With the bloodshed of the clone war seeming to be headed for an end, the former Jedi padawan
Ahsoka Tano presented a dilemma for the Jedi, as the renegade Sith Maul had become a threat
on Mandalore, which could not be ignored. Providing a compromise of a small regiment
of clone troopers, Ahsoka joins the leader of Maul’s dissidents Bo Katan, and after
managing to find the former Sith, a brief break in the battle, allows them to ask for
the guidance and brief Obi-Wan Kenobi. The Jedi master had been on the planet of Utapau,
in search of the commander of the droid army General Grievous, hoping that his death would
end the war, and revealed that Anakin had killed Count Dooku, so the last remaining
hope to provide the identity of Darth Sidious remained with Maul. With the battle on Mandalore
continuing, Obi-Wan promises Ahsoka, that he would tell Anakin that she did not approve,
of his assignment to spy on the Chancellor, and that would prove to be their final words
to each other. But what if Ahsoka and Obi-Wan had met after Order 66? Could they have worked
together to stop the Empire? As you will discover, the meeting of these former friends, could
have altered the course of the Rebellion… Aboard the light freighter known as the Ghost,
Ahsoka Tano and Ezra Bridger were seated in the cabin of Kanan Jarrus, observing a hologram
of the Jedi knight Anakin Skywalker. The door to their room soon slid open, and eager to
continue their hunt for the Inquisitors, Ahsoka remarked that they would normally turn to
Obi-Wan or Yoda. Kanan suggests that they should look for these former Jedi, and having
previously communicated with the Jedi Grandmaster, Kanan is adamant that they should head to
the Jedi Temple on Lothal. Once within the Temple, the three Force users meditate together,
and it is Ezra who manages to reach out to the Grandmaster, and asking if he could join
their plight or locate Obi-Wan, Yoda stated that all of the answers they required were
already in their minds, but should they need it, the Jedi could seek the planet of Malachor,
before the cave began to collapse with the attack from the Inquisitors. Returning to
the Phantom, Ahsoka is wary about heading to Malachor, a planet that had been off limits
for the Jedi, and decides they should first try to work out what they already knew. Failing
to initially make any progress in locating Obi-Wan, the presence of Chopper gave Ahsoka
an idea, and utilising a secret transmission code that she had obtained, when she first
joined the Rebellion, she found Bail Organa. The Jedi and Ahsoka ask the Senator if they
knew anything about the whereabouts of Obi-Wan, and although he is initially reluctant, he
deploys R2-D2 and C3P0 to deliver the coordinates of the Jedi master to the Ghost crew. Disguised
as passengers aboard a small liner, the Ghost crew collect the droids above Atollon, and
heading back to the Rebel base, they discover the Jedi master is currently on Tatooine.
Hera Syndulla is sceptical that somebody of Obi-Wan’s calibre, would be residing on
such a remote planet, but Ahsoka could not sense that this information had been tampered
with, and also knew that her old master Anakin hated the planet, making it a perfect place
for a recluse. Taking a T6 Shuttle away from the Rebel base, she is accompanied by Ezra
and Chopper, and together they breach the harsh sandstorms to their coordinates. With
the sand finally clearing, Ahsoka can see the gently burning fire of Obi-Wan, and she
stopped in her tracks, with a kaleidoscope of emotions through her mind. Before Ezra
could question her, Ahsoka took the last few steps to the Jedi master, and the Jedi master
beckoned them to sit beside him. Still failing to look at Ahsoka, the Togruta could sense
a mix of shame and regret from Obi-Wan, growing from his failure to stop Anakin turning to
the dark side. Ezra had not experienced these thoughts, and asks Obi-Wan for his help on
how to combat Vader and the Inquisitors. Finally having the courage to look at his guests,
he calmly declared that his days fighting were now over, and he was focused on his last
mission. Gazing over the shoulder of the Jedi, Ahsoka could see the distant silhouette of
a modest hut, and saw a young boy running across the plains, sensing something familiar
about him. By reaching through the Force, her eyes widened by a Force presence akin
to Anakin, and she deduced that this must be his son. As the Rebels about to leave,
they all sense another presence, but this one was much darker, and it was an Imperial
star destroyer, which had tracked their ship from Atollon on the orders of Darth Vader.
A squadron of Imperial TIE class fighters dropped from the skies, firing in their direction,
and they ducked under the cover of Obi-Wan’s home. But soon this was not a viable option,
with the walls beginning to crumble around them, and the Jedi master realised he had
outlived his occupation on Tatooine. Whilst Ahsoka and Ezra deflected the fire on the
ship, and pulled them from the skies, Obi-Wan ran into the Lars home, and dragged Luke away
from Beru and Owen, which they did not react well to. Firing their blaster rifles at the
Jedi master, he easily deflected the shots with his lightsaber, before running into the
swirling sands, where he knew the Empire would lose track of them. Returning to their T6
Shuttle, Ahsoka manages to divert the ship from the Empire, and they return to a Rebel
rendezvous point. The hologram of senator Organa is there to greet Obi-Wan and the Rebels,
and following the advice from Yoda, the Rebels ask the Jedi master to join him on a trip
to Malachor. Reluctantly leaving Luke in the hands of Sabine and Zeb, Obi-Wan joins the
Phoenix squadron, knowing that an encounter with the dark side awaited them all.
