Ezra races to Tatooine in the hopes of finding Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi before Maul hunts him down. Ezra’s journey reveals truths he hadn’t previously considered.
Maul has been tormenting Ezra for quite some time. The former Sith Lord steadfastly insists that Ezra Bridger is his apprentice. However, Maul has another goal as well: get revenge against Obi-Wan Kenobi. Finally, Maul’s two goals come to a head in this episode of Rebels. When Maul finds himself lost on Tatooine and unable to locate Obi-Wan, he tricks Ezra into traveling to the planet in the belief that Ezra’s struggles will draw out Kenobi. Ezra takes the bait, and the result is a final climactic battle between the long-time foes. Join us on Podcast Stardust as we analyze and discuss this classic from Star Wars: Rebels.
