empire. The speakers draw parallels to real-world history, mentioning how remnants of Nazi forces continued to exist after World War II. They highlight the scene in the Mandalorian where there are still people working for the Empire in some capacity. The speakers appreciate the show's exploration of the idea that Imperial loyalists would still exist and the notion that the New Republic may choose to ignore or overlook certain activities happening within its territory.
