Zeb and Chewie were playing holochess. C3-po and Ap-5 were comparing stories about what little the two could remember and how much trouble Chopper and R2-D2 got them into. Hera and Sabine just sat there silently staring at Lando. Lando looked nervous about being on the ghost again. The crew still didn't trust him. Chopper and R2 were both chatting in binary.

"Oh no. What is he doing here?" Ezra ask looking at Lando.

"You know Lando? He's with us. He got us into this mess and he's getting us out of it." Leia says.

"Please tell me that he doesn't know that we're..." Kanan started to say.

"He knows I am. It was kinda unavoidable to not tell him about you." Luke explains. Kanan rubs the bridge of his nose. Ezra does a face plant.

"How many people know about you?" The two ask.

"Everyone in the rebellion. Why?" Luke responds. Kanan rolls his eyes.

"I guess it's kinda hard to hide when your last name is Skywalker and your dad was one of the most famous Jedi of all time." Ezra says. This surprises both Luke and Kanan.

"Aren't you a little young to know my dad?" Luke ask.

"I'm no older than you are. I knew his Padawan Ahsoka Tano better though." Ezra says.

"Obi Wan and Yoda never said anything about my dad having a Padawan. Can I meet her?" Luke responses.

"She's dead Luke." Leia steps in.

"If you want to know more about your father you should talk to Captain Rex. He was master Skywalker's second in command. Behind Ahsoka that is." Ezra says.

"Master Jarrus, did you know him?" Luke ask.

"I attended a few lectures of his and he was on the Jedi council with my master for a short time. Other than that I'm sorry but we were never close." Kanan says. Leia walks up to Sabine and Hera.

"You know what happened to him!?" Luke states.

"We've run into him a few times." Ezra and Kanan both nod.

"Is he..." Luke starts. Ezra and Kanan look at each other. Ezra's look ask 'should I tell him?' Kanan's look says 'that's up to you kid.' Luke can sense the conversation between the two are having through the force. "Vader said he is my dad. Is this true or not?"

Ezra sighs. "I don't think I should be the one to tell you that. I can tell you this though. My parents were missing for eight years. When I finally learned about where they were they were already dead. I had always assumed they were, but I had already known the truth. The second they were taken away I knew I would never see them again. I knew they were dead the second they died. The force told me. Listen to it and it will tell you the truth. Every lie anyone has told you will be exposed. Even the ones you tell yourself." Ezra says.

Kanan smiles he's never been more proud of his Padawan. Maybe Master Yoda had sent Luke to be Ezra's Padawan. The thought had run through Kanan's mind a few times in the short time since he met Luke. The only problem was Luke and Ezra were the same age. Ezra was Luke's tutor and that was it. The age thing prevented the master and Padawan bound from forming. Even if Ezra did have a higher level of training. A Padawan had to be a lot more than a few days younger than their master.

The three Jedi now joined the others.

"Luke, I'd like to introduce you to the rest of the Ghost crew. The Twi'lik here is General Hera Syndulla. One of the best rebel squad leaders in the rebellion. Besides you that is. The colorful mando girl is Sabine Wren. She is the explosive expert of the group." Leia introduces.
