Ahsoka Tano and the crew of The Ghost seek very different targets in a clip from the fall premiere of Star Wars Rebels season 2.
The new sneak peek is from “The Lost Commanders,” the first half-hour installment of Star Wars Rebels season 2. In the episode, the crew of The Ghost will find themselves hunting down potential allies, while Ahsoka seeks out an enemy who was once her closest comrade.
The clip from Star Wars Rebels season 2, episode 3 also makes it clear that Ahsoka is keeping more than a few secrets from Kanan, Hera, and the crew of The Ghost.
As the preview for Star Wars Rebels season 2 indicates, Ahsoka is sending the crew out to find Commander Rex and his fellow surviving Clone Troopers. But Anakin’s former padawan isn’t sharing the specifics of their quarry with Kanan; “You must trust him,” are the only instructions Ahsoka offers.
The reason for this is pretty clear — the Clone Troopers were responsible for carrying out the ruthless directive of Order 66, which wiped out the Jedi Order. Kanan, a padawan at the time, lost his master in the attacks and barely survived being brutally hunted by the Clones he once called comrades. Clearly, Kanan will have slightly complicated feelings when he meets Rex, and it’s hard to say whether or not Ahsoka is correct in keeping him in the dark.
Another clip from Star Wars Rebels season 2, episode 3 suggests that, regardless of how this meeting begins, the crew of The Ghost will face a few challenges when they meet the aged Clone Troopers.
It’s hard to say whether we feel worse for Kanan or Zeb at this point.
Meanwhile, the new clip from “The Lost Commanders” also previews Ahsoka’s journey. Ezra correctly guesses that Ahsoka is seeking out the terrifying Sith lord who all but destroyed the rebel fleet in “The Siege of Lothal,” but Ahsoka insists that she must seek out Darth Vader herself.
“There are questions,” she says. “Questions that need answering.”
Indeed there are — but we don’t expect that Ahsoka will be happy with the answers.
Star Wars Rebels season 2 returns on Oct. 14 at 9:30 p.m. on Disney XD.
