7. Kindred

Complete story — includes the ending

Ezra, Jai Kell and Zeb move to secure the TIE Defender Elite's hyperdrive before the Imperial recovery team can find it, but Thrawn has already dispatched an additional helper for the search: Rukh, an assassin and unerringly accurate tracker. As Zeb takes the hyperdrive to safety, Ezra and Jai end up being chased by Rukh; they elude him with much difficulty, but a tracking beacon Rukh attached to their speeder leads Governor Pryce to the Ghost crew's hideout. While Hera and Chopper evacuate to Yavin with the stolen flight recorder, the rest of the rebels face the incoming Imperials to cover their retreat. Just before the two groups clash, the white Loth-Wolf reappears and leads them into a hidden tunnel complex imbued with the Force. Walking mysterious paths, the rebels inexplicably find themselves in a hidden settlement halfway across the planet which was visited in ancient times by the Jedi who erected the secret temple on Lothal, and discover that the Loth-Wolf is a messenger of the Force, here to tell them of a more sinister goal pursued by the Empire.
