The Search for Hope - A Star Wars Story

"The Search for Hope" is a continuation of the epilogue from Star Wars Rebels, and follows Ahsoka Tano and Sabine Wren in their quest to find Ezra Bridger, whose last known location was aboard Grand Admiral Thrawn's Star Destroyer, the Chimaera, in the skies of his homeworld Lothal.

Sabine smiled as they shared a brief, yet warm embrace. "It's been a while," she replied. "It certainly has," Ahsoka agreed. They let go of each other and sat back down in their seats. "So, where do we even begin?" Sabine asked. "I've been thinking, and I believe I've found a suitable starting point," Ahsoka grabbed the holocron off of the console and opened it.

Sabine's eyes widened, "The Imperial Palace?" Her tone was unpleasantly shocked and her eyebrows furrowed as she shifted her vision to Ahsoka. "Why are we traveling to the Core? Shouldn't we be heading to explore the Unknown Regions?" she asked. "When Rex calculated every star chart along his trajectory that day, all of them led in that direction."

"And that's exactly why we're returning to Coruscant. There's a vital piece of information we must acquire if we're going to even attempt to access that portion of the galaxy." Sabine shook her head in disapproval, "But after the fall of the Republic, the Emperor stripped away any remnant of the old Jedi Temple and converted it into his palace. What happens if the information you're looking for isn't even there?"

"The information I seek is stored in more places than one. I believe that if we can access the Imperial data vault, we can extract what we need." Ahsoka pointed to a quadrant of the temple that became highlighted in red. "Look, even if the data you're looking for is at the palace, what about the Imperial security? There's bound to be loyalists lurking in every corridor. How will we get around them?"

"That's where your skills with a blaster come in."
