Star Wars Rebels: The Rise of the Rebellion

Chapter 12: Legacy

While sleeping in his bunk aboard the Ghost, Ezra Bridger experiences a Force vision of his parents in prison, a white Loth-cat, and fighting Imperials with his lightsaber on the planet Garel. After awakening from his vision, falling out of his bunk as Garazeb Orrelios, still asleep, snores loudly, Ezra interrupts a meeting between Phoenix Leader Hera Syndulla , Zalo Tano, Kanan Jarrus, who were discussing plans to establish a permanent base for the rebellion.

"I had a vision." Ezra said.

"A vision?" Zalo asked, turning to Ezra. "About what?"

"My parents," Ezra replied.

"Really?" Zalo asked.

"Yeah, I had a vision. They're out there, and I've got to find them," Ezra said.

"Ezra, you know visions of the Force can be misinterpreted," Kanan said.

"Yeah, but 99% of the time, they turn out true," Zalo said, trying to give Ezra some hope.

"Just start at the beginning and tell us what you saw," Hera said.

"Some kind of Imperial prison, I think," Ezra said. "They were there, and there was a white Lothcat."

"You never wanted to talk about your parents," Kanan said.

"That was before this vision, Kanan," Ezra said. "It was so real, you have to believe me."

Zalo then put a comforting hand on Ezra's shoulder. "I believe you, Ezra," he said.

"I think it's time to show him," Kanan said to Hera.

"Show me what?" Ezra asked.

Kanan and Hera took Ezra to Hera's room, with Zalo following.

"Remember when Zeebo told you he knew what happened to your parents?" Hera asked.

"Yeah, but I didn't want to hear what he had to say because I thought I'd never see him again," Ezra said. "Why do you know where they are?"

"We know they were taken to an Imperial prison," Hera said as she pulled up a hologram of many planets. "One of a thousand."

"There are so many," Ezra said, looking around. "Where do we start?"

"Well, Zeebo didn't exactly know where they were, but he had fragments of information which we've been trying to piece together," Kanan said.

"We've called in every favor with every smuggler, trader, and pirate we know," Hera said. "We even asked Senator Organa to inquire with his sources, but we couldn't find them... I'm sorry, Ezra."

"Why didn't you tell me this sooner?" Ezra asked.

"There was nothing to tell," Kanan said. "Your parents are just... gone."

"Maybe not..." Zalo said aloud as the others looked at him.

"What are you saying, Zalo?" Hera asked.

"Ezra, you said in your vision you saw a white Lothcat, right?" Zalo asked.

"Yeah?" Ezra said.

"And unless I'm mistaken, Lothcats are native to Lothal, correct?" Zalo asked.

"That's right," Hera said.

"So maybe Ezra's vision is trying to tell him to go back to Lothal. Maybe his parents are still there, hiding," Zalo said.

"You really think so, Zalo?" Ezra asked hopefully.

"I don't know, Ezra, but right now, that white Lothcat is the best lead we've got to finding them. So don't give up hope just yet," Zalo said.

Later, Ezra was in his room, looking at holographic pictures of him and his parents, when he heard knocking at the door.
