Quotes

Part One: Master and Apprentice

Baylan Skoll: Thank you for allowing us to come on board, Captain... Captain Hayle: Hayle. If you don't me saying, it's quite a surprise meeting Jedi out here. Skoll: Our existence remains a mystery to most, Captain Hayle. Hayle: I bet it does. You put on a good show, but, uh... I don't buy it. Skoll: I don't understand. Hayle: You're no Jedi. Just some overconfident Imperial trash who just pushed their luck too far. Skoll: You're making a mistake. Hayle: And you, sir, should have surrendered when the Empire collapsed. Jakris, get RD-3 to scan these impostors for identification. Skoll: Allow me to show you our identification. Skoll: You were right about one thing, Captain: We are no Jedi. [impales Hayle with his lightsaber] Hera Syndulla: What's their connection to Morgan Elsbeth? Ahsoka Tano: I have known her to hire mercenaries in the past. Syndulla: Well, the investment paid off. They vanished without a trace. Tano: The day wasn't a total loss. [holds up an engraved sphere] Syndulla

Part Two: Toil and Trouble

Morgan Elsbeth: This is our galaxy. [the projection aligns to create a pathway to another galaxy] That is our destination, where Grand Admiral Thrawn is banished. Baylan Skoll: The Pathway to Peridea? Elsbeth: Some call it that. Skoll: The children at the Jedi Temple call it that. Comes from old stories. Fairy tales. Elsbeth: Tales which are based on truths. Skoll: You're certain of this? I feel the path forward is clouded. Elsbeth: [closes her eyes, hearing whispers] Thrawn calls to me... across time and space. Skoll: You speak of dreams. Vague and fractured hopes. Elsbeth: The threads of fate do not lie. Shin Hati: Master... what happens when we find Thrawn? Baylan Skoll: For some, war. For others... a new beginning. Hati: And for us? Skoll: Power. Such as you've never dreamed.

Part Three: Time to Fly

Senator Xiono: General, be honest. Isn't this just another attempt to gain New Republic resources to aid in what has ultimately been your personal quest to find Ezra Bridger? Syndulla: Ezra vanished while fighting Thrawn. Xiono: And that you conveniently use the threat of Thrawn's return to acquire those resources that could be put to a more practical purpose, helping the people of our fledgling Republic? Syndulla: Were you ever in the war, Senator? Xiono: [long pause] No. Syndulla: Just sat back and waited to see who came out on top? Senator Mawood: General Syndulla, I am sure we are all grateful for your service and role in restoring the Republic. Now we, as Senators, serve the people of that Republic, and I can tell you they want no part in any further conflict. Syndulla: You act like we have a choice. Senator Rodrigo: Don't we? [scoffs] I see no enemy. The Imperial Fleet is scattered and broken. They have no centralized command. Syndulla: Unless Thrawn returns. Xiono: Make your poi

Part Four: Fallen Jedi

Baylan Skoll: Anakin spoke highly of you. Ahsoka Tano: Interesting. He never mentioned you. Skoll: [removes his cloak] Everyone in the Order knew Anakin Skywalker. Few would live to see what he became. Surely that must leave a mark. Is that why you walked away? Abandoned him? Tano: [removes her own cloak] I'm not here to discuss my past. Skoll: The only reason I'm here is to secure the future. Tano: For you? Skoll: Something far greater. Tano: Ambitious. Skoll: Necessary. Tano: And you find starting another war necessary? Skoll: I'm not starting a war. But Thrawn will. It is an unfortunate evil, but speaks to a greater truth: One must destroy in order to create. Baylan Skoll: You should do as your Master says. Destroy it. She would have done it. Sabine Wren: Stay back! Skoll: But you're not like her, though, are you? Wren: More than you know. Skoll: I know you feel that Ezra Bridger is the only family you have left. Wren: [shaken] You don't know what you're talking about. Skoll: I know

Part Five: Shadow Warrior

Ahsoka Tano: Anakin. You look the same. Anakin Skywalker: You look old. Tano: [scoffs] Well, that happens. [confused] Actually, what happened? Skywalker: You lost a fight. Tano: I don't remember. Skywalker: Trust me. You lost. Tano: ...Baylan Skoll. Skywalker: So, you do remember. That's good. Tano: Why? Skywalker: It means you still have a chance. Tano: A chance? Skywalker: To live. Tano: Tell me what's going on. Skywalker: I'm here to finish your training. Tano: It's a little late for that. Skywalker: One is never too old to learn, Snips. Tano: All right... what's the lesson, Master? Skywalker: Live... [ignites his lightsaber] or die. Tano: I won't fight you. Skywalker: I've heard that before.

Part Five: Shadow Warrior

Anakin Skywalker: Ahsoka, within you is everything I am. All the knowledge I possess, just as I inherited knowledge from my Master, and he from his. You're part of a legacy. Ahsoka Tano: But my part of that legacy is one of death and war. Skywalker: But you're more than that, because I'm more than that. Tano: You are more, Anakin... but more powerful and dangerous than anyone realized. Skywalker: Is that what this is about? Tano: If I am everything you are... Skywalker: You've learned nothing. Tano: Don't say that! Skywalker: I gave you a choice. Live... [ignites his lightsaber, with a red blade this time, his eyes now yellow with the dark side] or die. Tano: No. Skywalker: Incorrect. Anakin/Vader: You lack conviction! [furiously batters away at Ahsoka] Time to die. Tano: I choose to live. Skywalker: There's hope for you yet.

Part Six: Far, Far Away

Grand Admiral Thrawn: What was first just a dream has become a frightening reality to those who may oppose us. Great Mothers, I salute you. [the Great Mothers bow] Soon, we shall all escape this exile thanks to the efforts of Morgan Elsbeth. Morgan Elsbeth: I am ever your servant, Grand Admiral. Thrawn: [indicates a trooper with a golden mask] This is Enoch, captain of my guard. He will begin the cargo transfer as per my agreement with the Great Mothers. Elsbeth: I have seen the catacombs. It will take some time. At least three rotations. Thrawn: An acceptable timeframe. Great Mothers: They have brought a prisoner. Thrawn: You never spoke of this. Great Mothers: We did not see it. It is a loose thread. Thrawn: Well, speak to me of this "loose thread". Baylan Skoll: I brought the prisoner. I felt she could be of some use to us. Thrawn: And you are? Elsbeth: Mercenaries. Baylan Skoll and his apprentice, Shin Hati. Thrawn: Then you must be General Baylan Skoll of the Jedi Order. Skoll: I

Part Six: Far, Far Away

Grand Admiral Thrawn: Sabine Wren. Sabine Wren: Thrawn. Thrawn: What a delight it is after so long to see a familiar face. I understand it is you I have to thank for my escape from exile. Wren: Where is Ezra? Thrawn: Ah, yes. The desire to be reunited with your long-lost friend. How that singular focus will reshape our galaxy. Wren: Just answer the question. Thrawn: No need for hostility. I'm aware of your agreement with Baylan Skoll, and I intend to honor it. [Enoch removes her restraints] You shall have provisions, a mount, and our latest intel on Bridger's whereabouts. Wren: So that's it? You're just gonna let me walk out of here? Thrawn: You helped my cause. Now I shall help yours. You should know, though, that once my starship departs, you'll be stranded here forever. It's also quite possible that your friend... is dead. Wren: If you survived, I'm sure he's doing just fine. Thrawn: You have gambled the fate of your galaxy on that belief. Wren: You wouldn't understand. Thrawn: Perh

Part Seven: Dreams and Madness

Captain Enoch: Grand Admiral, as you anticipated, the mine field was triggered by a pod of arriving star whales. Among them was a T-6 class Jedi shuttle. Grand Admiral Thrawn: [smirks] It would seem Ahsoka Tano is alive and well after all. Morgan Elsbeth: [hands him a data tablet] Here is everything the Inquisitorial database had on her. Thrawn: Her Master was General Anakin Skywalker? Elsbeth: Yes. Thrawn: [to Enoch] You're certain there's only the one starship? Enoch: Correct, Grand Admiral. Our fighters have already engaged the target and pursued them into the debris field. Thrawn: Excellent. That'll be all, Captain. Withdraw the fighters and have them standby. [Enoch ends communication] Elsbeth: Why not allow them to follow? Thrawn: There's no need to waste our resources. Elsbeth: With due respect, Grand Admiral, without pursuit we shall lose them in the debris field. Thrawn: You're quite right, of course. Jedi are very good at hiding; they've been practicing that for years. Howeve

Part Eight: The Jedi, The Witch, and The Warlord

Morgan Elsbeth: Grand Admiral, the cargo transfer is complete. Grand Admiral Thrawn: Good. Very good indeed. [to Enoch] Bring the Eye of Sion out of high orbit so that we may begin the interlocking procedure. Captain Enoch: Com-scan believes they have a fix on the Jedi shuttle's location. Thrawn: Dispatch two TIE fighters. If they find their mark, tell them to engage. [Enoch bows and leaves] Elsbeth: There is little the Jedi can do to stop us now. Thrawn: I've watched many an Imperial officer make the same assumptions about the Rebellion. Even I fell victim to the heroics of a single Jedi. Never again. Huyang: Stop that! Everything in here is organized! Ezra Bridger: Yeah, disorganized. Huyang: I have a system. Bridger: So do I. Huyang: You, sir, have a method, not a system, or anything resembling a process. Who taught you how to build a lightsaber, anyway? Wren: [from the doorway] Kanan Jarrus. Huyang: Is that so? Bridger: Yeah. He was my Master. Taught me everything I know. Huyang: A
