A clash of ideology takes center stage when Mon Mothma and the Rebellion’s tactics are challenged by Saw Gerrera in the fight against the Empire.
In episode 3 of season 4 of Rebels, the crew of the Ghost reunites on Yavin 4 after a mission lead by Hera is intercepted and repelled by the Empire. After a clash of ideologies on fighting the Empire, Hera and the crew are sent on a mission to spike an Imperial relay station so that they can use the Empire’s own tools against it. However, things soon go awry when an Imperial cruiser arrives unexpectedly. Saw Gerrara adds further surprise when he arrives at the station with his own mission in mind.
